Since the season is more than month away, and information is incomplete, this is a preliminary post. When more information develops, I'll post the "formal" announcement.

Survivor: Redemption Island is the 22nd season of Survivor. It begins Wednesday, February 16, 2011 on CBS.
This season introduces a new twist:
From Wikipedia: When a contestant is voted off their tribe, instead of leaving the game, they are taken to the area known as Redemption Island. There, they will have to sustain themselves in the same manner as when they were with their tribe, living on limited food and water supplies and shelter. When the next contestant is voted off, they are also sent to Redemption Island, and the two people will face off in a duel challenge. The winner remains in the game, living at Redemption Island, while the loser is finally removed from the game. At pre-determined points in the game, the person at Redemption Island will have a chance to return to the game and be reunited with the remaining players in the game.
There is also a rule change. If a player quits during the jury phase, the producers reserve the right to not allow that player to serve on the jury.
Here is a video from last season's finale where Jeff Probst explains the twist.
This season takes place in the same location as last season: in the vicinity of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
CBS has announced sixteen of the eighteen players for this season. The other two players yet to be named will be "former castaways." The rumors are that those two players will be Rob Mariano (Boston Rob) and Russell Hantz - and that they will each captain a team (video). If true, this would be the third appearance for Russell and the fourth appearance for Boston Rob.
Ten of the sixteen players are from Southern California.
Ometepe Tribe: Andrea, Ashley, Francesca, Grant, Kristina, Matt, Natalie, Phillip
Zapatera Tribe: David, Julie, Krista, Mike, Ralph, Sarita, Stephanie, Steve

I am getting uncomfortable watching a lunatic as “entertainment.”
The only one insulted on last night’s episode was Steve, repeatedly accused of non-existent racism. That in itself is a racist charge.
I hope Phil gets voted off, soon. And I hope Matt keeps it together!!
So, we only have Steve and Ralph left from the Z tribe. Unless Steve wins II next week, he’s gone to RI. Then they are finished off with Ralph getting the boot. Then it comes down to the Os eating their own. First gone should be Rob, if they’re playing with their minds. If they’re playing an emotional game, then it’s Secret Agent Pink Undies heading out. Sure, Rob wants to keep Phillip around for the finals but the others have had enough of him and will probably revolt. After that, it’s a toss up with Ashley, Grant, and probably Andrea in the finals. With all the focus on the Robfather and his wacko sidekick, we haven’t gotten to know the other players so at this point who knows if we’ll like the winner this season or not.
I doubt Matt will outlive Mike and Steve next week, but here’s hoping Matt gets to live long enough to challenge Rob and beats him.
I agree with all of that.
Another preview clip indicates a surprise twist. What will it be?

My Money is on Ralph taking the walk to RI tonight.
And Mike takes the “Trual” with Matt in second sending Julie to Ponderosa to chat with dave.
I should add that I don’t like the “trual” idea on RI where two say and one goes.
I think this gives Matt a better chance to get back in the game.
I must be psychic and just never known it until today. :)
Ha, good one girlscout.
Mine was pretty good also except I didn’t noddle out the second IC and vote off.
Steeevvveeee.......
It was a given that either Ralph or Steve would go, just didn’t know they both would go in one night. Russell must have put a hex on that tribe when they voted him out. The girls missed a prime opportunity to further themselves. They are now in the position where they deserve what they get. Still no one knows that Rob has the HII. I wonder if they’re going to try and make a big move next week. May 15th is the big finale night. Redemption Island must be getting crowded right about now. I can’t figure out how that’s going to play out. Do you think more than one person will be brought back into the game?

Depending on how it plays out it looks like a RI survivor is going to win the million.
Is the RI winner going to be slid in just in time to make the final three?
So it’s the RI winner and two people who voted everyone off? Jury, jury, whacha’ gonna’ do?
The Robfather Pagonged the Zapas, but now they’ll have to start eating each other. It won’t be pretty. Let’s just hope Phil doesn’t blame his expulsion on race. It’s a game Phil, a game.
There just may be a Redemption player in the final three. I still want to know what the casting call for a Matt double was all about. But sorry, Matt, you’ve got to get yourself together if you’re going to be in that three. How rich will it be when the Robfather is sitting on the jury and has to cast his vote for the guy he sent packing not once but twice. You just know he’s getting worried about it. But I bet Matt only lives to be reunited and, as the fates would have it, immediately gets sent home a third time.
Thank you, Granpappy’s Spirit for sending Phil’s shorts back. I seriously don’t think the howler monkeys could have stood another couple weeks of those pink undies.
So, who’s the next boot? Grant? He’s the likely one if the girls look around to see who’s going to dominate the challenges. They should be gunning for Rob but he has an II. If he plays it next week, then getting his right hand man is the way to go. That weakens the Robfather and the II will be out of play. However, the girls won’t be playing with their heads but with their hearts and set their sights on their biggest annoyance, Phillip. Rob won’t like that and push for them turning on Andrea but I think these gals are smart enough to stick together at least for the next couple weeks.
If Grant wins immunity, he’s safe and will make it to the final three and may win this thing. There will be more guys on the jury so they will vote for the guy. The gals don’t stand a chance because the jury will decide they just got there riding on Rob’s coat tails so aren’t deserving.

Grant may win, but I don’t think it will be a boy/girl thing.
With all the Zapas that will be on the jury they own the decision as to who the winner will be. I think their vote will be more about voting against Rob — who had an unfair advantage throughout the competition and orchestrated their demise — rather than FOR somebody. Unless....
IF a RI person makes it to the final three — I think that person is a slam dunk. And if Matt makes it to the final, he should be a unanimous winner. To be voted off twice and STILL make it to the final would relegate Rob to the joke status he is.
Matt would win hands down if he made it to the final three. No question. But I figure his days are up and he’ll lose this next time or the time after.
From the previews, it looks like Rob’s days are also numbered. He better use that II next week. It’ll be Phillip out next week, Rob the following week and then Nat. That’ll leave Grant and Ashley, and probably Mike from RI.
Grant will probably win this season despite the jury being dominated with Mike’s tribe. Eww, he’s looking more and more like the caveman commercial dude and he’s not even in makeup.
Whew, Rob was exhausted last night. It pays to stay hydrated. Lounging around in the beach chair for three weeks didn’t help.
