“CBS officially announced the cast of Survivor: China, yesterday and professional poker player Jean-Roberts Bellande was on the list.
There were rumors Bellande would star in the reality television show, which has contestants duke it out for more than 30 days in a remote location, for months but this is the first official confirmation.
The Hollywood resident has already “outwitted, outplayed and outlasted” countless poker players but this will be his first venture into reality TV.
Bellande said in an interview on http://www.cbs.com that he wasn’t exactly thrilled about the idea of being on Survivor from the beginning.”
