Survivor Cook Islands: 3 Actors and 13 Californians
CBS has reveiled its Cook Islands Website for this seasons Survivor and has also decided that California is the only place it recruits from with 13 of the 20 castaways being from Cali.
Of the 20 players, 13 are from California, and nine of those are from Los Angeles. A few are listed by other cities to help disguise this fact, but Venice and Marina Del Rey are both basically part of Los Angeles.
Whats even more rediculous many of them are actors, two of whom have together had parts on all three CSIs. Sundra Oakley was on CSI Miami, while Jonathan Penner was on CSI New York and the original version. While Sundra is listed in her CBS bio as an actress, Jonathan is listed as a writer/producer, as he wrote and produced the TV movie version of The Lone Ranger.

There’s also Sekou Bunch, who was in “Wild Orchid II: Two Shades of Blue,” and while his name is distinct enough to prove that’s probably him, there is a Billy Garcia who’s an actor, although it’s unclear if he’s the same person as the cast member, just as it’s unknown if Jessica Smith is one of the many people listed on IMDB. In addition, the Becky Lee who’s a director is probably not the attorney with the same name who’s on the show. But 25-year-old Oscar, who’s identified as a waiter living in Venice, is probably just an actor who’s yet to be cast.
In any case, that’s quite a few actors; apparently, recruiting people for the show consisted of calling agents and walking into casting offices.
