Episode 1 Immunity Challenge:

************************************
Per Challenge Producer John Kirhoffer in the TV Guide Channel Preview: "There are 9 players in each tribe and 6 of them are tied together. They're wearing belts with ropes in between them. They race through this obstacle course. They come running down the hill, charge through the swamp. They come up and over a tall A-frame then they start charging up a hill, 150 yards up a hill. They crawl under a set of fence posts, over, under, over again. Then they charge up to the dig area where they will dig three bags of puzzle pieces. Down to a gate. They have to dig under the gate, all 6 pieces pieces [bags] and the players under. Pass the puzzle pieces off to the three remaining players who will then have to assemble a long puzzle of their tribe's flag"

From what I am gathering by reading the posts over at Survivor Skills:

It appears that there will be two boots during the 2-hour premiere on Thursday night, and next week on Thursday will contain a 3rd boot.

It is known that Fang loses the first immunity challenge, and is probably going to lose the 2nd one as well.

Gillian (as the oldest) or Michelle seem to be the favorite picks to be booted at the first IC.
Since it is hyped that Fang will go to two TC's on Premiere Night, maybe both of these gals will be gone.

No actual spoiler on who gets the boot is out there yet!

it makes sense- since it was originally supposed to be a one-hour premiere last week, they probably just edited the first two episodes into one 2-hour show...

Yep...I think you're right Wils......

Over at Survivor Fever, they have started voting on who they think gets the boot(s) tonight, and now I'm seeing that they are leaning more heavily towards...

Susie (the talker) 1st
Gillian (the oldest on Fang) 2nd
......or vice versa.....
with some thinking Michelle in lieu of either Susie or Gillian. Guess you could say...nobody really knows.......no concrete spoiler out there.

That separation/split looks pretty good to me Sea!!! Thanks ... now I'm ready for the next episode. After tonight I should know if the next episode is 2, or if tonight is 1 and 2 together and next week is 3. A little confusing right now, on that!

Yep, in their greed, they probably fouled up the numbers. I see that not only are they doing the two hour show to block out Ugly Betty premiere and half of Grey's Anatomy Premiere, but they have it schedules from 8pn - 10:01pm so as to nick into the ER premiere at 10.

I just think that is so mean-spirited, but that is why I have two DVRs that can record two shows each. Just for the rare nights like tonight.

Ken Hoang is our "local" guy (next city north of me) and the article in our paper said that he had Lost and Survivor mixed up until he applied, so he's not an expert on Survivor. But he was smart enough to know he's really small physically so even when they told him he was not on this show, he kept doing strength training. He also mentioned that they have to send their clothing in advance, which might help explain why so many get stuck in really inappropriate attire at first, because they expect to get their clothing when they arrive.

it's not mean-spirited; it's strictly business. The networks always put shows so they end at one minute past- this way; they can count people who stay for the end of one show but then immediately shift to another network right after as part of the later shows first half-hour.

BTW- acme brain trust says Michelle goes first- after that they have no clue.

Well........for what it's worth:

Survivor Fever has their boot-sheet updated.

The only one they show as very vulnerable is:
Gillian

As vulnerable, they show: Michelle, Ken and Paloma

Everyone else is marked as safe or very safe.
Don't know what this is based on, but that's what they have up.

Aha........I didn't know that. Just checked them out and put them in my Favorite Places again so I can continue to monitor them occasionally.

Right now they have picked "Michelle" for the boot for Episode 1.

Here's from The Watcher again..

ā€˜Survivor: Gabon’ starts with a double dose
September 25th, 2008, 2:13 pm Ā· Post a Comment Ā· posted by The Watcher


We had to wait an extra week for ā€œSurvivor: Gabonā€ to start, but CBS is making up for it with two episodes tonight.

Westminster video-game champion Ken Hoang and 17 others will meet, form tribes and dismiss two of the clan tonight.

Gabon will be the first edition of ā€œSurvivorā€ in high-definition, but will that help us find any clarity about the outcome in advance?

For the spoiler scoop, click through to the rest of this article.


SPOILERS BELOW. DON’T GO IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW

Preview shots of the action give us the breakdown of the tribes and the winner of the first Immunity Challenge, but as usual with the first couple of episodes, things are murky after that.

The castaways will be divided into two tribes, Fang and Kota. Perhaps in honor of the first African edition, they will wear red and yellow buffs. Bob and Gillian, the two oldest contestants, will choose the tribes. Here is how they break down:

Red (Fang): Crystal, Dan, Danny, Gillian, Ken, Matty, Michelle, Randy, Susie
Yellow (Kota): Ace, Bob, Charlie, Corinne, Jacque, Jessica, Kelly, Marcus, Paloma

Thanks to pictures of the Immunity Idol in camp, it appears likely that Kota wins the first IC. Who gets the boot? Your guess is as good as anyone else’s.

Older women have always been vulnerable in the early episodes, which is why the Watcher is guessing Gillian.

As for the second boot, that’s almost impossible to say. With any luck, things will clarify more next week.

Sea... do you think that we could get one of the links that brings up the survivors faces (and then we click on it for their name) as we had in the BB forum? I loved that, it was so handy and helped us get to know the group...
