Younger. Hotter. And, well, substantially more Caucasian. That's probably the quickest way to describe the new collection of 16 castaways who'll be fighting for a $1 million prize when Survivor: Guatemala — The Maya Empire premieres (Thurs., Sept. 15, at 8 p.m., on CBS). Though some of this season's competitors (the realtor-model or the magician's assistant-dancer, perhaps?) may consider this gig as a stepping stone to other, less-taxing reality shows, they'll still have to outwit, outlast, and outplay the competition, and survive 110-degree temperatures and scads of hungry mosquitoes.

Who will you pick in your office Survivor pool? The zookeeper? The fishmonger? Perhaps the former NFL quarterback? Don't put up your hard-earned money till you've read our official dossier on each contestant.
