Survivor; Panama "Exile Island" (Official Thread)

January, 9, 2006 | Cuz it aint their money

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

Stranded on an island off the coast of Panama,
16 strangers must live together and
compete for the million-dollar prize.

This time, the castaways will begin their competition as four tribes:
older men, older women, younger men and younger women.

At least one Survivor each week will be banished
to a separate island miles away from camp.

How will this change the game?
Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast all others?
Don’t miss a single episode of:

SURVIVOR; PANAMA “EXILE ISLAND”

premiering Thursday, February 2nd at 8 pm ET/PT.

[Texas2step]

So therefore, my updated ranking of most to least favorite seasons would be:

S-1 “Palau Tiga” (a.k.a. “Borneo”) (I think the first season is always the best, even though the fat naked gay guy won, and Jeff Probst was a rookie.)
S-10 “Palau”
S-7 “Pearl Island”
S-2 “The Australian Outback”
S-11 “Guatemala”
S-9 “Vanuatu”
S-4 “Marquesas”
S-3 “Africa”
S-6 “Amazon”
S-5 “Thailand”
S-8 “All Star Survivor” (a.k.a. A.S.S.) (I don’t think anybody actually liked this one.)

For the most part, it looks like Survivor is better now than it was in most of the earlier episodes. With the exception of S-8, the last 5 Survivor's are in your top 6.

Other than Guatemala, I haven't seen those, so my top list would look something like this:

S-11 “Guatemala”
S-2 “The Australian Outback”
S-3 “Africa”
S-1 “Palau Tiga” (a.k.a. “Borneo”)
S-6 “Amazon”
S-4 “Marquesas”
S-5 “Thailand”


I've watched S-1 through S-6 on OLN. Unfortunatley, it looks like OLN is going to skip S-7 "Pearl Island" and go straight to S-8 All-Stars. :-(

Good morning fellow FReeper and FReeperettes,

Its Thursday so you all know what that means… Its time for your weekly

SURVIVOR PING ! ! !

The spoiler websites are abuzz with speculation, rumors and some downright bazaar claims regarding tonight’s premier. Among them, the castaways will gather and immediately be divided into the four tribes and be given their buffs. Jeff will then inform them that the Reward Challenge will be a 2-day race through the Panamanian Jungle to a dock where a boat will take them to their respective islands based on their finishing place in the race. The last place tribe will then immediately select one member to be “banished” to Exile Island until the tribes are called together for the Immunity Challenge.

We next see the various tribes around their respective camps, building shelter, gathering water, attempting to make fire, all the normal stuff. From the vidcaps of the previews we can identify everyone at the various camps with one exception. Which leads us to believe that Misty is our first banishee to Exile Island. Which would mean that the Bayoneta tribe finishes last in the initial Reward Challenge.

The Immunity Challenge appears to be a combination of swimming, diving, rowing, digging in the sand, tossing rings, etc.etc.etc. If the production holds true to form, the race will finish with the lighting of the tribal torch and raising of the tribal flag. It appears from the vidcaps that the Bayoneta tribe again finishes in last place.

Well, there you have it:

”Cuz’s weekly Survivor Picks!”

Reward Challenge Losing Tribe: Bayoneta
Banished to Exile Island: Misty
Immunity Challenge Losing Tribe: Bayoneta
Tribal Council Bootee: Misty

I’ll be back, bright and early Monday morning with my recap. Till then,

Take care,

"Far better it is to dare mighty things,
to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure,
than to rank with those poor spirits who
neither enjoy nor suffer much
because they live in the gray twilight that knows
neither victory nor defeat."

[eyespysomething]

[GottaLuvAkitas1]

Shane Powers reminds me of "Joe Dirt" with that Mullet look he has going on.

[MotleyGirl70]

Can you send me a ping tonight (7:00) when you start posting.

Thanks :)

Game on!

[Central Scrutiniser]

Got a local guy on the show this time, Nick, from Tempe from his bio, he is an Ayn Rand fan, so that could be good, at least he has a brain. I gotta vote for Dan, anyone that does 3 shuttle flights is charmed (one guy, Franklin Chang Diaz did 7 shuttle flights!).

Hopefully the country singer or the yoga dude or the performance artist gets the boot. Really don't want to have to live with them for the next 13 weeks.

[fanfan]

Can't wait to see the old geezer tribes.

By Survivor's definition, "old geezer" means you're 35 and up, LOL
