This is the thread where we put spoilers that relate to the whole season and not just a specific episode. If you only want to know about the next episode, don't read this thread. Things like the Final Two/Three might be here......or other things you don't care to know in advance!

I loved the link for the last one, with Yasmin and the crabs. That was soooo funny. I guess we will never know what the remark about the shoes meant, unless it comes up in interviews with Shambo once she gets booted. Thanks Bis!!!

Ging, I am not sure either but the spoiler said Jas left Shambo her HIGH TOPS, which are tennis shoes not her HIGH HEELS. So carry on.

Write-Up about Betsy from the Foa Foa tribe in a local newspaper of her hometown: ********************************** NORTHFIELD — Local "Survivor" fans were treated to a visit recently from Betsy Bolan, who spilled behind-the-scenes secrets about her time as a castaway on the currently-airing "Survivor: Samoa." Bolan, a part-time Campton police officer and mother of four, visited the Pines Community Center in Northfield in support of the Youth Assistance Program of Northfield, Tilton and Sanbornton. Though admission was free, donations were accepted. Bolan said she understood how important it was for kids to have places like the Pines. "It was a rough and rocky road growing up," she said. After being voted out two episodes in, many might think Bolan traveled a similar road on "Survivor: Samoa." Bolan, however, recalls her time there as the trip of a lifetime. "I was a huge fan for years and years and years," said Bolan, who applied 13 times over six years before making it onto the show. "When my youngest was 2, I was thinking, I need a vacation. It sounded perfect to me, because there was no laundry involved." Bolan was chosen once before to interview in Boston, based on the application she submitted online. After that interview, though, she never heard back. This time, she got a call and was flown to Los Angeles for a week, where she interviewed with Jeff Probst. She was contacted three weeks later and told she had made the final cut. "I couldn't tell anyone I was going," said Bolan, but she had to tell Campton selectmen to get the time off from her job, so the news was in the meeting minutes. "The whole town knew." Bolan flew to LA, then took a 15-hour flight to Samoa. The contestants arrived a week before the game started and weren't allowed to communicate, for fear they would form alliances. They received a rulebook and an "Outdoor Survival Guide" to read prior to the game. One suggestion read: "There are nesting birds in some of the trees. They roost mostly at night. Find them. Hit them with a stick. Pluck them, gut them, and cook them on a spit." After a week had passed, they were given clothes and told it was press day. Instead, they wound up meeting with Probst and Producer Mark Burnett for a rundown of the rules and a "don't quit" pep talk. The contestants then rode together on a canvas-covered truck, still without talking, until they reached a place where their canoes were set up. They silently canoed to shore, where Probst and "tons and tons of cameras" were waiting. "That's when it hit me," Bolan said of realizing she was actually on "Survivor." A few facts that Bolan learned about the show during her six days on the island: the producers pre-pick the tribes; nothing is staged; each tribal council actually lasts about an hour an a half; Probst is really as "genuine, nice, funny (and) sincere" as he seems; and cameramen are almost always less than three feet away from you. "It's scary being on these shows, because you don't know how they're going to edit you," Bolan said. "My strategy was just work hard, just be useful at camp." The nights were cold (Bolan's "spooning buddy" was Natalie), the challenges were hard, and the food was not plentiful, Bolan said. Still, eating coconut crabs was a treat for her. "That was my dream, 'cause I was so sick of chicken nuggets and pizza," she said. Bolan brought a map of her Foa Foa tribe camp and one of the "tree mails" the tribe received. She also passed around a canteen she brought home from the show, one of several that fellow Foa Foa tribe member "Evil Russell" dumped water out of in an attempt to rile his tribe mates. Bolan said she didn't know he'd done that until she watched the show at home along with the rest of the country. "He was just a little leprechaun type guy," she said. "I just knew he was a snake." Unfortunately for Bolan, that knowledge is what sent her packing so early, as Russell didn't like that she was on to him and convinced the tribe to vote for her. "He is the only person in my whole life that I couldn't look at," she said. "I still should be on there. It kills me." It wasn't all bad after getting voted off though, Bolan said; instead of roughing the cold, rainy nights, castaways were sent to a Ponderosa, where they ate good food and watched movies. Once 10 people were voted off, that group was sent to Fiji so the next group of castaways who would make up the jury could stay at the Ponderosa. Bolan and her nine fellow Survivors stayed in five-star hotels in Fiji for five weeks. "It was wonderful," she said. "It was a vacation of a lifetime. I'll never be treated that well again." Bolan said she gained back the 10 pounds she lost in Samoa while dining in Fiji. Once the show wrapped, 39 days after it had started, Bolan and her castmates flew home. "That was the best part," Bolan said. "Coming home." Bolan's husband and children met her at the airport in July, after eight weeks without contact. For now, Bolan is taking "a little vacation" from her police career, though not because of the extra income she earned while on the show – the first person voted off gets $2,500, and it goes up incrementally from there. Bolan and her family will fly out to LA for the reunion show Dec. 20. So who is Bolan rooting for? "Shambo I love," Bolan said. "She really does have a good heart." Bolan said she and Shambo were the only ones on the show who didn't know the casting director or otherwise have an "in."

Someone at Survivor Sucks had wondered ...... Why Jaison would be the first to leave from the Foa Foas, when the time comes. And Missyae said: missyae: 12/04/09 12:19 PM It is really pretty simple why Jaison would leave first from the original Foas. Going all the way back to his demanding that Ben must go. Someone did not really like that and has not forgotten.

Latest (and possibly final) spoiler from Missyae: ************************* I told you Dave was first to go tonight. I will tell you that Monica is the next to go after Dave. Then after Monica - Shambo leaves. Final 5 are the original 4 Foas and Brett. Jaison is the first to leave on finale night leaving Mick - Natalie - Russell and Brett. Brett leaves in 4th place leaving the final 3 as I said long ago of Mick - Natalie - Russell. Merry Christmas!

So, Brett must win immunity forcing them to vote off Jaison.

He might even win a couple of them.......and that's why Shambo goes, too. I can't see Russell booting Shambo who has helped him in the past to save Brett who has definitely been Galu all along.

Cut and pasted from 3 of the latest posts over at Survivor Sucks by spoiler Missyae: ******************************* I think 1 of the 3 finalists is going to blow the jury away with a great speech and it wont be Russell. I told you what his strategy will likely be - that of a boxer like Mike Tyson - I knocked you out - I am better than you - I deserve to win. Outwit Outplay - anything I could say about the jury votes would actually just be speculation wouldnt it? I mean - YES - some of them do talk to each other - heck Mick - Brett - Dave - and John have been out eating together in California lately and are still great friends. However - whats to say they might be telling a little white lie about their vote and just dont want to hurt each others feelings yet? I am not 100% positive about this but I was told Natalie is still not working. Another player told her not to worry about it because Russell won her a million dollars. Now is that true? I have no idea - I just know its been said. Is it speculation on that persons part? Probably. I have been told Laura and Brett did know each other pre-show and went to church together and probably knew Dave too. Does that mean they vote together? Maybe - maybe not. I have read on here Russell gets no votes and I have heard he quite possibly gets John - Dave - Sham - and Erik. Again - all of that is just speculation though. I do not know a tally right now. Someone asked was it Sham or Jaison next. It is Shambo followed by Jaison and then Brett. I think Dave's interviews are interesting about Mick not playing to win. Would he perceive Natalie as playing to win? I wonder what Brett will have to say to the jury once he arrives there and will it make any difference? Also given that Mick will be in the final 3 and he and Jaison have seemingly been plotting together will Mick get his vote or will Jaison go with the player he said "I am starting to love that guy?" I still think it might be an interesting vote. I wonder if they could not vote for themselves who would Natalie - Russell - and Mick vote for? Betcha Russell would vote for Natalie and Natalie would vote for Russell.

It's a funny thing about the spoilers this season. I'm a sucker for the spoilers. If they are out there, I can't help myself from reading them. That said, this is the one season that without spoilers there is no way I would have predicted in any way the final three that we are going to end up with. Galu screwed themselves the minute they voted out Erik, and I can't imagine why Dave is so hellbent on taking credit for that ouster since he essentially screwed himself and everyone else on his team with that move. On a different note, I predict Shambo's transition to Ponderosa will be a lot like when Kenny and Chrystal hit Ponderosa in the Gabon season and were met with the silent treatment from Corrinne and the rest of the sore losers. I suspect John at least, and perhaps Erik also, will welcome Shambo, but I can see Dave, Laura and even Kelly giving her the cold shoulder. Will be interesting to see how it all actually plays out. I think this is actually a pretty bitter jury this season and I think that will indeed affect the final vote, particularly if Russell shoves their noses in his self-perceived greatness. I'm a Russell fan, however, the jury probably won't like hearing it. Case in point is Dave. In his recent in-game confessionals he has praised Russell and ditto'd Russell's comments about Russell being "made to play this game." But in his post-game interviews he has made a point of downplaying Russell's gameplay. A few other random thoughts: Brett has been an interesting player. We've seen so little of Brett (probably one of the most likeable players ever) throughout the season, yet every ousted Galu has stated post-game that they were aligned with Brett. It will be interesting to see what light they shed on that (or not) at the reunion. I do wish there were a way we could have a 2 hour reunion show this season as this one more than most leaves a lot of unanswered questions to be sorted out post-game. I hope Shambo brings a big can of whoop ass to the reunion. I wouldn't want to be stranded on an island for a month with her either, but from what I have seen she does not deserve the nastiness she has received from the other Galus. I hope she gives them all a big dose when she has her chance to do so. Knowing (as we have for a while now) that Russell, Natalie and Mick make the final 3, does anyone want to predict how the final votes will fall? Should we do that in this thread or start a new one for that purpose? Ginger? So glad we're nearing the season end. This has been another great season, and as always, this board and the community here only add to the fun. While I tend to roam the web for spoilers, I do appreciate Ginger consolidating so many spoilers here, so a special thank you to Ginger this season.

Jezz ... thank you ... and I think a separate thread for guessing how the final 3 votes will fall. I'll go get it started and you can jump in and maybe others will want to have fun with it. It does have to stay in the spoiling section since others may not want to know the Final 3.

Note to posters in the other thread - be sure to post some gibberish or at least a lead-in to your votes, else your choices will show up in New Messages, and people will get pissy. IF people here got pissy, which they do not.
