If anyone posts something on this board that spoils this game for me--the way someone posted that Lill would be in F2 without warning anyone--so help me I will crack skulls.

Selfish posting on this board ruined the last Survivor season for me--but I'm giving this another chance.

He's right guys. This is not in the spoiling thread. If you have any inside info,which I seriously doubt,post it under a spoiler thread warning.

half the people on S7 were predicted to be in F2 or F4 at one time or another, and you are upset that one of them was correct? How about the early spoiler that a Hispanic women wins? How about the spoiler that a man with a beard was the winner? Why do you even pay attention to these messages if they bother you so much? Almost everyone is polite enough to post in the correct place and when they do they use the doo dah stuff. I read these boards as diligently as anyone and no way could I sort out who the F2 were going to be.
Wasn't all this spoiling or not spoiling discussed ad infinitum about a month ago? <il>

Bastable, I understand what you are saying. The Sucks board is feeling the same way. They are free to let it rip over there and some of the posts are hysterical. Many posters are threatening far worse if any spoilers leak to the other side.

The consensus here and on Sucks seems to be that no one wants this one ruined. Several have traveled to Panama to spoil for this and all are prediciting that they will return with enough info to predict the entire season. I fail see the fun in that.

I don't want to know and I keep coming back because discussing what **may** happen next is half the fun. Marquesas had no spoilers and the threads were alive with strategy talks and predictions.

I've got no problem with speculation--that's the fun of posting. Guess away!

I do have issues with anyone who slips a genuine spoiler into a regular conversation. The Mods have been commendably proactive in trying to keep this from happening this season, and I truly hope it works. Otherwise, why risk coming to the Survivor area--just to be told the ending?

We had some end-of-season spoiling going on in the "Tonight's Show" spoiler thread in S7. Now, many of us want to know what's going on in that night's show but don't want the F2 ruined for us. I'm really happy to see the creation of the end-of-season spoiler thread, just to make a distinction about what's fair game and what isn't. Yay! An encouraging sign.

i agree about speculation being different than someone with production leaking a genuine spoiler. (i hope these people get caught and fired and have to pay back their salaries 10-fold!)
i love to try and figure out what a preview means or who might have an alliance, but i enjoy it when it's all 'guesswork', not a done-deal. hearing jenna won really made me mad. hearing sandra won really made me mad. at least sandra worked at it whereas jenna did nothing as far as i could tell, but i was disappointed sandra won! and you know why? because i heard from day one that she was the winner and that CBS people were voting on her. for that reason alone, i wanted someone else to win so i would discover this show really WAS full of surprises right to the very end... why watch a show if you already know the outcome 3 months down the line?
not as much fun... IMO.

I'm not trying to stir things up...but at the top of this page, it says "spoilers" in red. This makes me think that there could be/are/will be spoilers on this page.

Also, I found this page from another page that said "spoilers" and that this was the area where spoilers could be posted and discussed.

Happy, the Mods moved this thread into the spoiler section, so spoiler info is ok here.

Some of the comments above were made BEFORE this thread was moved into the spoiler section

Mike declined to go. He is into religion since he fell into the fire. He and his family are doing well but I remember he had another accident a year or so ago. Elizabeth also declined because she was up to be the host for the View and she got it. Several others also have commitments such as Colleen is doing a movie.

Some have moved on with their lives.

Jiffy said that the problem with putting together the cast for ASS was that they all now have agents.

When your on Survivor you sign a contract for 2 years. What it entails I don't know but you have to be at their beck and call for that amount of time.

The problem with ASS is exactly that.. they all have agents, some of the best ones have moved on, none of them are FRESH.. of course I'll watch ASS happily, but I think the concept of all star anything, or celebrity anything is whacked.

I say - Go Kathy! She was F3 with Vecepia & Nell & totally deserved the win over either of those 2. Kathy is the woman I want to see get far. I still would love a Colby/Ruppert F2.

I want Kathy and Shii Ann to team up for the green team (see unofficial, unconfirmed teams grid prepared by halfunit), Rudy and Rupert for the blue team and after the merge they will joine with Alicia and put everyone else OUT OUT OUT.. Rupert will keep them fed, Rudy will just be Rudy and no one will elicit finger waggles from Alicia who will instead dance with joy and rock in competitions.

Well that may have provided the clue to the "romance"..


Quote:

Morasca has few complaints. She's become close to Ethan Zohn, winner of "Survivor: Africa," although she's hesitant to say they're dating because their relationship "didn't start off normal."

How are the teams usually announced? ARE they even annoucned anywhere? I usually just find out by looking on the website, however for SAS, perhaps there'll be more excitement surrounding it, and more publicity?

They'll be officially announced Monday on The Early Show....Which is confusing because I would think they would have announced some of them during the playoff game they have on Saturday night (they have the late game in primetime, and Tennessee at New England...which should be good)The new season's site could go live before then, however...

Here is another Jeff article:

PRE-GAME WARMUP
Get Ready for One Hell of a Survivor Season

It's no secret that we're about to be hit with the best season of Survivor in history. I, for one, am on the edge of my seat. I do, however, hear a lot of people say they could care less. There's a weird vibe floating around this show. I'm not too sure why. But it's gonna be good and anyone not watching, I'm convinced, is missing out on good television.

This season will be dynamic, dramatic and full of controversies that, not only have the contestants storming away angry, but the bosses ready to move on as well. The anticipation for All-star was huge. The excitement among the finalists for a spot was strong. But now that everyone is back, I'm hearing they're all singing slightly different tunes! I'm being told the contestants feel "it's all come full circle" and that the show could potentially not be good for them.

A "connection" told me that host Jeff Probst "was over it all not long into the game." Apparently the drama, the diva tantrums being thrown and the attitudes of the contestants "sucked the life out of him." This is not a pleasant group of people to be around for long periods of time, that's for sure.

As the first episode approaches, I thought I'd tease you a bit. You all seem to like that. Over the course of the next 13 weeks or so, here's a little bit of what you'll see that you probably didn't know.

STAR TREATMENT
I've seen a clip of the opening of the show. This time, don't look for intense dramatic suffering as the contestant battle their way to their camps. Stars don't suffer, right? There has to be perks. Look for a simple, yet very dramatically edited military escort to their new home. This time, they are escorted, not stranded. Look for a red carpet beginning to the worst suffering of their lives.


WELCOME TO THE GHETTO
The Survivors were asked to jump off a boat about five feet from their island. No taxing journey to the new home for this group. They arrive, however, in ghetto fashion--ONE machete and ONE pot per tribe. No food. No water. No fire. No tools. No rope. Nothing! And it stayed this way, for some of them, for more than three days.


I QUIT! ME TOO!
Inside sources tell me that Jenna Morasca leaves the game fairly early due to her mother's death. This has been widely reported. However these same sources NOW tell me that Jenna is not the only one. There is a second contestant that reaches the boiling point, throws up their hands and angrily leaves the game. The situation that produces this exit will get strong emotional reactions from everyone watching. I'm told it changes the game, therefore something that can't hit the cutting room floor. They have to show it. I'm slobbering waiting for this episode! You should be too. You'll never believe who leaves and what causes them to leave. NEVER! I could tell you, but I'd never spoil it for you!


FIRE IN THE HOLE
Rumor has it "The King" gets busted smuggling matches. How, you ask? The answer: in a container shoved up his bum. We'll have to wait and see if this is true. But I'm told his tribe works diligently for a long time to get a fire started, only to fail. While no one is looking, King Richard squats by the soon-to-be fire spot and "POOF," flames in an instant! This launches two contestants into a hunt for matches, which they eventually find! How it plays out is a mystery, but from what I hear, it's quite a dramatic moment.


FASHION STATEMENT
After arriving at the holding area, just prior to beginning, production went into the contestants' rooms and hand-selected what each Survivor would wear in the game based on what they brought along. All their belongings were taken away. Some people were allowed long sleeves and long pants. Others were only given tank tops and shorts to wear. Imagine the tension this caused on the frequently COLD, COLD, COLD nights! It's tough to sleep freezing next to someone who's warm.


HOME SWEET HOME
Once again contestant loved ones make the journey to the Survivor set to participate in a challenge. After arriving, one popular Survivor's loved one was promptly sent home, I hear. Tough way to learn your favorite Survivor was voted off the night before, huh? The loved ones were apparently grilled about their ability to run, swim and dive prior to arriving. I'm anticipating family members fighting for their loved ones' immunity, in a very physical challenge. But this info is sketchy, so I could be wrong.


PRETTY BOY POUT
I've been told to look for a major pissy diva temper tantrum thrown by Africa winner Ethan Zohn. I'm told he will be very embarrassed at his behavior when America sees it.


CAMERA SHY?
I doubt it. Sources tell me "The Colbster" played the role of loner, avoiding the cameras and keeping to himself. I'm told, like others out there, his heart just wasn't in it. Was it that, or a concerted effort to avoid another layer of "reality stigma." Whatever the case, for those contestants that were rejected and would have killed for a spot, casting people who's heart wasn't into it sucks.


THE NEW SURVIVOR WEAPON
History! This game was not meant to be played by people who know each other, apparently. All of these contestants (from their games or from their out-of-game relationships) have a ton of baggage and history with one another. This dirt becomes very public as the contestants use it in order to disarm their threats. Look for the Robfather to continue his strategy of "creating loyalty through fear." I'm told his strategy was to rummage through potential contestant closets, find their skeletons and store them in his back pocket, ready for war. Though not the only one, he crossed the ethical line the most.

Sources inform me that in this game of Survivor, the contestants will be divided between those who truly want the money and play intelligently to get it, and an opposing camp of Survivors playing to the camera, with the money secondary. It's agenda vs. strategy in this group. And something tells me, strategy wins out!

For some strange reason, it seems the buzz I'm hearing points to all-star Survivors NOT looking forward to the airing of this show. Many of them want it aired and over. That tells me this is good.

I may be writing more throughout the season, maybe not. But I can tell you that I will be covering it for the TV Guide Channel. So keep your eyes on the station for my weekly Survivor: All-star update. I promise to hold nothing back. Ya'll seem to like that.

But Jerri is not on Rich's team is she?
I am trying to remember who is one his team that would tell.
And who would quit??? After the whole Osten thing it's hard to believe someone would dare try that again. At least Jenna had good reason.
