I'd love for it to be an all-woman tribe vs an all-male tribe.

But, don't expect for a minute that MB would tip his hand so soon. He said it would be a completely different beginning. There's no way he's going to divide the tribes by gender. They probably had them sit that way to start, then will have some type of contest to have winners pick who will be in their tribe or something of that nature.

My scenario would be this: A 16 person contest, where the top two finishers become "captains" of thier tribe, and then take turns picking thier tribemates. Let's say we have two male winners. JP then says, "OK, you may now each pick a person from the woman's side of the group. The fun would be, you have to remember who did well, and didn't do well in this contest, so you can pick wisely. Then, later on, you can't complain if you are stuck with a lazy tribemate.

Ooh! Good one Disco! And don't tell them ahead of time. Just tell them they are competing for the chance to become captains who will choose thier tribe.

Let's say they know about the way the tribes will be selected before they are taken to the island. They are then allowed to talk to each other on the boat on the way over. Just enough time to get/make a small impression, but not enough to get to know someone enough to know for sure if they would/wouldn't want them in their tribe for sure.

I'm with the idea of there being a contest to determine captains, who then pick their tribemates (with certain restrictions: I'm thinking the only main one will be the tribes must have 4 men and 4 women each) Men vs Women would be interesting, but: 1-you lose the romance angles for the first half of the show til the merge and 2-it would be unfair to the women in purely physical challenges, unless you tried to equalize them, which is extremely difficult to do.

Exactly my thought Wils. That's why they divide them up in a men's group and a woman's group. Or, maybe the men compete for a Men's Captain, and the women compete for a Woman's Captain. Then they start picking teams from there. Again, with the stipulation that they pick to equalize the teams with 4 men and 4 women each.

Another comment: what is up with Texas. FOUR of them are from Texas. If any of them have the same "Every day I wake up and thank God I'm from Texas" attitude that Colby had I do not think I will watch. I'm sorry for ranting, but !@#$% 1/4 of them are from Texas?!

On that note, two from Louisiana, one from Arkansas, one from North Carolina, one from Tennessee, one from Florida.

They are a pretty southern group aren't they? Do they get people from the midwest or northwest anymore?
