This thread was made possible thanks to SoleSurvivor . He put the words down, set up the fantasy league (which you should all join below) and helped me out with advice for making things pretty. Its more his OT than mine, I'm just posting it. So everyone be sure to give him a thank you!
Come on in, guys!
It's that time again. Twice a year, 16-20 Americans hit the beach for 39 days and test their bodies and minds as they compete in challenges and vote each other out with the goal of taking home the title of "Sole Survivor" and the $1,000,000 prize.
On Wednesday, February 28th, 20 new castaways will hit the beaches of Fiji in an attempt to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other using whatever means necessary to sit there at the end for a chance to win it all. For the first time since Survivor: Samoa (season 19), the castaways are not being sorted by labels (gender, hero/villain, blue/white collar, blood/water, millennial/gen xer, etc. etc). That said, the season will continue the trend of a theme that will bleed into every aspect of these castaways 39 days in Fiji.
For this, the show's 36th(!) season, Survivor will this time revolve around the concept of the fictional "Ghost Island," a twist on Exile Island that will pay tribute to the fans that have kept this show on the air for 18 years. Jeff Probst describes Ghost Island as the graveyard for Survivor mistakes past, and will test these new castaways to see if they can reverse the curse or repeat the same mistakes that came before. As always, expect big strategic moves, intense challenges, Shyamalan twists, and epic blindsides. It's always a good time to jump into the show, and YES - "this show is still on TV." Survivor still averages 8-12 million viewers per episode, almost always winning its timeslot, and sometimes the entire programming night. It's also known to be one of the most authentic reality shows on TV. They really do waste away out there to try to win big.

- Ghost Island – The central theme of the season is also its biggest twist. Castaways will be temporarily exiled for various reasons to Ghost Island, which is littered with the actual "relics" or "talismans" of Survivor past. Not replicas. These items all share something in common – they have been misused in the past, leading to the in-game demise of some of Survivor's most legendary players. The exact nature of Ghost Island is being kept under wraps, but expect it to give an upper hand to players who use their time on it correctly.
- Limited Supplies & Tribe Leader – The game will hit the ground running with each tribe asked to pick a tribe leader who will designate two members of their tribe to compete against the two from the other tribe picked in the same fashion for a reward that will give the players an upperhand in the game from the get-go. In addition, survival will play a bigger hand this season, as a much smaller supply of rice will be allotted to each tribe than the show has been giving out in recent years, forcing castaways to fish and forage who otherwise may not have.
- Return of the Final 4 Fire Making Twist – The ill received final four fire-making twist from season 35 is returning. HOWEVER, this time the castaways were notified of the twist before the season, giving them the option to play around it if they so choose. This twist, for those not familiar, guarantees the winner of the final 4 immunity challenge a spot at Final Tribal Council, as well as the ability to pick someone else who will accompany them. The remaining two castaways will compete in a fire making challenge to vie for the final spot available at FTC.
