In a SURVIVOR first,
10 ultra-fans of the series will take on 10 former castaways to compete as
FANS vs. FAVORITES.

The two tribes will be marooned amidst the Rock Islands of Palau, Micronesia.

The skills of the former castaways will be put to the test while the tribe of first-time competitors will see if their enthusiasm and passion for the game is enough to distinguish them as worthy competitors.

Who will prevail to become Sole Survivor?

[PeteB570]

Oh, when are they ever going to learn.

Can hardly wait until tonight.

Such trips allow him to connect with Survivor fans in the heart of America, many of whom express their likes and dislikes. "That kind of feedback is helpful," he says. "But there is a certain dark sense of what we should make the contestants do. They want me to be more mean and give them less food."

True. It's not real physical survival if they're constantly eating. I don't think Mark should give them rice 24/7 but I do wish they'd go back to how the very first episode was.

cuz, In the Ponderosa clips, Jason says he gets to keep the hidden immunity idol. He even showed it hanging in their bathroom. Do the producers make another one for the remaining survivors to find?

Yep! The producers have many HIIs just in case the players are dumb enough not to play it when they should. At least that is the general consensus of all the other spoilers over at the Sucks and Survivor Fever websites.

OH, THANK YOU Natalie for sharing your underarm hair.

Actually, that was kinda....

Never mind.

[Lee'sGhost]

I miss the old Survivor where they got real people. I don’t care if any of these people win OR lose. But I’m watching anyway.

[Lee'sGhost]

OK, I’ll pull for Amanda bec she’s the hottest woman left and isn’t completely obnoxious.

[Tatze]

I agree! Go Amanda!

[Lee'sGhost]

Damn. Amanda just gave away the fact that she.........won’t say for those on the left coast. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Lee'sGhost]

Yes, yes, yes.

You go girl. Finally, somebody played the game right.

What a beautiful smile.

[Shyla]

Finally, someone to root for.

Until the last three weeks, this one was a sleeper.

Go Amanda!!!

[PeteB570]

Now that was a pretty slick HII play.

I ain’t got it and dump the bag to prove it.

Then a great acting job during tribal council.

You go girl.

[Tatze]

“Perfecting the art of the blindside.”

[JillValentine]

Well, after a two-week trip in the wilderness, I had...

Never mind.

[RobFromGa]

That was perfectly done by Amanda. You can see by watching the jury reaction that she is probably the winner if she can get to the final vote. That makes her target #1 for everyone. Cirie is probably the second strongest with the jury.

If Erik and Natalie have any brains, they try to get Parvati to go with them and get rid of Amanda and Cirie in any order. Parvati should know that she can’t beat either Amanda or Cirie and be willing to take her chances with Natalie and/or Erik. That’s how I see it anyway.

This has been a Great Season I think, and I’ve watched every episode of every season.

[Lee'sGhost]

Yes, well done

[JillValentine]

Surprising to see Erik win the shooting challenge. Usually women are better at that.

[RobFromGa]

What I didn’t understand is— what would have happened if one of them “accidentally” hit the others target?

If it would’ve counted as a hit, then the should have picked which one of them they wanted to win, and all shot for that persons targets. Erik wouldn’t have had a chance.

[Lee'sGhost]

As I’m sure you noticed, Jeff’s “high powered rifle” was nothing of the sort. Seemed to be compressed air or spring action, probably compressed air. Very doubtful that the projectile — which you could easily follow with your eye — would hit the exact same spot twice even if the “gun” was bolted down.

I think it was more about being “on line” with the target and luck than the ability to aim.

[girlscout]

Thankfully none of them thought of that.

My ideal final two is Amanda and Erik. Neither has made any enemies on the jury (that I know of) and both are likeable now.
