According to True Dork Times, the tribe split will be one I've been hoping would happen- youth vs. experience. More specifically, The Espdada (blue) tribe will all be people over 40. The La Flor (yellow) tribe will all be people under 30.

Filming Dates: June 14 - July 22 Premiere Date: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 A previous spoiler we are used to hearing about, Missyae, is up-to-date on this year's season, also. Missyae has said that he/she does not want to release a boot list in advance, but prefers to reveal spoilers prior to each episode. Actually, last season he/she had intended to do the same thing, but another poster at Sucks posted the boot list and Missyae was forced into a position of confirming. Whatever .... thanks to Survivor Fever, here is a summary of what Missyae has confirmed so far: From missyae: - no medevacs - no Exile Island - merge at 12 - 20 players - challenges not very physical - older tribe had more physical players but challenges did not favor them

Thanks to Survivor Skills, some good pics of a couple of the challenges submitted by a poster whose parents were camping near-by:
This looks like wall-climbing to me.
Close-up you can see the tribe names.
What the heck is this? One posted said it looked like it has water wheels???

Team names seem a little strange as one, La Flor, has the article, translating commonly as THE flower or bloom (and rarely as virginity which may be the meaning intended in this usage.) Espada lacks an article, translating variously as sword, swordsman, matador, or spade (as in the suit of cards.) Probably a better Spanish speaker than I can come up with a way to "parallel" the names, but they have me stumped.

The only boot list info I've stumbled over was slipped out by Missyae: ****************************** The rumor about Ex-Dallas Cowboys football coach Jimmy Johnson is true, he was on the 40 and over tribe but did not last long at all.

A couple more things let out by Missyae: Hii will be harder to find this time around because of the Russell Hantz factor. The first Hii is found on the first day. Two girls have the clue. There will be one double boot during this season.

Thanks to Survivor Fever ... an interview with Jeff from ET. **************************** When "Survivor: Nicaragua" premieres this fall on its new night, it will be a battle of the ages … literally. ET talks to host Jeff Probst to get the inside story on how the 20 new castaways will be divided into two tribes: Young vs. Old. The Espada Tribe will be made up of individuals over the age of 40, while the La Flor Tribe members will be 30 years and younger ET: What can you tell me about the new season? Jeff Probst: Early in casting, we decided we had a lot of good older people. And older people on "Survivor" means over 40, so bear that in mind. So Mark [Burnett] decided he wanted to do old vs. young, which is risky for us to do because one tribe could dominate the other and it would be over soon. Surprisingly, it was a very interesting experience early on. We have a great, fun cast. ET: Normally, when older people are cast they are voted off right away. Jeff Probst: Yeah. Typically, if you are older, you are in trouble because they tend to keep the younger people around. Now, the older tribe is on its own. All they have to do is win to stay on the show. It is wisdom vs. brawn. That is the question. Being strong is one thing, but do you have anything upstairs? That is where you usually see the older people excel. They know how to think; they know how to remain calm. They have lived a little. ET: Did you keep the same challenges? Jeff Probst: No. We adapted the challenges. You don't want to do big, strong physical, knock-down, drag-out challenges when it is old vs. young. We built challenges that would be as fair for a 68-year-old guy as they would for an 18-year-old woman. ET: So are we going to have some good villains this season? Jeff Probst: The villains remain to be seen. I cannot ever predict who people are going to love or love to hate. There are people on this show that annoy me that become heroes. There are people that I love, like Coach, who end up becoming villains. I can't predict anymore. But there are some memorable characters. ET: The past two seasons the Tribal Councils have been really good. How do you keep it fresh? Jeff Probst: I think keeping the show fresh is done the minute you put new people on it. You get a new group of people and it is a whole new show. If I was interviewing the same group year after year, it might grow old, but they have new answers and I have new tricks for getting answers, so it makes it fun. ET: So it still surprises you? Jeff Probst: That is what I like. I like when somebody comes to Tribal ready to play. "Survivor: Nicaragua" premieres Wednesday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

Weeding through information by Missyae, I bring over this: ************************* The first boot is a female There is supposedly a minority alliance (I think I was reading Puerto Rican into part of the clue). There are 2 (maybe 3) Survivor firsts during this season. Since nothing is confirmed, I will not go into the assumptions, but one involves 2 girls. Missyae says we are going to love a lot of characters that go early, and we are going to love the characters at the end. She is convinced we are really going to like this whole season. Also says there are at least 4 Tribal Councils she cannot wait to see Jeff's reaction to.

Stand up and get crunk!!! Ginger, are we supposed to take that to mean we may have our first "girl on girl" action this season?

Possibly, Lexie .... since the spoiler was inconclusive, and people were guessing at it, the spoiler would not spell it out..........so I really have no idea.

Wonder if he's related to Quinton Tarantino? Of course that name might be more common in the northeast where there are a lot more people of Italian descent. Here in Texas we are more likely to have names like JimBob and Bubba and Sissy.

DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!! Blackwhale, a spoiler from Sucks who has had a pretty decent track record says the following: (I picked this information up over at Survivor Blows where they were quoting Blackwhale.) 40+ tribe members: 6 booted premerge 4 make jury 30- tribe members: 2 booted premerge 5 make jury Which means the final three are all from the younger tribe.

So JJ makes it to at least episode 2- huh? Looks like the challenge creators screwed up this season- if one of the 2 pre-merge under 30's boots is part of a double TC ep, that means the 40 pluses win exactly 1 IC tribe challenge.

Missyae said the following 11 players were memorable characters. I checked the names against the team and found out that 8 out of the 11 are on the under-30 team. All but Holly, Danny and Jill are on the under-30 team. Kelly Bruno Shannon Elkins Holly Huffman Danny Lembo Naonka Mixon Kelly Shinn Jill Behm Chase Rice Sash O Frash (Matthew) Fabio (Judson) Brenda Lowe

this will actually make for a boring first half of the season because 1 tribe is going to go on a immunity run and we will barely get to see them til the merge.
