I thought I would create a spoiler thread for now so we can talk about things we have read or noticed without being lambasted for posting anything in General Discussions that could be considered spoiling.

Seamonkey said she heard there is a first-- a real romance on the show.

All I have to say to that is please let this NOT be Jenna M. and Colby! They are rumored to be on the same tribe!

Also, I hate to say this, but I bet Rupert did not make it too far in ASS. Last night I thought he looked like he had put some weight back on, which, if true, does not bode well for his longevity in ASS as it would have wrapped up mere days before last night's reunion. That to me says he was booted with plenty of time to fill back out. Hopefully I am wrong. I do like Rupert and would like to see him go further.

My real question is whether Jon let something slip last night or if he was just being Jon. I think he was just being Jon, but it made me pause.

I though that the look Jeff gave Jon when he said something about maybe his grandfather dies is Survivor All Stars, was saying, "You stupid MF, you know your not suppose to talk about SAS." Which if Jon is on SAS, then the websites with lists are possibly wrong. They don't even have Jon listed as an alternate.

I will say this again, I said it once on the Pearl Islands All Star Thread, but I think the thread should be change to the correct title of the show. It is "Survivor: All Stars" (SAS) not All Stars Survivor (ASS).

I tend to think Jon was pulling our leg and is NOT in ASS. He totally looked like a pimp (the look I have no doubt he was looking for) on the Early Show. I don't think he got the laugh he was looking for when Harry asked him if he hated or liked women and he replied something like "I love women. Preferably 3 or 4 at a time." What a dork!

SAS or ASS, does it really matter? I think we are all mature enough to deal with a thread that has the initials ASS in it. Wouldn't ya feel like a grade schooler if they changed it?

A couple of months ago Survivor News Net started calling it ASS to be funny and that nickname just kind of stuck. It is used all over Survivor boards on the internet now. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's fun. Most of us here get a kick out of calling it that and I, personally, would prefer to leave it be.

I, too think Jon was just pulling our leg. But, the interesting thing is they started taping ASS before the big lie came out, so he could pull it off again (if he were in the show). According to Jeff, none of the Pearl Island survivors knew about the lie until it aired, so even Rupert wouldn't know.

Rupert may not have known about the lie but he certainly can put 2 and 2 together.

Dont you think Rupert would wonder if Jon was told of his grandma's death on Survivor: Pearl Islands and then told of his grandfathers death on Survivor: All Stars?

That being said. I don't believe Jon is on All Stars

OK, the only things that CBS or MB have confirmed about All Stars is that they have 18 Survivors, 14 episodes, and the top prize is still $1Mil but the lower prizes are more.

I have heard speciulation that there will be 3 tribes of 6. I have also heard that there are 2 tribes of 9. The only scenario that works with the 14 episodes is the 3 tribes of 6.

With 2 teams of 9 Doesn't work
Week 1 - 18 becomes 17
Week 2 - 17 becomes 16
Week 3 - 16 becomes 15
Week 4 - 15 becomes 14
Week 5 - 14 becomes 13
Week 6 - 13 becomes 12
Week 7 - 12 becomes 11
Week 8 - 11 becomes 10
Week 9 - 10 becomes 9
Week 10 - 9 becomes 8
Week 11 - 8 becomes 7
Week 12 - 7 becomes 6
Week 13 - 6 becomes 5
Week 14 - 5 becomes 2 (Doesn't work, should be 4 becomes 2)

With 3 teams of 6 Works with a Recap Episode and Merge at 14.
Week 1 - 18 becomes 16 - Two teams voting out someone
Week 2 - 16 becomes 14 - Two teams voting out someone
Week 3 - MERGE 14 becomes 13
Week 4 - 13 becomes 12
Week 5 - 12 becomes 11
Week 6 - 11 becomes 10
Week 7 - Recap episode
Week 8 - 10 becomes 9
Week 9 - 9 becomes 8
Week 10 - 8 becomes 7
Week 11 - 7 becomes 6
Week 12 - 6 becomes 5
Week 13 - 5 becomes 4
Week 14 - 4 becomes 2

Can you tell I am really bored at work today? LOL.

I would love to see 3 tribes of 6, just because 3 tribes has never been done (except when the ghost tribe came back in S7!)

WOW........this didn't take long. The first time I go looking for a spoiler thread for ASS and you guys are already here. NEATO!!!

I was going to say I thought Rupert looked too healthy and well-fed last night to have won ASS, but I see Hermie already had the same thoughts.

I've also heard 3 tribes of 6 ....

"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."

And there are two alternates since 20 were actually selected, I think. Jenna's mother passed away, and she came home so (1) she was allowed to come home and go back (I doubt that very seriously) (2) She was already evicted and released to come home or (3) she elected to drop out and one of the alternates got to go in maybe!!!???

Editing to put this potential breakdown in:
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

I love Alicia, Shii Ann, Kathy, and Boston Rob (I'm not sure which of those Robs he is). I know it is heresy, but I could live the rest of my life without seeing Rupert, Ethan, Tom, Rudy, or Lex.

This should be fun. If the teams are accurate, they have done a good job of plotting this out. I am really happy we don't have to see Vecepia, Brian, etc.

These pics in the link below show much better pics of Rupert. He does look slimmer in comparison to Jon.

He does, actually. In the pictures above, he looks slimmer and more muscled. I dunno. I just got the impression last night that he looked too healthy and well-fed for someone who had lasted 39+ days in Survivor conditions. I would love to be wrong!

well while were talking about potential schedules...

Here's a list of all the possible Thursdays (and a few other days) between the premiere on Feb 1 and the end of the season:

February 1 (a Sunday premiere date-not in Sweeps)
4 (SWEEPS)
12 (SWEEPS)
19 (SWEEPS)
26 (SWEEPS)
March 4
11
17 (A Wednesday- March Madness
basketball that Thursday)
24 (A Wednesday- March Madness
basketball that Thursday)
April 1
8
15
22
29 (SWEEPS)
May 2 (SWEEPS-a Sunday-possible finale date)
6 (SWEEPS Thursday)
9 (SWEEPS-a Sunday-possible finale date)
13 (SWEEPS Thursday)
16 (SWEEPS-a Sunday-possible finale date)
20 (SWEEPS- Thursday, last Thursday
of season)

So there are 17 possible weeks to show 14 episodes.....however, CBS has made it clear that they have NO intention of trying to challenge the Friends final episodes, which are yet to be scheduled. If they go with what they have been doing, the finale will be on a Sunday night. Also, while it might be 14 episodes, an episode might be two parts, such as the Outcast twist this season (they call it one episode because it covers the same 3 day cycle like normal, but took 2 hours to show)...so it could be more than 14 hours. They also have some play in the schedule if NBC decides to pull something and air the Friends finale earlier...but I think it will be the 20th for that, to give them as many Sweeps showings as possible. So the absolute ending date for the season will be May 16th.

Sounds about right, that way they cover both Feb and May sweeps and will start the next Survivor for Nov sweeps!

Rudy, Rupert, ShiiAnn, Kathy are the ones I am happy to see again.. maybe Alicia, maybe not.. but definitely she's tops on that team for me.

Alicia is my girl. I am rooting for her all the way! I will turn you into a fan, Sea.

Sucks already has some weight loss spoilers. Jenna Lewis was spotted in LA very skinny, tan and bug bitten. Rudy, Tina and Rob C looking very healthy on a sight seeing vacation after the wrap.
