Thanks for starting the thread for Survivor 20. I am really enjoying myself over here so far and let me remind your members that OFG was the one leading me here with her friendly messages to me. Okay, there is info from all different stages of Survivor 20 so lets just jump right in. If I forget something, I will come back and add it later. First off it will be called Heroes vs Villains. On the tribe flags it has those words. Also on the flags instead of outwit, outlast, and outplay it will have Revenge, Return, Redemption. Sort cool?
I am sure you guys know the tribes by now but just in case - Villains have Tyson, Rob M., Coach, Russell, Randy Bailey, Parvati, Danielle, Courtney, Jerri, and Sandra. Yes, Sandra is a villain and I was told not only was she shocked, so was everyone else! On the Heroes tribe we have Candice, Steph, Sugar, Amanda, Cirie, Tom W, Rupert, Colby, James, and JT. Yes, JT was there. The heroes buffs are blue and the villains are red. The merge buffs are black.

Sugar is the first boot. I was not told about the rumor of the threatened suicide from her but that does not mean it didnt happen, I just have not been told that. I was told she was busted using a cell phone to text people from Loser Lodge. I was also told that JT and Sugar had a fling afterwards at some Survivor related show they both did.

Speaking of JT, I was told that he wont be remembered now for sweeping the votes as an undisputed champ. I was told he made a blunder at the hands of Russell that he will long be remembered for. He does do fairly well before that happens.

Speaking of Russell, I am told he did not get along with Rupert and grew tired of Coach's tales. He also became part of what I have labeled 'The Evil Alliance' with Parvati. They made a very strong alliance and go very far.

Natalie was an alternate and knew that from the start. They were afraid Courtney would not be healthy enough and wanted Natalie as a backup. Of course Courtney did make it.

Something else that has some people confused is the story of Jenna Morasca being out there in Samoa to do the pre-show interviews with the cast. That is not true. She did those interviews at the CBS studios in California before the players departed for Samoa.

There has been lots of speculating on Rob M. He did not make the merge but he did play hard. Some are reporting he just moped around because he wanted to be home with his wife and baby. I am sure he missed them but he was trying to play the game to win but he did he leave before the merge. The way I was told about his time there was that he was trying to play his same type of game by running everything and some people on his tribe decided they could not have that so they 'sent him home to his family.'

James is injured again this time!! Poor guy, he is so nice and has the worst luck. He injured his knee and I am told it is still bothering him to this day and probably will forever. He was not a medivac, in fact he tried participating in a few more challenges after being injured but his tribe made him a sympathy boot. The quote I was told was 'when big strong guys fall, they fall hard.'

One of my favorites, don't holler at me, Steph also left very early. One funny tidbit about her leaving was the players on the villains tribe had to explain to Russell why they were surprised at the heroes getting rid of her so soon because of her strength in challenges. I guess he did not watch tapes of any of her previous appearances.

Colby and Jerri both make it past the merge and are at least as far as the jury.

Randy Bailey leaves very quickly and does not make the merge.

Russell Hantz only had 10 days in between doing 19 and 20. He ended up losing between 45-55 pounds in all.

I have been told he makes the finals to both 19 and 20. I have a small part of me that is still wondering about that but that is what I was told.

I was told the people who make the finals on 20 have been in the very same position in the past, meaning all have at least made it to the finals to plead their cases on a previous sesason. If Russell did in fact make the finals on 20 it would make sense that he made the finals on 19.

I also heard an interesting quote about players making it that far. The quote I heard was that a player said 'there are 2 phases to playing the game, 1 is to get yourself before the jury and the other is to convice the jury to vote for you, I am really good at part 1 but not so good at that last part.'

I have not been told about hidden idols but was led to believe more than 1 player fell to them. I have not been told anything about whether they have exile or not.

I was told that part of the strategy for one alliance was to get rid of Coach, Tyson, and JT because it was felt they would have a cross tribe alliance. I was also lead to believe that Coach left before the merge but was full of his stories again.

One other thing I was told was that the producers feel that after CBS sees 19 and 20 they will be begging for more. I also was told they had plans on the tables to do more seasons and had even asked one player from 20 if they would be interested in returning at a later season.

Well if I forgot anything I will post it later.

I am human, I make mistakes. If I do, I own up to them. Please understand when gathering all this info it can get confusing at times and there has been a couple of things I had to go back to the sources and get clarification on. If that should happen I would be the first to correct my mistake.

Thanks!
