Ethan was one of my favorite winners. However, I thought it was a brutal season, especially the heat combined with the lack of water for swimming, bathing and drinking.

Africa was one of my favorite seasons too. Didn't they have issues where someone had to keep watch every night? Just different issues than in the South Pacific. The Ethan / Lex combo was fun to watch. I always thought that Lex should have won it.

I'm happy to see I am in such good company. I'm really looking forward to Gabon.

The first African site was on the grasslands...more like a desert to me, but I'm not from there so I cannot truly judge. I found the starvation and lack of plentiful clean water difficult to watch as dehydration took its toll on the players (as I remember it). I think this site will be different though. It is coastal and bound to have more water, vegetation, etc....so I don't think it will be the same as the first African season. At least I hope not....

Saw your note Aurora. If I had any spoilers so far, I couldn't post them here. I need a spoiler thread to do that properly, and a Survivor: Gabon section hasn't been set up yet. I don't think this link is in here yet, even though I saw you had the map. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_17

I checked out the map of Gabon. In addition to being coastal it has a large river running through it, so maybe the water issue is solved. The picture of the national park where the camp supposedly will be looks like grassland, not coast, however!

The most unpleasant thing to come out of Africa was Elizabeth Hasslebeck. LOL

OK, I liked Lex and Ethan and Big Tom. Still don't like Elizabeth on ANY continent.

They've delayed the season premiere by a week- the first episode is now Sept 25th. The good news is that it's now a 2 hour premiere...

YAY... I love two hour premieres. I wish TAR was a two-hour premiere. It gets a little busy trying to learn who the teams are while enjoying the show. Wilson, does this have anything to do with Big Brother (which I thought was ending on September 16)?

no Lexie- it's all about trying to knock off Grey's Anatomy and the NBC comedies (which all premiere that night)- it's also the HD premiere of the show, so that will get a lot of play in the press (and I'm guessing the cast will be revealed if not this week next week after the holiday)..

The cast has been announced... The big twist this season involves Exile (it's not an island this year, obviously). When a person is exiled, they have a choice- they can get a clue to help try and find the hidden immunity idol, or they can get a luxury for their time there- a sleeping bag, some food, something else to that effect- and the temptations will increase as the season goes on. The trick here is will someone give up the chance to find the HII for the treat or not...

This was my favorite Probst line regarding the cast: JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''The way I would describe Kelly is that she is part of the Text Message Generation. And she speaks that way, she'll say, 'OMG!' for 'Oh, my God!' That's Kelly. And just as a grown man looking at her I could say, 'That's charming, she's young and has her whole life ahead of her.' But as a tribemate I'd probably say, 'If she says OMG, I'll probably say GTFOH.'''

While I consider myself fluent in talking text, I have no idea what GTFOH means. If anyone cares to, please send me a PM in case the meaning involves the dreaded red dots.
