Well, Marky has done it again. He has managed to create a very imposing structure in Central Park. Luckily I managed to check it out today and figured I would tell of my findings. Sorry there are no pictures, as I would not have time to get them up, but try to picture this in your mind and you should get an idea before Sunday...


The Tribal Council is located on top of the Woolman Rink in Central Park. The main focus is a giant A-Frame structure with Marquesan carvings all over it - made up of 4 A-Frames with a huge cross-beam spanning its length (there is no roof of any kind attached as of this writing). Within the A-Frame structure is a myriad of cameras and lighting, as expected, which gives me the impression that CBS will have an almost 360 view of the entire set-up.

In the center of the A-Frame is a kind of cobbled-walled fire, similar to the one they have now. There are no seating areas for the survivors yet, but I get the impression that it mimicks what we are used to seeing in previous episodes.

Leading up to the A-Frame (which is on a raised platform) is a small row of maybe 5 or 6 steps. I get the impression that this is the only way to the "stage", as the rest of it is surrounded by an elevation of "marquesan style" plant life. However, as there are still 3 work days remaining until the show, I feel that the construction crew will have plenty of time to make this look realistic. At the present time it looks like a movie-set.

On either side of the A-Frame are 2 giant TV screens. I assume these are for the audience to watch the last 2 episodes on.

The seating area consists of three sections of seats. In the middle (directly facing the A-Frame TC) is approximately 600 seats. Flanking this on either side are 2 sections each comprising of approximately 210 seats each. The enitire area is open-air. Let's hope the weather is nice...

Well, that's about all I can remember off-hand for now. If I remember anything else I will edit this post for y'all.


Oh, and there are lots of porta-potties
