Let's try again! Alaginger, I swear I wasn't trying to step on your toes! Since no one is asking for it here, I was just going to let you do the honor and spoil the cast the way everyone here is used to. I just want to share the excitement from yesterday! Around 5pm EDT, a poster gave us a link: <from tullfan2, post #437 on S.Sucks S18 Cast Spoiling thread.> http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/01/survivor-secrets-revealed.php That link revealed those bunch of mactresses, Sierra, Candace, Sydney and Taj plus the granola guy Brandon which Alaginger told us in Jan. 3rd 7:36pm post already. While we're digging around and debating how we'd never heard of this Radaronline.... around 8pm EDT, poster Katy Carney said she has the cast right in front of her in the newest TVGuide! We didn't ask how she got it, just asked her to post image. When the image of TVGuide pages proved to be too tiny to read, she offered to type it all up in true fan spirit! You can read about it starting a bit before post #500 in the same thread. http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/topic/44627?page=25 If you don't have the time to read every thing, be sure to follow Katy's post to get a peak at the cast. She'd forgotten #13 at first but made it up for us later. (Bits of typos, easily overcome and forgiven!) Also, poster smokeitgood's posts are worth reading as well. Believe me when I say he has mad investigating skills! BTW, Mods, if this is not the way to spoil,-- I was taught to cite source and give links/credits ...) just poof this post please! I thank you for your hard work all the same!

http://www.susanvillesymphony.com/index.html Where Wade started up an orchestra and is very loved/respected. But since he's been coaching in MO. these days, he has to do some traveling to keep this duty. (They do have "practice conductor" though.) Sounds like he has a track starting up soccer teams and garner incredible winning records in short periods. -- I don't know anything about soccer except it's called football where I grew uo, lol, someone else could talk about that. Wade also holds some kayaking record, you could read all about him(and his younger-looking older brother) on wiki... I'm just excited since he's a fellow musician(even in the same Brass family! )-- Praised as one of the best trumpet player under 18 yo; a composer around 20s; went for a master degree in music after a Bach. in Business; currently Artistic Director and orchestra conductor for SSO. ... He has brains(some said his IQ is higher than Marcus') and knows how to be in the wild and should be physical enough to be an access in the beginning of the game.... I sincerely hope he won't be the first few boots! I am going to root for him, even though many at SSucks already "hate" him(?? w/o even seeing him in action??) Speaking of SSucks, the thread I'm sending you all to is mostly a thread where die-hard fans hang. Most of the time that means maturer posters, even if they admit to be 19 yo... (The 19 yo who gave some tips also is Kartnaller there.)

Wow, Chy.....great stuff. No...you are not stepping on my toes. I open the thread up so anybody that can spoil are wants to see spoiling can come here. Actually, I'm a Ball Captain for a Ball that is sold out with 400 guests that will be held 2/7/09, and I'm up to my armpits in alligators. By the time Survivor starts again, the Ball will be over and I'll have more time on my hands. I'll go see if I can bring some of those pictures over here for those that don't like to follow links or are at work and just stop in here a moment or have a slow dial-up, whatever!!! Thanks for the help!!!

Thanks to Survivor Fever:
Jalapao Red Tribe : Sandy Burgin, 53, bus driver from Louisville - This hyper, tattooed grandmother knew she was perfect for Survivor, so she flew to Seattle to be the first to audition. "My willpower is phenomenal," she says. "On a scale of one to 10, it's a 12." Stephen Fishbach, 29, corporate consultant from New York City- Call him a speechwriter, a spam master or a Muppet. (He thinks he looks like Kermit.) But don't call him "Fish." "That's my nickname at home," he says. "I can't [use it] here because when I can't fish, I'm going to look like an idiot." James Thomas Jr., 24, cattle rancher from Samson, Ala.- Warning: This cowboy knows how to take down prey. "Deer, turkey, wild hog, coyote-everything you're allowed to hunt in Alabama I've hunted," he says. "I'm a country boy." Spencer Duhm, 19, college sophomore from Lakeland, Fla.- Survivor fan Duhm has been studying the game since he was 11. That's why he plans to trust no one, saying, "You have to assume they're going to screw you before you screw them over." Sydney Wheeler, 24, model/interior designer from San Diego.- How will she outlast the competition? "I plan to make alliances with the athletic guys," she say. "They are cute and they'll be good at the challenges." And plan B? :If I've gotta flirt, I'm gonna flirt. Work with what you've got. Right?" Carolina Eastwood, 26, bartender from Los Angeles - How did this fire-spitting Panamanian-American prep for Survivor? "I got lasered from head to toe," she says. "Because I'm ethnic in the hairiest sense of the word. And I did not want to scare people with my overgrown armpits." Taj Johnson-George, 37, former member of the Grammy-nominated R&B group SWV from Nashville- "There's a stigma that comes with being married to an NFL player," says the wife of former Tennessee Titan Eddie George. "People think we're pampered. But I'm not. I'm a 5'9", 190-pound tomboy. I'm gonna tear 'em up when I get out there." Joe Dowdle, 26, commercial real-estate broker from Austin- Dowdle's strategy? Persuade and evade. "If it works, I will have pulled off something miraculous. If not, I'll get pretty far anyway. I told my mom before I left. "I'll see you out there."
Timbira Tribe Purple/Blue/Black : Jerry Sims, 49, U.S. Army sergeant from Rock Hill, S.C.- First Sergeant Sims may have charmed his 100 soldier Army Reserves company "with a smile and a little manipulation," but things will be different on Survivor. "I don't want to be the boss," he says. "The leader gets axed too early." Candace Smith, 31, lawyer-turned-actress/event planner from Los Angeles- Fertilized eggs? Insects? "I'll swallow it," says Smith. "Having to eat something [weird] for a chance to win a million dollars is nothing to me. I grew up eating chitlins." Tyson Apostol, 29, bike-shop manager from Lindon, Utah- Why do Survivor? "Because I'd be good at it. May as well go and win," says the former pro cyclist, who rides 31 mph. "And $1 million in two months isn't a bad paycheck." All he has to do now is perfect his strategy of "pushing people's buttons." Sierra Reed, 23, model from Los Angeles- Not only did this beauty not have to try out to get on Survivor ("I was at a taco stand when the recruiters came up to me," she says), she doesn't need the prize. "Money comes and goes," says Reed, who turned down a Tommy Hilfiger campaign to do the show. "If I'd saved when I was just starting out, I'd be a multimillionaire by now. Erinn Lobdell, 26, hairstylist from Waukesha, Wis.- Lobdell says she can get a stranger to trust her within five minutes. It's a gift she hopes will pay off. "I work at a nice salon, so if this works out for me, I'll be the new owner when I get home." Benjamin Wade, 37, soccer coach/part-time orchestra conductor from Bolivar, Mo.- "I'm in this game because I want to change it," says Wade, who kayaked 6.132 miles from Baja, California, to Colombia-alone. "it's become survival of the weakest. I want the strongest to survive. I want to team up with worthy opponents. May the best man or woman win." Debra Beebe, 46, middle school principal from Auburn, Ala.- "The potty thing is freaking me out," says the self-described adventure seeker, who left the comfort of her eight bedroom home to rough it. "Digging a hole and going Big Bathroom in the middle of nowhere...having to wipe with your hands...Is my body going to shut down because I can't do it?" Brendan Synnot, 30, entrepreneur from NYC.- First he sold his Bear Naked Granola business to Kellogg's as part of a $122 million dollar deal. Now Synnott's got to test his mettle. "I think it's healthy to have everything taken from you and then have to rebuild" he says/ "That's good character building.

CBS ANNOUNCES THE 16 CASTAWAYS TO COMPETE ON "SURVIVOR: TOCANTINS - THE BRAZILIAN HIGHLANDS" 18th Installment of the Hit Television Series Premieres in High-Definition on Thursday, Feb. 12 CBS today announced the 16 castaways who will compete on SURVIVOR: TOCANTINS - THE BRAZILIAN HIGHLANDS, when the 18th installment of the Emmy Award-winning series premieres Thursday, Feb. 12 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. SURVIVOR: TOCANTINS will prove to be one of the most rugged locations ever visited and the only relief from these harsh conditions will be a river oasis known as the Rio Novo. Left stranded in the majestic interior of Brazil for 39 days, these castaways will battle scorching temperatures, torrential downpours, and dangerous wildlife all in an effort to outwit, outplay, and outlast one another in order to win the title of Sole Survivor. This season, the castaways will be divided into two separate tribes from the very beginning and these diverse individuals must immediately begin their game based solely on their first impressions of each other. In advance of any formal introduction and before the castaways speak their first words to each other, one person from each tribe will be chosen to remain behind and will not continue with their group on the journey that lies ahead. Will this mean the end for these two individuals or will they get a second chance to make a first impression? The last part is what every body is chewing on right now. One great thing is how the river water is drinkable. No need to get dehydrated this season. Unless you're still thinking about the 8-bathroom house of comfort back in the States side. Alaginger, get to work! Mayansun should have even more pictures/captures by now! Posters are talking about who looks like workers and who may have implants ....

If you want my gut feeling- they might be doing a "secret location" twist, where the two who are left behind are actually going to be living alone for the first part of the game...and will rejoin the tribes at some point (maybe as a tribe swap or fake merge). So they think they might be eliminating those first two at the beginning-but they're actually giving them immunity for several episodes.

Problem is that once the rest of the cast members have had time to bond, the new people, if they are introduced back into the group, stand a big chance of being the first to be targeted for elimination leaving intact alliances untouched. What kind of first impressions can you form of a person before you are even allowed to speak to them and get to know them? Sounds pretty unfair to me after all it took for those two players to even get to come. Will just have to wait and see how this pans out.

No worries. If you watch that vid w/the first challenge, it looks like the Red team won already and everyone is back together when JP tossed the flint for Sydney to catch. Tyson's dissing "Old lady" already. Sierra wants to do something(??) to some one's balls?? I don't believe Joe will always "tell it like it is". Mother & big sis is not what people look for, Sandy, .. Wade has Artistic/creative, Jock/leader and adventurous sides... he's focused, and the only kind the show ever had(true) .... does sound "full of himself" as Jeff said. But Jeff, would you make up your mind please? Is Wade Hutch-like or Tyson?? Some picked out James the cattle rancher to be the guy whom will be loved in the fashion Rupert was loved .... I'm not sure. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/ In the clip called "Meet the cast"(3:22) you could see for yourself. BTW, that's the only way you could view Wade's clip, couldn't find it in the "meet the cast" area. Some one must goofed. I'm not sure if I'd talk so much here, it's spoiling area, not impression on the cast area, but that part is still locked ....

This is the one I like the best over at CBS, where Jeff gives his take on each of the players. A little tiny bit of spoiling in there if you pay attention to say he says will not last long in his opinion. http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/video.php?cid=995078142&pid=tlbFSBM0Pt25WtYQYq3Nu8vlbkYKJY0i&category=editorial&play=true

That's why I think you'd do this as part of a tribe swap- wouldn't the tribes be surprised if they get told via tribemail to send two people to the other tribe, and then when THREE people come back...do you try and eliminate the people from the other tribe or the new person? and to make it more interesting, make it a double TC that week- they'll compete only for a reward that week (some sort of elimination game, and the last person in the game not only gets the reward for their tribe, they also get II for that TC, plus a 2nd II for anyone they want- on their tribe or not).

Wilson, I wish tptb over there thinks like you do. I might have missed something though. Some at SS also talk about tribe-swapping as well. Maybe JP asked them to pick out the one "not going on the journey" after that first challenge over supplies.

Hahahaha, Wilson, I love the way you love these shows and how you always figure everything out. Great clip by Jeffy! I love Jeffy almost as much as I love Wilson. I am very jaded about how these shows are now almost totally scripted from the beginning with actors playing parts, but I JUST DON'T CARE. They ARE making good television, and I am enjoying watching it. Go Sugar!!! Oopsie.
