Appearing on a reality show is often a recipe for personal humiliation — just ask that poor dude from The Joe Schmo Show — so a few days before Survivor: Redemption Island began filming, I thought it would help prepare the contestants if they fessed up to their most embarrassing moments ever. But even I wasn’t prepared for some of the shenanigans this batch has already lived through. See which contestant named her cold sore “Mark Burnett”, which one had a very public SPANX disaster, and which two — yes, two! — players peed all over themselves. Learn more about the cast of Survivor than you ever thought you would. And perhaps more than you wanted! Just click on the video player below and see for yourself.

I commented but it was not shown? Maybe because I was being critical.
Survivor has gotten boring, and even a video of embarrassing moments (having nothing to do with the filmed show) will help?
Dalton, you have friends on the crew, right? Can you get a message to the challenge-makers to ditch the obstacle course and puzzle crap?
That’s just your opinion, if the show is so boring stop watching it and move on, I willing to bet there are a lot more people who love the show and challenges. Keep up the good work, great show
See, Justine? SIX comments = viewers going somewhere else.
I still love Survivor. Didn’t really care for this video though. I don’t care about their past embarrassing moments.
Maybe it was the lighting, but everyone looked like a supermodel in that video — except for Fabio 2.0, who looked like he was smoking meth till 6 in the morning.
Lol i call him Fabio 2.0 too. He’s got none of Fabio’s charm though.
I LOVE Fabio 2.0. He’s awesome. Cute, sweet, trusting, adorable.
Did everyone have enlarged tongues? Cuz that’s how they talked.
Get ready for two more seasons of their precious little cash cow. Nothing speaks louder than the almighty dollar.
awesome!!!
I don’t care about their most embarrassing moments outside of Survivor filming…having said that…it is unfair to them since this episode has been focused on Rob/Russell and we really haven’t had much chance to get to know them all much…what with redemption island time away from camp and all the attention on previous stars…hope Survivor gets back to the original concept and let us sit back and peer into the individuals as they play Survivor…no more retreads..please…
