The contestants were announced today:

Survivor Panama: Exile Island (CBS) (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor12)
They're now divided into 4 tribes - older men, older women, younger men, younger women.
Premieres Wednesday, February 2, 2006, 8:00PM on CBS.
So I'm guessing that'll be Friday, February 3, 2:00PM on Studio 23.
-
Starts this week on Studio 23:
"Live" telecast Fridays at 2:00PM
Primetime Replay on Saturdays at 8:10PM.
-
maybe it's just me but i think a 4-member tribe is just too small... less dynamics.
the challenges were interesting tho... boobs a poppin', cracks exposin' and blood flowin'. LOL.
and oh yeah... the "young gal" tribe is way HOT! LOL. ;)
on of the old guys (steve?).. he's in the wrong reality show. he should've joined "cold turkey" instead. heh heh. :-[

A little help here....
What does having been exiled in the Exile Island mean to the game? ??? That for every reward challenge, the losing tribe gets to pick among them who to stay in the island.... and then he or she gets to strategize and if lucky gets to find a big-advantage-to-the-game-immunity-idol on that island? Is that person being punished there? I'm thinking if an entire tribe loses in the challenge, why not have them all exiled there? Besides, as the TV blurb goes: there's no food, no water, or fire over there in that island, so let them all suffer there altogether. Unless, there's something more to this Exile Island that will unravel with all the twists in this show as the game progresses. My thoughts only, anyway.

i think being chosen to go to the "exile island" reveals who the unpopular tribemates are. it gives viewers like us a glimpse on the pecking order... and people sent there are given a chance to stay in the game since a special immunity idol is hidden somewhere in the island.
BTW, if someone finds that "special immunity idol" and uses it before the game reaches final three .... the idol is placed back in the island. so it can be re-found and used repeatedly. (info courtesy of mr. hankey... heh heh.) ;)

Here's the source of that:
"Like the 'Guatemala' series, there is a hidden Immunity Idol on the island that can be used to spare someone from being sent home at Tribal Council. The catch this time is that the possessor puts the idol into play after the ballots have already been cast and once the idol has been used, it is put back into play as it is returned to another hiding place on 'Exile Island'." - Canoe JAM! Television (http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2006/01/30/1418781.html)
Don't worry too much about the lack of dynamics due to smaller tribes. That changes very soon. ;)
I've actually also read that in the future, more than one person at a time may be sent to Exile Island after a challenge.

i kinda expected that... i mean, if they meant for it to house just one person they should've called it "hermit island"... ;)
-
I am gay but I notice that there is a lot of cleavage-showing in this first episode. Parang bumubulwak na sa mga bra nila.
-
This was most interesting vote since Survivor 1, I think. It's usually 2 or at most 3 people receiving votes. This time 4 people received votes, and people within alliances were voting against each other!
I'm bothered with the way they're editing Terry, though. It's practically identical to the way winner Tom (the fireman) was edited in Survivor: Palau. Plus they seem to be the same type, demographically: early middle-aged WASP family man.
I hope he's not the winner, or this would be way too predictable this early on.
-
ooooh... anyone have a clue what the twist next week will be?
shane annoys the hell outta me.... :-X
-
Aras annoyed the hell out of me. Bastos, arrogant white guy. I guess we Pinoys have deeper "respect your elders" values within us.
I think it's too early for Terry to use the hidden immunity idol - even if his team loses, I don't see them getting rid of him, so I'm guessing the tribal council twist will deal with alliance betrayal and adverse reactions to it.

oh don't worry... aras is a close second to shane... then followed by whiny courtney. i hope those three leave soon. LOL.
terry is really acting like the "alpha male" of the bunch... looks like the chances of him using the hidden imunity idol will be close to nil before the merge. (speaking of... shouldn't that be next week?)
-
Shouldn't the twist be the tribe shuffle? Just a speculation.
Was really worried about the outcome of the immunity challenge. Buti na lang.
Casaya reminds me of Brian H.'s tribe in Thailand. I dread the time they could dominate during the merge. I have to admit that the dysfunctional alliance is a casting coup. What could be more entertaining than that? There's also Cirie! At least, we have a better Vecepia, under-the-radar yet scheming and wise-cracking.
I don't mind the way they edit Terry but if it were true, it'd be interesting to see how he could win this.
-
No wonder the ratings are an all-time low.
We are watching the tribe from hell lording it all. They won the reward/immunity challenge?!? I almost threw the TV out the window! It'd be a miracle if La Mina dominates the rest of the game.
If the show is on Wednesday in the US, does this mean we'd see it live on a Thursday at 2PM? Or, Friday again? No new episode daw 'till three weeks later. Good thing, there's TAR.
-
Perhaps the final two are Cirie and Terry.
-
No wonder the ratings are an all-time low.
Actually, I think the ratings are at an all-time low because the show's been airing against the results show of American Idol. That should change by the next new episode, since Idol results are now on Wednesdays in the States. But it's the least interesting season since "All-Stars," for me.

Hard to call until we see a Studio 23 plug. "Historically" (naks!), the Wednesday night episodes aired on Thursdays here, but last year, the Wednesday episode still aired on Friday. So... we'll have to wait and see.
-
saw the promo. they're airing the clip show live on Thursday at 2PM.
-
New episode tomorrow.
It's been so long I honestly can't even remember who got eliminated on the last episode. ;D
-
This installment should be sent to Exile Island forever. The rest of the survivors are either dumb or despicable except Cirie...
-
I think Cirie may be one of the most clever no-alliance contestant ever.
-
To each his own talaga. I can't stand Cirie, I think she's Ghandia II: The Revenge.
But I finally understand Terry's strategy. If he can continue his winning streak like Kelly Wiglesworth and Colby did in the past, by letting people know he has the hidden idol, he and Sally will at least last another 2 episodes, and the alliance will be forced to vote within their group of six, making some more likely to change sides when they realize the pecking order.
Let's see if Terry realizes that, too. ;D

Holy Week Alert:
Due to local customs, the only Philippine broadcast of this week's installment of Survivor will be on April 15, Black Saturday, at 8:00PM on Studio 23.

ha! as if they'd actually start at 8:00PM. more like eight-ish, if you ask me ... BTW, what caused the 30-minute delay in last friday's live broadcast??
-

They might, since there's no regular programming, so commercials won't make shows go overtime. It's just the 12-episode Seventh Heaven marathon that precedes it. Is this back to English already? :P
BTW, what caused the 30-minute delay in last friday's live broadcast??
They knew I set my timer a few minutes late. ;D
-
They knew I set my timer a few minutes late. ;D
seriously??? :o ... LOL. :P
i was counting for them to be on time since i had to leave at 1:45... and they effin' start at 1:30! aaaaugh! :-X
-
So, how far do you guys think Terry will go?
I mean, at the very least, he's guaranteed a spot in the final 6 now. And if the rumors about next week's castaway departure are true, then he's actually in the final 5 already.
-
At least, final four. Then, he might stumble on an immunity challenge that involves knowing about his fellow castaways.
Read somewhere that the ultimate survivor might be Danielle.
WTF?
-
And if the rumors about next week's castaway departure are true...
So the rumors were true. Poor Bruce. If this were "Pinoy Survivor," they'd probably have footage of Bruce hysterically crying, "It's not fair! I don't want to leave! Waahhhhh!" while Lauren Dyogi is shown comforting him... ;D
If it isn't surgical, Bruce's condition looks like it was caused by electrolyte imbalances from their island diet. So an enema and IV solutions/incorporations will probably resolve the problem. If not though... what happens? The jury will be an even number in the end, hence a tie is possible. Will they bring Nick back in to prevent that?
-
i've been hoping that the riotous Casaya tribe will crumble during the merge. they don't get along at all but they still vote straight!!
slight spoiler below...
if she will be the ultimate survivor, i wouldn't mind... with all the b :o :o b flashes that she has done... ;D ;D
-
Best episode of the season. With what happened today, it's easier to imagine why you-know-who could have won based on some spoilers.
The mastermind of today's ouster may have succeeded in blindsiding the rest of the tribe but it may have cost him/her the game. Still, a satisfying episode.
-
Yes, that was masterful scheming, in traditional Survivor-style.
Personally, I would've voted Danielle off for that armpit hair. ;D
Poor Terry. After weeks of trying, he finally found an alliance... and it betrayed him after less than 1 day. ;D
But I don't pity him too much, since he's currently guaranteed a slot in the final four already. From the way people talk about him, though... unless he goes up against Shane, he doesn't stand a chance of winning the million dollars. The majority dislike for him seems genuine.
-
Cirie is really a good schemer but she should not pull stunts like that again or else it would be her head on the chopping block. She is getting cocky already.
-
Terry is the most popular survivor according to the CBS poll. I dunno if this were wishful thinking but after the last tribal council, Terry might still win since he has the votes of Austin and Sally (for sure!) and could have the votes of Bruce and Courtney.
Just speculation but the final four looks like Terry, Cirie, Aras and Danielle. That hair could go a looooong way. ;D
-
You gotta love Shane's facial expressions. ;D
I think they should've shown Terry's vote. It would've elicited another bewildered look from Shane.
Smart move on Danielle's part if she does form an alliance with Terry next week. If Terry wins immunity again (which seems very likely at this point), he can even give her the immunity necklace, since it's the last chance to use the hidden idol, anyway. It'll force the sort-of smug Cirie and Aras to vote against each other. It should be a fun Tribal Council.
But I don't know. I think Terry's really a jerk with good editing. If you look at the additional videos at the official site (http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor12/), even his former tribemates Austin and Sally have some pointed comments about him and his attitude when playing the game. He'd really be the perfect person to take to the final two. So the spoilers may be true.[/END SPOILER]
There's an extra episode this season. Usually by the time you get down to the final four, it's already the two hour finale and one hour live reunion. Now there's another regular show, and then the 3-hour finale/reunion has been set for May 14th (Monday, May 15th in the Philippines). Having just three people for that final 2 hour finale will probably make it really boring.
-
Well, Shane's an out-of-work actor. ;D
That'd be an interesting episode. Cirie vs. Aras! It's really frustrating to see how Danielle could end up winning. It'd be Vecepia Part Deux. Being a pilot does tend to make Terry a natural jerk. The right stuff can make one cocky indeed. At least, he does have the record for winning most of the individual immunity challenges. He is also the most popular Survivor this season according to the CBS poll.
Although I expected the result of the tribal council, I wasn't counting on one more episode before the finale. May 15 is bloated with must-see shows.
-
I just found it interesting that each of the original tribes is represented in the final four. :)

egads! you're right! :o
-
I think Terry's the most arrogant Survivor player ever. The manner in which he complained to Cirie about where she left her torch was just disgusting and condescending. Then there was his behavior at the reward challenge. Unbelievable.
Whoever goes against Terry in the Final Vote will definitely win. He seems to have forgotten that this is not just a physical game, but a social game, as well. His social skills aren't severely lacking...
They're completely absent.
-
Some are speculating that it might be a Cirie vs. Aras final two. Terry is no Tom from Palau. He really blew it. The spoiler that Danielle might win could be false since the preview hinted that Cirie had a headstart with the fire.
-
I've learned from 12 seasons of Survivor that whoever appears to have an advantage in a challenge in the preview of next week's episode almost always ends up losing. ;D
-
i've never been a fan of aras before ... but seeing him totally upstage terry was INCREDIBLE.
terry acted like a spoiled brat today... and cirie is right, it's because she, aras and danielle spoiled his plans by voting of shane (who i have destested since day one.)
BTW, when is the finalé episode going to air anyway?? will studio 23 show it LIVE on the 15th??
-
They will show it at 1pm on Monday according to the promo.
-
i've never been a fan of aras before ... but seeing him totally upstage terry was INCREDIBLE.
I know what you mean. Aras was about equal to Shane for me on the dislike scale earlier in the season, but it was great seeing someone bring Terry down a few notches. And Terry SO didn't take defeat well! ;D

totally... terry acted like a baby who was denied his feeding bottle. talk about throwing a tantrum. LOL.

I'm always boggled by the way tie-breakers are decided in tribal councils.
In Survivor:Australian Outback, a tie-break is decided when if one of those voted have been previously nominated in other tribal councils, then those accumulated previous votes would sent him packing already.
In Survivor: Marquesas, a tie-break is decided by rock-picking from a bag, that if you pick a particular colored rock, then you get the boot.
In Survivor:Palau, the fire-making challenge was only used to decide who between Stefenie and Bobby Jon would stay in their tribe since they can't exactly vote out each other being the last two remaining tribe members. And they didn't get to actually write on any parchment and vote.
But in this edition of Survivor, the tie-break is decided by that same fire-making challenge? And Cirie even had advance knowledge of what will they expect in case of a tie. I maybe wrong, but I'm beginning to think that these tie-breakers are as ever-changing as the way rules are regarding tribe-switching in every edition of Survivor. ???

this is to keep things fresh, i suppose. if the contestants followed the show and knew what was coming, it would make for boring TV. ;D

great finale episode
exciting yung
1. tie breaker moment between cirie and danielle
2. reward challenge between terry and aras
3. immunity challenge kasi parehong pressured sina terry and aras
4. deal making para sa final 2.
in the end yung bet ko ang sole survivor
-
I'm so glad the online spoiler was wrong! ;D
One of the best final episodes in a long time. The final reward challenge was a true nailbiter, and Shane's "You lied, you cheated... you wrecked me" and "You're broke, you're homeless, you freeload off your dad" speech is the closest we've had to Susan's "rat-and-snake." Entertaining fun!
Too bad he spoiled it all by going from Palau Tiga's Susan Hawk to Africa's Kelly Goldsmith. That "pick a number" deal is just completely lame. As is almost everything from that season of the show, actually. ;)
Need some sleep... will watch the reunion tomorrow. 8)
-
maybe it's just me, but danielle during the reunion show was just so ... "invisible". :-[
terry's an arrogant ass... i'm actually glad he didn't win.
aras (baskauskas... LOL... greek pala siya.) the jerk, re-emerged briefly when he threatened to sabotage danielle's chances with the jury if she voted him off. oh well, i guess you can't change overnight. LOL.
very satisfying finale... i loved their real tight editing this season... uhm, i wonder why they never show "audition" clips in the reunion show anymore. ???
-
maybe it's just me, but danielle during the reunion show was just so ... "invisible". :-[
Including the winner, Aras. There was more applause for Cirie and Terry. The final two was the most ho-hum in recent memory. The only thing memorable about them are her jugs and his hair.
Looking back, the season was kinda flipside of Palau. What if Ian and Tom were rivals? What if Katie won the final immunity challenge? What if Ulong dominated the team challenges?
Cool send-off to the fallen castaways: burning of the skull! ;D The reward challenge was more entertaining than the final immunity challenge. Guess having a full meal wasn't an advantage before that lilypad balancing act. The jury was more entertaining than the final two, especially Shane and Courtney. He was avoiding her like the plague. Love the rubberface of InShane. He even has his hair on the hidden immunity idol.
So, exile island will be back next season. Does that mean including the hidden immunity idol? Hope it gets used this time.
-
aras (baskauskas... LOL... greek pala siya.)
;D
I thought I was the only one who laughed when they flashed his last name after he won. I was like, "Say what???"
Poor Danielle - it must really hurt to know that no matter who she chose to take to the Final Two, she didn't stand a chance of winning. But seriously, I think it would've been more interesting had Jeff asked the jury who they would've chosen between Aras and Terry. Would they still stick to their tribe alliances, or would enough people be swayed by the fact that Terry won the most individual immunities of all time, and lasted until the end despite not having any allies? I mean... surely Shane was, at least... 8)
-
A producer told EW the reason they ended with the cliffhanger before the finale this season: they were disappointed with the final two.
