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 think RI belongs in the trash can.....

But that’s just my opinion.

I think the “real” players need to gang up on whoever comes back and vote them out immediately.

This season got lucky with Andrea. If she would have talked the two other girls into flipping and it was a three girl final three I think she would have won hands down.

The old underdog comeback sympathy vote from the jury.

I'm on the fence about it. They have shortened the ending which gets pretty slow when it usually gets down to the last three. I was surprised they dropped the usual burning and goodbye round in remembering each of the contestants that played the game. And then it was more quickly ended and on to New York. What think you?

I hate those “entrapment” proposals.

It is very disrespectful to the woman being asked, I think. Perhaps not intentionally, but it does not show a lot of empathy on the man’s part.

She either gets to say “yes” or humilate a guy in front of a ton of people and make herself look like a jerk.

I wish they’d go back to the format of Season I so we could get to know the contestants. Now days, I don’t care about them and certainly don’t remember them because they aren’t being introduced to the audience anymore. I remember everyone from the first couple seasons but can barely name half of the ones on last night.

Thanks EveningStar for doing a great job of hosting this site. I’m one of the odd ones out and was glad that Rob finally won the million. Now he can go away and do whatever comes next in his life. I wonder who the 2 returning players will be for the South Pacific? At least we know it won’t be Rob or Russell or Richard Hatch. :)
