To be safe, I want to ask first!
Should the map of the location be classified as spoiler or not?


I know where Loser Lodge is on the tourists map. In a couple weeks when they show the Tribal Council, maybe I could pin point where that is also. Not sure people here are interested. Or do you guys think it's too much spoiling?

This group we have only set out to spoil the location. But things fell on our laps...

Pamy we have done a pool. Each week your survivor stays you get $1, if you survivor wins immunity you win extra, at the end 1st, 2nd, and 3rd win left over money. We also had 1st person to lose gets $5, and extras of 1st naked, 1st kiss. We pick random names I had Chris the season he won and it made it a lot of fun to watch but I have also had the 2nd person voted off but still had fun watching and hating someone but wanted them to stay on so a friend could win or even I could win some extra weeks.

I'm not too clear about the rules of spoilers.
This whole week, as a warm up to the premiere, CBS is releasing clips of all things Survivor. At least one a day.

This is a 2;37 bit of behind the scene. From tvguide. They're ready to take part of a ceremony in the temple. JP predicts this to be the best Survivor season!

Wait! I goofed. I'll try to get a good link later. But TVGuide .com has a bunch of goodies!

Again, these are behind the scene, or back ground ones. One of the JP took the camera himself and visited/interviewed people in each area. I don't think they are spoilers since they pop up on your tv now and then!

BTW, last night during BB8, for the first time I got proof: Jean-Robert(the poker player) had a one liner- I speak Mandarin! ~~ I've been telling all that he went to HS in Taiwan when his folks were Missionaries there. Since those missions tend to go deep in the rural area, I wasn't sure if Bobby did learn Mandarin(which is the official spoken Chinese in most lands occupied by Chinese) or Taiwanese-the dialect!

CBS is releasing previews on their innertube, tvguide and Youtube! As someone said, ...can't beat them, join them! ... That's great! We won't have to worry about things on Youtube any longer??

Previews from innertube, tvguide &/o youtube.

If you think they are spoilers, don't click the link. :-) Fair warning?? :-)

ETA: Don't know why it's not a link.
Copy & Paste worked for me though.

Danny is getting married and expecting!
Ares is still doing Yoga, both teaching and learning, not much dating(how could that be?)...
Yul at Concord for Yul's day! Doing something about Asian Americans with CNN....

Preview before those though..

This one will give you a sneak peek at the first Challenge. Art dept and some fields. After Ashley, James and Denise.(James has been digging graves since 10 y.o.! He loves tattoo, loves petite girls and loves Asian, he would like some romance, haha!)

BTW, Denise, Leslie, David, Todd and(can't remember if I'd drop any body) are all fans of the show and have been applying for more than a year-Leslie said since season Three!! Good luck to them!!

My only word about it is that host(Earl Cole?) is teaching you all bad Chinese! (JP was bad too in another.) I'm not picky, just don't want to hear many Americans thinking they're saying Thank you but sounding like a toddler looking for his shoes! :-) Shie Shie said downwards would be Thank you, not the pitch that host used, heheheh!

Oh, Yeah, I'm pretty sure PG said she recognized Ashley and Booby from TV! She said she will use it to her advantage. She said it in one of those vids. Try the one I posted @ 10:19 last night. It was so very late after a long week though, I could be wrong. Please let me know if that's the case, TIA!

I might have stuck it in the other thread?

Pamy & Gallaleo: You guys are so lucky, you could even have enough people watching together to do a pool?

I can't even find a single soul in RL to talk about it! I got some F&F to pay attention for at least the premiere because it'll be in China, but they're all miles away as well. Sigh!

Chy, LOL! out of the 16 ppl in the pool only 4 of us actually watch the show!!!

I sold the idea to ppl I knew liked to gamble! LOL

so they key is not to have 16 survivor fans, the key is to hang out with gamblers!

I don't see this posted here but, if it's somewhere else, I apologize for the duplication!

CBS (and Jeff) did a bunch of BEHIND THE SCENES videos that are pretty cool. They've only released two so far but will be releasing 4 more in the next week leading up to the premiere. I'll share the links as I get 'em but here are the first two:

Tour of Base Camp, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmD5ae9gniw

What is a Dream Teamer, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hIaV_zBJRA

PS: Neither of those contain season specific spoilers. They're all stuff that's happening at base camp and, while you might catch a glimpse at a challenge name/setup, you don't actually get to see any of the contestants or how the challenges actually work.

There's a lot of stuff and I didn't see this. But if anyone gets Fox Reality Channel, their Reality Remix Weekend is a special Survivor show. An hour of all things Survivor. Interviews with the contestants, Jeff and Mark Burnett, very pretty scenes, interview with the challenge guy, etc.

Good you brought it here, Raen. I wasn't sure if it'd be considered Spoilers or not, so I did linked it in that area.

But if we all agree it's okay, then I could have some body to talk about those here. Yes??? :-)

These are things you'd learn from the great deal of promos that are not really be thought of as spoilers by me:
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
For instance, did you see how Frostie was practically flying? (This was done in interviews before they were sent to different islands.

Did you hear how James was shy one minute and thinking about Showmance the next? His type could be tattooed, small or Asian. Sounds like every lady there! :-)

Jeff had a lot to say about Jean-Robert. People speculate that this could mean a whole lot of screen time for J-R. But JP never said a word about J-R's ability to speak Mandarin, that's suspicious to me that J-R did not make so far....


Could we talk about stuff like that here? Please?

One thing for you purists who rather not be spoiled at all: Don't try to read the white or black boards!! We can't understand why EPMB let this clip be shown before the show even premiere! There's enthusiasts studying the caps frame by frame and learned just about half the show! :-)
The other boards are teasing that poor Jeff is never gonna be allowed to have a camera around Camp any more! :-)

It is a pretty different feeling this Preseason. But I thought EPMB was mad when we found the location before he released it?
It was great fun, we searched Survivor in both English and Chinese. As soon as the "Sacred Mountain" was said, we started from there. "JiangXi Province" was a huge clue. ~~ Although till this day I'm still questioning calling ZLH "at the hills of the Sacred Mountains" ??? When I mentioned it to my father on an Over-seas long distance call, he also said PoYangHu right the way! <<ETA: Although I do have to tell you that ZLH is man-made only about 50 years old, and my folks moved to Taiwan with Chiang in 1949 as young-ens.>>

Some Americans spoiling together even learned how to read ZheLinHu and Survivor in Chinese to help them Google better. :-)
There's also a number of Chinese posters on Sucks now posting in Chinese with me! We discuss every Chinese characters showing up in the vids, and we get to make light-hearted fun of others pronunciation for once, hehe!
