"About the "treasure"..." |
Okay, I have no idea if this is being discussed anywhere else, and if it is, I'm sorry. Feel free to lock, etc.Anyways. Why do I not think the treasure is their clothes: Unless MB wanted people walking around in other people's clothes, he wouldn't do this. There is no way to know 1) Who will be voted out and 2) Who is going to be on which tribe, especially with all the talk about the twist, etc. Also, if they don't have the treasure found by the merge, it's bye-bye clothes. If one tribe finds it, but people have already switched tribes, there will be a few people running around in their clothes, and others falling out of their boxers. And certainly there wouldn't be a challenge with the reward being some people getting their clothes. Would MB really be this cruel? *thinks a second* Okay, nevermind...

I don't think it is their clothes because we saw their bags on the boat with them. I don't think that MB would have people quickly burying the chests and clothes while the tribes are arriving on their islands. It was probably all done in advance. There could be some very generic clothing items in the chest. But I do not believe they are their clothes. More likely at the merge they will all be given a swimsuit or some other flimsy article of clothing in case people's clothes have disintegrated and are falling off. We can't have the last half of the show with everyone blurred out.

"We can't have the last half of the show with everyone blurred out."This is MB, remember? But wouldn't the castaways themselves get sick of it? We only have to see their blurred naked bodies for one hour a week, but their fellow tribe members are out there 24, 7. Anyway, kidding aside, I've thought since day one, he's GOT to give them some clothes (bathing suits, anyone? Auction? whatever . . .) eventually. I like the logic above that it can't come from the Treasure Chest. Good deduction; it probably just contains blankets, food, whiskey, or maybe real treasure like money, jewels . . .

It wouldn't need to be rushed or done at the moment of arrival. They all had matching small bags next to them while they were on the boat. Jeff also said they had more luggage below. If these small bags carried what they had originally packed for the stranding then the crew could collect them and put them in a container as soon as everyone was off the boat. The spot where they are buried would have been chosen and the maps created well before the show started. The production team then had the time the tribes were shopping, the first IC, and the first RC to bury them without worrying about a survivor seeing. They could probably do it any night as well.

I also have been lurking for a few seasons and wanted in on the fun. I noticed it said they RECOVER a treasure. Doesn't that mean it is something they had at one time?

Welcome to Blows, Magic Fingers! Glad you could join us.While MB and company do sometimes carefully select the words they use, and deciphering exactly what they meant can be a very valuable spoiling tool, it is important to consider the context as well as the specific wording. "Recover" is a traditional term used when hidden, buried or submerged treasure is found, regardless of whether the treasure-hunter ever previously possessed that treasure. I don't know what the treasure is, though, and you may be right about it being something they previously had. But their personal possessions which were left on the boat are the only thing I can think of, and there is also the hint that the treasure might not be all that was desired. I can't imagine any of these players being disappointed by recovering their own property. On the other hand, whiskey is also mentioned in the same promo, and Osten sure was packing some good hootch that he had to leave behind at the start of the game, so it could be that the treasure turns out to be the double-edged sword of this here pirate story, Aye! ARRRRRRR!!!!

These folks went through physicals prior to filming. MB probably has a good idea of size, if not an exact one from whatever questionnaires they have to fill out. There could be general type clothing - shorts, t-shirts, raincoats.

Newbie here. I saw a picture of Morgan that was supposedly "THE definitive proof" of what was in the treasure chest. Scuba stuff and of all things 2 pool floats! Andrew was holding a knife and had a life vest on. Osten had floats around his arms. There was at least 1 scuba tank sitting off to the side and I believe Tijuana and Darrah had masks. To me it looked 'doctored' but someone swore it wasn't. I just can't find the picture again to look at it!

14. "Food in the Chest" |
At the games first reward challenge Jiffy gave the tribes a key and a shovel to keep to look for the chest. He also said inside the chest was a "bounty" to last the tribes a very long time. Possibly there is meat or spices in the chest.
