The reality competition kicks off June 1 and will run for four weeks as the star contestants face off in the jungles of Costa Rica. It is presently unknown what hairdo the well-coiffed star will choose to battle the jungle moisture.

Sanjaya has kept busy since his "Idol" days, releasing his memoirs and an album, both titled "Dancing to the Music In My Head," earlier this year.

    Sanjaya is one of three "normal" people on the show. The rest are self-promoting and annoying at all times. Sanjaya at least tries to get along and does not think of himself as more important than the rest.
