First looks…

by

So, you know there are spoilers all over the net who are gleeful about having found out the casts before the official announcements. They also are gleefully putting their boot lists out there (none of which you’ll find here, thanks) and take great joy in having it all figured out right up till the final three, before the season premiere even airs. They are most awesome, these spoilers, they are! Survivor Fever collects their spoiling ways and putting them in a one-stop spoiler shop. Ya’ll know that I don’t post spoilers here often for Survivor, but these pictures that were let out by Film Palau don’t give anything away.

They just give us the first look at Tribal Council for Survivor: Micronesia!

Among other pictures, there’s also the following, which clears up any and all questions about JUST how the Hidden Immunity Idol can be used in game.

Which, of course, means there will be Hidden Immunity Idols once again, as well as the promise that Exile Island is back too.

Other little non-spoiler production tidbits:
**The crew of nearly 200, and 80 forty foot containers arrived in September, 2007 to start building the set, transforming an empty lot into the Survivor Micronesia Camp. They spent four mounts in Palau, and brought millions of dollars into the local community.

**They used flights to other nearby islands to allow it to be called Survivor: Micronesia, instead of boring ole ‘Palau 2′.

**The helicopter used for aerial shots, and also Jeff’s traditional opening monolog during the first episode is a Bell 400, and they built a helipad for it at camp.

**The theme this time will revolve around Traditional Island Warrior - last time they were in Palau, it was based on World War II.

**Despite the fact that the filming shut down the biggest tourism area in Palau for several months during filming, the people of Palau embraced the return of Survivor and they were welcomed by the community at large.

**The crew itself, as we saw in some of Jeff’s backstage youtubes last season, is a mix of professionals and folks picked up along the way - the aura is said to be part film set, part surf camp and part fraternity.

There - that should keep you busy and speculating for a little while, huh? Less then a month to go! WHOOO!
