Presenting Possible Presenters

Filming of Survivor SA has started and while it would be like looking for a needle in a ginormous haystack by trying to find out who the contestants are, finding out who the presenter is should not be so difficult. 

That’s assuming off course that he is coming from the Sybil Sands agency in Cape Town and off course assuming that it will be a HE.

I zipped over to the Sybil Sands website, went through all the profiles and decided to shortlist them to a few candidates who could be possible presenters.

So here they are in no particular order (except for the first 2 seeing that they are my current favs)

I have to shamelessly admit that my choices were based on looks and off course sporting interests and abilities. Probably not the criteria Survivor SA was looking at but who cares what they want. It’s what we want, innit?

And had they asked ME, I would have told them to go with candidate number 1.

OK – so it has already been said that candidate number 1 is not a candidate any longer. But I found him at the agency and I would have liked him to be THE presenter.

Candidate Number 1 - Colin Moss

For obvious reasons, Colin is my number one guy. That he hasn’t been chosen because his face is branded is a travesty of justice. I can just picture him doing a Jeffism with the ready steady go thing. And you KNOW he’ll be just great at tribal Council.

Candidate Number 2 - Cleveland Mitchell

I am hoping against hope that Cleveland Mitchell is our man. He is definitely the outdoorsy Man’s man and I can watch him hours at a time without blinking. In fact if Survivor SA consisted of nothing but Cleveland doing a monologue about the mating rituals of baboons, I would sit, riveted to my screen, not daring to move in case I missed a single syllable

Candidate Number 3 – Denton Douglas

I can just see him juggling his way though the contestants. Could he be the one to be pulling the strings on the Survivor puppets? I can just imagine all the fun he’ll have with them, being a ventriloquist and all, especially If he can mimic a lion. Sure, there are no lions on panama but the survivors wouldn’t be thinking that at the time.

Candidate Number 4 – Irvine Van Der Merwe

Now Irvine doesn’t exactly the physical profile I had in mind for the presenter, but there is something about him I quite like. Don’t know what it is but I couldn’t leave him off the list.

Candidate Number 5 – Anton Steyn 

Anton Steyn Anton Details

Now THIS blue-eyed, blonde-haired chunk-of-hunk seems as if he was built for this coveted position. The music aspect of him is casting some doubt though, because the gods help us if he turns out to be another Kurt Darren.


Candidate Number 6 - Elvis Chucks 

Elvis Chucks Elvis Details


Except for that silver chain around his neck, I really like elvis. He looks vibey and fun, just what is needed in Survivor. Not?

Candidate Number 7 - Jody Abrahams 

Jody Abrahams Jody Details


Again, not your typical host but I like that staring-thing he has going on. Music, comedy & sport… that’s what this show is all about it!

Candidate Number 8 - Jeremy Phillips

Jeremy looks just crazy enough to be a great presenter. He’s a STUNTMAN so nothing can scare him, especially not half-craed, paranoid, starved survivors, looking for some meat to chew on.


Candidate Number 9 - Floyed De Vaal 

Floyed De Vaal Floyed details

I only threw in Floyed so that I can freak you guys out. Although I have to say, he is quite sporty and daring and his weird element might be just what is needed to psyche out those Survivors.

And that’s my list.

Now that I have made you look and think and choose I need to add a small PS.
Could be quite a big PS, depending on which way you look at it.

*Insert mad Dr Evil laugh here*
While browsing the Sybil Sands website I noticed that it hadn’t been updated since March 2005.
*Insert another mad Dr Evil laugh here*

I promptly picked up my phone and called them to confirm that this is indeed so (IT IS) although they hastily added that they are busy updating it as we speak. It should be completed by mid-July but I’m not holding my breath.

I will revisit it often so that if there is any change whatsoever I will keep you informed.

Till then – in the words of Drew Carey – CLEVELAND ROCKS.

Ok, so the presenter is more than likely NOT to be on this page but i can barely stand the WAIT so i dug up these,,, you know, just in case. 

Looking at these candidates, who would you choose?

Sadly Cleveland is no longer with us, and though I might be biased, He too,  without a doubt would have been my favourite for the job.
