The official Spoiler Thread. Usual disclosures; if you don't want to know, please exit the thread quietly now. Political discussions must be relevant to the game.

Episode 1 airs Thursday, don't forget!

The tribes:

Malakal (Favorites): Amanda, Ami, Cerie, Eliza, Johnny Fairplay, James, Jonathan, Ozzy, Parvati, Yau
Airai (Fans): Alexis, Chet, Erik, Jason, Kathy, Mary, Mikey B, Natalie, Tracy, Truck.

Opening - will involve traditional Kabekl war canoes. Tribes arrive in separate canoes, fans hit the beach first. Faves are then brought out one at a time to the rapture and applause of the Fans.

RC - Race through the water for 2 individual immunity idols. Jason gets 1, Ozzy has to be considered a favorite for the 2nd.

IC - Cart obstacle course/race. Dig up and assemble puzzle pieces to make wheels for the cart. 2 people ride, 7 move the cart, 1 brings the torch. Fans get a healthy lead early on. For the Faves, Eliza and Yau are the riders. Then disassemble the cart to build a wheel which is used to raise a flame and gain victory. The Fans win.

Boot - Jonny Fairplay quits in a huff after the IC. Not sure if there will also be a tribal council after that.

Look for Parvati and Yau to leave early - definitely pre-jury.

Wow, if the rumor about Fairplay is true, I'm sure even his haters will enjoy him this season.

I'm in heaven........Idol and Survivor.......what more could a girl want!!!!

Big Brother starts next week..... ANTM comes back after that and so does a new version of Pussycat Dolls.

ANTM?

I had to google it to figure out that ANTM is America's Next Top Model.

It doesn't sound like Johnny Fairplay will be around very long to enjoy.

And you call yourself reality tv fans.

Dazy - no, not nearly long enough to cause trouble. Word on the street is that upsets a few applecarts, for people who had figured on him either stirring things up or sticking by them.

Someone thought Johnny Fairplay would stick by them?

I saw ANTM and all I could think of was Auntie Em! Auntie Em!

Doesn't Top Chef start again really soon too?

They have been promoting Top Chef. I want to say it starts March 12.

Doesn't look like anyone else goes tonight.

There is supposed to be a big romance this season. Not sure when it will start but keep an eye out for that - it is a big factor this season and will get a lot of footage.

I'm sooooooo glad I wasn't the only one!

I'm so glad that Johnny Fairplay is gone. He was really mad because Yau got the immunity idol. I believe he thought he was going to be an early target because of what he did the last time he was on and decided to go ahead and get voted out earlier.

Looks like there will be more than one romance going!

It could be a steamy season.

The footage showed Ozzy seriously making out with someone, but I couldn't tell if it was Amanda or Parvati.

I really like Yau and I'm glad that he clocked Fairplay...he's a jerk and deserves it.

Did Yau really clock Fairplay? If so, I am sorry I missed that! Fairplay seems to only get attention when he gets beat up or arrested! He is a professional punching bag. I think before this the last I had heard about him was when Danny Bonnaduci laid the smackdown on him.

Yau shoved his head into the side of the boat when they were fighting over the immunity idol. Fairplay grabbed the wrong one, and then Yau jumped on him and shoved him into the boat and grabbed the correst one.

I'm sorry, it didn't really look like Yau shoved him into the boat so much as nudged him a little. Fairplay acted like it was overly aggressive, but it was nothing.

I agree BF - they were both going for the idol and Fairplay got knocked into the side of the boat. Strictly accidental.

Yau didn't do it on purpose, but Fairplay did get shoved into the boat when they both struggled for idol. Yau even apologized right after he grabbed the idol.

Of course Fairplay played it up because that's what he does, I was just glad to see him beat up a little bit. LOL

If the reverse had happened, do you think that Fairplay would have thought he (Fairplay) was being overly aggressive. I think not.

I realize that there are a lot of people that are glad that Fairplay is gone. However, I wonder what the producers are thinking? It seemed to me that Jeff was a little ticked off that Fairplay was basically quitting. I would almost bet my paycheck that the producers wanted him around for a while just to keep things stirred up.

You could be right Seadevil - the same way Trump keeps Omarosa around on the Apprentice.

OOOOOOOOOH...I am so glad I found this thread again today...
