I tend to agree, this show is at its best when they stick with all first time cast members.This looks like a disaster. And I love Survivor.
Kat.. "I'm not as naive as I was".. Meanwhile her boyfriend is having a hard time keeping a straight face
If you mean disaster as inThis looks like a disaster. And I love Survivor.
* First impressions can be key in the game like Survivor, and that will prove true here as just moments after meeting each other, each team will vote one member off their tribe. They will later be informed that these people have not been voted out of the game, but rather will be sent to Redemption Island, which makes its return after having been absent for the past three seasons. There they will battle to stay alive and reenter the game at a later point.
* Confused yet? Well, it gets even more confusing! Jeff Probst will then immediately offer each of the loved ones of the two people voted off the opportunity to trade places with them, meaning that if, say, returning player Tina is voted out of her tribe at the start, her daughter Katie can opt to take her place at Redemption Island instead, and Tina would then join the tribe of newbies.
* As mentioned, Redemption Island is back. Anyone voted out will be sent there and will then compete in a three person duel. The last place finisher in each contest is out of the game for good, while the top two remain. However, if someone’s loved one is still in the game they can take their loved one’s place before a duel. (So if, say, Monica is at Redemption Island but her husband Brad thinks he would do better at a duel involving strength, he can swap places with her, electing to do the duel while she takes his place on his tribe. They could then swap again at the next duel if it is a contest better suited to her strengths.) “That puts blood and water to the test,” says Probst. “And we’re gonna do it at every duel. So the first time early in the game, somebody may say ‘It’s just too early.” But as those duels increase and they get closer to what they think might be a merge, their strategy is going to start to change.”
* That’s not all when it comes to Redemption Island. The person who finishes first in each duel will also get to give a clue to the location of a hidden immunity idol to any person from either tribe that they choose. “There’s all these things you can do,” says Probst. “Because for a moment, even though you’re on the outest, furthest part of the game, you have a little bit of power.”
My apologies...I was a little overzealous on the news.In, but there is a thread here somewhere (although it isn't official)
Same here. Most of these people returning are either annoying as hell or boring.Colton, and some of these people are only dating? Think I'm out.
Yes. He seemed like a pretty bright guy. Level-headed, former basketball player turned yoga instructor IIRC.I've seen every season and I don't remember Aras from Exile Island at all. And he won?
Can't wait to see Rupert make love to his fat wife....
No Parvati and very little eye candy.is Pavarti or whatever her name is or any of the hot ones going to be on this?
Did the other thread get deleted? No biggie either way. Looks like all the rumors in the other thread were correct.In, but there is a thread here somewhere (although it isn't official)
Judging by how much he was sweating in his interview, I am expecting a heart attack a few episodes in.####, I thought we were finally free of Rupert.
Returning players means it's already been spoiled to the final 3.I figure one thread is good for commentary on the show, and the other for commentary on who spilled the beans on the trailing "spoilers" for next week.
Yeah, I keep getting confused which one to post in. This thread started up after the one I started but I don't care which one lives. Even if a mod just locks one that would be good enough.Can we get the 2 threads merged?
Parvati still has it. Geez that chick is hot.I watched the TV Guide preview thing hosted by Parvarti. Tons of filler but also a little info on the players.
Just took it off the DVR record list. I'm sick of the show bringing back bad players. That was the most boring season opener to date.Colton is already on my last nerve.
Doesn't it weaken her more to know that a future beat down might send her daughter home? Seems to me you want somebody on the other team to be thinking "Should I risk my daughter's future in the game?" while she's competing, not "I'll teach them a lesson for voting out my daughter!"Should have voted Katie off. Gervaise wouldn't care if Marissa got voted off but it would likely upset Tina to know her beat down at the puzzle sent her daughter home. Tina is a much greater threat and it was a missed opportunity to weaken her. Plus if you have a guy-alliance going would be better to keep Gervaise as a more likely ally.
I think the theme is great. More strategy and chances for friction. Don't see a downside.
The lack of eye-candy is puzzling to say the least.

I say it every year, but damn if you plan on being on Survivor, wouldn't you spend the next 12 months using your free time to get in tip top shape and learn how to make fire? Or learn how to swim?
