You know, that brings up a major question that I've had: If they are doing this Survivor 20 in the SAME place that the previous Survivor Samoa took place 10 days earlier, wouldn't most of the food supply have been pretty much depleted? So, are they going to have to do a bunch of competitions for cans of food like they did in Survivor Africa?

Good question! Maybe they will start them out with bags of rice and beans like they have done some seasons in the past?

Not sure where I read this, but it has to do with potential seasons past #20. Having the Heroes Versus Villains right back-to-back after Survivor: Samoa was done, on purpose, to save money for the Production. Same location. Same Production camp. One set-up and one tear-down versus two of each. One locale instead of a relocation. All supporting crew onboard and not flown out and then reflown somewhere else later. All done to save on Production cost. And, the hype about future seasons is that the same type of filming scenario in order to save $$$ would be utilized. So, the players will change, the challenges will change, the theme will change, the playing colors will change.......but the locale will be the same.

Ginger, I think I read that in EW. It makes a lot of sense.

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."

Thanks Ginger but did anyone say who the topless finish is? Tell me they are not talking about James.

Glenn....you have to back up and weed through so of the other posts to catch the discussion on that, but I'll just repeat it hear. Supposedly Sugar gets her top pulled off during that first challenge. I'm sure we will get to see lots of blurring for that part of the program (LOL). Actually, I feel sorry for her because not only does that happen, but she gets the boot this episode........so this is how she is going to be remembered for Heroes versus Villains.

Thanks again Ginger. I agree, what a bummer to come play the game and go out in such a flash.

Per Survivor Fever, a few spoilers for the season: 1 - The first episode is 2 hours, 1 boot 2 - During the season there will be a double boot episode 3 - There is no exile island 4 - There will be a TC where two immunity idols get played 5 - All but one of the challenges will be repeats, as all of the players are repeats.

Just because the production is still set up doesn't necessarily mean that the survivors are in the same locations...surely it is a fairly large land mass where they can put them, wouldn't you think?

FYI - Mods... Clicking on the CA button below shows the Cast from Survivor SAMOA, instead of the current Heroes/Villains cast.

Have there been any spoilers on Rob's medical situation next week?

Goddess: I haven't heard of any, but that's what I'm going to go start checking out right now. I've started up a thread for Episode 2, so whatever I find out will be in there.

Yes, I would like to know if Rob is medivac'd out next week, but I want to avoid all other spoilers. If Rob is out week 2 I need to know so I can mourn in advance.

FWIW, Reading Jeff's blog, the way he casually mentions that Rob basically needs to step up more, be more hungry to win to stay around in the game, seems to indicate to me that Jeff will still be around for a while. Or not. LOL

I must need more sleep too Mame because when I read it I knew exactly what you meant and could have swore it said "rob will still be around". And now I will leave the spoiler threads because I accidently saw who's supposed to go next! No more spoiling for me.

The info about the two season recruiting: I have some corroboration. One of the guys I spend a couple of hours with the other day while waiting in a huge long line to get wristbands for that evening's Ozzy Osbourne book signing at Barnes & Noble had recently gone to an open casting for Survivor and he mentioned that it was for TWO seasons. I hadn't read any spoilers yet so didn't think much of that but it makes sense that they'd want people available for the whole time. Interesting that he also was the only one in our little group who wasn't at all concerned about the time this was taking.. everyone else had someplace to be and hoped to get the wristband before it was too late. He was or had the "look" for survivor.. good looking, longish but very nice hair, well built, tall.. seemed in the right age range. But he himself mentioned that very few people get on reality shows anymore just going to open casting.

Sea, I read somewhere that Survivor's new dealie (starting with Season 19) is when they film they are doing two seasons back to back in one location per year to save on production costs. By doing this, it also immensely cuts travels costs and time.
