Inside Survivor has pretty much all the information as to what makes "Edge of Extinction" different than other seasons:
**************************************
http://insidesurvivor.com/rumor-season-38-theme-and-title-34310
UPDATED: 01/02/19: The Extinction Island twist will not be revealed to the entire cast up front. A player will only become aware of the twist once they are voted out. The players remaining in the game will not find out about Extinction Island until the merge when Jeff Probst brings out the eliminated castaways for their first opportunity to win their way back into the game. Think back to the Outcasts twist in Survivor: Pearl Islands to get a sense of how this might work. The winner of the challenge will reenter the game and join the merged tribe. The losers can choose to continue living on Extinction Island or quit.

Alginger, I never read the spoilers because I like to be unspoiled when I watch. Out of curiosity, were the spoilers last season pretty accurate as to who were being voted out each week and who the final 3 would be?
Thanks in advance!

Interview with Hollywood Reporter and Captain David Wright and the trick he has planned.
******************************
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/survivor-edge-extinction-david-wright-preseason-interview-1182784
Excerpt from the interview regarding his trick advantage idea:
"...create and deploy a fake advantage. Survivor currently exists in an era filled with many idols and other forms of advantage circulating throughout the game, including but not limited to players finding second votes, steal-a-votes, idol nullifiers, and idols that can only be played at specific moments in the game. For his new, nefarious plot, David wants to introduce a plausible sounding advantage, except it's anything but legitimate.
"We call it the 'Sole Vote' advantage," David says, giving credit to his girlfriend for helping hatch the plot. In advance of crafting the plan, he has come up with a pre-written set of rules a player would find when they discover this false advantage, sketched out in penmanship even the Survivor forgery team would have a hard time discerning. It reads: "Congratulations. You have found the Sole Vote Advantage. This allows you to cancel voting at Tribal Council and send home any person of your choosing. If you intend to use this advantage, you must reveal it at Tribal Council and announce who you are sending home before any votes are cast."
"I'm hoping it will create a rift between two people," David explains. "They can have their war, and I'll just be on the sidelines, like Littlefinger from Game of Thrones. I want to make some things happen that leave me safer than maybe I would be otherwise."
In terms of how best to create and hide the "Sole Vote Advantage," David has a few ideas: "It would be [made from] some kind of parchment or some kind of burlap from a rice bag. I would go off in the woods at night, paint it as best as I can, make it look good, get the centered font… and then I'd roll it up with some beads around it, and hide it either in the treemail hut, or maybe it would be fun if I'm on a reward with some other people and I can hide it surreptitiously in one of the bowls so someone can find it. I've also thought about tying it under the shelter, the way they've done with idols. Who knows? I'll have to figure it out while I'm out there."

If I understand this theme correctly, there may not be a lot of Ponderosa videos if they decide to stay at Extinction Island. Fortunately, this season didn't end the way production wanted it to so this will be the first and last season for Extinction Island.

That’s the way I understand if also, Lexie. Poster at Survivor Blows said they thought this may have been another idea to save on production cost.

I don't think it had anything to do with saving on production costs. I think this theme was to help one of Jeff's "four favorites" win the game (assuming they would be the early boots).

I agree with Lexie. I would think it would cost more to have additional crews at EI and loser lodge because some players can deccide to quit and not go to ei

This is from Whispers:
The first challenge will take place at the merge with the winner leaving Extinction Island and joining the merged tribe as a fully-fledged active member of the game once again. An important detail, however, is that the losers of the challenge will not be sent home – they still have the same option of remaining on Extinction Island in the hopes of another chance to return.
The second challenge is believed to take place around Day 35 – supposedly when five castaways are remaining in the actual game. The winner of the challenge will leave Extinction Island and rejoin the game, turning the final five into a final six. After this, Extinction Island is over, and the losers of the challenge will head to Ponderosa where they will become members of the jury.
All of this means that, feasibly, a player eliminated on Day 3 could win one challenge on Day 35 and get back into the game and join the final six.
Any eliminated castaway who chooses to stay on Extinction Island after the merge automatically earns a spot on the jury, regardless of whether they decide to quit after that point or not. That means if nobody quits (or is medically evacuated) pre-merge then the entire cast could be present at the Final Tribal Council – with 15 jurors and 3 finalists.
However, anyone that quits pre-merge or chooses to leave after losing the first return challenge will not be a part of the jury. Those people will permanently leave the game and take part in the pre-jury trip like in a regular season.

Ladeda.
In various posts on Whispers, Jim Early states that both David and Malcolm do not win. He hasn’t gone into much detail that I can see yet.

JE has said that the "twist" didn't work out the way production wanted it to so it sounds like none of the four captains make it to the end. That was the whole point of bringing them back and creating Extinction Island - to give them repeated chances to get back in the game and win. EI did not work out the way production wanted so fortunately this will probably be the first and last we will see of it.

From Dalton's blog:
"One last thing about Edge of Extinction. (There’s always a “last thing” with me.) It’s no coincidence that it is in play for a season with returning players. In fact, the whole reason Redemption Island was created was to make sure the producers got at least a few episodes with Boston Rob and Russell in case one of them was booted early — which is exactly what happened when Russell was voted out of his tribe first. Putting Edge of Extinction in play here guarantees them keeping Joe, Aubry, David, and Kelley on the show, even if they get voted out. Again, not an accident. Okay, now that we have all that out of the way, let’s get to…?

Okay, Survivor whispers has most of their spoilers on the podcast now.... not on facebook. I don't listen to the podcast. But, one thing Jim Early did say in comments to someone is that Aubry makes the final 3.

Julia was on twitter complaining about not getting a lot of air time....that makes me think she must go soon because if she goes deep in the game she wouldnt be complaining because she would figure they would start showing more of her later.
