Transcript (thanks, VG!)
Julie Chen: "Survivor #7 is coming soon and this time, the hit reality show will be a swashbuckling adventure on Panama's Pearl Islands. As always, sixteen Americans will be left to 'outwit, outplay and outlast' one another until one remains to take home the million dollar prize. This morning, we have an exclusive first look at the competitors for Survivor Pearl Islands."
(Boring intros removed)
Osten: "Normally, you're not gonna catch me out like, you know, camping. You're not gonna see me sleeping on no damn beach, you know. But if you throw money in the mix, I'm ready, I'm all yours."
Nicole: " I tend to get what I want out of people, out of situations and make them work for me."
Rupert: "I'll be one of the leaders. I'll kind of help and direct and guide everybody without them truly understanding that I'm telling them what to do."
Sandra: "If I find out through the grapevine that somebody is even talking about me or if they even dislike me a little bit, if I find out, it's over."
Jon: "Like, I hate the old people, like... and I'm going to do everything I can to get rid of the old people and create young people utopia."
Shawn: "My strategy is not to have a strategy; it's to be dynamic; it's to be myself. I have no intention of being on the Early Show early."
