Survivor: Blood Vs. Water (Palaui Island, Cagayan)
« on: May 14, 2013 at 09:37 AM »
I guess it's cheap to film in the Philippines, since despite the fact that there were no fish for them to spear in Caramoan and the Survivors were starving and going crazy as a result, they're coming back this week to start filming the new season.

Here's a list of the returning contestants, who will supposedly be on one tribe, while their loved ones will be on the other.

Tyson Apostol, Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains
Aras Baskauskas, Panama
Rupert Boneham, Pearl Islands, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains
Monica Culpepper, One World
Colton Cumbie, One World
Kat Edorsson, One World
Laura Morett, Samoa
Gervase Peterson, Borneo
RC Saint-Amour, Philippines
Tina Wesson, Australia, All-Stars

I'm not sure how I can stand another season of Rupert... AND of Colton.

Location: The BUZZ is... that the Philippines will again be host for the next 2 seasons, with 27 and 28 being shot back to back.

Theme: Again, the BUZZ is... S27 will be Favorites Vs Family. With 1 tribe being past players and the other tribe being members of their family.

Yeah. Plus Jeff Probst was quoted saying he likes how the locals work (building the challenges). I think the producers think they are very cheap too.

Here's a description of the islands where Season 27 will be shooting and some pictures too:

Used to go there when we were kids until high school. Hindi pa sikat yan and locals bring visitors and other relatives na dumalaw but not commercially advertised. I wonder how the place have changes since I haven't been there for some years now.
I can stop speaking but I cannot so easily silence my thoughts...

I hope they come up with new sets of challenges for reward and immunity. Some are just the same from the previous seasons.  :)

Yes. I was actually hoping that they would incorporate local games like sungka, patintero/harangang taga, etc to the challenges in the previous two seasons but alas, it seems the challenge designers did not do their research in said aspect.

It would be great also if Probst would introduce the challenge by saying, "Your challenge is based on a local game here in the Philippines called Sungka, but instead of playing with pebbles or fruit seeds or sea shells, you will be moving watermelons to holes scattered in this field equals to two football fields. One one of you would be the caller who will decide from what hole you will start. This challenge needs strategy, and concentration as you will be trying to remember which holes has how many number of watermelons..."

That would be a challenge that will be very physical challenge but mental as well.

Been to Palaui once, way back in the mid-90's. Went there as a side trip to the Callao Caves of Cagayan. At that time, the place was practically free from commercial tourism. Good memories of fantastic places....

Kat is still cute!

Too bad Candice was sent off to Redemption. She's an amazing player.

I don't understand how Colton got zero votes to be the first person voted off. I've never hated any player more.

Does anyone remember Laura M? None of my friends do. We have no idea who she is, what she did, or why she was invited back. She's not even eye candy.

What?!? As a fan of Survivor for 27 seasons now, I'm sure you know Colton is the person to take into the finals :)

If he makes the finals and wins, I'm done with this show. We already had the "asshole redeems himself" storyline with Cochran last season.

He was an idiot. I think he wanted the clue for his wife so badly that he wasn't thinking straight. Iniwan niya yung 9th piece na hindi diretcho. He could have just taken his time and finished second.

Hindi ko alam bat ang OA ng mga tao sa Survivor. Akala mo pag na-vote out o na-eliminate ang tao hindi mo na makikita habang buhay. It's just a game people. Is it the million dollars that makes them act this way? Kung $10,000 lang ang premyo, hindi ba sila magaarte ng ganyan?

I think it's the result of a combination of many external factors:

1. Stranded on an island
2. With people you don't like
3. No proper nutrition
4. Boredom and paranoia sets in
5. Knowledge that you are being filmed
6. and so forth and so on

Contestants are also chosen and thrown into the group based on their psych profiles

All of that is valid except that in this case it's still very early and these are returning players who should already know what to expect.

I suppose your last reason makes the most sense, hehe. Wouldn't do to have stoic, unaffected individuals in this game. Won't make for compelling TV.

I think the only reason for the drama is for each player's own 15 minutes of fame.

the place is still the same..even the highly publicized " boracay of the north"  anguib beach is not commercialized as well. The only commercial center that is thriving is the sun city casino in sta ana

I believe the rule is that the winner (redemption island challenge) 'must give' the clue to anyone.
