PREMIERS THURSDAY
SEPTEMBER 15, 2005
8:00PM ET/PT

Well Freepers and Freeperettes, the premier is just one week away and the spoiler sites are abuzz with guesses regarding the first boot. Of course, no one knows for sure, but. . . NO I won’t say it. Not until next Wednesday’s ping.

But just to keep you interested, we now know what the tribes’ names are.

The blue tribe is Yaxha as seen in this vidcap:

And the yellow tribe is Nakum:

Also, here is another little tidbit of a promo:
From Entertainment Weekly #838/839 (Fall TV Preview):
If you thought the challenges would get easier for Survivor contestants after the brutal ones on Palau, think again. ''Our challenges are almost all land-based,'' says host Jeff Probst. ''With the intense heat, they will be tougher than Palau.'' With temperatures that hover at 110 degrees, and some of the nastiest mosquitoes in Survivor history, Guatemala poses a fearsome foe for contestants (including former NFL quarterback Gary Hogeboom). ''This season, if you are physically weak you will be in trouble,'' says Probst. ''If you cannot stand the heat, you will be in trouble.'' As always, their pain is our pleasure.

Well thats it for now. I'll be back next Wednesday with my picks for episode 1, so till then. . .

Take care,

FReepmail me if you want added to, or removed from the one, the only, Official Survivor Ping List.

''This season, if you are physically weak you will be in trouble,'' says Probst.

translation - we'll be looking at a male winner season.
Thanks for the ping.

FYI..one of my neighbors works for CBS on the news/technical side. He told me yesterday that corporate HQ is one away from making a last-minute change to Survivor....they're considering postponing the Survivor: Guatemala episodes until next season, and instead doing the ultimate reality show..

Survivor: New Orleans!!!!

The contestants will be dropped by helicopter into the Superdome, where they will have to brave alligators, toxic waste, insects, disease, snipers, newsmedia hordes, packs of stray dogs, while trying to find food and water to survive, they will have to exist on Hurricanes and stale begnets.
