CBS has just announced the cast of Survivor: Redemption Island and it includesa cast member who previously appeared in promos for Evike.com'sZombie Hunter game.
Stephanie Valencia, a 26 year old waitress from Long Beach, CA was called up to ship out to for duty on the Zapatera tribe. Back in 2005, Stephanie appeared in the Zombie Hunter trailer, a promo for the live action airsoft game, Zombie Hunter, that uses gas-powered BB guns.
Why does she think that she will win Survivor? "I'm strong, fast and smart. I can hold my own and I'm not a quitter." Furthermore, she tells EW.com that "I'm really good at looking cute, but I'm better at kicking ass when I have to.'' Sounds like she might fare pretty well during the zombie apocalypse as well.
Meet Stephanie and the other Redemption Island survivors:

MTV News got a lesson in how to play a zombie from The Walking Dead's Key Special Makeup Effect Supervisor Greg Nicotero.
"One thing I learned from George Romero years ago was, if you ever demonstrate something to a group of people, all 50 people will do the exact same thing."
See The Walking Dead on Sunday nights at 10pm ET on AMC.

The October 29th episode of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, Maher picked a side in the fast vs. slow zombies debate by offering this observation about the current state of the undead:
If horror movie zombies really want to scare me, they have to walk faster. I don't even have to run from zombies. I can saunter, amble, stroll, promenade, stop for coffee at Peet's. Zombies, you may be disgusting, barely ambulatory member of the undead, but so is this guy [image of an overweight man on a scooter chair] ... and he can catch me.
New episodes of Real Time with Bill Maher air live on HBO on Friday nights at 10pm ET.
