Since Cnd reposted my post at AF (didn't even realize that discussion had switched over there, or partly), I'll repost one she posted there, here.

Question -- if 16 Survivors LOSE and are sent to Exile Island, does that mean F2 are two MORE contestants (because they technically don't lose until the finale)??? Just wondering -- and am totally geeked! We caught the commercial on the Survivor night tonight on ONL, and now can hardly wait!

I caught that, too, Teach. And wondered what that meant, since they've said there are 16 contestants but then they say 16 are exiled. Maybe it means that the get to F2 differently this time?

I saw that Survivor starts Feb 2nd and it will be made up of 4 teams 2 groups of men, young and old, and 2 groups of women young and old. It will be men against women It should really be interesting..

Scroll up and I transcribed the actual words (and I saw the promo twice and checked my wording.)

I didn't get that all 16 necessarily lose. but that those who DO lose go to Exile Island.. maybe the team(s) who lose go there to decide who is voted out?

The 16 Castaways was on one screen flash, the LOSE on the next, so it could be 16 or it could be just saying -- and this is how I heard it.

16 Castaways!

Then.. Lose, and those who lose will have to face Exile Island..

Here's the wording:

The Ultimate Survivor
(CBS spinning logo that turns into a skull)
Is About to Begin
(we see a snake)
(explosion)
Four Tribes
(bunch of skulls as background)

(explosion)

Young
vs
Old


(Masks)

Men
vs
Women


(men's eyes, women's eyes)
(Explosion)


(the)
WILDEST
Challenges Ever

(a foot, head, in water)

16 Castaways

LOSE


and those who LOSE

will have to

FACE
(mask)

EXILE ISLAND

(small rock outcrop in ocean)

If you've ever
(mask, snake shots)
watched Survivor,
This is the one you've
got to see
from the very start

Survivor, Exile Island

Begins Thursday, February 2nd
only on CBS!

I looked around a minute, and then I realized that this is the open thread. Under the archive list at the top of the page it kind of threw me for a second. I thought that this thread was closed, and since the last post was on Saturday, maybe other people think the same thing.

Anyway, I'm so excited about the new season starting soon. The last season was so harsh, I hope they don't make them endure such hardship right off the bat this time. That first hike just about killed all those alpha males.

What do you think about the old vs young, and men vs women? I think that putting the older people in separate tribes will improve their chances of sticking around, if not because of physical capabilities, then because of interpersonal skills. Many young people resent the "listen up junior" attitude of many older men, and the "because I'm your mother, that's why!" attitude of many older women. The condecending bossy crap just won't keep you around very long. An older person can't be young, but they can be respectful to the young. I work with a guy who is 56, and he will actually say "Listen up junior!" Then he is surprised and offended when they call him grandpa.

Now don't get me wrong, I also think that the younger people need to cut the crap they pull in relation to the older people on the show, but as a person in my 40s, I feel that I have the right to say something about many of the older people's deplorable behavior. BB is a prime example of bad behavior. We get to a certain age and then we realize that there is a lot of garbage we have put up with that we just don't have to deal with anymore. Unfortunately in a society driven game like this, you have to be ready to deal with it again and smile and wait for your opportunity to hand them their head on a platter.

I think the people who are able to bridge the age and gender gaps are the ones who are much better survivors.

I liked the last survivor more than I thought I did for a couple of reasons. The older people weren't picked off because they were old. The women weren't picked off because they were women, and the men weren't picked off because they were men. People were sent home because they were obnoxious, because they were threats, because they were crazy, because they were hurt, because they were poor strategists, and because someone wanted to win the million. There were a couple of times this past season where I actually cheered and I hope this one will make me cheer too.

Switch it up! Bring it on! I'm ready for the tribe to speak!

I guess after CBS announces the cast and puts up the bios on their web site. According to the CBS Early Show web site, the cast will be introduced on Monday, Jan 9.

Wow, how sad about the lady from WI (Tina, I think) whose only child (age 16) was killed in an auto accident one week before she left for Survivor. How heartbreaking.

Just to be clear, it was one week before Tina was scheduled to go to Guatemala (the previous Survivor) so she dropped out and then reapplied for Panama. I believe Amy was her replacement (Amy was supposed to be on Big Brother).

I couldn't get the link to work for me - whimpy webtv here! - so I will be waiting anxiously for the profiles to be posted in a Clubhouse thread!

I don't think Amy would have lasted any longer on BB than she did on Survivor!

Ok so I wasn't going to watch. But after reading through some of the bios on the CBS site I was thinking these are some interesting people and very accomplished, I might watch a little bit. Then I see that there is the "hometown" person to root for. I'm like 5 minutes away from Elizabethton TN Melinda's hometown. Based on first impressions not sure good she'll do but I will for sure be watching now, plus there is some really nice guys to look at. I'm liking the karate instructor. Hes nice looking for an older guy.

Yes. As someone else noted in another forum, hopefully no one will think that she's pulling a Johnny Fairplay if the subject comes up during the game.

NEW YORK (AP) - The next cast of CBS'"Survivor" will include a retired astronaut who flew in space three times, twice on the space shuttle Discovery.

The 12th version of the popular game, this time set in Panama, will feature tribes briefly separated by age and an exile where a contestant can profit after stomaching some time alone.

Dan Barry, a 52-year-old ex-astronaut from S. Hadley, Mass., is among the 16 cast members. Barry last flew in space in 2001, and he has four space walks to his name. A yoga instructor, nurse, engineer, lawyer, social worker and logging sports performer are among his competitors.

On "Survivor: Panama - Exile Island," at least one cast member each episode will be sent alone to a separate island miles from the others. Hidden on the island, however, will be an immunity idol.

The next "Survivor" edition begins on CBS Feb. 2.
