From MSN Entertainment: "At the end of the reunion, the location for the 10th season and yet another twist was revealed. Twenty castaways — past seasons have only included 16 or 18 — are headed to Palau, an island nation located in the Pacific. Host Jeff Probst promised "everything the survivors have come to expect will be wiped out in the first 10 minutes."" Is it too early to start the speculating? Why 20? What could be so different that everything expected will be wiped out in the first 10 minutes?

First thing I thought when I heard that Bluejaxrock, was that they are going to do away with the two tribes. Just a guess on my part, but as discussion on this board has proved, going with one tribe would definitely shake things up from the beginning!!!!

Maybe it's also gonna be more than 39 days this time. With 20, they could go to as much as 45 to 48 days. Remember in season 2 they went 42 days, which I think is better than 39 anyway...

I can't imagine a tribe of 20...I can see that going either way...easy to break off into little cliques, but maybe too hard to actually bond. Interesting take on it, Kep. I'm not sure I could take 40+ days of it, though, unless they really shook things up and tribal council immediately followed the immunity challenge. Y'know, bring your stuff to the challenge, do the challenge, and go directly to tribal council, do not pass go, do not collect your $200, do not have time to scheme and connive as to who you are going to vote out. Gimme some spontaneity (sp?).

Maybe they'll have bigger tribes but more early eliminations, perhaps two at a time or each team does personal immunity, not a team immunity, and one person goes each week from each team. My first thought was also that there wouldn't be teams at the beginning. But remember all the hype over the first ten minutes of this season? And in the end it was so un-exciting I can't even remember what happened.

Well I remember there being a post a while back that someone was wishing there was one tribe, and people were randomly sorted into two teams for the IC's. The team that lost would then go to tribal counsel...and vote off one. When I read that post I thought, wow bet CBS picks up on that one....(hehehe) maybe they did?

imagine if they were all 'individual' from the very beginning, in one large tribe. it would take some long times to do the reward and immunity challenges if they were all individual from the start, huh?! unless they did something simple like see who could spit the farthest or burp the alphabet. another thing would be to have the surivors **all be male or all be female! an entire game with all one sex. ...**decided in advance, LOLOLOL i think they should all be separated from each other and only meet at challenges. survival camp all by your lonesome! 20 little camps...or maybe they should take a vow of silence? how much aligning would they do through gestures?

unless they did something simple like see who could spit the farthest or burp the alphabet. I believe those are already ON reality shows airing on Fox, or WB.

I have a friend who can burp the alphabet. Maybe that's nothing particularly interesting in itself, but she's a well respected college professor. She comes across as a very professional and very elegant lady. I'm so jealous of her talents...'cause I can only get to D or E :-(

i think it would be great if they had 3 tribes...and 2 tribes go to tribal concil ....or one tribe gets to vote off someone from the other tribe...or they have to live on a boat the whole time and they get alot of storms...just a thought

The 10th edition of Survivor won't premiere until February, but CBS has already picked up seasons 11 and 12 of Mark Burnett's hit reality show, reports Variety. The renewal means TV's longest-running and most-watched primetime reality series will stay on the air through May 2006.

I always wanted to see a Survivor where there were no tribes. Each person was left to themselves and they only met during challenges and TC. No Tribes only 1 against 15 or 17 or now it seems to be 19.

Lady ... I picked up that quote over at the Survivor Sucks website. Here's the link to the quote. http://p085.ezboard.com/fsurvivorsucksfrm19.showMessage?topicID=2407.topic I went to Variety.com and under search typed in Survivor and they do show the start of the article, but you have to register to read the rest of it. I didn't want to register, but you can check it out. I also saw an article at SurvivorFever.net, so I'm going to go cut and paste that one into a separate post. Be right back!!!

Jeff Probst Admits to Survivor Romance People Magazine 12.15.05 Jeff Probst has had many adventures as host of Survivor, such as hacking out of the Vanuatu brush, skydiving over the California desert and zooming into this season's finale on a big hog (motorcycle, that is). So who knew the biggest adventure for Probst would be embracing a new love? Probst, 43, and Survivor: Vanuatu's fifth finalist, Julie Berry, who turned 24 Wednesday, are a couple. "Nobody is more surprised than me that I could find my love affair on a show that I host," Probst tells PEOPLE, "but the truth is when something like this gets dropped in your lap, you don't look at how it's wrapped, you don't look at how it's being delivered. You just put your arms around it and you hold on because this is my love affair and there's no question in my mind about it." Rumors of a relationship started among viewers who noticed Berry sporting a dabbed-on heart tattoo with "Jeff" scrawled on it during one episode. "That was just harmless fun," Berry told the Portland Press Herald. Probst concurs. "The funny thing was there was this perception we were flirting on the show," he says, "and that was actually just fun stuff on the show. I didn't really talk to Julie until long after the show was over." After production on Vanuatu wrapped over the summer, Probst says he e-mailed Berry just to say hello. "Once we started spending some time together, I didn't have any doubt. I didn't have any doubt and all the questions about how you meet and any potential obstacles, they fade away like an old dry leaf." Happily, Probst adds, "I'm in love. I'm with her. I'm with her family, and there ain't no turning back. When you find it, you know and now I get it. The funniest thing is people used to always say, 'you'll know,' and I'd think, 'Oh, shut it! Let me tell ya, I've been around long enough, I don't know.' And then suddenly one day, I knew. Now I am one of those irritating people that is now saying, 'you'll know.'" Berry, a youth mentor from Gorham, Maine, is moving to California to pursue her master's degree in family counseling. Probst is in Los Angeles, having returned from shooting the 10th season of the series, Survivor: Palau. Probst was married to psychotherapist Shelley Wright from 1996 until 2001.

Cut and Paster from SurvivorFever.Net 20 New Castaways Will Be Abandoned A group of new castaways will travel to the most stunning location yet, the islands and waters of Palau, a place that some have called the Eighth Natural Wonder of the World. A tropical setting of stunning islands. Dense jungles and an underwater world beyond belief. It was in this part of the world that war raged in the 1940s. Today the remains and wreckage of the war haunt these waters and jungles like ghosts of a violent past. An eerie mix of man's explosive history and nature's power to reclaim. It is here that 20 new castaways will be abandoned. From the beginning the game will be changed in a dramatic way. Everything the Survivors have come to expect will be wiped in the first 10 minutes. Who will outwit, outplay and outlast all the others to become the sole Survivor? The adventure begins with the premiere of Survivor: Palau.
