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.

[HELLRAISER II]

I think it had something to do with that girl that accused the Black Guy of humping on her while they were sleeping, but like you said maybe i've killed a few to many brain cells as well because I can't remember either. I call it the CRS syndrome aka Can't remember $hit syndrome.

[MAGEE]

All you avid fans are making that program more interesting for me. I keep getting mad at Jon every night and when Rupert was booted, I felt terrible, but he will have a say in who wins the big prize right?

Do you think we should put the nine democratic candidates on that Survivor set and let's see who comes up da winna?

Well we know the best liar wins. har har that would be a problem with these folks.

[cuz_it_aint_their_money]

BOY! And I thought I killed too many brain cells with grog!

That happened TWO seasons ago! During Survivor; Thailand. Last season was Survivor; Amazon.

Oh well, CHEERS!
BARKEEP! Lets have another round! :~D

[PoisedWoman]

Thanks for the odds on tonight's show. I'm not so sure that Christa's going down. Remember how strong she was with those buckets on her shoulder....she's a contendah for immunity. But I didn't read the spoiler, sso what do I know?

BUMP

"Do you think we should put the nine democratic candidates on that Survivor set and let's see who comes up da winna?"



I don't know if we could stand seeing those butt-ugly folks half-nekkid.

[MAGEE]

Thanks for the reminder - it would be too awful!

Just lost my appetite!

[mystery-ak]

Well, let's see what happens this week...I really don't care who wins now, after Rupert was voted off....I just want to beat the living tar out of Jon, he's by far the worst contestant they have had on Survivor so far.....his family should be so proud!

[mystery-ak]

the three least deserving win...

[HighWheeler]

Yup. Jon winning is awful, since these women seem to be completely stupid and gullible. He'll work them both over and they will comply. The only explanation for their behavior is that they WANT to believe that the slime would not lie to THEM. Idiots.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Very high "Ick!" factor tonight.

[mystery-ak]

God, I hate Jon...these women are soooooo stupid...the 4 women should team up and vote these guys off.

[HighWheeler]

I can't believe it, I came back to the 'puter to post EXACTLY the same thing.

[HighWheeler]

If tonights posts are an indicator, not too many people are interested in watching this anymore. It is just so repulsive.

[mystery-ak]

I just can't understand how these women don't see through them...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I think that there has been some very fancy behind the cammera scrambling so that the final four is two males and two females so I doubt an all female final four. But that would be so sweet this time.

Once again it has become about who I dislike least.

[stands2reason]

The four women are the MAJORITY, yet it's all whiny wimpy "We Jon and Burton told me they'd pull us along" bullskite.

Christa is stabbing the only person she can trust in the back.

I'm ashamed that these creatures share my sex.

Darrah--"I know Jon lies, duh, but I know he tells the truth too."
No, he tells you what you want to hear.

[stands2reason]

And Burton trusts Jon, too.

[stands2reason]

Lil should change her name to Patsy.
