I am into genealogy and on one of the private family sites that I belong to, someone posted yesterday that her nephew, Aaron, just returned from China where he was a contestant on Survivor. Lainee is begging for spoilers but so far haven't gotten any off of her! LOL

Lainee! here's one Aaron:

Aaron Reisberger
32
Venice, CA
.... he was in a short film (very briefly), and most recently worked as a manager at a wine bar/ restaurant.

You can go read the contestants spoilers on:

I usually rather not get involved with game spoilers, but this time I'm in it so deep ...

Well, Lainee. Survivors is only on Thursdays in the Fall. (we think it'll start Sept. 14th this year.) No Life Feeds, not really busy here. For your distant relative you could make the time. C'mon!!!

Could you at least ask her if he lost an incredible amount of way, or did he get a free trip off laying around the pool or saw the Great Wall, maybe? :-) At least ask if he'd seen a lot of China? Beijing, where they're on the count down to Olympics 2008? Or ShangHai, checked and see if it's still the most modern city in China? Clay soldiers or Caves of Buddhas? Just say Chy is so jealous and wish she could travel China on other's dime ~~ Can't afford anything like that on a Music Minister's pay!

As you could tell from all my links, I've already got the info I was digging for. We know exactly where they were shooting the whole deal. Production office, Marine, Cafeteria even the Laudry place and the vans to ship the Dream Team members in.... I won't have done all these work(translating and digging) had it not been a season at China!!

MB already told us there's no Exile Island, 16 castaways, and the fact that this season will be the closest to the original season ... I'm already happy.
Last year I avoided Ginger's spoiler of games the whole season, so I totally understand if you don't want to know anything until show time.

Chy...I can't remember which season I started watching Survivor, but I think it was 4...Marquesas. But I know I was definitely there for Thailand! LOL I don't know what the original format was all about.

Lainee, I watched from the beginning. But some seasons didn't hold my interest for the duration(Outback? Africa?).

I'm not 100% sure, but there will always be some one who knows better/more to help us out in this department. I think the Original Format means 1) Sixteen strangers ~ rather than All Stars, 18 or 20 castaways, 2) Two tribes ~ none of that ghost tribe or four tribes with different skin colors ... 3) No Exile Island ~ some of us don't really mind that one, but it wont be in S: China. 4) No one will come back after being sent off ~ Let's hope that one stays. and 5) The original one did not have mini immunity idol. But they will still have that twist this season. We're wondering how that'll work since they've been giving out hints on the Exile Island only in the past.

Any posters with better or more on this subject is welcomed to share them. You will find out all about it in a couple weeks I'm sure.

The cast announcement is coming soon, we think within the next week or ten days.

Here's a link to the official site. Nothing much the last time I was there, but they're supposed to add stuff on as it draws closer to the premier!

Here's how the theme might sound like:

I can't make out any words yet, but the Bamboo flute is awful cherry! Love it!

I usually don't mind the different formats as much as I mind some of the cast. Same with BB...don't mind the twists as much as I mind the people cast in the twists! :-)

Pssst, Chy, I've been looking for a personal favour (translation) over in the Tattoos thread. Mind to stop by and do a girl a favour? I hope you're able to read the characters I'm looking to be translated, you're the only one here I can think of who might be able to help... TIA!!

OMG... I love Jean-Robert Bellande!!! I can't wait to see if he fesses up that he's a professional poker player or if he lies about what he does so others will not think he doesn't need the money.

Could someone please teach me how to post images here?

Again, I'm not going to bother to post things you could find with TV GUIDE Site. I have background things, like where they had the dragon & tiger custom made for the first Ep.!
Plus lots, lots more when my other spoiling friends okay them to be posted!

Chy -- save the pictures to your computer. Make sure none of them are larger than 60 kb (or resize to get them to that size).

Next, type your message. Click on "upload Attachment." Use the "browse" button to find your picture. Click OK (and then click "close" when it shows up). It will show up as a link number on your post, but if you preview it first, the picture will appear. If it's too large, the preview will tell you that, too, so you can resize it down.

Hope that helps. You can find the more "technical" explanation under the "Help" button at the top of the page, too.

Ack -- sorry, no game spoilers for me. :-) (At least about specific challenges, etc.). I don't mind knowing locations and contestants, but that's where I stop.

It did look like you uploaded a pix on that site w/no problem, though! You'll find this it's easy here, too. :-)

This one doesn't have game spoilers. (Actually, no game spoilers out just yet except some early boots in other threads which was then denied by our Chinese spies. :-) )
I don't have any problems posting pictures there since day one. After they went Yuku Yoko, it took me one minute to figure out. But here, I've tried twice already, always said it's too big even though I sized it down to avatar size!

Scroll down to the TC, castaways paying respects to Buddha and my lion avatar.;)

Oh-Lai---nee---
realitytvworld.com has video of contestants. Aaron is the last, listed as Surfing Instructor. There's nothing he won't do to win ...

Don't forget James!
The 20 yo guy looks like he has game. I think he calls himself Frostie(sp?), I'd like to know how he got that ...

Even if you don't like game spoilers, follow my August 20, 2007 - 9:27 pm link, scroll down real fast, find my Lion custom avatar and see the letter from SEG to the artist who made their customs. those two posts of mine just talk about the tradition of Dragon tease and all.

Well, here's hoping my hometown boy - Erik Huffman - does better on this show than my last homie on Design Star. I'll bet he isn't half as cute as Sparkle Josh though!

Bo was also from Lafayette, LA!

Just thought about something after noticing the empty Spoilers area:
Are all these things I talk about spoilers or not?
I thought since all these are out in the open(Internet or news), it's safe to do it here. But the Dragon tease stuff, I'm not sure if all wants to know. Even though we'd posted the letter from SEG to the artist who made the custom since late June, early July.
