Survivor: Nicaragua

Posted on 09/15/2010 2:53:14 PM PDT by EveningStar

I will be handling this thread on a temporary basis only, and as time and health permits. You people are used to - and deserve - more. Hopefully, someone more qualified will step up and take this over. :)

Survivor: Nicaragua is the 21st season of Survivor. It will moving to Wednesday nights this season. In fact, it begins tonight, September 15, 2010, 8/7c.

The theme this season will be Young vs Old. The players will include a former NFL coach (Jimmy Johnson) and an amputee triathlete champion (Kelly Bruno).

From Wikipedia:
Survivor host Jeff Probst, has also announced that the Hidden Immunity Idol will continue to be used in the game. However, as idols have been found too easily the past two seasons (most often by Russell Hantz), or as the show's producers have dubbed it, "The Russell Factor", the idol will be hidden differently. The clues to the idols' locations will be visual rather than written as in past seasons. In addition, the tribes will be vying for control of a new item, the Medallion of Power, that, when used, gives an advantage in a challenge, but is then transferred to the other tribe.

Let's meet the players.

Here are photos of the players.

Listed below are links to player profiles. They include a video clip of the player, which is, unfortunately preceded by a short - but annoying - ad.

I take blame. My posts reflect my mood at the time and don’t know who I affect when I rant. I’ll take responsibility for being an ass. LOL...Sometimes I review my posts and think to myself “what the hell?”. LOL..

I just thought it was funny that someone went out on a limb and endorsed someone and they turned out to be an idiot. Kind of like our political dilemma.

Here's something extra for you. Let's have some fun between now and Wednesday.

Survivor Immunity Idol Clue 1

Can you decifer the clue? Give it a try.

"The Russell Factor" has changed the way immunity idols are now handled on Survivor. Take a look at the first clue: Notice that instead of the riddle as used in the past, the clue is pictorial:

Immunity Idol possession - Espada: Clue not yet found

Immunity Idol possession - La Flor: Alina & Kelly B found clue but have not yet deciphered it.

This is a new, under-construction, Survivor ping list. The old list is no longer available, so I would appreciate it if any of you could ping interested parties to this thread. Thank you. :)

If you wish to be added to or removed from it please let me know.

I will be handling this thread on a temporary basis only.

Immunity Idol Clue 1:

What's in the cave? Is there a skeleton in/on the cave or if X marks the spot then why is that the first? Is there a ship in the ocean. The ship is upright so it's not sunken. Is that last one the Tree of Life or what's with the root system? Ok, so here goes - At the bones in the cave, walk 23 paces toward the shore directly into the sun at sunset and it's at the tree? OR read from right to left, which makes more sense - stand at the rooty tree facing the sun as it sets/rises depending on which side of the island the ocean is on, and walk 23 paces to a mound dirt or rocks which marks the spot.

Treemale is pretty easy to spot out there. The 8 under the x could easily be 18, or more likely, 8 with the x marking the spot. The three math lines are telling a substitution code that’s likely the next close.

The ship+arm and sunset... It’s also possible that shiparm would mean something different with a substitution code.

Me, I’d dig 8 paces west of the treemail and likely find the hidden immunity idol.

My guess:
"X" + "Cave" + "8" = excavate
If "E=V" and "J=X" then "H=W" (the 23rd letter)
The arrow is pointing to the "yardarm" of the ship, therefore "Yardarm - arm" = Yard
The sun is setting in the west (and they are on the west coast of Nicaragua)
The last picture is a mangrove tree
Therefore...
Excavate 23 yards west of the Mangrove tree.

But like I said, it's just a guess.

That’s an arm and an arrow? I wondered what that was. I zoom in and it’s all pixel-y so can’t see really what’s what. Still can’t see what’s in the cave or mound or whatever it is. Mangrove tree is probably right. Ok, good to know they’re on the west side to determine the setting/rising sun. Better luck to y’all.

I used to be all into picking apart the show back in the first seasons, but between the 14 year olds over at the Survivor S. site and the boring Africa season I got a life. Oh, well.

Ok, so they’re reving up the clues for the II so they may have to wait to collect more clues or wait for an event before proceeding. Looking at this season’s logo, there is a ship (which we’ve yet to see or I missed it) with three sets of crossed (X shaped) swords, what appears to be three mangrove trees, a setting sun, two volcanos, two monkeys, a lizard, two fleur de lis (two lilies - of Frence origin so that makes no sense), and the ocean.

Over at the CBS site (linked), there is a picture of a hill/mound/whatever that looks very much like the cave/mound/whatever thing on the clue along with the setting sun. If you moved the camera angle, I wonder if the driftwood would mark an X on top of the hill?

Your logic makes sense to me, Cuz. And I sit here groaning, as I used to be quite good at those things, 30 some years ago. This is why, of course, you’d never be permitted to play Survivor.

Actually, the reason I would never be permitted to play Survivor is due to the fact that being an overweight, balding, nearsighted, 54 year old, grandfather of four, doesn't fit their idea of "one of the beautiful people".

I've also been told that the "V" and "X" could represent roman numerals "V = 5" and "X = 10" which also means that since E is the 5th letter and J is the 10th letter, and H is the 8th letter, the missing "?" would be H = VIII.
Which would make the clue "Excavate 8 yards west of the Mangrove tree (or possibably the "Male Tree" i.e. treemail).

Two comments:

“Can Jimmie Johnson hold his team together?”

What?! Who made him leader? This is exactly why it was a mistake to put him on the show...CBS projects his real life into the Survivor experience, giving him credibility he doesn’t have as a Survivor. PLEASE vote him out ASAP.

And Tyrone: “I’m gonna keep one eye on her and one eye on my shoes.” LOL! Definitely a future trivia question.
