Survivor: Exiled with the oldies?

I tuned in to the new season of Survivor last night. I don't watch every season of the show because I think it's getting a bit tired, but when it's good, it's still very entertaining. The twists they've rolled out for this installment sounded interesting. Overall, I enjoyed what I saw. The four tribe, "older men/ younger men/ older women/ younger women" format is a good way to shake things up and should create an interesting dynamic in the early episodes, which are usually pretty dull.

But about those "older women": I was looking at the cast bios on the CBS Survivor website (yes, I'm a big TV nerd) and noticed that of the four "older" women, one of them is less than a year older than me, and another is only 32--two years YOUNGER than me. So there you have it. I'm officially old, at least by reality TV standards. Does this mean I have to start wearing purple?

If that wasn't bad enough, the 32 year-old dude is grouped with the "younger men." Hrrumph. I'm off to burn a bra or something.
