~ SURVIVOR Samoa ~ Season 19 ~

[momrek06]

19th Installment of the Hit Television Series Premieres on Thursday, Sept. 17th

CBS announced that 20 castaways will compete on SURVIVOR: SAMOA, when the 19th installment of the Emmy Award-winning series premieres Thursday, Sept. 17 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

In one of the most beautiful Survivor locations yet, 20 castaways will be left to fend for themselves among Samoa’s white sand beaches, lush green valleys and towering waterfalls. Despite the picturesque landscape, the castaways will face exposure to elements and wildlife living in the mysterious rainforests that cover rugged volcanic mountain peaks. For 39 days, they will endeavor to outwit, outplay and outlast one another in order to win the title of Sole Survivor.

Surrounded by coconut palms in a land steeped in tradition, the Samoans who inhabit this island have a proud history and strong sense of community that has enabled their own survival. From the start of the game, Survivor embraces this Samoan culture by incorporating an ancient tradition of electing an individual leader of the village. Without speaking, both tribes must immediately choose one member of their group to become their sole decision maker, their chief.

Survivor DISer's join in!!!!

I love how the Tribal Council video is a cute rip-off of Lost orientation videos.

I want in!!

I love Survivor. It is my favorite show. I especiallly love all the people the get upset because someone lied to them.

I mean really - you have 16 people fighting for a million dollars and you really expect everyone to be honest?!?!

Great show.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Survivor!!!
I'm so glad we're getting into the fall season of TV!!!
I cannot wait!
Survivor is one of the very few shows that DPartner and I watch together. I love it. We both work full time, she goes to school part time in the evenings, and we have a 2 year old. SO our TV time is limited at best. It's good to have 1 or 2 shows that we can enjoy together. I know it sounds corny, but we consider it "down time" that we can share
She has class Monday-Wednesday in the evenings, and the one comment she made was that as long as Survivor is still on Thursday nights, we'll be OK!!!

I haven't had a chance to look closely at the cast yet. But I did take a glance. Looks like a "pretty" season! Lots of "lookers".

While we're waiting for the next 2 weeks to go by, I thought it might be fun to ask other Survivor fans a question. (I hope this is ok!)

I've often wondered how I'd fare if I were a contestant on Survivor. I've come to the conclusion that I'd probably do OK in most aspects except for one: I cannot suffer in silence! I'd be the one talking too much about how cold/hot/tired/hungry/thirsty I was, and they'd be booting my butt off the island at the first tribal council!

I think if I could learn to suffer in silence, then I'd be ok. LOL

So how about you? What would be your downfall if you ever were a contestant??

 

[LaraK]

Eating bugs. I don't think I could eat bugs, that would be my downfall.

 

[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Eating bugs. I don't think I could eat bugs, that would be my downfall.

I think that they finally skipped that last time... so hopefully done with!

Should be good fun!

Ohhh thats good.

Well, asuming I could pass physically (2x cancer survivor) there would be two x marks against me.

First - I am painfully shy with new people. So it would be hard to make an alliance early on.

Second - once I get "comfortable" with people I tend to get bossy - which would in effect end any alliance I may have made- or get me booted off.

Ofcourse - these things make me a perfect PTA president. I am quiet and respectful with the new parents I meet, then once I get to know them I get them to pitch in.
