esquire 1095 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 03-06-09, 10:03 AM (EST) "What happened to the scrambling of the tribes" Lets not forget that each season, episode 3, 4 or 5 is the episode where MB ALWAYS scrambles the tribes. I don't think their has been a season where they didn't scramble the tribes since Survivor 2 in Australia. Although I heard nothing about it in the previews, I think we should not forget this when trying to determine who this week's bootee is.   Top

michel 10958 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-06-09, 10:10 AM (EST) 1. "RE: What happened to the scrambling of the tribes" Thailand, Palau and Exile Island didn't have switches.   Top

Georjanna 1316 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beef Jerky Spokesperson" 03-06-09, 12:33 PM (EST) 2. "RE: What happened to the scrambling of the tribes" LAST EDITED ON 03-06-09 AT 01:21 PM (EST) In one of his post-filming but pre-airing interviews for Tocantins, Jeff Probst addressed the issue of Tribal switches by teasing (and I'm paraphrasing because I didn't save the link): 'So, what if next Season there are no switches? Straight Survivor. Is that what you want? Fine. Done. I'll call CBS and tell them.' I have no idea whether he intended the remark to refer to the next Season to air (S18) or the next Season to film (S19). And I suspect that its ambivalence and tone were deliberate. But the remark, coupled with Tocantins mutiny twist and the composition (personality mixes) of Timbira and Jalapao - the producers drew a very definitive battle-line between intellectual (clinical) and intuitive (emotional) play when the Season was cast and the tribal assignments were made - lead me to think that we won't see a shake-up of the Tribes prior to the Merge. Edited: To clarify the last sentence/paragraph G   Top

It may explain why Joe gets booted pre-merge (like many people have projected)   Top

"Agree" LAST EDITED ON 03-06-09 AT 03:23 PM (EST) Paying attention to the promos, sifting through promo vidcaps, is the best way to anticipate a tribal switch. Things to look for, different confessional areas, a sudden lack or decrease of challenge vidcaps, etc.   Top

samboohoo 17173 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-06-09, 02:28 PM (EST) 6. "RE: What happened to the scrambling of the tribes" It was evident last night that they were planning for a switch - JT and Joe not taking both bags of beans. Perhaps MB is just trying to keep them on their toes. Also, since we have the possibility of a mutiny with Exile, that may be our "switch" for this year. *smooches Agman*   Top

Brownroach 15341 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-06-09, 02:38 PM (EST) 7. "RE: What happened to the scrambling of the tribes" That's what I'm thinking -- in Thailand there was no full-fledged shake-up but they were individually offered a chance to switch tribes. This is sort of like that. A tribe glows in Brooklyn.   Top

byoffer 15947 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 03-06-09, 03:30 PM (EST) 8. "RE: What happened to the scrambling of the tribes" I agree. But I can't see anyone taking them up on that Exile Switch unless they are really feeling exposed. Maybe Erinn, but she likely won't get the chance with the secret alliance hogging Exile. It's Bachelor Love, which is like Monopoly Money in that it has no actual value outside the game. - frodis   Top
