"Shakesvivor Press Release"


Associated Press: May 21, 2001

Today, in front of room packed with reporters from around the world, Shakes Burnett revealed several key details for this season's much anticipated Shakesvivor. Included in the announcement was the identity of the show's host, the location of Shakesvivor, the theme of the show, the tribe names and which cast members are in which tribe.

Regarding the identity of the host, Shakes stated, "Although it has long been speculated in the media, I am here to confirm that yes, AyaK will be the host of Shakesvivor. After an exhaustive search it was determined that Shakesvivor needed a host who was intelligent, yet easy going and friendly, yet not afraid to ask the tough questions at Tribal Councils. AyaK fits the bill perfectly. Also, although the host is a very important part of the show let's not forget who the stars are....the 16 people signed up to participate...and AyaK has a firm understanding of that fact."

When asked about the location and theme of Shakesvivor, Shakes responded, "Its no secret that this show is modeled to some degree after that "other" show on CBS, so we have decided to film the show on the same location as both installments of Survivor, a sound stage in Los Angeles. But, since we couldn't decide whether we liked the Borneo version or the Australian version better, we have decided to combine elements of both! Shakesvivor will appear as if it takes place on an island in the South China Sea, and yet there will be kangaroos! And no, we won't be leaving out the 3 F's that are key to all quality survival game shows, Flood, Fire, and Famine!"

Shakes then released the names of the two tribes as well as which contestants will be in which tribe.

Arrogantaussies tribe
Dalton
Outfrontgirl
Skierdude
Survivorist
SurvivorDawg
Dangerkitty
Sleeeve
SurvivorChick

Borneobores tribe
Desert_Rhino
George Tirebiter
RudyRules
Ice Cat
VampKira
Mon Cherie
Superman
ItzLisa


Before leaving, Shakes did add a few more comments....

"I just want to add one thing. It has come to my attention that a certain individual has been running around the boards posting "spoilers" claiming to be one of my employees. First of all, I have NO IDEA who this Not Shakes character is, but i can tell you one thing for sure, he/she most definitely does not work for me, never has worked for me, and never will work for me. Also, the fact that he was able to make a lucky guess regarding the tribe affiliation was just that, a LUCKY GUESS. Further, his/her post was soooo vague for all we know that list was meant to be a boot order and NOT tribe affiliation. All I am saying is that you should not believe a word this person says cause its all bullshit!"

"oh, and one more thing....we are on a very limited budget this season so I suggest that you enjoy every summary as if it is the last one, cause it very well might be."

Hmmmm. . . interesting that Shakes and not shakes both misspell Survivorerist's name the same way, isn't it?

And don't think I don't notice what you're doing, clown-boy--but I ain't fallin' for it!

"legal releases of liability and/or responsibility" were

guardian??

I am very pleased. I would much rather be an "Arrogant Aussie" than a "Borneo Bore". Although having both SurvivorDawg and Skierdude on my tribe - two who were "drafted", shall we say - well, I hope that their team spirit can make the grade. They have to understand that we need to beat beat beat the other tribe! (actually I am afraid that SurvivorDawg will beat beat beat Skierdude.)

To the three members of Borneobore that I have already formed an alliance with - you just remember that down the road!

Hm, things are looking bad for SurvivinDawg, too, everyone gets his name wrong.

I smell a rat! And to think any episode may be the last is unforgiving. Who wants to be stranded in LA? Hmmm, sounds like the makings of a formal investigation may occur. "I dunno." Let's watch and see?

Did anyone notice that the ArrogantAussies have 5 members whose names start with S? Good god, how will our host manage? Can we use the potential confusion to our advantage?

And the spooky part is, the initials of the other three names (Outfrontgirl, Dalton, Dangerkitty) spell ODD. Could this be a spoiler? Could an odd number be significant at a critical time? Are we merely peculiar? Are there snakes among us? And what does snakes rhyme with? Shakes!

We are the ODD ones who say SSSSS! We shall say it and say it until you have brought us a shrubbery.

And if you take the 'u' and the 'i' out of Aussies, you have what we will soon be kicking!

Just trying to get into the arrogant mode for the sake of the game.

I missed it, but I will assume you are referring to something phallic. Eeeeeeeee. . . I don't know if that's proper because my alter ego IS a male, or improper because I am not. . . but it has been established that I may have balls, so I guess it could go either way.

Guess I need to concoct a slutty sig pic so people will be less (or more) confused for the game, eh? Still working on it. . .

GT

Edited to add: AAAACK! I wasted my 800th post debating whether or not I should have a penis! (I'm leaning toward "No," by the way--I hear they get in the way.)

Talk about your "sanity"....I keep trying to insist
that the "GENDERS" here on SB.com need to be kept
down to your basic TWO!! What the heck if the idjuts
can't figure out Male/Female questions without "the
aid of pictures"....geezzzzeee morons!!

BTW, I submitted my "slutty show pic"...love your term...
in that other Thread....it's only post #68 which takes
an hour to download....one of the "guys" the mean/evil
Shakes overlooked for his game was nice enough to find
it for me....

Congrats on your DAWS...yeah; I know "they ain't HEAVY,
they is my D.A.W".....I feel the exact same way. LOL.

Um. . . you know I love you and your chatty ways, but dear--this is not the way to go far in this game! Dissing your teammates and openly announcing an alliance with the other team?! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. . . this could be the very reason the spoilers tagged you to go early. . .

I, for one, have heard nothing from you as far as strategy, so please tone down the crazy banter and focus on one episode at a time, mkay? What you say on the boards is the equivalent of the solitary monologues/gripe sessions they have on the "real" show. We should be one big, happy family, if we're to kick their arrogant asses! We need your sunny disposition to egg us on when the going gets tough--and if you're off on a loozer's tour of the brothels of Bangkok, you won't be able to benefit anyone but yourself. . .

Love ya! (always have),
GT

***Love ya too, GT - but I'm takin' this game in the spirit that it's intended - something fun to do for kicks! I won't jeopardize my teammates, because there's 15 other people to think about - BUT...if I happen to get my a.ss voted off first, so be it! Somebody's gotta be the first one - just consider me more mentally competent than Debb, LOL!!! I'm not gonna be paying a ton of attention to whatever the spoilers have to say about me, 'kay? So c'mere and gimme a hug, Scottie Dog!
