PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Swim to the Island, or Swimming Challenge?" |
First off:Hello everyone. I've been reading this board since the Outback, but never got the motivation to post before. But in a desperate bid for attention, I will now begin posting. It's customary for newbies to excuse themselves in advance and beg not to be flamed for future mistakes, but because of my charming personnality I think this is unnecessary Anyway... back to my first spoiler. There's been some talk that maybe the Survivors would swim to the island. However, on this vidcap: someone, (Erin?) is clearly holding an oar, and apparently uses it to dig an hole or trench. Assuming The Evil One doesn't have a "dig ditch with oar" challenge, this means that the Survivors will go to the island by some sort of boat or raft. So, vidcap: either shows someone swimming alongside the raft or boat when they go to the island, or it was shot during a challenge. It would make sense as the production crew would probably cram as many water challenge at the beginning, since the later part of the game occurs during the monsoon season, and it would be both boring to see Survivors get wetter than they were before, and also more dangerous (swimming during thunderstorms is risky at best). Any thoughts? Lost Soul

It would make sense as the production crew would >probably cram as many water challenge at the beginning, since I think this is clearly Helen -- and she is a swimming instructor, so it makes sense that if someone has to swim along side an overloaded raft or boat -- she'd be a good choice (especially if it's men vs women and therefore some of the stronger women are forced off the boat.) >since the later part of the game occurs during the monsoon >season, and it would be both boring to see Survivors get wetter >than they were before, and also more dangerous (swimming during >thunderstorms is risky at best). I agree with this, but the thing to remember is that from what I understand monsoon season is marked by RAPID, HEAVY rains -- it might rain buckets for two hours, but then it quickly clears, so maybe it isn't as much a challenge factor as we might think. -SB

Jeff DID say that the game starts in a whole new way, and when asked on the 13th about being delivered by boat he said "it's deeper than that" That could possibly mean they had to swim to shore......Every other survivor has had them dropped off fairly close to the location either by boat, bus or plane. The other obvious assumption, would be a water challenge or combo of water/land challenge to determine teams? What do you all think?

Or maybe the tribes are imprisoned in the two former prisons, and have to escape en masse before being allowed to go to their camps! Oh, wait, that's another show already.Actually, I think Probst might be refering to the start of the program being in the fishing village before the teams are selected. ARRRRRRR!!!! "If all machines were to be annihilated at one moment, so that not a knife nor lever nor rag of clothing nor anything whatsoever were left to man but his bare body alone that he was born with, and if all knowledge of mechanical laws were taken from him so that he could make no more machines, and all machine-made food destroyed so that the race of man should be left as it were naked upon a desert island, we should become extinct in six weeks." (Samuel Butler, "Erewhon")
