Survivor South Pacific [US Pace] [** Spoilers **]

KEITH_KILDUFF

Wont find until this starts!!

More Redemption Island, more Returning players, but will it be a carbon copy of Season 22? Hope not!

I really enjoyed Boston Rob finally winning the game he loves so much, but the whole season was over shadowed by poor game play by the other members of his alliance, so lets hope better players, more blindsides and the 2 returnees fighting harder in the game!

Ive heard so many names come up as the 2 returnees, Coach and Ozzy been the ones said alot but don't be surprized if its someone else!!

Thoughts anyone of you Survivor fans out there???!!

Bottleopener

Cast announcement is imminent - expect it in the next week or so. The premiere will be 90 minutes and on September 14th.

KEITH_KILDUFF

Should be a good season hopefully if they use RI to its full potential, alot gave out about it but that was because it was so messy and they had never used it before.

Was watching the old seasons and Id love if they mixed it up a bit and went back to 3 tribes, had a returnee on each one, would be a different from the norm last time out.

I think we just need to see a good game where 10-12 of the players know how to play and survive, see moves like russell and amandas Idol plays, blindsides and good challenges, its a shame they dont have water challenges anymore

Heres hoping to a good season though!

I thought Redemption Island was possibly the worst Survivor ever,the whole concept is a nonsense,yeah Boston Rob was a worthy winner but what the hell was he up against.Very low expectations for this season.
P.S. Redemption Island starts on TG4 tonight at 7.30!!:D

KEITH_KILDUFF

I think RI has potential if its worked right,the basis idea of it is a good one, how many times have we seen in the past people on the wrong side of numbers who would have offered alot to the game had they stayed in, well this is there way of getting back, obviously there are arguments to what ive said but im going to be positive about this season.

Watched the first ep of RI and the supporting cast where so bad, only really a few knew what they were at, and none of them really seemed like they knew how to beat Rob once he got his way into the game.

Regardless of the cast though I will probably watch it to the end again, and will hopefully be chatting with you guys on this week in, week out about whats happening!!

Let the countdown begin!

Bottleopener can I PM you,just wondering best spot to watch next season?Not sure if Stentilyzer's channel is uploading it,dcdice seems to have had Redemption Island removed.:(

KEITH_KILDUFF

Sidereel.com will have episodes uploaded the following day after theyve been aired in US, thats where ive watched the last 2 seasons, couldnt stick watching TG4 and then googling something about it and finding out who won the season by accident!!

Ta Keith,totally echo your sentiments.Happened to me on a couple of seasons.:mad:Ah do not mind watching TG4,fair play to them for broadcasting Survivor when the main stream stations had'nt the bottle to recognise what a great show it is.Also they've rapidly caught up in terms of seasons.They used to be about 3 seasons behind!:eek:Kudos to TG4!:D

KEITH_KILDUFF

Kudos indeed!! Wont find until there will be another All-Stars season too!! I think thats how the show will finish, having one final huge season with the best characters on it..even if they have to pay and beg them to come back!

Link for Cast list this year!!

Russell Hantz nephew is playing, I dont give him a chance really because of the name, unless he keeps that quiet enough??

First impressions I fancy Enda Keith and Albert to do well, can see Keith and Ozzy getting on well also, Announcement of Coach and Ozzy to come on wednesday!

Coeus

Here is the official annoncement of contestants with bios minus the 2 returning players...
http://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/cast/

Bottleopener

Sophie to win based on cast pics/bios :P. Or Edna Ma

Coeus

Im gonna throw my hat in the ring for Elyse I can see Ozzy been a lapdog for her. Looks like they are on the same tribe...

Brandon must work for his uncle based on his bio...

johnnycnandy

Must have a look through all the individual player videos to make my pre-season pick (which is always wrong!, had Ashley last year)

seligehgit

Some nice hotties!:DElyse,Miki and Whitney are sweet.Hope they're more than cannon fodder eye candy.Really wondering what Russell's nephew will be like?Big target on his back.Delighted it's not all California guys and gals.To be honest JohnCandy,I can't be bothered watching the individual player videos,although it does make it more interesting if you try to pick a winner.The Dragonslayer to win,lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Think it's a bit of a lottery.Yeah definitely think Ozzy may be a lapdog for one of the hotties!:D

KEITH_KILDUFF

Coach and Ozzy confirmed this year!

Seen a video on Youtube where they show a clip of them climbing up a pole infront of the other contestants....bad move I think, why show off the targets strengths straight away when there already under pressure!!

kingtut

I really wish there was a season with no returning players for a change!! :mad:

I can't wait for this season!! Does anyone collect or buy anything from the show?

Going by the released cast photos there are no hotties this season, I hope my opinion changes when the clothes come off

Bottleopener

Loved John Cochran's video, especially the part about him wearing 3 survivor buffs in his senior yearbook photo :P

I got some of it on a CBS auction and some on ebay. I also got a couple of signed items from my contact in the US who gets me the signatures I request.

I am also in personal contact with both Yau-Man and Stephanie Lagrossa on a reasonably frequent basis as well as with Brandon Hantz who appears on S23

I plan on going to one of the survivor parties next year and the re-union of survivor 24 (not a typo!! as I won't be free to go to S23)

What kind of stuff would you like to get and I'll let you know where to go

It depends on what you want and anyway I would not buy something unless you really wanted it.

Are you looking for something that will remind you of the show? ie. a buff that the contestants wear? Or maybe a prop from the show like a flag or a voting urn?

Some things are very pricey and even more so if they are signed!! ..... have a think about what you might like and get back to me.

I might have a buff or two to sell if anyone wants some (I ended up buying 2 of some of them by mistake and only got 1 in each case signed by contestants).

I'm trying to download them at the moment too. Have few seasons done but i'm having trouble finding places to download seasons with the full eps. Everywhere I find has the earlier seasons divided into 4 vids per ep. Any chance you can pm me your source Selig??

And for South Pacific, I've decided I'm gonna go with Albert as my pre-game pick. C'mon Albert, don't let me down like all the others!!

Unfortunately I'm not selling any signed ones as they were almost impossible to get :cool: when I check my stock I'll tell you what I can give away though

4 videos per episode ?? Can't say I have ever had a download like that, it has always been full episodes :eek:

The one problem with earlier episodes though is there are less people sharing so it is slower to download.... lucky I have them all

Cherry_Cola

Yeah I managed to download all seasons without too much trouble. No problems with split videos or anything either.

kingtut

So for anyone wanting buffs it looks like I might be selling the following (this are not signed but are in mint condition on display cards) PM me if you are interested:

Pearl Islands - BLUE Drake Buff
Heroes vs Villians - BLACK Ying Yang Buff
Tocatins - BLACK Timbera Buff

No I got the DVDs from a source in the UK :cool:
I'd like to buy the official US ones but they are probably region encoded so they might not play here.

Here is an example of a buff:



There are probably a few in the CBS shop but I reckon they are only from the latest season and not the older seasons, I never buy them from there anyway :cool:

To be honest not overly impressed with any of them,yeah Albert and Keith could do well,if Keith can manage to keep quiet re his pacemaker,unless it's very obvious physically.Young Hantz could be one to watch,some very mouthy girls,lots of attitude.LOL re Whitney and her big fan club watching her every move,slightly deluded.Couple of ditzey,barbie dolls.Elyse is really cute!!:D So it's the usual mix of southern belles/eye candy,corporate types/know it alls,players and the token interesting older contestants.

Thargor

This will be the last Saturday for months that I dont get to do my favorite activity, getting bladdered and watching new Survivor. My weekend tv sessions where I watch all the downloaded US stuff in one go feel totally empty without the greatest programme ever made.

kingtut

Woohoo Survivor on Thursday!! Can't wait to watch it

Cant wait either! Its been a long summer of speculation since the retrunees were leaked. Should be able to watch Thursday evening once I get home from work

seligehgit

Do you guys recommend <snip>

Can't wait for this The Amazing Race on Sunday then with Ethan & Jenna competing in it.

Yes I will be watching this aswell, starts 25th of September stateside so just under 2 weeks to wait...

As for the best way to watch it, I always download. I'll start it when before I leave on Thursday morn so its ready to go when I get home. Upcoming episode is titled 'I need redemption' and is scheduled for 1 and half hours on CBS...

johnnycnandy

Really excited now! Lets hope for a strong season...

kingtut

Woohoo I'll be watching Survivor tomorrow!

I reckon that if people find out that Brandon is related to Russell then he will be voted out pretty quickly...I wonder if anyone knows who he is or if he will tell them.... I reckon there will be a strong chance that either Ozzy or Coach will recognise him as I am sure he has been to some survivor events with Russell...

Brandon is also overly religious (to the point of being annoying) which always makes for an early exit on the show!!

Is it just me or do the girls on the show always look hotter on the show than what they do at the re-unions ??

Ive thought that for years, but I do hate the smathered with makeup look that seems to have come back into female fashion everywhere in recent times. Amanda and Parvati and a few others had me practically licking the screen when they were on the beach then back in New York they were just 'meh'.

Surprised we've never had you in these threads before Kingtut if you're such a Survivor freak, you've been on Boards long enough. I have to get one of those buffs now, post some pics of your Survivor stuff if you get a chance please.

SSSOOOOOOOOO EXCITED !!!

Think I might just leave college early 2mrw, come home and fire up the season premiere!!

Can anybody can PM me a good place to download it?:D What time does it air in the US?Confusing CBS fall schedule says 8 PM Timezone ET/PT???

I'm glad i'm not the only one who finds that stuff cringeworthy. Theres one every season.

Last season we had that pleb who put every decision down to "god's will". Sent to redemption Island? God's will. Win a challenge? God's will.

Actually no mate, you won the challenge because you are fitter than your opponent. And you went home because you were dumber than your opponent. God had squat to do with it. Own your own triumphs and failures.

Drive's me up the wall. :mad:

Still, looking forward to the new season all the same. Coach is completely deluded. Remember his stories about paddling down the amazon river and getting captued by a tribe? He even faked a lie detector. Guys craaaazy

Cherry_Cola

Fantastic first episode and an excellent first tribal. Felt really bad for Coach losing like that at the beginning so was delighted they won the immunity.

No wonder Ozzy is glad he got the red tribe with all the eye candy on it

Think they made the right decision with voting out Semhar, I can think of at least 2 big reasons why they should've kept her :P

Cochran will be an interesting character, Brandon doesn't seem as evil as I was expecting. Interesting to see how long he keeps the shirt on and whether he'll go idol hunting like his uncle.

There's definitely a few more savvy players this season and hopefully they'll have the guts to go against the vets and prevent a Mariano situation like last year. There's definitely a danger of that happening on Ozzy's tribe, however the characters like the guy who was giving out after the immunity hopefully won't go for it.

Bring on the rest of the season!

KEITH_KILDUFF

Really enjoyed the 1st episode myself!

I thought at the start Ozzy was just going to be thinking with his lad, by wanting to aline with Semhar, but glad she went, Cochran could be done for, but I reckon he might just settle into the game now. Ozzy looks and talks a different player now, I wont say hes in charge of his tribe but he looks comfortable!

As for Coach, got off to a rough start, but did the right thing and didnt impose himself too much on what had to be done. Whether that 5 person aliance sticks is another thing?

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Keith can you PM where you viewed it,usual suspects appear unavailable?

kingtut

I just about to watch the first episode!! Can people use spoilers when posting about an episode for people who have not watched it yet??

Thargor

Yes definitely put stuff in spoilers for the rest of the season please, it only takes 2 clicks, some people save it for the weekend.
