Highlights of the recent interviews with Mark Burnett and Jeff Probst are linked below:http://www.survivorfever.net/Teleconference-Mark.html

Going through the interviews, we find that many of the contestants are mentioned. By some of the comments one might assume that JP and MB got to know some of the contestants better than others. Five cintestants are not mentioned in either interview:
Samburu not mentioned...Linda and Teresa
Boran not mentioned...Diane, Kim J.
Are these the people that go early or just "fly under the radar"?
Game logic would suggest that the first to go will be a weaker contestant that contributes little to physical challenges and is irritating, obnoxious, pushy or uncooperative...
If Samburu wins immunity, Diane or Kim J. are boot candidates.
If Boran wins immunity, Linda or Teresa are candidates.
One more thing worth considering: Jeff mentioned that "It's obvious who goes first this time...because we gave that person their face time....(its only fair). It's the drama of Episode 1 ....not who goes. Jeff thinks episode 1 is so good its not the bootee ...it's the human drama..."
So it sounds like Episode one has so much good stuff going on that who gets the boot is secondary. If they are not trying to conceal the "obvious" we should be able to find some clues between now and October 11.
Can we tell from the preview vidcaps who got the most face time? Is it one of the four candidates mentioned above?
