if something like this happened- if the tribes weren't even at that point, there could be big problems for the smaller tribe.. Say this happened after 4 eliminations (so from 16 to 14 to 10, but then back up to 12 with the other two people from day 1). If a tribe has 6 members pre-swap/twist, The original tribe still has the majority (4 originals, 2 from the other tribe, one new person)- so they have a little leeway there. If they have 5 members, then it's even (3 originals, 2 from the other tribe, 1 new person)- so the original tribe will have to flip someone or trust the new person or likely face a tie.. If the tribe has 4 members- they're outnumbered without flipping someone (2 originals, 2 from the other tribe, 1 new person)- so the new person suddenly becomes a possible swing vote.. With 3 people, it's basically a new tribe anyway, and 7 people have a comfortable majority. (I don't think a 7-3 situation would happen, as there are too many variables- 6-4 is probably most likely, and 5-5 is somewhat likely)

I live in Lakeland, FL, and I was really tickled to see one of the cast is from here, Spencer Duhn, the 19-year-old. He's a youngster, so I don't know him. My niece graduated the same year, but from a different high school; she looked at his Facebook, and apparently they do have some mutual friends, which is kind of interesting. My main purpose for posting (and I think this is my first one here, so HI!), is to share the article about him in my local paper. Hopefully the link will work. http://www.theledger.com/article/20090114/NEWS/901140405/1410?Title=Lakeland_Native_Cast_on__Survivor_

Thank you, and welcome, Solitaryphoenix! Is this the same one he talked about how he had to forfeit a semester's tuition, when they called him in after an original cast was bitten by the scorpion? (Your link is huge and kinda hard for me to read right now. Will get to it later ...)

Great article SP........and thanks for posting it! I loved when Jeff said in his video that we have to remember that Spencer is a long-time Survivor fan and was only 10 years old when the first one aired. For those of us that have been watching since the beginning, this made me really sit up and think how fast time really seems to fly.

I picked this up over at RealityFanForum. It's not a real spoiler, just speculation ... but it addresses a guess on the spoiled scorpion bite. I talked to folks who attended the December 12th symphony performance and they said Ben Wade had lost about 60 pounds since they last saw him, he was using a walking stick/cane (which he never needed before) and looked like he had been through the wringer. He has said there were would be an announcement on National TV after the superbowl that would "bring Susanville and the Symphony attention".
Coach went from looking like this ....
to looking like this. The posters at RealityFanForum were speculating that a scorpion bite would definitely take this kind of a toll (weight loss and need of walking stick) on a person....and they were speculating that it would happen during the course of the show. This is only speculation. If any of us see that it has been clarified that it happened before the showing, please post a confirmation source in the thread for us.........thanks!

Survivor Fever had this article from Reality Blurred highlighted at their website. Some insite from interviews of the contestants of Survivor: Tocantins. ******************************* Survivor Tocantins Stephen, Tyson, Erinn were the most engaging Survivor Tocantins cast members; Sandy, Sierra were more annoying The cast of Survivor Tocantins is a strong group, and one with fewer extremes. I have no doubt some will appall us and others will make us love them based upon their behavior during the show, but in person, they were pretty much all likable, engaging people—a nice change from Gabon. Thus, it was very hard for me to rank the 16 new cast members this season from likable to unlikable, which I did last season. In Brazil, I found Sandy to be downright annoying but incredibly fun to talk to (hell, she was wearing a dehydrated animal penis as a necklace); Brendan was reserved and skeptical but smart and friendly; Spencer was in hyper superfan mode but was a great Survivor conversationalist. Because no one was really hateful, and are instead just more annoying or less interesting than the others, this list ranks them from engaging to less engaging. And literally every one of them could be switched with the person before or after them in the list; it’s very arbitrary, since, again, no one left me with an overwhelmingly negative vibe. Because of that, I’ve included two adjectives for each to identify what I recall as their most memorable personality traits. Starting next week, look for an interview a day with more details you won’t find anywhere else, including information about who was recruited (a lot of them), plus my analysis of their potential in the game and their strategies. Stephen Fishbach: intellectual, aware Tyson Apostol: witty, unassumingly smart Erinn Lobdell: fun, charming Candace Smith: amusing, assertive Spencer Duhm: young, cutely enthusiastic Tamara “Taj” Johnson-George: charming, well-rounded Brendan Synnott: cautious, attentive Benjamin “Coach” Wade: impossibly arrogant, self-aware Carolina Eastwood: worldly, perky Jerry Sims: resourceful, friendly Debra “Debbie” Beebee: considerate, inviting Sydney Wheeler: interesting, average Joe Dowdle: resolute, agreeable James “JT” Thomas Jr.: nice, flat Sandy Burgin: super-crazy-enthusiastic, annoying Sierra Reed: prepared, brash

I'm slow....but I wil eventually get there! I'm sure somebody will fix it when they get around to reading the posts!!!

I say we either put the whole name in Portuguese in the title -- República Federativa do Brasil or change that "S" to "Z"... I'd noticed that for a while, but also hang up on the two different types.... (If you type "Brasil", it shows up on Google also w/o correction.)

I say we all embrace the Portuguese spelling and leave it just the way it is.

Brasil is perfectly fine with me, as that is the way the residents of that country spell it. Brazil is an Anglicization to make it easier for English speaking people to correctly pronounce the name of the country.

I am sitting here laughing myself into a coughing spasm. Somehow we got far away from spoiling Survivor: Tocantins and got off onto a spelling bee! (Too Funny!!!)
