I know the opening credits have been discussed A LOT, but I thought this might be worth mentioning if only to say that I think the past talk of fire/water might not be what's really important.I was just taping last night's Survivor for my husband (we're in Belgium and it airs the following afternoon and then again that night on our network here) and all of a sudden something caught my eye. It was Ted and Ghandia's pictures at first and then when i went back to replay it, I thought of a possible meaning. I'm hardly a spoiler and haven't paid attention to anything like this until this season (before I was just a big Survivor fan, now I like to look for little clues, too!), so this may or may not coincide with previous seasons' editing, but here goes:
By the way, I know most people tend to dismiss the opening credits spoilers, so I post this with that in mind.
Penny has very unique editing. She has that screaming monkey mask looking thing after her picture. But, she is also the ONLY person shown with a picture that does a zoom from one angle and then changes to another picture. Everyone else either has one or two stills that just switch with a simple change of frame and don't seem to reveal anything about the person. For Penny, in the first picture she is smiling (or at least looking sweet and innocent) and it zooms down (to the left, I believe...not that it's significant) to the second one which is Penny with a little smirk...very sinister looking.
Shii Ann, as we know has fire, since most everyone else has water, I think the fire means something, but obviously not the final three.
Brian has the fire and the star.
Ted has fire, but his picture also shakes. Ghandia's picture also shakes.
Here's what I gather from that.
The first three are or will turn out to be (in the case of Penny) the main characters. Brian is the narrator for CG, Shii Ann for SJ, and Penny, well...maybe she is the winner, maybe she is not, but I think either way she will definitely be a main character in the next couple episodes. The shaking images of Ted and Ghandia seem (to me) to symbolize the friction between the two of them (probably the worst in Survivor history...well, aside from nasty Sue and Kelly). That was a big part of the beginning of this season and a lot of people on CG seemed to have taken "sides" based upon that friction.
Basically, I think the opening credits don't really "spoil", rather they just say "these are the important characters" (for one reason or another). My guess is that the winner is most likely one of the three who are remaining from this group: Brian, Ted, or Penny (I hope not, but...).
Anyway, sorry so long. Just wanted to fully explain my thought processes/reasoning.
**btw, anyone wanna make my siggy transparent for me??? My gif program isn't working...boo hoo**
