Some more infor, thanks for Survivor Fever:

Twists, Switches, Challenges
The season will bring harder (yet more simply designed) challenges, fewer water games and a good-versus-evil theme. Producers will also keep players on their toes by switching up the order of some Survivor staples - the car challenge, tribal merger, outsider visits. "Any time we pull something over on the players, it's cause to pop a bottle of champagne," Probst says.

“This season, the idols get played in a way they’ve never been played before,”


Maybe someone hands it over to an alliance member who is in danger...

Ginger Note: I'm going to rearrange this odds list so we can see later how close it comes to the actual final "turn-out". I'm not a gambler, so I'm assuming that an 11-2 would fall right after a 5-1???

Excerpt from the Dalton Ross "Behind the Scenes" videos (I found quite humorous).
****************************
Dalton Ross: We are getting ready for the marooning of Survivor: Gabon. This is where it's all going to begin for Season 17. The contestants are going to start right down here. Probst is going to meet them and they're going to do a schoolyard pick 'em.

Jeff Probst: Okay, we're going to choose tribes. Each time you make a selection, you can choose a man or a woman, it doesn't matter but because we have 9 men and 9 women there are going to be uneven numbers of men and women on both tribes.

Dalton: Then, the challenge. They're going to have to run up this hill all the way through those flags. What's going to happen is the first tribe that makes it up is going to get this, big sack of rice. But, the first person from each tribe that makes it up is going to get that and that is immunity from the first Tribal Council. One for the Kota tribe and one for the Fang tribe. Personally if I were playing this game I'd want to be Fang tribe, all the way, much more of a badass name. What's going to be interesting to see is, does one person race up just by themselves to get that individual immunity or do they help their teammates to get up as a tribe to win that rice and maybe anything else that might be available to them. Could be a costly, costly decision if you make the wrong one.

Dalton: Hey here I am standing out at Exile, not Exile Island mind you but simply Exile. Now the twist this season is this: Contestants when they come to Exile have a choice. They can go and take part what is going to be called Earth's Last Eden, out there, in that hut on the water. If they do that they're going to get some special treats. I'm not exactly sure yet, they're still working it out, maybe some fruit, maybe some juice but if they do that then they can't search for the hidden immunity idol. The hidden immunity idol can be pretty damn easy to find so they have to make a choice. Go out there and enjoy the high living or look for the idol. Let's go check it out a little bit. This is day one of the game right now but they still have not finished the little Earth's last Eden out here. These guys are working furiously. A little crooked bridge here. Hope I don't fall in. Apparently there are some nice leeches in this water here. I'm at Exile and I'm a little excited. I don't want to jump to any conclusions but I think I've found the first hidden immunity idol. It was sitting right on the ground [holds up a stick] and if you look really closely you can see a little smiley face on it. So I'm pretty excited. Don't know if I'm going to use it or pass it off to someone but I think this really going to come in handy.

<one hour later>

Dalton: I'm a little upset and a little embarrassed because Jessica, one of the producers, just informed me that it's not the Fang tribe, it's the Fang [pronounced Fong].

If you want to enjoy some of the footage shot by Dalton Ross, here's the link. There are 4 segments. I thought I would crack up when the doctor with the foreign accent told Dalton as he was leaving the medical department to "look out for the paper"!

Going into the October 16th Episode, Survivor Fever has updated their boot list to show....

Under NuFang:
Danny (G.C.) - Vulnerable
Kelly - Vulnerable

Under NuKota:
Dan - Vulnerable
Susie - Vulnerable

Ginger:
So, this makes me wonder if they are speculating that the merge of 10, which makes up the jury and the F3 later on will be:
Ace, Bob, Charlie, Corrine, Crystal, Ken, Marcus,
Matty, Randy, and Sugar. ????

Kooklie, if you made it here..

Looks like all we know is that Ace and Sugar are both predicted to make it to jury/F3 but doesn't seem more detailed than that.. so far.
