So now we know that TWENTY people are going ot start, but things will happen in the first 10 minutes to change everything....so what do you think is going to happen? Here's some ideas...... -an immediate 20 person challenge, and the bottom 2 men and 2 women are gone. -They split up into 5 groups of 4, spend the day together, THEN have a challenge. Top 2 groups have an immediate TC, and vote off one of the other 3 groups-then those two groups are integrated into the other 2 groups, and you have 2 tribes of 8. -An immediate TC after the people have some time to get to know each other...4 people are voted out. Because I don't know how you could do 20 people in 13 eps without paring it down really quickly....

I was listening closely last night to Jeff Probst announce about Survivor 10, but I didn't hear him said when it would premiere. Did anybody hear what the date was?

We're not sure.....likely not until February, but perhaps not until late Feb. or even March. They have a new reality show called "Wickedly Perfect" starting in that timeslot on 1/6, so if it does well, they may wait until later on to start it.

I think I read somewhere of a March release. But can't remember where. They've done the "everything will change in the first ten minutes" stuff before, but really never changed things enough to really shake it up. It always ends up with the same basic formula. Even going males vs females ends up with the same formulas of alliances and Pagonging. Not so much speculation, but a wish list: I've always wished they'd do something like all live together, then draw for what team you'd play on for each challenge (each challenge being different teams). But when a large group of people live together, you still end up with a numbers game in alliance vs alliance. So, how about this.... Go with 10 pairs of one man, one woman. Draw names to pair them up, or have a contest where the winners chose their partner or something. Each pair then goes off to live alone, supporting each other in shelter, food, etc. Maybe at IC, the first place pair get immunity, and at TC a pair gets booted? Then, when its whittled down to 16, have a reward challenge. The "reward" for the winning pair is.....to chose tribes! They are split up, and each has to chose to make up the tribes with equal men/women. One would think that the winning pair had bonded well enough to be winning that challenge to start with, since people that don't get along don't generally compete together very well. So here they are having bonded, and now they have to build a tribe to compete against the other one with. I may be back to change my thoughts. Just thinking off the top of my head right now!

How about the winning tribe votes someone off losing tribe?? alliances would be out the door! I heard JP say it started in Feb, it usually starts in Feb sweeps and end in May sweeps

That's what I've been thinking for a while too, Pamy. I'd love to see both tribes live as one tribe on the beach, but still have two separate tribes for challenges and reward. That way, two great things happen: 1, you get to know the people on both teams, so you have to watch what you say and who you say it to BEFORE getting to the merge, and 2, the numbers game gets all mixed up... just because you're in a great alliance with someone and you know your safe in YOUR tribe, doesn't mean that the other tribe likes you enough to keep you around. Please, CBS, find a way to make this show EXCITING again.

they explained on the reunion show that palau has many military craft in the waters, and that it was a major scene of military forces in WW2 between japan and the US. that's all it means.

The sunken military ships is what has created such diverse reefs and incredible SCUBA diving in the Palau area. Aggressor Paulu: http://www.aggressor.com/subpage.php?d=11 'squeek'

We don't know for sure, it's all speculation. The article said that CBS won't comment. That's why I wrote supposedly.

i have two questions. first of all, does anyone remember where survivor thailand was filmed? i'm thinking its where the tsunami hit. it sure sounds like it could have been. also, i am not sure if and when the new survivor has been been filmed--it might have already been filmed, or will be. i wonder if this will impact it. something tells me that jeff probst will be encouraging people to donate money to help with the relief efforts. its so scarey.

My dad was stationed on Truk Island during WWII, which is near the Palau area. He said it was absolutely breathtaking and was an amazing place for a farm boy from east Texas to spend some time. It is very remote (especially in 1945) and indeed covered with wreckage from the battles. For instance, the largest aircraft carrier built by the Japanese (I think it is called the Yamoto) was sunk in Truk Harbor.

Palau was not hit by the tsunamis. Palau is in the Western Pacific Ocean, not the Indian Ocean. And yes, they've completed shooting already.

I found pics and bios of the new survivors at The Reality TV Calendar. The CBS site for Survivor: Palau is up but it doesn't have any contestant info yet. But looking at the layout of the CBS page, I would believe that those buffs are the real deal.

Shelb724, I'm sure that the location where Survivor Thailand was filmed was hit. In my very limited time, I have not been able to find out what damage may have occurred there. The island of Tarutao, where Survivor was filmed, is off the west coast of southern Thailand very close to Malaysia. The Tarutao Marine National Park is on the west coast of that small island. Sook Jai camp was at the northern end of the west coast of the island, Tribal Council and Chuay Gahn camp were on the east coast of that island. Thank God that this Survivor was not being filmed when the quake/tsunami hit. cbs.com has info on survivor thailand. clickthai.de/map/ has a clickable map of thailand.

In the past, CBS has used the Superbowl as a lead in to a new Survivor. The Superbowl is February 6th, but it is on FOX this year. I would think CBS will not want to go up against the Superbowl, so that day is probably out. With no big lead-in, the show will probably start on the regular Thursday night.

well they revealed one twist.....there won't be any "extra" episodes, because they'll have 17 players at the end of the first episode. Yep, THREE people gone in the first ep.

The most interesting person I've read about so far is the 39 year old, drop dead gorgeous, Vegas Showgirl.
