saggkl, there is one setup on the animal farm if you care to join us. it is a lot different than the one on this side of the fence. but here you need to click on survivor panama and there is a link for the game located there.

yes, i understood jeff to say that a person could be voted out and then pull out the II found on exile island. i would guess the person with the next highest amounts of votes would then be out (?) as tony said in an above post. sounds new and adds some excitement to the game, especially if they don't show us the person has found it! remember when gary had it and brought it out at tribal council? of course, that was before a vote took place. i think this will make it more exciting. so there could actually be two immunities. one who wins it and one who maybe finds the idol on exile island.

Guess I'll set the VCR for 7 then, as I don't get home from class until about 20 after 7. I am for sure not missing this show!!

The below comment is not mine...just c & p'd this: (Interesting comment about Andrew Savage in the 3rd paragraph, considering that there were rumors that Savage was asked to host if Jeff didn't return) http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271%7C99834%7C1%7C,00.html 'Survivor' Host Probst Recharged for 'Exile Island' By Rick Porter Jeff Probst went into the filming of "Survivor: Panama -- Exile Island" knowing it could be the last time he'd be telling people that "The tribe has spoken." He was in the final months of a six-year contract he had to host the show, and he'd told reporters last fall that he was thinking about leaving the show when his deal expired. So he decided that for the 12th edition of CBS' popular competition, he'd "just go in and see how it feels." "It felt incredible," he says now. "I called [friend and former 'Survivor' player Andrew] Savage while I was out there and said, 'You know, I'm having more fun than I've ever had, and I think part of the reason is that it's on my terms.' I looked around -- I have so many friends, we have an incredible show. And I know I don't have a better job out there for me, so I signed back on." Another reason for Probst's rejuvenation, the host says, was the fact that he had several people to root for this time around. When "Exile Island" premieres Thursday (Feb. 2), he thinks viewers will have several favorites -- including Shane Powers, a club promoter who used the game to kick his three-pack-a-day smoking habit, and Cirie Fields, a nurse whom Probst describes as a "couch potato" and "the least likely person you'd ever expect to see make it on this show." "This group of people was such a breath of fresh air," he says. "This group of people really wanted to play 'Survivor,' and that's different. They didn't come out grunting and groaning and fighting and bitching and moaning. They came out and said, What a great experience. And you'll see that on the show." Then there's the major twist to the game itself: In every episode, at least one person will be sent away from his or her tribemates to spend time alone on "Exile Island," meaning they'll be out of the loop on any gamesmanship that takes place during their time. There's also no food, shelter or potable water, but there is a hidden immunity idol that provides an even bigger twist: It can be used at any time -- even after a tribal council vote. "Everyone's figuring out strategies to ensure that this [group of] four goes this far," Probst says. "But now, what if I have the idol and I don't tell you, and you all vote for me? All you guys vote for me, and I cast my single vote for you. [If] I have the idol, you're the one who has to go home. That will screw your game up." And apparently it did, to the point where one castaway protested: "Someone said to me at tribal council, 'We think this has just changed the game too much,'" Probst says. "I cracked up. That's definitely a sign it's working."

I am amazed that Jeff thinks the viewers will like Shane! I would guess just the opposite - but maybe it's just 'cause I don't like him from what I saw on the TC Guide preview!!

Kidd Kraddick, a DJ here in Dallas, talked to Jeff Probst on the phone this morning. I'll try to recount what I can remember, some of which rehashes what's been posted above. Jeff said that where the folks in Guatemala didn't seem to be having any fun and it was hard to watch, this season the survivors have fun and really enjoy the experience. One of the survivors is a 20-year smoker with a 3-pack-a-day habit who quits cold turkey on Day 1. Jeff said it's interesting to see how he handles withdrawal. Kidd asked him if there was anyone that shouldn't have been there and Jeff said there is one person who has a really hard time at one point and he was even wondering if he/she shouldn't just quit. As for Exile Island, there is a hidden immunity idol the contestants will be looking for so while it is bad that they have been voted to the island, there is a possibility for a good outcome. Kidd also asked him about Richard Hatch. Jeff said that while he didn't know him that well and the law is the law, it seemed strange that Richard will be in prison for 4 years for bilking the IRS while Martha Stewart only served 6 months for allegedly bilking people of millions.

NT, I heard that interview with Kidd this morning. Jeff also said he asked a lawyer friend what kind of defense does someone have to not pay their taxes and the lawyer said there was none. If you don't pay your taxes, you go to jail. The lawyer-friend also said you are better off not filing a return because you can only be charged with "failure to file" as opposed to not paying or filing a fraudulent return. Personally, I wouldn't recommend either.

how could richard not pay taxes on the million when the whole world knew he won it?! what a numbnutz... i could see forgetting my savings account that made 43 cents in interest over a year, but a million bucks?! and back to the game, so whoever might find the idol and have been voted off, not only gets to pull the idol out to save him/herself, but they get to pick someone to go? i thought it would be the person with the next most votes! i'd be spending a lot of time in exile island. it'd be the only way i could hope to not be voted off...since i'm old, don't have a swimsuit model body, and am afraid of spiders!

frappin'crap, this is on the same time as 'dancing with the stars', isn't it? and we have only one tv now and no recording devices. well, at least they show recraps on friday of thursday's dancing. poor dd is taking 2 college courses and her sociology one is from 7-10 on thursdays...i can't even tape this for her. i'll email dh and see if he can figure out how to DVR. i know i have trouble doing that at the new house; i thought you could DVR and watch something else at the same time, but if i am DVRing something and it starts while i am watching something else, the tv will come up with a choice. i can continue to tape and the tv changes to that taping channel...or, i have to 'cancel' the taping, to continue with the other program. what good is that, with all the good shows on at the same time?! and last week, i DVR'd for 4 shows in a row, same channel. and the first, third and fourth shows all taped for their 30 minutes, but the second show (rodney) only taped for 1 minute. huh? it also screwed up and only taped 'earl' for 4 minutes. i have missed that show for 3 weeks!

This may be a stupid question, but when people are sent off "alone" and we are seeing what is going on, is the camera man real far away and filming or are cameras left there to film??

NT... I got to my office right at the end of Jeff's interview on Kidd Kraddock so I don't know if Shannon drank the tears. Tabsters... Jeff said on Kidd Kraddock this morning that if someone has the Exile Immunity Idol - he/she doesn't have to pull it out until all the votes have been cast. If the person with the most votes has the Exile Idol, the person with the second most votes goes home. Secrey - Jeff said on Kidd Kraddock this morning that there is a cameraman on Exile Island but, of course, they can't chat with the Lone Survivor. Sheeeeshhhh... you people really need to listen to Kidd Kraddock in the morning.

I've been listening to Kidd for about 25 years now. I've been wondering about the proximity of the cameras for a long time now myself.
