I hope WIN in WA manages to get their act together and show the Heroes vs Villains series, and at a decent hour. So far they are doing well for the Samoa series.

Would be really interesting to know who and how many were asked to return but declined.

It’s all well and good to complain that X isn’t on it but maybe X just wasn’t interested.

Dean: (David can correct me on this if he knows better) I believe CBS are in the habit of negotiating for blocks of two years at a time. Pretty sure that’s what’s happened the last couple of times. Every time the renewal comes up, Jeff tends to make a couple of ambiguous comments about it maybe time for him to go and Survivor fans hit the panic button but he always comes back more committed than before.

Fraggle you got confused by what I said. I was saying that Jeff Probst agreeing with the choices and arguing for them so vehemently makes him a moron

ummmm VMan I’m pretty sure Jeff Probst hands picks the contestants lol. That’s what they have executive producers for.

Exactly. Olympics will be wall to wall….

Anthony, Nine are sure to replay hours and hours of Olympic coverage during Australian primetime so there’s no chance of seeing Survivor anytime soon.

Also – does anyone know how many more seasons of Survivor there are going to be? And if Jeff will still be around for them? I hope it goes for many years to come, the last 3 seasons that have been on (Samoa, Tocantins, Gabon) I would put in my top 5 favourite seasons.

Can’t wait to see this, overall I’m pretty happy with the cast, except for those that were just on for their second time a few seasons ago on Micronesia (Amanda, Parvati, Cirie etc.)… would’ve preferred someone like Peih Gee or Taj or Wanda…

I know they won’t but I wish they brought back displaying the AGE next to the contestant’s name on the screen… I don’t care about their occupation when I’ve seen it a hundred times.

Here’s hoping Nine have it on asap!

David, you do realise its not going to conflict with Nine’s Winter Olympics. When you factor in time differences, the majority of the Olympics coverage will be in the morning.

I hate seeing someone back for a third+ crack. There’s plenty of great Heroes and Villains around to not have to drag the carcasses of Bawstun Rob or Amanda out for yet another spin.

I’m still the chairman of the “Rupert Boneham for Survivor Host” club for when Jeff steps down. He’d be Brilliant and would breathe such new life into the show.

Jeff you’re an idiot. To choose Danielle over Corinne from Gabon, definitely the 2nd best villainess, and to choose Amanda for her billionth day on Survivor when no one really likes her that much, over people like Natalie, PG, Taj or Danni is ridiculous.

And what about Natalie from Fans vs Favourites? Does anyone not remember her infamous scene where she raises her hand to the camera showing how much she hates men?!?!

No Jeff, it looks like you’re not a survivor fan.

I will say that 90% of the cast I’m happy with though.

From what I’ve been told, some castaways like Ozzy and Natalie (Fans v Faves) were cast on the show but were either alternates or were not needed at the last minute.

looks like this is gonna be a good season!
suprised ozzy isnt there seeings as though theres other third timers

and maybe a bit of a mind blank here but what did candice do to in cook islands to get her into heroes group? i may have totally forgotten something there?

good villians line-up was expecting corrine from gabon to be there, she was quite the villian!! but all in all a very good lineup!

Doubt we’ll see Johnny Fairplay back – he asked to be voted off Fans v Favourites because he missed his partner and wanted to go home.

Apart from the return of the really quite dull Amanda and the bizarre inclusion of Danielle, I’m digging this cast. The more Courtney and Tyson sass, the better!

I am surprised/mildly dismayed by the lack of Fairplay, Yau-man and Shane, though.
