Name: Robert "Bob" Crowley
Age: 58
Hometown: Portland, Maine
Occupation: Physics Teacher

Bio: Robert Crowley considers himself a hybrid of Indiana Jones and Robinson Crusoe. He loves the outdoors and is always ready for his next adventure.

Robert is a high school physics teacher in Gorham, Maine and holds both Associate and Bachelor degrees in forestry from the University of Maine - Orono and a Masters of Education degree from the University of Southern Maine. However, after the school bell rings, Robert becomes an entrepreneur. His wide range of jobs span from being a first mate on a research boat for the Smithsonian Institution in Canada to an entomologist for the USDA, to a skunk relocater, as well as President, Vice President and Chief Negotiator for his local Teacher's Union.

When not on an adventure, Robert's interests include journal writing, story telling, photography, bone collecting, archeology and camping.

This tree climbing scientist, who describes himself as honest, adventurous, resourceful and witty, built his truly "green" summer cabin back when green was only referred to as the color. His "green" cabin was completely built with recycled material and requires a fraction of the energy of the average U.S. home. He's built numerous structures from recycled material including wharfs, saunas, a chicken house and a hunting cabin.

Robert strategy is to be a provider and to fly under the radar on SURVIVOR. He's out to prove that nice guys can make it to the end of the game.

Robert and his wife Peggy reside in Portland, Maine. They have two sons, David and John, one daughter, Page, and a high maintenance cat named William. Robert's birth date is February 25, 1951.

Jeff Probst says: ”He’s the oldest guy out there. And unfortunately, that works against people all the time, even though there’s probably nobody better equipped for this game. He’s probably the guy who will be the biggest asset, if they don’t get foolish and vote him out.”

Name: Charlie Herschel
Age: 29
Hometown: New York, New York
Occupation: Lawyer (Whoo hoo! - sarcasm)

Bio: Charlie Herschel has been a fan of SURVIVOR since the first season and has been training for it ever since. A lawyer for one of the top 10 most prestigious law firms in the world, Herschel is ready to try his persuasion skills on a different type of jury.

This 29-year-old, marathon-running attorney and University of Pennsylvania graduate says he is above nothing when he gets to the island. Charlie's strategy is to be authentic but with a twist. "With high risks, come high rewards, but the risks must be calculated." The middle son of three boys and a native New Yorker, the Ivy Leaguer is not afraid to claw his way to the top.

In his free time, Herschel trains to race in marathons around the country. He credits this passion for helping him stay in shape. Through his training, Charlie dropped 60 pounds and continues to be at fighting weight.

Charlie is single and currently resides in New York City. His birth date is May 12, 1979.

Jeff Probst says: ”Charlie prides himself on being very bright and educated. And the question I’d say for Charlie is, ‘Can he stand up for himself? Does he really have a voice?’ Or is he just going to look for somebody to hang on to and see how far they’ll pull him along.”

I wish I were in this episode. My first mission would be to take this ultra-lib fishing on the other side of the island.

Two go out, one comes back.........Sorry Mr. Probst, a perch ate him.
