"Fiji Twist Revealed" |
From TV Guide.comhttp://community.tvguide.com/thread.jspa?threadID=700016455 The tribes will be segregated by political affiliation! No, by sexual orientation! Actually, the plan for Survivor: Fiji, premiering Feb. 8, is to group the 19 castaways as one tribe equipped with enough supplies and resources to fashion themselves an exceptionally cozy camp. But come Day 3, one player will be called upon to split the one mass into two. The tribe which then wins the first immunity challenge lives large at the existing camp, while the other is relocated to a separate island with only a pot, machete and a water source. (Think The Apprentice: L.A., but with millions more viewers.) What's more, an immunity idol will be hidden at each camp, and Exile Island will now offer its visitor a clue to its whereabouts. I can see the promos now: "Fox offers you one Idol, but we've got two."

2. "RE: Fiji Twist Revealed" |
CBS ANNOUNCES 19 NEW CASTAWAYS FOR
"SURVIVOR: FIJI"
14th Installment of the Hit Television Series Premieres on Thursday, Feb. 8
CBS today announced the 19 new castaways who will compete in SURVIVOR: FIJI when the 14th installment of the Emmy Award-winning series premieres Thursday, Feb. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
SURVIVOR: FIJI will feature a diverse cast of Americans who will begin the series as one tribe with plenty of supplies and resources on their island to make an exceptionally comfortable camp. On Day Three, the castaways will be split into two tribes, selected by one of their own as a result of events to take place prior to the first Immunity Challenge. The tribe that wins the first Immunity Challenge will return to the camp of copious resources while the losing tribe must relocate to a new island with only a pot, a machete and a water source.
In addition, throughout the series, at least one castaway in each episode will be banished to a separate island (Exile Island) miles away from camp. The castaways will learn that there is a Hidden Immunity Idol located somewhere at each tribe camp and that a new clue to their whereabouts will be waiting for the latest person sent to Exile Island. Such a twist offers the opportunity for more than one individual to be in possession of a Hidden Immunity Idol at the same time. These Hidden Immunity Idols may be played at future Tribal Councils if the possessor feels they are in danger of being voted off the island.

3. "Jeff interviewed by the Slug" |
The whole interview can be found here:http://asapblogs.typepad.com/theslug/2007/01/jeff_probst_tal.html Here are some of the most interesting points: The Slug: So what's "Survivor: Fiji" about? Jeff Probst: The overall theme is letting them make almost every decision in terms of how this game will play out in the initial setup. That was the big idea. It starts with 19 people because we had somebody quit the night before, which has never happened before, so that threw us for a bit of a loop because we didn't anticipate an odd number. They're literally just put on a beach. They've got some fruit trees there, but that's it. I come over in a float plane and drop a box. And in that box they start to get the information. And the information is you're gonna need to build the most elaborate shelter "Survivor" has ever seen. Here's the blue prints, a building plan, a map to find lumber and tools. You've got a sink and a kitchen area and a couch, all kinds of stuff to build this elaborate shelter. They're told they have to finish this before the game can continue. They build this great shelter. They've got water and flint. Once they finish building it, I show up and say, "Now you're gonna figure how to divide these tribes up." They choose somebody to divide the tribes. That person divides them, and they square off in a challenge. The losers have to go to a new beach where they literally have a machete, pot and water they have to boil. No fire. They have a cave they can kind of get under, but it's miserable. The game is about one tribe living a life of luxury, and the other tribe really scraping to get by while the other tribe has it so good it almost doesn't feel like "Survivor" to them. They have a couch. They have tables. The tribe that wins the first challenge goes back to this reward, which is all these luxury items. They're not necessarily better. They just make life better like hammocks and umbrellas and bottles and decanters and all this silverware and plates and china and a bush shower. So you see them eating. It looks like some sort of Ralph Lauren picnic. The other tribes show up and they're dragging their butts because they haven't even had water. What was really interesting was how quickly you started to see the attitude change where the winning tribe started to have this sense of entitlement. It was fascinating to watch the rich tribe get lazy and entitled and the poor tribe get desperate and resentful.
Instead of having two equal teams, you have two tribes and one extra person. And what do you do with that other person? It played out just fine. The only drag is we lost a person, and it just affects your creativity a little bit. Where you maybe wanted to do a double Tribal Council and vote two people out, you can't because you just lost one. It has a little bit of trickle down, but when it happens before the show, it's very easy to move everything a little bit.
The Slug: There's more diversity in the cast again. Was that a conscious effort again? Jeff Probst: We started something in motion. Let's work hard to do it again. I think we're setting ourselves up if we think each season we can have an equal number from every ethnic group. There's already ethnic groups that aren't represented. You really hamper your casting if you say you have to have five people from a certain group. So I don't think that's something that has to happen forever. But I think (executive producer) Mark (Burnett) and CBS wanted to show that we didn't just do it as a gimmick. We really want to incorporate more diversity into the show. And we're gonna keep doing it as best we can. The Slug: Tell us about the Hidden Immunity Idols. There's two this season, but how are they used? Jeff Probst: I think we figured out how to do it this season. The very first time we introduced it, you had to play it before anybody voted. Then the second time we introduced it, you could play it after the votes had been made and read. So it was an absolute get-out-of-jail-free card. This season, I think we found the happy medium. You must play the Idol after the votes have been cast but before I read them. Before the votes, I say, "How confident are you? Do you want to take a chance? Or should you play your Idol?" That made a dramatic difference. The Idols get played. Nobody is sitting on their Idol until the end and taking it home as a souvenir.
The Slug: Do you have another "Survivor" in you?
Jeff Probst: Oh yeah. CBS has told us we're renewed. So we're working on "Survivor 15" right now

4. "thank you" |
for this and the slug post below.very informative. one person quit the night before! what a jerk! they'd better have a VERY good reason or millions who tried out are going to want blood! i think the leftover person from the tribes will be sent to exile first. the last person in the schoolyard pick. then whichever team loses and ousts someone will have the exilee replace the bootee. just my guess using the 'keep it simple' concept. ~ cqc

9. "RE: Fiji Twist Revealed" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-21-07 AT 08:56 AM (EST)Thought I would list a few additional twists and spoilers for Survivor: Fiji here as per Volcanic Glass. See her great spoiler page here at Survivor Phoenix... 1.The Survivors will be deposited on a lone beach where Jiffy will fly over head dropping a box with all kinds of instructions and maps to locate materials needed to build the most elaborate shelter Survivor has ever seen. There will be blueprints, lumber, building supplies and tools, as well as China, silverware, and many of the modern day conveniences... 2. Shelter must be built by day 3, when Jiffy arrives and instructs them to choose one among themselves to divide the tribe into 2. Per Jeff Probst, one tribe member will pick the tribes before the challenge.
That person will then be exiled, without participating in the challenge, then return to join the members of the losing tribe. 3. The tribe names will be Moto and Ravu 4. We have been told the exilee is a woman. From vidcap evidence, as well as tips received, we believe that she will be one of the following:
Cassandra, Liliana or Sylvia. So, in summary, it appears as if the spoilers are picking a woman to be in charge of splitting the group into two tribes, and then later exiled, to return to the losing tribe, ? before TC. The woman could be one of Cassandra, Liliana, or Sylvia.

10. "Survivor Phoenix "Picker" Spoiler" |
See Volcanic Glass' new update regarding the "picker" of the tribes at Survivor Phoenix,here. Note that she has received info that Sylvia will be the one chosen by the 19 to divide the group into tribes. She will be the first exilee and then be returned to the losing tribe.This would mean that Michelle would be on Ravu/orange tribe, while Cassandra and Liliana would go to Moto/green tribe. This makes logical sense to me. The architect should be the one to direct the building of the shelter...she and the civil engineer. In the vidcaps it indeed looks as though Sylvia is directing the work. It's logical that the group would choose her to direct the division of the tribes, imo.

11. "RE: Survivor Phoenix "Picker" Spoiler" |
TDT already has the tribal divisions as per SurvivorPhoenix, I think. They also have a couple of boot spoilers in there too in the Surviv-o-Meter.Moto: Alex, Boo, Dre, Edgardo, Gary, Lisi, Stacy
Ravu: Anthony, Earl, Erica, James, Jessica, Michelle, Mookie, Rita, Yau-Man
Unknown: Liliana, Sylvia That probably means that Lili goes to green if Sylvia is exiled. I believe there was also a spoiler that Ravu (Have-Nots) will lose the first IC, so Sylvia will go to Ravu. Cassandra, Dre, Earl, and Yau-Man are expected to last long into the game. Erica, Jessica, Rita, and Sylvia are expected to be gone pre-jury.
