It seems like they had animal problems when they were in Africa the last time.

I read in an article after the last Africa season that every night the survivors would have to take turns staying up at night to watch out for wild animals around the tribes' camps. I'm really surprised they went back to Africa.

I hated seeing the Survivors wasting away in Africa. They really looked like they were in fear of dying of dehydration and malnutrition at any minute. I remember they showed us at lease one lion that came close to the camp one night.

Isn't that the season where several of them got really sick with parasites? As I remember it, the water was very contaminated.

That Probst article showed some interesting tidbits - they lost $100,000 of FOOD!! and one would think that's a LOT of food for a month!! unless they usually eat a lot of special cuts!! I know tho from spoiler pics that it does take a village to film survivor!

Reader, I saw an interview with JP about two months ago and he said it takes a crew of approximately 300 to film one season of Survivor - so it takes a very big village to film Survivor!!!

Too early for much news, I'm afraid. I'm actually not looking forward to this one quite as much. Africa was my least favorite season because of a number of things: the gross water, the lack of scenery, the nasty attitudes of the young 'uns, etc. However, I ALWAYS watch Survivor, so we'll be tuning in no matter where they go. There, no thread killer title for you, Lexie.

I bet I can kill the thread! I'm really good at doing that. Then you won't have to feel guilty Lexie!

My sister has been trying to get onto Survivor since the beginning. At one point she was in the final 300 or so before the cut. Well, she is leaving for a missions trip to Gabon with her husband and the youth group from church in July, and I am very suspicious. OK, I don't believe she is on the show, but how ironic is it that she has wanted to be on the show so badly, and she will be in the same remote country that they will be filming in at the same time? I feel badly for her.

Wow Lesleyjack! It's a "small world" isn't it? I would sure be wondering myself. Hope you will post any details she comes across. My Sis & I both agree with Teach. Survivor Africa was our LEAST favorite of any season & we've watched since the very first episode. It was like they could only sit around flapping their gums while the pile of tin cans grew into a mountain. IIRC, they couldn't kill any animals for food, so they just had to hang out until food was delivered. Thought it was disgusting at the final episode that they just walked away from the pile of rusting cans. Trash the environment anyone? Hoping Gabon will be better, but we're not banking on it. ETA: Not that I'm advocating killing animals by any means. However, when they do these things on the islands, there are clams and seafood. Not just waiting for food deliveries. However, I just googled a map and it looks like Gabon in on a coast so maybe that seems more hopeful.

I'm sure your sister will have a much more fulfilling experience on her mission trip than she would have wallowing in the dirt on Survivor.

I don't like the way they go into a jungle habitat and then blame the animals for coming close to camp. Wasn't Africa where Jeff picked up a parasite and got sick?

I agree, Roxip. My sister has a heart for missions. She and her husband will not turn their AC on in this heat wave so they can prepare for the heat of the trip. I will post anything if she stumbles upon any clues for the upcoming season. You know, like flying home with kicked off cast members. She will talk to anyone about anything anytime, so if there is someone she runs into from Survivor, she will find out something.

One of my best friend's daughter is preparing for a life as a missionary...it takes an amazing person. She was in Africa several years ago and has also been to Japan. She also has worked several summers in Alaska. The funny thing is that this summer she is working for the parent organization and they have here in Dallas...but she's living on the other side of the Metroplex so it is still like she's away all summer! She is a very special girl.
