lalalalalalala Oh Rats!. I was so hoping Fairplay would not be on. I guess I won't be watching unless he is booted early. I really can't stand to watch one more second of him on my T.V.!

Ahem ......... according to all the spoilers. DON'T READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW .... JFP quits during the first episode when the Favorites lose the immunity challenge to the Fans, and I assume this means they vote him off at TC per his request.

This is really not spoiling, but since we do not have another thread set up for Survivor: Micronesia, I'll just post it here. There is a picture of a bulletin board that has the rules on it for the Hidden Immunity Idol. When I snag the picture and then shrink it to where it is acceptable here at the Clubhouse, you can't read the words .... they are too small. So, I'm retyping the rules for you here: THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL RULES THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL WILL KEEP YOU SAFE FROM BEING VOTED OFF AT TRIBAL COUNCIL. IF YOU DISCOVER THE IDOL, YOU MAY KEEP IT A SECRET OR TELL OTHERS THAT YOU HAVE IT. THE IMMUNITY IDOL CANNOT BE STOLEN FROM YOU. YOU MAY GIVE THE IMMUNITY IDOL TO SOMEONE ELSE EITHER AT YOUR CAMP OR AT TRIBAL COUNCIL. IF YOU INTEND TO USE THE IDOL, YOU MUST REVEAL IT OR GIVE IT AWAY TO SOMEONE ELSE AFTER ALL OF THE VOTES HAVE BEEN CAST, BUT BEFORE THE VOTES ARE READ. JEFF WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO PRESENT THE IDOL JUST BEFORE THE READING OF THE VOTES. IF YOU USE THE IDOL AND YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES, THE PERSON WITH THE SECOND HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE GAME. THE LAST TIME YOU CAN USE THE HIDDEN IMMUNITY IDOL IS WHEN THERE ARE FIVE SURVIVORS REMAINING IN THE GAME.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I noticed in the hidden idol rules that it can't be stolen from you. Is that a new rule? Or do you think it was put in place after the thought to take an immunity idol from James happened last season?

Personally, I think the rule has always been in effect, or Jaime and/or Todd would have tried to steal the HII from James if they could.

Yes .... but this is the first time I've seen all of it in black and white. I don't think there are any changes here, just the rules where we can finally view them.

Here are some more pics of various things to do with Survivor: Micronesia.... After a season is over, the production crew dismantle or destroy the challenge pieces and props supposedly.
Hut assembled for one of the challenges???
large pieces to destroy --- hut and towers
different challenge pieces to destroy
my favorite --- purple coconuts??? (too funny)

Since Jamie hadn't seen the idol, I doubt she would have seen any rules which would have kept her from stealing it.

Let me show you guys the picture where I got those rules from.
The words are on a bulletin board type thing, and posted, but having to shrink it to get it to upload at T.V. Clubhouse, the words are too small, so that's why I just retyped all the rules for you guys. This particular picture was in with the batch taken by somebody that was catching pictures after the filming was over. It was in with all those pics above I brought over of props after the show was done. I'm curious to know if this is the first time the Survivor people have posted the rules like that because of things that have happened in past shows where players had to be told that they couldn't steal, etc.............or if this is done every time and it's just the first time we got a picture of it. Who knows!

Here's an article from over in Palau, telling about the set-up for the show as to how it affects the area, and there is good info in here about where the camps are, and Tribal Council, and Loser's Lodge....plus it gives the 2 names of the tribes. Interesting reading. ************************************* Survivor Micronesia, Episode 16 In September of 2007 the crew of more than 200 accompanied by 80 forty foot containers began arriving in Palau to build reality. Over the next 6 weeks workers would convert an empty waterfront lot located next to a luxury hotel into the Survivor Micronesia camp. in Total, the four months in Palau will once again transform this mellow island into a bustling production facility and bring millions of dollars into the local community. Even though the show was shot almost entirely in Palau, a few charter flights to neighboring island nations would allow SEG to name the show "Survivor Micronesia Fans Vs. Favorites" instead of something repetitious like "Survivor Palau 2". They have done it before with Panama and the Pearl Islands. The sad part for Palau is that when curious viewers of Survivor google the show, they will enter Micronesia and receive information on the Federated States of Micronesia instead of Palau where the show was actually filmed. All those promises from Big Fish and SEG to promote Palau quickly disappear, poor negotiating on Palau's part. Down the street the art department creates the challenges and sets while a helicopter pad is constructed next to Roll 'em Productions. The French made Eurostar with a Wescam mount will be used to capture Palau's stunning beauty from the air and also to tape the show opening as host Jeff Probst hangs from a red and white bell 400 helicopter at the beginning of episode 16. For the wide aerial shots doubles, know as the dream team who act as stand ins for challenge rehersals, will dress in duplicate wardrobe and renact the actions of the actual survivors. While the last episode of Survivor was based on a World War II theme, this season will revolve around the a traditional island warrior theme. As construction on the Tribal Council begins,the production team heads out into Palau's many islands to disassemble summer houses, clean beaches and build challenges. Surprisingly the locations are spread across many islands and include many beaches used by hundreds of tourists daily. Despite the inconvenience created for locals, tour operators and other film crews. this second Palau episode is welcomed by the community at large. During the 3 months in Palau Survivor will employ hundreds of locals, hire dozens of boats and vehicles, fill many hotels and consume all the food and alcohol Palau can provide. The visiting crew, which is seemingly dominated by Australians, is a strange mix of professional television personnel and others which Survivor has picked up along the way. Students, surfers, construction workers and painters are hired in the locations survivor travels to and the lucky ones may move on with the show. The aura of the show is a different one, part film set, part surf camp and part fraternity. In the Palau state of Airai, local craftsmen revive an old war canoe with fresh paint and attach a coconut painted like a severed head to the outrigger. In Koror the welding shop blazes with sparks crafting the items the show needs but can not buy on island. The grocery stores wrestle with trying to keep fresh vegetables on the shelf while the hardware stores sell out of even basic items such as nails. Back in Los Angeles the contestants are going through rehearsals and wardrobe fittings where costumes are selected which represent the personalities of each contestant and allow the viewer to witness the expected weight loss to occur over the forty days of production. Soon they will board continental Airlines for the 24 hours of travel that will land them at the Palau International Airport in late October. After a couple of days for recovery, production will begin as the survivors, some new and some returns, make their way to the 2 tribal camps located on Ulong Island and Ngereblobong Beach. Interestingly Ulong Island is the same site as a tribal camp in the earlier Palau episode. The 2 tribes eventually named Malakal and Airai would be located quite far from each other. The camp located on Ngereblobong Beach sits in a cove where at low tide the beach is in accessable by boat. The solution is to build a crooked wooden walkway from the camp out to the deep water. Up in the state of Ngarrard, North Beach Cottages are being stocked with all the things a survivor needs after they are voted off at Tribal Council. The private bungalows at North Beach will slowly fill with the first eight loosers before they are all shipped off for exotic vacations half way through the show. The second half of the survovors who participate in Tribal Council will take an hour van ride every third day to the base camp in Malakal and then on to a boat for the 10 minute ride to German Dock where Tribal Council has been constructed. While at North Beach the survivors are kept inside the resort, however life is good with a private beach and an army of production assistants to cater to their every need.

Bonbon, Jaime did find the idols when she was digging through James' bag and found them wrapped up.

There is no rule that says you can't search for them and see them and touch them....but you just can't steal them. Remember YauMan leaning way over somebody's shoulder during a hug to get a peek into their bag (too funny). Problem is, without having the clues, how in the world do you know what you are looking for?

Exactly Ginger. Jaime knew those were the idols when she searched James' bag, and the reason she didn't steal them is because the rule had already been in place - we just never saw it written down. And if they didn't have that rule, we never would have seen Jaime use a fake idol, which may be the funniest Survivor moment of all time!!!

I also think it was funny that Yau Man tried to make a fake idol and hide it. That would have been really funny if it would have been found and used, but we did get to see that players do think of stuff like that as game play. I think the Hidden Immunity Idol has added a lot to the fun and excitement of watching "Survivor".

Entertainment Weekly Editor Dalton Ross Interviews the Survivor: Micronesia Fans and Favorites Fans Interviews DR: (talking to Erik Reichenbach) The first thing I want you to do is complete this sentence for me, "I will win Survivor because..." Erik: Oh, sh%$! Alexis Jones: I will win Survivor because I am the most underestimated. Tracy Hughes-Wolf: I will win Survivor because I'm adaptable, I'm athletic and I'm competitive as hell. Michael Bortone: I will outsmart and outcharm every single person on the island. Kathy Sleckman: I will win Survivor because I'm just way smarter than all these people. Alexis: I think people will see the Southern Belle in me and think, "Oh she's such a sweet little thing." And I've got four older brothers and I'm fiercely competitive. Erik: I'm athletic, creative and a good mix of a lot of good characteristics. Joel Anderson: I am the most determined, driven, hard working, tactful individual on the island.

I've lived on a farm, grew up in a world community. I'm gay. I have everything kind of going in my favor. Natalie Bolton: I was a missionary for quite a few years. Living in crazy, desolate, isolated, little or no means. Um, in crazy elements. So, I believe that I have a leg up. And, I'm going to play with my mind and I believe if you can control your mind you can do anything, therefore, I will win, Survivor. Mary Sartain: I will win Survivor because this is my daily life. This is pretty much what I do...is put people together and make things work for my outcome. In business this is exactly what I do on a daily basis. So I'm gonna treat it as that. Jason Siska: I will win Survivor because I have all the necessary skills required to live out here and I'm also really good with people. I'm a nice guy and so I plan on walking home with the million dollars when this is done. DR: The favorites are staying in another part of the island. I'll be going to interview them next. -------------------------------------------------- Favorites Interviews Ami Cusack: I will win Survivor because I'm one bad %$#* James Clement: I will win Survivor because I have to. Yau-Man Chan: I will Survivor because I have what it takes to win this game. JFP: I will win Survivor because I'm Jonny Fairplay, reality TV icon. Cirie Fields: I should have won last time. JFP: See me the first time? Amanda Kimmel: I just got off Survivor: China, so it's fresh in my mind. James: I'll do whatever I have to do, lie, cheat and steal. I didn't do it so much last time. Ami: Last time I came so close. I was so sure I had it and I got a little cocky. Cirie: I thought I was gonna win last time because of my people skills and then it came down to fire. Ozzy Lusth: My mistake last time was basically being too much of a loner. Ami: This time I'm gonna be a little bit more smooth. James: I'm gonna hustle a little bit more, smile a whole lot earlier. Ozzy: I'm never going to go anywhere by myself except to use the bathroom. Ami: And I'm single this time, so... Cirie: If it comes down to fire or people, then I'll win. If it's something that's outside of that, that's out of my control, then I can't say. Eliza: I have the perfect combination of people skills... Cirie: I'm a good people player. *giggles* Amanda: I'm very athletic. Eliza: ...athleticism... Amanda: I have unbelievably good strategy. Cirie: I've been practicing my game skills. Jonathan Penner: I will be able to play in the middle of the pack and not threaten anybody. There's trust issues but I'll work my way through those. Yau-Man: Playing a good social game in the beginning. Jonathan: And them I'll be able to point out that there's all these other guys that are smarter than me and more obnoxious than me and better athletes than me and better swimmers and providers...all of them are bigger threats than me. Yau-Man: ...and then going to the more physical and more strategy later on. Jonathan: ...and I'll be the last man standing. Parvati: I will win Survivor because I'm out for blood this time and I'm not going to quit and I'm not going to stop until I win and everyone else is either voted off or dead.

Lexie... you could be right but I thought I read an interview with Jamie which asked if she knew her idol was fake. She said she wasn't sure, but that she had rifled through James' bag and felt his, but he was coming so she only go to feel them...she did not get to see his, so she didn;t know his had writing on the back which would distinguish his from hers...

That is true BBL, but what I was saying is when she found James' idols, she knew she couldn't steal them because there was a rule that you couldn't steal the idol if someone else had it.

Great work as usual, Ginger! ! In your "Friday, January 04, 2008 - 4:06 pm" post, the pic. third from bottom is of the molds with which they made the purple cement coconuts from. If I understood what I read correctly. Sounds to me, Palau got a bad deal. Money, yrs. But not enough credit when they had to shut down areas of certain islands for the production.... Here's Dan's site as mentioned in that spoiler: http://www.claycritters.com/map/s16/survivor_16_map.htm You can't C&P his stuff w/o permission. But it's pretty interesting to look at...

Okay....I've seen my first spoiler/speculation on who the Final Three are suppose to be. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ... DON'T READ Somebody at Sucks claims to know, and this is what they have posted. Remember, this has not been validated.........so might be truth, and might just be speculation. Ami, Cirie and Natalie

The only new information I see from checking out Survivor Fever is: (1) Chet comes homes with a coral injury to his foot. (Ginger: Does that mean he is the 2nd person taken out of the game?) (2) Ozzy and Amanda have a showmance/alliance. (3) James and Parvati have a showmance/alliance. Ginger: Having read that Amanda came away from the show with a lot of good things to say about James, I'm wondering if these 4 have a Final 4 pact, or something.

WHAT are Ozzy and James thinking?!? Are the little heads thinking for the big heads? It would certainly seem so!
