I used to live in "the kingdom of Tonga" which is not very far from Vanuatu.

As seen from the pics (thanks HL) you can see, we are in for some awesome scenery.

PS: Kava tastes like MUD. I hope this replaces the obligatory wine and beer that they offer for reward occasionally.

This is a somewhat interesting site about volcanoes, by a vulcanologist who also does public speaking and small tours of volcanoes.

Pamal Village
Ambrym Island, Vanuatu

BTW, Probst was on Regis and Kelly this am, and he had some funny pics but not any stories or hints of things to come. Loved the interaction with Kelly tho. At one point he shared the story on how to crack a coconut, he watched an islander and decided it was easy, so he grabbed a machete, and slashed his wrist - he says he has virtually no scar - he showed a pic of the stitches!!

He said there were less bugs and great weather, and the crews accomadations were very lush!!

I've been seeing the promos for the new season now too. What stands out is they said "18 Castaways..." Two more than the standard. Could they be doing the three tribe thing they did in All Stars?

Also, this from the CBS site already set up for S9....(CBS S9).


quote:

VANUATU. Stranded on an island in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, a group of strangers will be forced to band together and carve out a new existence, to use their collective wits to make surviving in their primitive environment a little easier. In this wild and wonderful land, with its heat, poisonous insects and hidden predators, the Survivors must form a cooperative society, building shelter, gathering and catching food, and competing in Challenges. Host Jeff Probst will reward winners of these Challenges with things that make life on Vanuatu more bearable; those who fail must do without.




The way its worded ("a group of strangers will be forced to band together...") leads hope for me that they may indeed start this off as one big tribe, or perhaps at least all live together but still in separate tribes.

31 DAYS AND ONE HOUR AND 9 MINUTES!!! HOOO HOOOO!!!!

Thank you FreckledGrl!! I'm a HUGE BB fan, too, and Survivor, and TAR, and American Casino, and so on and so on and so on!! I just get really excited when they over-lap, so I don't have to go through withdrawal.

Hi Tess!! The Official countdown will start tomorrow when we meet them. I hope I can start a separate thread for it then. HamsterLady, I'd love to see someone from my hometown in Mich!! That would be really exciting, but I'll settle for another Tina from TN.

Rumor has it there is a contestant from my neck of the woods this time. That makes it even more exciting, since no one from Iowa is ever on anything. Yay!
