Las Vegan joins ‘Survivor’

A Las Vegas poker player, a Christian talk radio host and a WWE wrestler lead the newly announced castaways for CBS' "Survivor: China."

The 15th installment of the CBS staple will premiere Sept. 20 with an episode that finds the castaways starting in downtown Shanghai and moving to HuangPu Mountain's Mi Tuo Temple for a Buddhist ceremony. Then the castaways will be placed on separate islands on the Zhelin Lake in the Jiangxi Province.

Originally from Long Island, N.Y., local professional card player Jean-Robert Bellande will join Leslie Nease, a Christian talk radio host who competed in the 2001 Mrs. USA pageant, Ashley Massaro, a WWE Diva who appeared in the April edition of Playboy, and 13 others for the competition.

Each tribe will be given a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" for motivation and assistance.
