SURVIVOR - PING

As always, if you want on or off the ping list, FReepmail me.

2 days, 7 Hours, 5 Minutes (+/-) till Survivor: Thailand!

Well FReepers, as I said in my last epistle, the Survivor discussion websites are buzzing with all sorts of speculation regarding the first episode. Here are just a few of the comments being bandied about:
“It’s gonna be the men against the women. Why else would Jeff P. tell them Men on the right, Women on the left?” and why else would Ghandia say “We’re gonna kick the men’s butts?”
“No, I saw a vidcap showing both Ken and Steph at the same camp, wearing the same colored buff”
“Well, I saw a vidcap showing three different colored buffs which mean that there will be three different tribes.”
And so on, and so on.

Well dear friends, here is what I have seen.
I have seen different vidcaps of men and women wearing the same colored buffs.
I have seen, different vidcaps of men and women working at the same campsite.
And I have seen different vidcaps of two or three men together and vidcaps of two or three women together.
What I have NOT seen are any vidcaps (other than entire group photos during their arrival or during a challenge) showing both men and women together.
Hmmmmmmmm???????
Does this mean that it’s gonna be men against the women?
Does this mean that it’s gonna start out with the men against the women, but later change into two or possibly even three different tribes?
I’ve even toyed with the idea of them pulling a totally random tribal switch-a-roo/mix-up every three days in order to avoid any alliance building.

Only two things are certainties:
1. Mark Burnett has stated that this season of Survivor will be completely different than any of the others, with all new challenges, and that the first episode will surprise everyone.
2. The only vidcaps that anybody has seen are the ones that Mark Burnett has allowed to be aired.

Now regarding my original predictions:
I’m beginning to think that Shii Ann, is a little too “mouthy and pushy” for everyone else’s taste, so she might not make it to the Jury.
The same goes for Ghandia.

Then again, it could just be Mark Burnett throwing us more Red Herrings. We’ll see.

I’ll get off my soapbox now and let someone else have a say.

Enjoy,

ok, so I am a low-life, but which is the one we see in the commercials with the MAJOR HOOTERS!?

The Survivor commercials are always misleading. You can't take them at face value.

Regarding the number of tribes, two tribal names have thus far been released - Sook Jai and Chuay Gahn.

I also don't buy that the challenges will be brand new. In S2 and S3, they had a game where each tribe member had three plates hanging from a tree. Contestants were given slingshots, and they had to shoot down the other people's plates.

Come S4, they simply replaced the plates with coconuts and the slingshots with knives. But it was essentially the same game, you had to eliminate all of your opponents pieces. They can dress these games up any way they want, but I still think they're gonna be the same. In fact, I fully expect for them to eat something disgusting on day six.

Due to the popularity of the Survivor shows, Texas is planning to do its own, entitled: Survivor, Texas Style.

The contestants will start in Dallas, travel to Waco, San Antonio, over to Houston, and down to Brownsville. They will then proceed up to Del Rio, onto El Paso, then to Midland, Odessa, Lubbock, and Amarillo. From there, they'll proceed to Abilene, Ft. Worth and finally back to Dallas.

Each will be driving a smoking '92 pink Volvo wagon with a bumper sticker that reads:

"I'm gay, I'm a vegetarian, I voted for Al Gore, and I'm here to confiscate your guns!"

The first contestant to make it back to Dallas alive wins.
