Thanks to Survivor Fever, a summary of the two challenges in Episode 1: **************************** Episode 1 Reward Challenge: Wrestling/Digging Ginger Note: I took the liberty to split this picture into 2 so you could see the line-up
Heroes on the left
Villains on the right Challenge lineup
Tyson and Boston Rob for Villains tribe are ready to rumble Jeff Probst: Survivors ready, go!
James digging for Heroes, Rob digging for Villains, Rupert and Tyson squaring off in center Ginger Note: I had to cut James on the left out of the pic so you could see Rupert trying to impair Tyson.
Sandra, Courtney vs. Candice
Stephenie dislocates her shoulder Jeff Probst <meet the cast video>: She comes into this game with a big problem with her shoulder, it easily falls out of socket and it comes into play early on.
Villains win fishing gear, Courtney shown with mask Ginger Note: This challenge must get pretty physical because this is the one where Sugar's top gets pulled off in the scuffle. And, since she is leaving as the boot for this episode, this is the only challenge where it could happen if the spoilers are right. -------------------------------------------------- Episode 1 Immunity Challenge: Quest for Fire The two tribes paddle a course in their respective tribal boats, along the way are buoys which must be lit by the tribal torches. Heroes tribe seen here.
Heroes tribe seen here returning to shore. Ginger Note: These two pics of the Heroes tribe must be CBS Mis-direction since the pre-spoiling of this season tells us that Sugar gets the boot and she is on the Heroes tribe.

For those that are curious .... Remember when Sugar was on in Survivor: Gabon and afterwards we heard she had married John Lands. Well, I just found where the marriage did take place in August 2008, and was annulled November 2008. I was curious because the spoilers have Sugar and JT rumoured as dating.

Thanks Ging. I was curious about Sugar dating JT because I remember her talking about getting married at the Gabon reunion show. Do we know if she was dating JT before the show started filming?

That's the way I understood the rumour, Lexie. When Heroes Versus Villains started filming, Sugar and JT were supposedly dating. But, I doubt we will see much about it because she is booted during the first Episode.

How do all these people meet each other and start dating? It's like the reality/game shows have their own separate dating universe.

I keep trying to tell y'all that there is a VERY small pool of reality television stars, of which Mike Boogie is the brightest star, and that is why they have to keep recycling them into other reality television shows. Sure, every now and then they find another one out there in the wild, like they did with Russell in Survivor 19, but that is rare. Mostly they just live in a subset of reality somewhere in Los Angeles and/or Hollywood, and sort of party on the sidelines until they get tagged to go into another game. Sheesh, get a grip on reality, folks.
(um, just in case anybody thinks I am a raving lunatic, would somebody who has been following the Twitter of this past season's BB cast please confirm that they are all STILL hanging out together?)

They are still hanging out together AND hanging out with the Survivors. Many of them were at the Survivor after parties, and the big anniversary party this past weekend.

It's like a club. That's why I never take the "nasty" comments that reality contestants make to each other while on the shows very seriously. What's the point in me getting upset about it when I know these people will be hanging around together like best buddies after the show ends (see Lydia and Michele for example).

I understand that... but don't these people have jobs to get back to? And how is they all end up dating each other? That's why I posted up there that it is like they have their own separate "dating universe."

Take a bunch of good looking, extroverted, single people with a common experience together and hookups are bound to happen. I think Survivor actually has a better track record of successful couplings than "The Bachelor" franchise. There are at least two marriages (Rob & Amber, Ryan O. & Mary), one very long-term relationship (Jenna & Ethan), one reasonably long relationship (Todd & Spencer), and several recent couplings (JT & Sugar, Stephen & Courtney)... not to mention a bucket load of short-term hookups (Colby & Alicia, Ozzy & Amanda, and many more I can't even remember now). Makes me wonder how many relationships will bloom from the gathering this past weekend. I have to admit I can't figure out the Stephen / Courtney coupling... can't imagine what he sees in her. I picture Stephen with someone more intellectual.

Re, episode 1 -- Probst says the first challenge will result in a broken toe, a dislocated shoulder and a topless finish. I think it's agreed the shoulder is Stephanie and the topless finish is Sugar. I'm wondering if the toe is James based on some spoiler info on another forum indicating James was injured but not medivac'd.

Hey Lexie, that would be Stephen Fishbach from Tocantins, one of my very favorite players ever. FYI, there's some indication JT and Sugar may have broken up since S20.

Yep, poor Sugar is really getting some bad publicity from this show. Story is that she was caught text-messaging people from her stay at Ponderosa. That's a big "No No"! I'm behind in my snooping. Hadn't read about the broken toe yet!!!

I had this posted in the General Spoilers. Guess it really belongs here in Episode 1: ****************************** Thanks to TDT, a summary of the results of the first RC which takes place right on the beach after the players have just landed. *********************************** Probst said at the 10th anniversary reunion event (video here): "Five minutes into the game, we have a broken toe, a dislocated shoulder, and a topless finish." And SurvivorsUnite adds more details: "Parvati is the one who dislocates Stephenie's arm during the challenge. And Boston Rob is the one who gives a broken toe to Rupert."

Interesting question here? Which tribe wins the first RC? TDT is showing that the first RC is won by the villains. Survivor Fever shows Courtney wearing a diving mask, as seen in the above pics. TDT has a picture showing Tyson wearing one also as he and Sandra catch fish. So based on that it looks like the villains win the first RC. However; at the reunion recently Mark Burnett and Jeff Probst were interviewed and it came out that Sugar had her top pulled off by Sandra, but ran back anyway topless to win it for her tribe. She is on the Heroes tribe. Misdirection .... who knows? Also, it has been rumored that Rupert aggravates his tribemates right from the beginning over the food, wanting to kill the chickens for food while the others don't want to kill them ...... yet! Right now, TDT shows: RC: Villains IC: Villains Boot: Sugar I'll keep checking around and see if any more comes out about that RC.

Maybe Sugar won that point for her tribe, but then they lost the overall challenge.

I remember the reward and immunity combined sometimes, especially the first challenge of the season.

Thanks to Survivor Fever ----- T.V. Guide Channel Preview Sneak Peek 1 Hour - January 31st ************************** Transcript: Natalie: Hey everyone. I'm Natalie White, winner of Survivor: Samoa. Welcome to Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains preview. Over the next hour we'll tell you who's returning to the game and what intense challenges they'll face. Up first, this is a milestone season for Survivor so they had to come up with one of the biggest twists ever. Jeff Probst: Twenty seasons, ten years. We should do something. Natalie: Survivor is still going strong after the first season changed Reality TV and on Heroes vs. Villains it's all about the characters. Jeff: We did just sit down and look at all the faces from the 301 people who have played the game and we said, "Who would we like to see again?" Almost everyone of these people were either really loved or really hated and Burnett said, "Let's just do Heroes and Villains. Natalie: With so many memorable contestants there are bound to be some that didn't or couldn't make it to Samoa. Like season 1 winner, Richard Hatch. Jeff: There's quite a few people who could be here had we gone with more characters. Corinne, certainly on the females villains. We offered it to her and she couldn't get out of her job. Probably the most evil woman I've ever met. Shane Powers would be fantastic to have on the show. We wanted Shane, Shane wanted us. It just came down to slots and ultimately Russell bumped Shane out. One guy we did not consider bringing back, although I'm sure he will try to convince everybody we did, is Johnny Fairplay. Johnny Fairplay went from a villain to a quitter. And we don't invite quitters back. So, he's done. Natalie: It's not just the contestants returning for the 20th season. Jeff: The challenges this year are all going to be returning challenges with the exception I think of one that we might throw into the mix for a special reason. John Kirhoffer <Survivor Challenges Producer>: This season is all classics and all replicated as closely as the first time as possible. Natalie: Heroes vs. Villains will be kicking off with big drama on the very first day. Jeff: We're having our contestants flown in on Hueys, these big helicopters. They come in, they land, the sand blows, out of the sand comes Rupert, Colby, Tom. There's Coach, there's Randy, there's Jerri Manthey. Natalie: And there will be no time to get reacquainted. Jeff: How do you think you match up, let's find out at the first challenge and it is a full on battle. John: Our favorite contestants battling in the grit of the sand. Jeff: I think the opening challenge sets a really big tone. It's gonna be physical and it's going to be a rivalry. Plus, you get nudity right off the bat which never hurts. But we have all the elements. We have a beautiful location, epic challenges, we have our greatest characters. This better be a really good season and I think it will be. *********************************** Here's a couple of pics from the preview of Sugar losing her top during that first challenge:
