da do do do da dah dah dah is all I want to say to you..... I just told dh about Ashley Underwood being on and he is so excited! He is a big fan of high school basketball, so he remembers her playing for Cony, later for University of Maine, and becoming Miss Maine 2009. She also played professional basketball in Switzerland for a year. Her hometown is tiny. According to Dan's reasoning, that makes her a big threat to win. LOL

I like it on Wednesday - it's the only thing on that night that I watch. Thursday night there's a lot to watch.

He is a new player for Survivor 22. The only repeat players are suppose to be Russell and Boston Rob.

Cut and pasted this article from a link furnished over at Survivor Blows: ********************************* Reality Blurred Andy Dehnart More details about Survivor Redemption Island Survivor Redemption Island December 20, 2010, 6:55 AM The official announcement of Survivor Redemption Island on Sunday night was followed by additional details about the new, game-changing twist. Among other things, there will usually be two challenges per episode, a combined reward and immunity plus the new redemption duel, while the twist is something that CBS has rejected for years. USA TODAY calls it a “long-term tweak to its format,” meaning we can expect this twist for future seasons (and the show will be renewed, and Jeff Probst will be back, unless someone does something really stupid). The paper also reports that “Probst says he and executive producer Mark Burnett have been pushing CBS to make the change for two years,” which is really interesting. Why have they resisted it, besides the obvious general fear of change and risk that television network executives have, especially controlling ones? Also, Probst says in a press release—I mean, in an Entertainment Weekly interview—that this is different than Survivor Pearl Islands’ outcasts twist because “it didn’t work and it didn't please the audience and there was one fundamental flaw: We didn’t tell people up front it was going to happen. I just told everybody [at the opening] it’s going to happen. Make no mistake: When you’re voted out, you’re not going home, and somebody that you vote out could come back and bite you in the ass. So I have no problem with people coming back into the game because everybody knows up front. A rule can’t be unfair if you know going in. It’s an equal opportunity.” Before the season taped, Probst also told the magazine, “This is the most excited I’ve been in a long time when it comes to a twist. I really hope Redemption Island adds a new layer that we can use for years to come. We have no idea what’s gong to happen. It’s a big risk. It could fail miserably. I don’t think it’s going to.” I agree: I think this is a smart move. The game needed a shake-up, and this is a perfect way to do it, even if it does borrow heavily from MTV’s Challenge shows. As with most of Survivor’s twists—none of which have been big structural changes like this—it retains the core integrity of the show while forcing people to play differently. And that has the potential to be awesome.

New thread with good information about spoilers (people) going on over at Survivor Blows. **************************** The thread covers the fact that Missyae was fed false information (as we know) about S22, passed it on to us and then had to retrack it. Talk is that this info was passed on in order to track down the spoiler sources and close the pipeline. The source was closed down, plus Missyae received a lawsuit. So, as a result, there will probably be less, or maybe none, of the fairly reliable spoiling that Missyae has done for the past two seasons (or more). Another spoiler has not been as reliable, and is believed to have just repackaged what Missyae was putting out there. So, the spoiling (as such) for S22, will pretty much go back to the way it was prior to Missyae ... which is analysis from the preview pics, rumors weeded through, Facebook and Tweeter (and similar stuff) following, ...... which can sometimes be completely wrong (LOL). Below is a list of spoiling summarized over at Survivor Blows regarding S22 that was done before Missyae was shut down. ******************************** Survivor Blows: Poster Krautboy Here’s a summary of sourced spoilers for S22 posted before the leak was plugged. * Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz will be on S22. *They will have some kind of protection (immunity?) until the merge. *Russell will be voted out on September 5th (TC9 according to TDT’s calendar) This may mean he doesn’t make the jury, if there is an F3 and a 7 person jury. * Russell does not make it to the family visit. * Rob outlasts Russell (makes the jury?) *Neither Rob or Russell make it to the F3. ***************************************** Ginger: There is a rumor out there that Russell and Rob were each given a player to select to mentor, and if that player won they got big bucks. Do not believe this one...most believe it is just a lot of BS. Ginger: Interesting talk about how CBS notified 8 family members to get ready for a family visit, 7 actually get the call, and 6 are there and ready for that filming. Melanie Hantz (Russell's wife) was tracked through Facebook to be active here during that time, so that is how it has been determined that Russell got booted at F9. Melanie supposedly didn't even receive a phone call (which would have been for the final 8).

I am guessing that Rob and Russell start out on opposing teams and don't have any interaction until the merge? If they start out at 20 people and merge at 10, that means Russell leaves before the merge, but that can't be if he has immunity until the merge! Less people initially? Merge with bigger number? Inquiring minds want to know!!

TNT ... backtrack and rethink: 20 people (and so far I don't know how many start) 10 people at merge means the boot at that show would be F10 9 people left ... boot at that show would be F9. So, if Russell gets the boot at F9, and the merge is at F10, then he made the merge (which he should). Is he on the jury ....??? All depends on if it is an F2 or an F3 Final, and if there are 7 on the jury, or less.

Ahhhhhh, I see now! I took TC9 in your post to mean the ninth TC, not the TC where there were nine people left -

Stand up and get crunk!!! Ginger... Re: your 5:47 a.m. post from Krautboy. There is no way we don't see the Russell boot until September 5. The show starts in February - seven months earlier. Did no one catch that at Survivor Blows? Do we know who this Krautboy is?

You guys are cracking me up ..... I guess I just think you understand the lingo, and forget you might not know what in the heck I'm talking about: ****************** TNT --- TC9 would be the ninth TC and has absolutely nothing to do with F9. F9 would be the 9th person left standing. That means he or she got 9th place. The money they receive goes up in stages. F1 is the one that gets the $1 million. F2 is in second place (like Chase was) and receives $100,000. Quite a spread there. Below that is something like $90,000, $85,000, I'm not really sure how the scale goes...but the longer you stay in, the more you win. Going out at F9 will not make Russell happy. Also, I've been thinking about the Redemption Island aspect. What if Russell goes out right at the merge (first one after merge to get boot) and is really F10, and then the next show has to battle at Redemption Island and loses which means Melanie didn't receive a call. I'm really wondering how this works. Lexie - Season #21 and #22 were filmed back to back in Nicaragua. The Russell/Rob one was filmed in August, ending in September. They only got out of there days before that bad hurricane went through.....and a lot of the crew were still there. The filming has been in the can since September ... the show starts in February ... and they, as well as us, will know who the $1 million winner is at the end of the season at the Live Show Reunion.

Yeah Ginger... I understand that it is filmed back to back and has been for the last couple of years. It was just the way Krautboy phrased it made it sound like we wouldn't see the episode where Russell gets the boot until September 5, 2011!!
