Figured I'd start this, since the information seems to be coming out now. I won't post anything on possible bootees, that can come later as we get closer to the debut and more people can confirm. The info is just too vague yet.

SPOILERS:
-we all know that part of it was they only got the clothes they were wearing to start with.

-According to TV Guide, another rumored part of the twist has been confirmed.....The teams have to swim about a 1/2 mile to an island village, and are then given 100 balboa each-the local currency (about $100 US)-to buy supplies.

-One of the teams makes a critical error in their buying...they get food (and wine), but forget to buy bug repellent, and they are pretty ate up by mosquitoes soon after the start.

-Team Drake kills a pelican, thinking they will cook it, but the producers step in and warn them that it might be too dangerous to eat (beacuse of parasites), and they end up throwing the bird away. The producers haven't decided if the footage of the team actually killing the bird (Christa hit it with a rock, and then Rupert snapped its neck) will air.

-The first challenge involves carrying heavy cannons thru a course 300 yards long. a lot of the guys lose their pants in one part of the course.....Probst quote: "No matter how you look at it, guys look stupid naked."

-There is at least one more major twist coming this season.

-CBS spokesperson Chris Ender hints that it might be how the finale will be done, saying "MB always has tricks up his sleeves."

RUMORS:
There might be a twist involving prior bootees, where they might be able to sabatoge games to one person or another or have a chance to be able to reenter the game at some point.

Expedition Robinson, the show Survivor is based on, has had many twists. Our versions have done a lot of them (and have done an original one in the later than normal merge), but have yet to do some of them. They are:

-there are 2 mystery contestants the original 16 have no clue about. They start as the third tribe the same time as the others, but are not seen until the merge at 10, when the two tribes go to the third tribes camp, having a merge of 12 people, not 10.

-The ghosts of the past can haunt you: When a person is eliminated, they get a chance for revenge in what they call the black vote. They get to make one vote for a person still in the game, and that vote will count against them the next time that person comes to TC (without immunity, of course, after the merge). They stop doing this once the final five is established, and any votes left unused are voided.

-Everyone attends Tribal Council in the two tribe phase...because the immune tribe gets to decide who in the non-immune tribe is eliminated!

Thanks Wilson. Can you provide links or sources to the unconfirmed rumors? Just curious where they are coming from.

Just by looking at all the profiles of the players, I can already pick out several favourites. I really like this year's cast.
I am breathing heavily in anticipation of the show's beginning.
Yeehaaaw!!!

Great job Wilson. I came here hoping to find a spoiler thread. I see that , in June, CLP also reported the following from an issue of TV Guide:

"Quote:

"We're going to have penalties for losing a reward challenge," says Probst. "We want the feeling of unruliness."

Cool! Let the games begin!

the stuff from the TV Guide came from the Survivor Sucks board...also, someone on there mentioned what twists from Expedition Robinson have and have not been used on our version....I put them down as rumors because since it's happened on the original show, it's open to happening here....

I've also read that when they "jump" ("shipwrecked" in the first episode, many had "inappropriate shoes on" so they also threw a bundle of shoes overboard, but the early shows vidcapped by others showed a lot of barefooted people!! I read the reason was to give them a chance at challenges. So I for one will be on the look out of shoes!! :)

I hope Probst get his unruliness. That would be ! From their on-the-beach group pics, the Drakes look like ol' chums: having a great time being stranded. The Morgans look unsure and in a daze from being marooned.

I'm looking forward to the fun and games!

I didn't see this link posted anywhere else, forgive if it's a duplicate. On the right side of the page are links to two videos. One is of Jeff Probst talking about the "shipwreck" the other is of a few of the contestants.

Survivor News has an article up with some interesting info...here's some of it...

-the "market" they Survivors went to in the beginning was specially made.

-the prejury boots went to another island, where they were kept in similar conditions to the other players (had required exercise, and food and drink restrictions). The reason....

-The 2nd twist will be a player reentering the game at some point, (speculation on my part: possibly just before the jury phase. The last non-jury boot would be on the October 30th episode....the first episode of November Sweeps. So it might be around the 10/30 or 11/6 episodes)

-the person who wins her way back in (they think its an older woman), then supposedly wins another challenge immediately. They don't know if it's immunity, or a "play to stay" game (someone would have to take their place in the bootees, unless they go an extra ep. If it's a swap, it could be a game where a person who did poorly in a special challenge has to beat the returnee in a head-to-head challenge, or face the embarassment of being eliminated without being voted out....but that's just conjecture on my part. They could also not do the usual recap episode, and have an extra gameplay ep.)

-SN also thinks they know the final three (but aren't naming names at this point)....and they think the returnee might be one of them!

Thanks Wilson, that's great info - luv this stuff..

I'm following Lil (my dh is a SM, and I've done the training and am an Asst Scoutmaster w/ troop)
I like knowing that Lil has an Eagle Scout (altho on the other team!) I think that could bode well for an alliance... it is also reported that several spoilers look into the lost weight issue - so I think MB putting all booted survivors on an island with a PURPOSE - is ingenious!!!

{{I wonder if it is her? Apparently on the other bb, someone was near the island and also feels an older woman makes it to the end... }}}

pssst Wilson, over at SS I thought that the post by Weezie and Quartzeye was a 'joke', I just read more today, and it looks legit, or am I being 'sucked' in - hook, line, and sinker?!! PS those posters over there have always intimidated me, but I actually posted and didnt get flamed!!!

tadeedumm, dee dummm... I'm singing in the rain... ah... well, just in case people peek in here, thought I'd give a spoiler warning - - I spent hours at survivor sucks while this site was improving, and the Weezie Quartzeye post now have thier 'educated' guess for final 3, dont know if people want that much information or not, so I thought I'd warn you in advance!! They've also posted Chill One's website, where he gives a detailed chapter by chapter account of his adventures in the Amazon, and subsequent spoiler. Weezie and Qeye have plenty of pics, and sound like they made quite a few connections, but then again, one never knows!!

Reader...Just wanted to thank you for starting your post off with a spoiler warning. :) That is such a rarity around here. (And that is not a complaint...just an observation)
I have watched all of the reality shows spoiled and unspoiled and have decided that I like certain ones and things unspoiled. I also use new messages and that can spoil one unintentionally.
And before someone decides to jump in here...I take whatever shows I don't want spoiled off my new message list every season and rarely visit the board at all after a show airs ET until it is over in my time zone since spoilers occasionally pop into other areas. I wish I didn't have to, but such is life when one makes choices. :)

quick question to anyone who wants to answer. are we limiting all spoiling to this thread? which would mean no spoiling in the individual players threads? just want to get some clarification as there seems to be problems each season. thx in advance.

ITS NOT A GHOST TOWN!!! :) :) :)


Hi all!! I dont have a problem with leaving spoiling to this forum!

I think (and I have NO educated idea!!) that the m/f/m/f is awfully coincidental, but still after reading the thread on edgic (educated logic?) I think that has more to do with it, the "roles" the survivors play, than with their sex... cant wait to find out for sure!!

ompah lumpa boopity do..........
I like the idea of doing a silly line before each post here! Makes it EVEN more fun!!!
I too read a lot of the spoilers while this site was down. Don't we use this thread to help with our game picks? If so they are some spoilers out there for 1st 2 boots...should we say??
