I just thought I would toss this one out there:

After three season's of Survivor, one of the spoilers that works the best is Weight Loss reported in home town papers.

This doesn't let us know if they won or not, but it does indicate if a contestent went far in the game.

This, of course, works best with those who have alot of weight to lose.

Who was reported a losing alot of weight?

Survivor 1
Rich, Kelly W.

Survivor 2
Colby, Kieth

Survivor 3
Lex, Overalls (I've already forgotten his name)
Not Carl (indicating he didn't go far)

So, with this in mind, I've heard:

-Zoe lost 23 lbs
-Hunter lost a lot of weight
-Gabe came back "real skinny" ('Course he already is "real skinny" so I'm not sure what this counts for. A la Dirk in S1)

Other spoilers have turned out as true, but they are somewhat impossible to tell apart from the fake ones. Weight loss is hard to hide, and not likely to be dramatic for shorter stints on the show. (Even if they do lose it, they have time to regain it prior to coming home. The final 4-6 have almost no time at all before returning home.)

I read on the Survivor Fever site that the Tahitipresse wrote that the first 2 boots came from different tribes. Since Peter came from Maraamu, it might point to a Rotu boot..I'm thinking Kathy.

Okay, I know this probably isn't the right place to put this....it isn't exactly about a spoiler.....well, it sorta spoils things... Anyway, I'm sure most of you have read this already as ya'll are all really good at digging up survivor stuff.

Anyway, take a look at this link instead of letting me try to explain it.

Thanks Sabbatia!! No, I never saw that. I wonder if it is true? or if MB is spilling crap on us again. I think it does say that Hunter is the winner because he looses so much weight.

I also thought it was interesting that they don't actually walk to tribal council. In prior episodes, they always acted like they had to make a long walk to it. Looks like they fooled us.

Wow! I suppose the 1/2 mile is what they are referring to when they talk about walking to TC. lol

Another good spoiler that works is who people talk about in their chats and interviews after being booted. It gives some insight into who they spent time with before returning home. For example, Peter talked a lot about Rob. He seemed very friendly with Rob even though we know he didn't seem to hit it off with Rob during the show. That leads me to believe that Rob probably gets voted off somewhat early.

Hey, great info. This thread said Gina and Hunter definitely got together. But another said that they did nothing more than flirt. And why didn't the article mention Sarah and Rob????

Oh and who is the Australia girl who has hooked up with 3 tribemates? Is that Kimmi? Jeff Varner, Colby, and ????? I can only see it being her and Alicia. Same guys too. LOL

The Tribal Council bit is at last cleared up. The show makes it look like it takes hours to get there - they start out during the day and it is pitch black when they arrive.

Good one Gina. I am willing to go with Zoe making it to the final 4, absolutely.....Gabe too.

Looks good for Vee joining Hunter and Gina. That is the only way he would stay long enough to lose weight.

I like this. :)

Crazydog, I am going to guess Jerri but who she has hooked up with, I dunno. They also didn't say whether she did it all with ppl from her season.

Good article, Sab. Why are things like sunscreen, tampons, etc. hidden? Why didn't they show Lindsey getting the IV? Seems to me they should show that stuff...
