Leaks about the very popular reality show, Survivor, are surfacing. The 21st episode of the show that drops some ordinary and some not-so-ordinary people in the wild with little to no food, shelter, or water is taping in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua for the fall season.

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America and is a representative democratic republic. It is bordered by Honduras, Costa Rica, the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Before Survivor: Nicaragua, the country may be most famous to Americans for various political issues such as The Republic of Nicaragua versus The United States of America.

In1986 a case of the International Court of Justice ruled in favor of Nicaragua and against the United States and awarded reparations to Nicaragua. The Court found in its verdict that the United States was "in breach of its obligations under customary international law not to use force against another State", "not to intervene in its affairs", "not to violate its sovereignty", "not to interrupt peaceful maritime commerce", and "in breach of its obligations under Article XIX of the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation between the Parties signed at Managua on 21 January 1956."Wikipedia.

In any case I believe in Gandhi's saying "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" so off to Survivor: Nicaraqua where Jimmy Johnson who was the former coach at the University of Miami and the NFL's Dallas Cowboys will be a contestant. Mr. Johnson is 67-years old. He is currently an analyst for NFL and FOX.

Survivor isn't just a game of strength although strength I don't think there has been a winner who hasn't been strong both physically and mentally. It certainly helps even if it doesn't ensure a win. Survivor is also a game of strategy and outwitting your teammates.

Strength, not age, is key so don't let Jimmy's age vote him off. His work as a coach has given him skills of strategy and cunning that are hard to come by. I have no doubt that Jimmy is fit for duty.

Johnson won two Super Bowl titles with the Cowboys in the 1990s.

Some reports say that Mr. Johnson tried out for the 2008 show, Survivor: Gabon but didn't pass the physical.

Mr. Johnson has been:

a bearded prisoner in lockup on the TV series The Shield.

a guest star on the TV Series Coach in 1994, an episode entitled "Johnsonwreckers".

in the movie The Waterboy next to Bill Cowher.
