Shouldn’t there be a moratorium on the number of “Survivor” contestants from a single geographic region? Just asking.Following in the $1 million footsteps of past “Survivor” players (and winners) Jenna Morasca and Amber Brkich, the ninth edition of the CBS reality show will feature Dolly Neely of Mercer.Neely, 25, was born in Clarion and currently lives on her family’s 90-acre farm near Lake Latonka, where she’s a shepherdess to 40 sheep.According to CBS’s Neely biography. she is a member of the National Rifle Association, likes to mountain bike, water ski and trap muskrats and beavers and says “The Seven Year Itch” is her favorite film. Neely, who looks a bit like Britney Spears circa “Oops, I Did It Again” in her publicity photo, claims Jesus Christ as her “ultimate hero.””Survivor: Vanuatu — Islands of Fire” was filmed last month in the South Pacific near Fiji. This edition, like “Survivor: Amazon,” will feature separate tribes pitting men against women, the Yasur Tribe vs. the Lopevi Tribe. The show premieres Sept. 16.
