I posted something similar to this on the spoiler or spec. board, but since I think it is gone and there are a couple of new candidates, I am going to post this again.

Likely Candidates:

Rich from S1 - It could be, but if it is then the people from ET, EW, and CBS Early Morning and wherever else he has been analyzing and making predictions for should kick his ass for lying. He missed the last pick, and that would mean he is flat out lying considering he should know who the F4 is. Either that or he is one dumb S.O.B. You also have MB who has been trying to keep S1 and S2 as two separate entities. He even tried to get someone (Emmy's?) to consider them as two different shows for the last season. That would be a tough argument to make if he brought someone on from the original to make a guest spot on the 2nd show.

Mike - It could be, but I doubt it. I would have considered more likely had there been 3 Kucha's left, and just 1 Oga instead of the other way around. So what you are left with are 3 people who don't know him very well, and Lis. Not much of a reunion.

Paul Hogan - This is my pick right now. With the new movie out, and with this being part of the whole Viacom family, if would make sense that they would want Hogan on the show to promote it. It also seems that Hogan and Survivor have had a cross-promotional thing going all along. Hogan promoted the series in January. Survivor Jerri appears with Hogan at the premiere of the movie. Hogan seems to have done a lot of appearances on CBS, and the topic of Survivor always seems to come up. And don't just assume because of Hogan's denials that he must not appear on the show. If there is a mystery guest, and Hogan says he is the mystery guest, then it wouldn't be much of a mystery, would it? I agree with an earlier post that he could be more coy with his denials, but I am not sure he is that proud of his appearance (i.e. sell out)

Steve Irwin a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter - This would be cool, but I doubt it is him. I see no reason for M.B. and CBS to promote a show from the Discovery Channel. So unless the Discovery Channel paid big bucks like Target, Doritos, etc., don't look for this to happen.

Rudy from S1 - Originally I thought this was foolish, but new information has made Rudy my second pick behind Hogan. Rudy is going to be the host of a new MB series. MB is certainly not above using his most successful vehicle to promote this show. Nothing in it for CBS, as this show will be on the USA network, but let's face it, CBS owes MB so I think they would allow it. Only strike against it is like Rich, the whole MB wanted S2 to be a separate entity from S1.

So there you have it. My pick is Paul Hogan, with Rudy being second. Anyone else would surprise me. But then again I'm usually wrong.
