Okay .... let's get this show on the road! Pics and info, thanks to TDT ***************************
The 16-member cast arrive on a huge military helicopter. Jeff Probst has stated that this thing is so loud and you can't hear anything else while you are up in it. The 16 cast members are divided into two tribes:
Zapatera - 4 guys, 4 gals
Ometepe - 3 guys, 5 gals (1 guy has beautiful long blonde hair). Ginger: First time I remember a tribe with more gals than guys starting out --- wonder how that happened. Jeff explains in advance to the players about Redemption Island (to keep everything upfront and above board fair). He also introduces them to two previous players who will be their mentors by the luck of the draw. Rob gets Ometepe Russell gets Zapatera Since each one-hour show will have a Redemption Island duel contest in it, each tribal challenge will be a combination reward/immunity challenge. Here's two shots from the challenge in Episode 1.
Per TDT: The challenge itself involves five of each tribe shoving giant step-like objects, by means of poles attached to the sides. Since they actually appear to form stairs when together, we'd guess they eventually have to climb the steps, to join their remaining tribemates (perhaps for a puzzle, as in Samoa). No sign of Rob or Russell, so they must be on the other task(s). Steve, David, Julie, Stephanie and Krista are visible for Zapatera; Phillip, Matt, Andrea, Francesca, Natalie for Ometepe. Mike appears to join Zapatera in running at some point. No clue at this point as to which tribe wins, but nobody gets booted off ... instead somebody gets voted out and heads for Redemption Island.

Survivor Blows has captured 3 cut and paste spoilers from over at Survivor Sucks regarding Survivor: Redemption Island from poster Blackwhale. Looking at them, they are not exact spoilers like boot list order or anything like that, but they are interesting info to have: **************************** Posted by Blackwhale over at SSucks: "Krista Klumpp is a pretty smart girl. She may voice disdain for Russell in her Dalton Ross interview, but she grasps the concept that Russell's a free vote. He'll play recklessly since he doesn't have to worry about reprecussions for a while. So might as well get on his side." Survivor Spoilers blackwhale 01/10/11 08:33 PM "Stephanie Valencia = Marisa Calihan? That may be so. Not quite sure if its Ometepe or Zapatera that goes to tribal council first, but when Zapatera goes, look for Stephanie to go quick. She and Russell clash." Survivor Spoilers blackwhale 01/10/11 08:03 PM "I hear Francesca is premerge" Survivor Spoilers blackwhale 01/10/11 07:54 PM

CBS official announcement of R&R in Los Angeles Times: ********************* LOS ANGELES - Jan. 13, 2011 - CBS announced today that two former Survivors, Russell Hantz and "Boston" Rob Mariano, will join the 16 previously announced castaways on SURVIVOR: REDEMPTION ISLAND when the series returns for its 22nd season, Wednesday, Feb. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Having never been awarded the title of Sole Survivor, Hantz and Mariano return to compete for the one million dollar prize and one last shot at redemption. Each one will join a separate tribe of new castaways at the start of the game, but it's up to the tribe to decide if they will welcome the knowledge of an experienced veteran, or view these former castaways as a threat in the ultimate battle to outwit, outplay and outlast. ************************** Ginger: This does not sound to me like R&R are placed with the two tribes as mentors, but are actually competing for the money from day one.

Sounds pretty similar to what they did with Stephanie and that other guy (can't remember his name).

One tribe will still have more men than women though...of course depending on the men that might not be such an advantage!

I was putting them in the general Spoiler thread as TDT spoiled them, prior to being able to open up this thread for Episode 1. Somebody usually puts them up individually in the non-spoiling section, for posting, so eventually that will be done....not something I do.

Here's a link to watch the TVGuide.com preview of Episode 1. You get to see the "Push It Uphill" challenge done by the Dream Team and explained by the Producer. Also, shots of the actual survivors performing, but not who wins. ******************************** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRDBQkC2U-g

Okay ... what is it I think I know so far about Episode 1? ********************************** Pictured above ... survivors are delivered to the beach by helicopter. Teams are selected by draw. Ometepe (orange buffs) has 5 girls and 3 guys, and Zapatera (purple buffs) has 4 girls and 4 guys. Russell and Rob draw for the team they join (picture is above). Rob gets Ometepe and Russell gets Zapatera. First reward/immunity challenge is "Push It Uphill" (link in post above this one). Posters/Speculators/Spoilers are leaning towards a Zapatera win with Phillip getting sent to Redemption Island. If Ometepe wins, the choice to go to Redemption Island seems to be Stephanie. Since spoilers seem to think Stephanie is the first boot, that leaves a bit of room for confusion, cause Stephanie is on Zapatera and if Zapatera wins, how could Stephanie be the first boot? Poster Krautboy at Survivor Blows offers up a possible solution in suggesting that Zapatera wins the 1st episode and Ometepe sends Phillip to Redemption Island, and Zapatera loses the 2nd episode sending Stephanie to Redemption Island where she loses the battle to Phillip and, hence, becomes the actual "first boot", leaving Phillip at Redemption Island to battle it out with another contender later on. Who knows? Could be. So, if you are playing any of the games, it looks like your best choice for Episode 1 is Phillip or Stephanie. Nothing definite as of this time.

Really nothing new to post since my posting of February 4th. ********************* Voting is going on over at Survivor Blows, and it is between Stephenie and Phillip, which means one from either tribe. So nobody knows which tribe will win the challenge. There are more leaning towards a Zapatera win with Phillip going to Redemption Island tonight.

And I saw online today that "the <Russell> leak" is denying it all.

I really wonder if the whole thing is a publicity stunt.
