ARRRGGGHHHHHHH!
AVAST Me Mateys!
Shiver me timbers & Blow Me Down!
All hands on deck!
Heave to & strike the mainsail!
This here's Captain Cuz bringing you scurvy scallywags the latest in Survivor news!
ARRRGGGHHHHHHHH!

Well ping-ees, it’s that time again!
Mark Burnett Productions has once again permitted 16 media whores to ply their trade just to bring us a few hours of blissful enjoyment. So without further ado, here is what your intrepid Captain Cuz has come up with so far.

During the final show of Survivor 6: The Amazon, Jeff Probst provided the following voice over for the first Survivor 7: Pearl Island Promo:

This Fall, 16 new Survivors journey off the coast of Panama, to a land steeped in a bloody history of piracy.

A hidden chain of more than a hundred tropical islands, located in the blue-green waters of Central America. These are the PEARL ISLANDS. It is a place of ancient riches, with a turbulent history of looting and plundering. The ruins of Spanish forts and sunken ships are monuments to a violent and infamous past, where the deeds of pirates like Drake and Morgan are legendary.

In these Panamanian waters lurk some of the most exotic and dangerous marine animals anywhere in the Pacific Ocean. Schools of sharks, sting rays, dolphins and sea turtles thrive in a spectacular world beneath the sea.

And our Survivors will begin their adventure during the migration of the humpback whale. For the first time, each tribe will have its own island and the marooning will be unlike anything experienced by the previous Survivors.

Who will outwit, outplay and outlast all the others to become the sole Survivor? Find out this Fall as the adventure continues in the Pearl Islands.

Well, you just knew that with all the Survivor Junkies out there in Webland, it wouldn’t be long before someone came up with some pictures about the Pearl Islands, and here are a few I have selected from the many out there in cyberspace: Photos courtesy of claycritters.com

Here is a brief “History of the Pearl Islands” – (an excerpt from SurvivorFever.net)
These islands have a long history as they were the first islands to be explored by Spanish Conquistadors. In fact the most famous conquistador and the person who gave the Pacific Ocean its name, Balboa, lived on these islands after having crossed the Panamanian Isthmus. He chose the islands because the weather was cooler and the mosquitoes non-existent.

After Balboa left, the islands were a center for pearl divers and the greatest of pearls, La Peregrina was found off their shores.

La Peregrina was given to Queen Mary Tudor by Philip the II of Spain in 1554; later the pearl ended up in the hands of Napoleon the III and today Elizabeth Taylor has the pearl in her possession. Richard Burton gave it to her as a Valentine's Day gift in 1969. Who knows maybe there are more such pearls to be found? In the 20th century the Pearl islands, especially Contadora were developed into vacation spots for Latin Americans and Europeans.

.

Well intrepid ping-ees, that’s just about all Captain Cuz has for now.
The show will debut Thursday, September 18th, 2003 at 8 PM EDT.
And hopefully, the official Survivor Website will list the contestants sometime next week.
If so, I’ll be back next Thursday with the bios of the players.

Until then, feel free to post your own spoilers!
And remember, don’t take any wooden doubloons! Har Har Har!

P.S. Remember to Freepmail me if you want on or off the Survivor Ping List.

VH1 is showing a Making of Survivor this week that is pretty interesting. You will have to check your local times for listings. Nothing about the new show but a lot of interesting little tibbits about how they come up with some of the concepts and things like that.

I read somewheres that on the current "Big Brother"...a pair of contestants had sex on camera..Is this true?..and if so..can Survivor be far behind?..after all.the envelope has to be pushed farther and farther.....for the ratings, no?...Will Captain Morgan's RUM get a product placement?...

The NEXT Survivor has got to be Bagdad.....

Okay, I remember seeing the story. I think it was on the 24 hour internet feed of "Big Brother" that people pay extra for, and wasn't on the show. Am I remembering right?

Tremendously tacky behavior though, and in my opinion, should be grounds for dismissal.

But they do have the nicely formed chick with a thong, so life can't be too bad.
