Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water is the 29th season of Survivor. It begins Wednesday, September 24, 2014 on CBS at 8/7c with a special 90 minute episode.

It will be held in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, the same location as Survivor: Nicaragua and Survivor: Redemption Island.
Contestants include the controversial former major league baseball player, John Rocker; and twins, Natalie and Nadiya Anderson, who competed twice on The Amazing Race.
Coyopa Tribe (orange buffs): Alec, Baylor, Dale, Jaclyn, John, Josh, Keith, Nadiya, Val

Hm, hard to get a handle on this crowd.
you know the rest
Dale and Kelly - father/daughter - seem like good people
Drew and Alec - brothers - party boys who will team up with the largest set of floaties they see.
Jeremy and Val - spouses - he's ok but she seems a bit out in lala land
John and Julie - spouses - I'd never heard of him before the thread today on him going off about NYC. I like him. She's a pampered trophy wife so unless she shows better than her bio, she can go home asap.
Josh and Reed - the token gay couple (Mark didn't learn his lesson from Colton) - PLEEEEEEEEZE boot Reed first! Ick. They won't be it wouldn't be PC.
Jon and Jaclyn - dating - some people just need slapping
Keith and Wes - father/son - the seem ok and the son sounds funny
Missy and Baylor - mother/daughter - dunno
Natalie and Nadiya - TWINS! (spoken in a loud screechy voice again and again and again) - scratch the previous early boot hopefuls and boot them 1st and 2nd.
If you don’t care...then F off!
So sick of assclowns showing that they DO care by saying that they don’t care.
Re Colton R.I.P. Caleb. http://www.people.com/article/caleb-bankston-survivor-dead-railway-accident-train-derailed
Yes, really sad about Caleb.
However, Colton was a piece of work.
Chill out and take a deep breath. *Please*

We come here because we like Survivor. If I misread / misunderstood your discussions with others (#5 here and the previous thread) then I apologize. I just want to enjoy this Survivor thread and not have to witness in-fighting. You’re a Survivor regular, I enjoy your input on the show, please don’t drag outside negativity into this. Thanks! Have a blessed day. Looking forward to enjoying the season with you.
Thanks, GS. I appreciate your comment. Just for the record, the negativity inserted itself in post #5. My response was intended to chase it away.
I get tired of people coming on the Survivor thread just to dis the show...which is what that person was doing. If they really don’t care, they should just keep their mouths shut and ignore the thread.
But I promise to behave...just for you. ;-)
I don’t regularly watch TAR so I’m not familiar with the twins. Having watched their profile video I can see where they would be very annoying.
Thanks for doing the thread, once again.
Blood vs. Water Gets Another Twist: Loved Ones Square Off With the Return of Exile Island
... This season also marks the return of Exile Island (last seen in season 18, Survivor: Tocantins), where each week two loved ones square off against one another in a battle that will send the loser to isolation on Exile Island, while the winner receives reward for his/her Tribe. However, the winner will also have to choose a tribemate to accompany their loved one to Exile Island...
... However, there is a silver lining in the form of a clue at Exile Island to the location of a hidden immunity idol back at camp. “The good news is you at least have a shot at finding the immunity idol,” says Probst. “And it’s up to you if you want to share that there was a clue or not. The complication is, that clue will lead you back to your beach where the idol is hidden, so you’re going to have to dig it up while everybody else is there. So nothing’s going to be easy this season, but I really do believe that the game play is ratcheting it up so we have to ratchet up with it, so we’re trying to complicate it as much as we can.” ...
If you want added to or removed from this ping list, please let me know.
One would think with the millions of dollars it takes to create the series, Mark would have had the foresight to have extra players in the wings.
I'm not sure about the twist in Exile Island. Talk about hard feelings. Will have to wait and see how it works out.
It’s m pleasure, LG. I’m sorry that I can’t give the in-depth analysis that my predecessors gave, though.
However, you folks provide that, thankfully. :)
I missed that point when I read it. Sorry. I’m with you though! I too get really tired of others popping in and trash talking the show. Please disregard my original comment and feel free to kick some ass. I’m not myself lately, otherwise I probably would have kept my mouth shut. Hoping for an enjoyable season ... no repeats is a good start!! :)
No problem, GS. We’re both Survivors. ;-)
