Survivor 39: Island of the Idols
 

Apparently Sandra & Boston Rob will be on S39 as "advisers", but not active players :skull:

I hope this doesn't rule Sandra out of S40, since it films almost immediately after </3

:skull:

BB14 Coach twist teas

Wtf. Hope it’s nothing more than when Cochran came back in GC

Speculation that it might be called "Island of Idols" as there's been rumours of this season being based around Idol advantages or something. Plus, Sandra and Rob are Survivor "idols".

If it means we'll get a whole season with Sandra then why not!

Ugh I absolutely hate this.

Twist being they automatically make final tribal council

Island of Idols :skull:

Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia and Jordin Sparks are coming!

Michelle McManus to win 10-0-0?

A live performance on the reunion sponsored by Sia?

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen but it reminds me of the champions twist in Survivor SA5 and reminds me that I need to finish watching that season :love:

Is this actually going to happen? I don't like the thought of "advisers" at all BUT Sandra & Rob are the way to go if it does happen. :clap1: (I hope that would still mean they're on the Winners season though)

Also, isn't the cast usually already revealed for the next season by now? :think:

Island of the Idols is apparently very likely to be the title:

Another black girl added!!!!! This cast is looking to be pretty diverse, everyone looks different from each other so far!

I've 100% seen Dan Spilo before, just can't remember from what... and makes sense since he's a 'celebrity manager.' Kinda excited to see what he's like. http://insidesurvivor.com/wp-content..._Spilo_913.png

Also, is this season still legitimately going to have Rob & Sandra as advisers? :joker:

More immunity idols than ever before?

Sandra and ha big head we stan <3

Ok I just saw the preview for this season

1) The statues :joker:

2) Getting some confessionals from Rob & Sandra makes me realize I guess I'm fine with this. Worst case scenario, still getting Rob/Sandra confessionals and moments to help bring entertainment for the season.

3) Will they really not end up playing at some point? I just can't help but feel like they would :think: Even if it's entering post-merge or something. Idk... maybe it's just the BBUS roots in me making me think this lol

4) The newbies look like they don't belong on Survivor :skull: Is that part of the twist / why they're getting mentors? ffff

Maybe they never even seen one episode :skull: would be a funny mess tbh

The diversity JUMPED out this season huh, no one looks like someone else from the cast so far (plus there's still that Asian guy from the preview to be added as well)

The South African version had a coach's twist years back, though it wasn't past players. As said Big Brother did it as well, I'm not into having past players paraded as experts, something Big Brother does a lot of.

For anyone that missed it:

This looks corny as hell

A black guy and south asian girl have been added! This cast is shaping up to be one of the most diverse in a very long time :love:

Oop a new Cook Islands/Fiji era?

KARISHMA the first Indian on the show :love:

September 25th premiere date, 90 minute premiere!

http://insidesurvivor.com/premiere-d...eason-39-39031

85 minutes to introduce the new players followed by 5 solid minutes of Sandra telling Rob to go in the ocean and wash his ass, I would hope

(I know that's not taking commercials into consideration, but honestly, what commercial break wouldn't be improved by getting Sandra Diaz-Twine to yell indiscriminately over the top of them?)

Two new players, including one who looks like she could be an Apprentice UK third boot:

Aaron Meredith

Vince Moua

27 · MERCED, CA · ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR

I wonder if there was some kind of education theme that got aborted somewhere down the line... nearly a third of the cast are students or work in school admissions

(and in typing that, I remember B*ston R*b's confessional about "Survivor school" being in session and... oh dear)

The diversity of the cast is giving me good feelings about the season. I just hope we get good character development and that Sandra/Rob don't swallow up all the airtime (they definitely will)

This shouldn't make up a sentence :suspect:
