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.

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."

"SURVIVOR 17 LOCATION:SABON,AFRICA" |
I found at SURVIVOR SKILLS an artical about SURVIVOR 17 being in SABON,West Africa. DanieuBleau posted that filming will be in SABON NATIONAL PARK in SABON,AFRICA. SABON is on the West Coast of Southwest Africa. It has a very beautifulb Atlantic Ocean Beach with lots of elephants,rhinos,and whales swimming closeby. SABON is at the edge of a tropical rain forest and is the size of Colorado. Production is scheduled for early JUNE and filming JUNE THRU AUGUST,2008.Casting is scheduled for MAY,17,2008.

2. "Gabon?" |
Where are you getting this information? Cause after searching through Skills and Sucks and various other websites I can find no "Sabon" anywhere in West Africa. Could you mean Gabon? And where did you find the information on the exact park they are to film in. Because all I found was speculation on the country and possible (survivorthemed)beach locations available but not one ounce of confirmation on a specific park being used. Nor one with the name of Sabon National Park.A map of Gabon doesn't list Sabon anywhere in their park directories.
And as far as (survivorthemed)beach locations go we have ... Akanda (540 KM2 Gabons principal stopping off point for migratory birds) Loango (1550 KM2 Elephants on the beach, surfing hippos, with humback whale acrobatic offshore) Mayumba (80 KM2 The most important nesting site for leatherback turtles on earth) Moukalaba Doudou (4500 KM2 Relict savanna fauna such as waterbuck and jackal) and some protected areas like... Rabindogo, Wonga-Wongue and Ogooue. Alternately I chose to go the SABON is on the West Coast of Southwest Africa route. 1. SW Africa, formerly known as German SouthWest Africa is now known as Namibia. 2. There is no Sabon National Park in Namibia.
So if you can supply some links or something that can better exemplify your claims that DB is touting Sabon and an actual map of Sabon would be helpful as well. I'm hoping it's just a typo, but with all of the CAPS, I figured you were being serious (and throurough).

4. "RE: Gabon?" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-10-08 AT 09:02 PM (EST)Okay, I just wandered over to Survivor Skills for the first time ever ... and within 20 seconds, I found a thread titled Survivor 17 and it links back to a discussion over on RealityFanForum which in turn linked back to an original mention by Wezzie on January 31st. And? It clearly says "Gabon, Africa." Somebody needs a little reading/geography lesson. Sheesh. ETA: the second page of the link above has some detailed information on Gabon (including the quote in the original post of this thread saying it's about the size of Colorado) and some nice pictures of the beaches of Gabon.

Sorry for making you go through the hoops, Pepe. I went through it too and was just a little put off by the lack of correct information given and now it will probably act as the Survivor 17 thread despite it's TYPO SUBJECT.Although I'm no expert and it could still be in Nigeria for all I know. If they can somehow find a spot away from the over 140 million people that live there. It is the eighth most populous country in the world after all. Despite all of that I think that Gabon is a beautiful location. Off to read some more about it...

Hey Rich! No worries... it's just that both Tribe and I took a look at the title and went (!!) at a name that neither of us had ever seen before and there was no link in your post, so we both hopped on our horses and galloped off to find information.You did good to alert us to this big news, keep it up! May I offer a few humble suggestions to keep this place humming smoothly and allow you to fit in splendidly? You've offered a few good insights through your 25 or so posts, so we look forward to more. - Here, using links is like gospel ... spoilers love links. It's like doing a term paper in college or high school as any student would fail if they didn't use references properly, so any time you reference another site, it's good to link there so we can read more about it and certain peeps can get browned off if they're not referenced to. - Not sure how to link? There's a HTML Reference in the red text that is located just above the box where you type in posts. Alternatively, you could click on "Reply with quote" after any other poster's message where there is a link so you can see how it's done. The reason why we pretty much insist on links on this site if referencing to what someone said elsewhere is because we've had a history of trolls coming in and screaming out they've found a great new spoiler ... but they had nothing to back it up. Way back in S2 Australia or S3 Africa, we had a few trolls telling us they had hot new info and like lemmings we fell for it. Since then, we've learned to take hearsay with a grain of salt - this is not directed at you, Rich, but just everyone in general so our Spoilers site can continue to hum smoothly. - And may I offer a very humble suggestion? No need to "SHOUT" in all caps. It's a little disconcerting to some posters. This is a site full of intelligent people who can read between the lines so capitalized words aren't really necessary. May I suggest bolding any key words/sentences instead? It works like this <b>text</b> (except use brackets instead of < and > ) Hope this helps! Again, thank you for alerting us to the confirmation of a new site for S17 in Gabon - DanieuBleau is one of the more reliable posters on that other site so what she says is reliable. Without your post, I might not have heard about what Danieu said for some time yet.

Thanks UncleRich for bringing this over ... Guys, could we please have a GABON thread started with the available info and not let a SABON thread become the S17 preseason topic.I mean, it's an embarrassment to a site like Blows to spoil a non-existent location because a well-meaning person made a typo and subject headers can't be edited. Let's begin anew, with a link to this thread? "If I'd meant that, I'd have said it." - Lewis Carroll
