Survivor is more of a prestige show that maybe you could actually get real celebrities that are willing to play the real game (I mean, they have in the past with legitimate star pro athletes), but it's probably a bad idea to attempt it unless ratings start flagging pretty bad for the show. It seems hard for shows to go back to normal seasons once they've done a "celeb" one. For a goofy winter Big Brother then sure whatever even though it'll probably be people from other reality shows, former actors that washed out of Hollywood 20 years ago, and social media "stars."

Yeah, looking at the page two of that, seems like someone saw the box of props they had and figured they could do something with them. Half of the "82" items aren't even gameplay things per se, it's all the snuffers and some of the voting urns from each season.

I have a theory that they never show much footage of people on Exile/Redemption Islands because they give them free food and shelter and don't want the illusion to be shattered

I mean, I assume there's something to that. I imagine you get the basic rice and access to fruit and water and fish that you get on a tribe but since you can't really hold one Exile accountable for the last one not rationing you kind of just have to give them stuff. So I imagine each Exile gets a bag of rice, a water source, some gear, and a bundle of banana and they live free and easy for a couple of days because they have no reason to share or ration. But I doubt they're getting food from the catering table. Although, maybe the bananas and I guess I wouldn't be surprised if instead of a well it was just some kind of thermos or case of bottles.

That was the whole conceit in Gabon, get idol clue or get food. Sugar found the idol in her first go and cashed in on the tropical getaway the next few weeks she was sent out. Hashtag sugar shack.

It's funny because the first time she cashed in on the food she enjoyed it, then the next time she broke down crying because she was getting food and she felt bad that other people weren't. Man, Sugar was about as predictable as Abi-Maria.

James also kept his immunity idols (they were his 'gifts from home' in HvV), so they probably just reproduced them.

He got them back when the season was over. Same with all the other artifacts; the show tracked down the people who bought them and either bought them back or rented them for the season.

Probst claims that everything is authentic and they tracked down and borrowed all of the props that had been sold / kept by other castaways. I saw him tell a funny story in the interview about them trying to borrow Tai's idol from someone who bought it on an ebay auction years ago, and the guy didn't believe it was really production calling him until Probst himself spoke to him on the phone. EDIT: This is that interview https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/survivor-ghost-island-jeff-probst-mark-burnett-preview-new-seasons-twists-1069737 I had a detail wrong: the guy still didn't believe it even after Probst was on the phone with him, so then they just played hard-to-get and the guy caved (????). mancalamania fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jan 27, 2018 |

Isn't it kind of the opposite? Like aren't there so many fake idols that the players are all super wise to it and they ended up just editing out any entire fake idol plot from this season because it went nowhere?

So I wonder if / how they are actually going to use all the snuffers and immunity idols in the game? Maybe as part of some stupid challenge? Or just having them on display at tribal council? Either way, I am worried about a season where they promote the twists before they promote the Survivors.

Found it: Jeff posted:For instance, castaways who spend the night on Ghost Island will sleep underneath the 35 previous torch snuffers. So as they drift off, they are reminded that one mistake can mean your death in the game.

See I'm not even aware enough to realise that the snuffer looks different every season. Only the ultra-geeks like Max or Shirin would probably be able to look at one and go, 'yup, that one's from Worlds Apart. I remember when it snuffed out Joe's torch and tears from every mom out there flew.' Also that just made me realise that Colton has never had his torch snuffed and that might be part of why Probst hates him. (Also because Colton is one of the worst people to ever go on the show more than once.)

I've noticed a few of them that seemed really different. The Cook Islands one was a bell, for example. I think the Palau one was shaped like an army helmet.

is there a comprehensive list of all the rules of the game online anywhere? IIRC the first Boston Rob season prompted them to put in some really weird rules meant to make it so that you "can't" share a victory, but with Blood Vs. Water that clearly had to go out the window to an extent, and also, that's something that would be insanely hard to police anyway (like, if someone buys a car and keeps it in their name but lets me drive it 24/7, that's not "technically" sharing the money but it functionally totally is)

Actually sharing the money afterwards is fine. They just want to prevent a race-to-the-bottom situation where the winner is the person amongst the Final 3 who promises to give away the largest percentage of the million to the jury. ETA: Okay I guess if the above-linked rules are real, they also prohibit ACTUALLY sharing the prize, although the way the rules are written they clearly mostly care about the conspiring quid-pro-quo stuff. I suspect actually sharing without conspiring to share is not really enforced since I remember the story after MvGX was that Adam took the whole cast on a Vegas trip with his winnings. mancalamania fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Jan 29, 2018 |

It's a shame we don't have another US season of hutned this year to watch with survivor being gone right now. For those interested 4 eps of the latest UK season of Hunted are out, it's decent so far but this time the prizepool of 100k is shared between the winners
