That tribe #3 is going to be something. Both Robs and Sue... Amber will be nonexistent again. I wonder how they decided who went where.

Should be interesting.

Yeah,why Amber? Couldn't they get someone a little more interesting? I'm surprised Mike from Australia(?),isn't on the list. And dumb old Jenna,we all hated her,why is she back? bleh
The empty box at Snewser's site has Christine written on it,I can't think of another Christine from Survivor,other than Christy.

Final player is Tina Wesson (winner season 2).
So four winners in the group (Richard, Tina, Ethan, and Jenna)

OK - here's my very early list of the order they will go:

Richard
Tina
Jenna M
Ethan
Jerri
Rudy - I do hope he sticks around longer but I don't see it happening
Amber
Shii Ann
Sue Hawk
Alicia
Boston Rob
Kathy
Tom
Jenna L
Lex
Colby
The Other Rob
Rupert wins!

I reserve the right to change my picks when the season airs! :)

Hmm...if those are really the tribes, I think Jenna or Jerri would be out first from Tribe #1, Jenna out first from Tribe #2 (unless Rich forms an alliance with the women to take out Lex and/or Colby), and either of the Robs out first from Tribe #3. I tend to think Tribe #2 would do the best in challenges.

I think I'd most like to see Lex win. :) But I don't think it'll happen. I can see Kathy, Shii Ann, or Amber winning it for some reason...maybe just because they don't seem like they'd be obvious targets at all, so they'd last.

I also don't understand why Amber's there. I'm not thrilled about certain contestants making the cut (tired of Jerri, not a fan of Jenna M., etc), but Amber just seems out of place. I guess she's the token wallflower. Probably doesn't hurt that she can be eye candy for many of the male viewers.

I had to search all the seasons just to figure out who Ken was. He was definitely the most forgettable to me! Sorry, Carrie, LOL.

the teams seem rather homogenous...
Team one.. the nice guys
Team Two... the comepetive cutthroats
Team Three... The big mouths with accents
Unless team two eats each other alive, which wouldnt be surprising, i think the other teams dont have much chance against them..
I just feel bad for Kathy.. She is very competitive but should really be with the Nice guy team..She will go nuts with the people on her team..

what happened to matthew, the cool psycho guy that Jenna beat.. he deserved another chance.. and Christy of course...

Watching Jenna will be tough, but at least Heidi wont be there, or Cavepie...

what jeffy had to say:

Of those cast members who demanded things to participate in the all-star edition, host Jeff Probst says, "Well they can stay the f--- home."

Operation All Star
The cold war with spoilers begins once again. Despite SEG's military style operation to cloud the top secret activity on the islands, some light is still poking through. (And they would have gotten away it with it if it weren't for these darn kids!)

In a recent article published by The Age in Australia, Mr. Burnett mentioned that the host country for All Star Survivor (ASS) is going so far as closing down the air space and waterways, as well as getting the contestants there under the cover of darkness. Mark, we almost thought you had stopped caring about us.

Effective November 3rd, airplanes are prohibited from flying below an altitude of 5,000 feet in the vicinities of the islands Saboga, Chapera, Mogo Mogo, Gibraleon, Casaya, Casayetta, Boyarena, Bolanos and Bayoneta. Navigation restrictions also went into effect around Chitre, Saboga, Chapera and Mogo Mogo.

Without violating the restrictions, snippets of action can be observed from the right vantage points using high powered binoculars.

Our All Star castaways sporting clean, new buffs got moving early on Monday, November 3rd to start the game. Here is a breakdown of the information we believe to be true:

Tribe Colors: The three tribal colors are reported to be Blue, Green and Red.

TDT map

Tribe Islands: The Blue Tribe is on Saboga. The Green and Red Tribes are sharing the island of Mogo Mogo.

Tribal Council: As previously reported, TC is reportedly located at Playa Suecas on the island of Contadora.

Challenge Islands: For now, we have confirmation that Chapera will be used for Challenges again. There might be other islands as well.

Losers' Lodge: If the activity and night time lighting is any indication, Survivor will be using the island of Perico again to house the booted players.

Twists: We do not know what the twists will be for ASS but with three tribes of six players (18 total) and if the game is only 39 days as usual, the course of play is bound to be unconventional if they're to finish on time, but more importantly keep these seasoned players on their toes. We believe that the first Tribal Council on day 3 involved only one tribe, however.

To the best of our knowledge, here are how the three tribes breakdown:

Blue: Ethan Zohn, Rudy Boesch, Rupert Boneham, Jenna Lewis, Jerri Manthey, Tina Wesson
Green: Richard Hatch, Colby Donaldson, Lex Van den Berghe, Jenna Morasca, Shii Ann Huang, Kathy O'Brien
Red: Rob Mariano, Rob Cesternino, Tom Buchanan, Alicia Calaway, Amber Brkich, Susan Hawk



We do find it an intriguing mix. But could Green Tribe's horses Rich, Colby, and Lex be stopped in challenges? Stay tuned...

'Survivor' kicks off on Super Bowl Sunday New: All stars, mystery locale


By Gary Levin
USA TODAY


Get ready for another Super Bowl/Survivor Sunday.

CBS this week will announce plans to premiere the eighth installment of its hit reality series following its Feb. 1 telecast of the Super Bowl, TV's top-rated event.

''It worked like gangbusters when we did it with the second Survivor,'' says CBS president Leslie Moonves. Survivor: Australian Outback's premiere averaged 45 million viewers and kept eager viewers tuned in to the lopsided game's fourth quarter and post-game show. ''Why not continue the streak? This was pretty much a no-brainer.''

The latest edition features ''all-stars'' plucked from the first seven Survivors. It includes 18 contestants, up from the usual 16. The show will air 14 original episodes, up from the usual 13. And while the jackpot remains $1 million, the total prize pool is increased: The first contestant voted out will receive $25,000, a tenfold increase from the first loser's prize in other editions.

CBS and producer Mark Burnett wouldn't discuss the players or location of the all-star edition currently in production, said to be on an island near Panama that's adjacent to the one used in the current Pearl Islands series.

But Survivor Web sites say the list includes previous champs Richard Hatch and Ethan Zohn, along with standouts such as Rudy Bosch, Susan Hawk, Jerri Manthey, Colby Donaldson and Pearl Islands breakout Rupert Boneham.

''We were simply casting for the most memorable characters we could find,'' says Burnett, though two contestants he hoped to cast declined his offer.

''Because they've all played before, their whole mantra is to expect the unexpected. So their own imaginations are doing them in more than anything I might do.''

Several all-stars wore three layers of clothing after seeing party-dressed contestants in the current edition forced to walk the plank and begin the competition much sooner than they'd expected. ''What makes Survivor work is keeping people off balance. They literally were on edge for days.''

Still, to compensate for their experience ''I made it much, much harder,'' Burnett says, by offering no rations and tougher immunity challenges. ''They got kicked in the butt from the very beginning.''

Moonves predicts the all-star Survivor will attract more fans than usual ''because people have their favorite characters. The downside is we're going to be up against the wind-down of Friends.'' He's taking no chances: Survivor will wrap a week or so before the Friends finale in mid-May.

Sad news. It seems that Jenna M's mom has passed away. I put some links up in the PI thread

After looking at the mix and the breakdown of who is going to be in stars you have to wonder. Do you suppose that season 1 and 2 have been out there in the real world to figure out their fame is fleeting? I just think it is interesting that the earlier casts are much better represented. That or it takes that long to forget the hell that is survivor?

In my opinion, and from what I've read, the first two Survivor's are the most fondly remembered. I would expect there to be more people from those two just for ratings sake. I know I'm looking forward to seeing Rudy, Jenna, Jerri, Colby, Alicia, etc....Maybe not Sue so much, but she does make a good villain

I hate to have to admit this, but I am going to have to go back to several of the shows to figure out who is who. I don't remember Jenna from Show 1 or Amber from Show 2. I can't seperate the Rob's either! Age sure does wear your brain cells smooth so stuff slides off!

Jenna was the young single mom with twin daughters, who was Pagonged by Hatch and his sheep. Amber, I believe, was Jerri's sidekick that she was always talking about sex and chocolate with. I don't know why Amber is on this, she was not all that interesting, but I guess she is the "hot girl". Don't feel bad, I don't remember a bunch of Survivors people mention on this and other boards. Maybe it is age, but I'm not even 30 yet, dammit! (well... almost 30... but, I'm still coming to terms with that so I'll just stop talking about it now!)

Edited to add: Did anyone see the preview of Survivor 8 on that countdown before Survivor? I always forget about those, I missed this one too. Guess I'll keep looking for a summary of the show.

Hey girls, on the inside even 63 doesn't feel a bit different than 30. Go figure? I guess it must be that we are stuck with the same old brain all of our life.

I am going to watch the audience tonight for the shots they do of the former contestants to see if there is a visible weight loss.

I'm surprised that they didn't at least show us a short preview of the show! I know alot of people who just watch survivor (from my dh work) towards the end and they hadn't even heard of the all-star season yet. You'd think they'd throw out a preview just to catch those types of viewers! Oh well, I'll just have to wait a few more weeks I guess, I'm sure the previews will be all over the place soon.

I think he meant that as he watched Survivor I, he wanted to be on Survivor.

At the end of the news blurb with interviews of S7 people (see S7 general discussions) the interviewer plugged ASS.. said about it starting after the SuperBowl. She said you just might see "some" of these people there.. and she also teased that there would be a first.. a real romance on the show..

I had read this interview awhile back and found it again listed on Survivor Fever, it was in the Knoxville News. I was especially interested in the comment by Tina which I put in bold.

CBS (again) announces 'Survivor' all-stars
By TERRY MORROW, morrow2@knews.com
May 19, 2003

And they really mean it this time.

Oh, those wily folks at CBS are announcing again that an all-star edition of "Survivor" is set. It's supposed to debut in February 2004.

I'll bite, and pass the news along to you in this column. However, don't kill the messenger.

CBS announced a year ago that they were going to do an all-star "Survivor," reuniting past winners and old favorites. It was reportedly going to happen this past winter.

As we all know, it never happened.

In fact, "Survivor" host Jeff Probst told me in January that he thinks an all-star "Survivor" might be a while off.

So here they go again, saying that this special version of "Survivor" will happen. Here I am, asking our local "Survivor" winner Tina Wesson what she thinks of it.

Like she told me a year ago, she's nervous and eager and going through all those emotions.

"We're going back," Wesson confirmed for me.

"I don't look forward to it. Once you've been there and you know what you will have to go through, it's a lot different than when you do it the first time and you don't know," she said.

However, "I do look forward to the adventure."

Wesson attended the "Survivor: Amazon" finale when she got word from CBS that the network was announcing the all-star "Survivor." The network asked her to stick around for the news.

Also attending were original "Survivors" Richard Hatch and Rudy Boesch.

A location and shooting schedule have not been announced. Wesson suspects they'll shoot it late in the fall.

Other reports are throwing around other "Survivor" favorites as Susan Hawk, Jeri Manthey and Ethan Zohn as potential players.

Wesson has not been told how much the prize money would be. Reports have said it would be $2 million.

Alliances are being formed. "Hatch told me on the red carpet that he already had a plan in mind involving me and Ethan," Wesson said.

"In some ways, you can have a plan, but I'm going to stick to my plan of talk less and listen more."

In 2001's "Survivor: The Australian Outback," Wesson won the $1 million prize by outlasting 15 contestants for 39 days.
