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.
As entertainment critic Roger
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."

Well, it is that time again. I have enjoyed doing the first SOTS of the season for the last several seasons. It gets me revved up for the season. However, all of you, my dear spoiler friends, come up with such great stuff during the off-season that the task of summarizing can be quite daunting. Nevertheless, I hope you will find my feeble effort to summarize your information helpful. As always, I am cautiously optimistic about the quality of this season. There are some indications that it will be one of the better ones. First and foremost, please review the spoiler board guidelines. If you are relatively new to this board and have not read them, please do so immediately. Sometimes “newbies” feel intimidated or feel that other posters are not kind to them, but we do have simple guidelines that help us all get along. Don't be intimidated, just well read. One great way to do that is to read this SOTS thoroughly and follow all the links to the respective thresds. Next, let’s meet the players . . . Jiffy says, "This group is the closest group to the Australia group that I think we've had, in terms of vitality and attitude and look. It's a young looking group, good looking group and pretty confident. They all seem to think they have a handle on the game. And I'm sure more than a few of them will get themselves in trouble with that confidence." |
Picture | Name | Vitals | Comments (mostly provided by IE) |
| Chad Crittenden | 35, a teacher from Oakland, CA | (Chad is an amputee.) - no one wants to go up against him in the final 2 because of the sympathy factor, but being a teacher he will make jury |
| Chris Daugherty | 33, who works in highway construction, from South Vienna, OH | "He seems to be the most focused. He also seems the most in tune with the fact that it's just a game. He could be someone you want to sit next to in the F2 (a la Clay)." -Fester |
| Brady Finta | 33, an FBI agent who was formerly in the military service, from Huntington Beach, CA | - on paper this guy should win. FBI?!!?!?! he should know when peeps are lying and be able to hide the truth. But Kel was good on paper too and look where he ended up. |
| Rory Freeman | 35, a housing case manager from Des Moines, IA | his bio makes him seem very intense. |
| Brook Geraghty | 27, a project manager from Boston, MA | Rumor has it that he is the first to go, so there is little need to get to know him |
| John Kenney | 22, a mechanical bull operator and model from Los Angeles, CA | This guy does not look long for the game, possibly the first boot ala Ryan from S6, if he doesn't quit right away. |
| Lea "Sarge" Masters | 40, a drill sergeant who lives in Columbia, SC | will he manage to scrape by for a little bit before being booted like Roger or get axed early like BB |
| John Palyok | 31, of Los Angeles, is a sales manager at a Home Depot | -Sales? hmmm reminds me of Brian Heidik, could go far |
| Travis "Bubba" Sampson | 33, of Johnson City, TN, works in loss prevention | Fat and out of shape, but has the folksy charm of Big Tom |
|
Picture | Name | Vitals | Comments (mostly provided by IE) |
| Julie Berry | 23, a youth mentor from Gorham, ME | survivors from Maine have been weird and don't fit in- i.e. Zoe, Lillian (originally from maine). She is younger though, and from the group pic she looks happy. |
| Ami Cusack | 31, a barista (coffee server) and model from Lakewood, CO | customer service + mature enough at 31 to know how to handle peeps= jury? |
| Mia Galeotalanza | 30, a finance manager from Tom’s River, NJ | "Mia struck me as all over the place." -MattyMax |
| Lisa Keiffer | 44, a real estate agent from New Orleans, LA | Will she pull a Jeanne or be more like T-Bird? |
| Scout Cloud Lee | 59, a rancher and entrepreneur from Stillwater, OK | Either 1st boot or final 4. |
| Dolly Neely | 25, a sheep farmer from Mercer, PA | Her body language in the group photo says an EARLY boot. |
| Eliza Orlins | 21, a pre-law student from Syracuse, NY | -law student from NY? "comes off as just too confident. She thinks she's going to be underestimated, but she doesn't seem the type to be able to play the dumb co-ed role. She reeks of Kelly Goldsmith, and we know where her mouth landed her. Eliza will be lucky to last that long." -Fester |
| Leann Slaby | 35, a research assistant from Kansasville, WI | She may be a fish out of water in an all-female tribe . . . or is that just what EPMB wants us to think? |
| Twila Tanner | 41, of Marshall, MO, who works in highway repair | She lost before she even got to camp. bossy women with no skills on an all women tribe with young pretty girls don't last long. | All the survivors made video introductions of themselves. Transcripts can be found here. Episode One's Title: "They Came At Us With Spears" As we do, there is already some great discussion about the editing and how the players, the game, and the editing interplay. Blow by Blow also posted a link to the index of previous Survivor Challenges in this thresd. In the Twist Speculation thread it was noted that some of the vidcaps indicate the Survivors will get a crate with some basic supplies at some point. These supplies include a machete, water jugs, a coffee pot, and a green tarp. The ladies are shown using this tarp for a roof on their shelter. Again this year, we are trying to figure out what Jeff means by the teaser soundbites he gives. There has been some debate about an interview in which he hints that the male tribe would take a leadership role and the female tribe would follow, at least initially. A new poster, Shadowbum, quotes the TV Guide as reporting that at least one of this season's twists will be, "that tribal counsels will not be limited to every three days and can happen at any time." The Immunity Idol:
Jeff's nifty new torch snuffer:
Vidcaps: Apparently, the first ten minutes of the episode involve a "harrowing rite of passage." We have vidcaps in this thresd. It appears to be a local tribal ritual involving men with spears. There are several vidcaps in this thread. Despite previous discussion, the challenge does seem to be men against the women. It seems like some type of team obstacle course, which includes crawling under a frame of poles and crawling over a balance beam. It appears to have a puzzle element, as well. There is a good deal of speculation that points to a female (Yasur) win, including this picture: which may show the ladies with the Imunity Idol. Geography: Capn2patch brought over some maps, which may be helpful in the future.
Calendar: LeftPinky posted a thread about ABT's preliminary filming calendar. Looks like this season will defintely be affected by some natural events (i.e. earthquakes/volcanic activity). Old Reliable Spoilers?: So far I have not seen a Clothing Inventory or "Buddy List". However, there have been "Chillone" type list circulating already. The consensus seems to be to ignore these grandstanders. The boot?: Capn2patch posted this thread, which could be considered an SOTS in itsself. He brings news from across the spoiling world. A poster over on "the board which shall not be named" indicates that she has a reliable tip that Brook Geraghty is the first survivor voted off. The vote thread will be up soon, so go pick your favorite. Don't forget to participate in the SurvivorBlows Spoiler Island Game. I believe the first episode has been spoiled pretty thoroughly, and we have a good deal of information to watch for over the course of the season. You guys are fantastic spoilers and I am sure that more will come out before Thursday. EPMB tries so hard to keep his dirty, little secrets but you guys consistently ruin it for him. I hope this post is helpful and spurs on some good discussion that will solidify our efforts this week. Good spoiling to all! SOTS is provided by SurvivorBlows.com as a service to our readers. The purpose of this post is to consolidate the threads in the Spoiler Forum pertaining to this week's episode. Feel free to reply to this post if you feel that a theory you support was not adequately represented in this message... Please use this thread for unified discussion of all topics as we approach the next episode. "Having 6,000 scorpions is different from 3,000," Nur Malena said. "It's just worse."

Bebo.HEARTS.Bear.Wow. You keep willingly taking on the toughest SOTS of all, given the volume of information. The even more shocking thing is that your SOTS keep getting better and better. As solid as your past efforts have been, this one is flat-out terrific. Join my paramilitary org - call 1-800-FIGHT4BEBO.

Absolutely beautiful SOTS, SurvivaBear! Good job!"If all machines were to be annihilated at one moment, so that not a knife nor lever nor rag of clothing nor anything whatsoever were left to man but his bare body alone that he was born with, and if all knowledge of mechanical laws were taken from him so that he could make no more machines, and all machine-made food destroyed so that the race of man should be left as it were naked upon a desert island, we should become extinct in six weeks."

Great job SB! What a tough SOTS with all the speculation and spoilers to put together.KellyL commented in a new thread about the "right of passage". I had the same idea about the bungee jump. This is their true right of passage, for men only. In a related comment from MB or Jiffy, they mentioned the men lead, and the women followed. I'm thinking the men will have to do some kind of bungee right of passage and the women would have to perform some kind of cultural woman activity, which may involve the pigs that we have seen pics of. They may be omitting all pics of the men's bungee. Just a thought. Slice & Dice Chop Shop 2004
