Haven't seen the preview myself, but am told some type of merger/team switching is happening this week. No surprise really.

So what good did dividing teams by race do? This is just lame now.

Just like last season with the age and sexes, for 2 episodes, pretty lame.

Well, as expected:
Spoiler:
The "big twist" is over, and we're now back to just the regular game. They never keep these things up for long. For once I'd like them to shake things up for an entire season...not just an episode or two.

The funny thing is now when people get sent home, it actually WILL turn into a race issue

Agreed, there can't be much race conflict when they are seperate as they have no interaction. Once they merge, we'll see how the segregation goes

But watching a commercial, it looks like they are split up randomly. I was hoping they'd do something like blacks + latinos vs. whites + asians, as it'd be a bit more racial tension (possibly) than have a couple whites, asians, blacks, and latinos on each team.

I still think they need to be 2 tribes that randomly get seperated before each reward challenge, all the way to the merge.

Wow, is this an interesting thread. Are any of the above spoilers actually spoilers or do they just speculate about what is in the previews?

Not 100% confirmed, but most likely true spoilers. It doesn't give away who gets voted out, though, if that is what you are wondering.

Thanks Jeremy. I just looked at the "spoilers". I don't consider anything on the CBS website or a Survivor commercial a spoiler. Teasers yes, spoilers no. Just my opinion, but spoilerizing stuff like the above is just going to get people's guard down for when someone really does spoil something, like revealing the winner or final two or who gets voted out in an episode.

Teasers/previews are considered spoilers here. See the stickies at the top of the forum.

My suggestion is that folks unhappy with the current forum rules re:spoilers start a thread in the Forum Feedback section (I believe it's been debated there before a few times already) rather than bringing the debate here.

Easy solution is that when you use a spoiler tag for a preview, put something outside the tag that gives background info on your spoiler. For instance "Spoiler from preview:
Spoiler:
insert spoiler here
" etc.

It isn't a dumb rule at all, many shows (24 is probably the biggest offender) give huge spoilers in their previews. There are a number of shows that I purposefully don't watch previews for because of this.

^^ What he said.

If you have a really big spoiler, like who wins, set it up like this:

The winner of Survivor: Cook Islands is:

I'm glad they are back to two tribes. The game is much more interesting that way.

I don't find her hot or ugly, but I find her annoying as HELL. She's obviously the type of bitch who thinks she's God's gift to men. And she does has that big annoying horse mouth.

Dreadlock chick (still forget her name) is right up there with stupidest people ever on this game.

I think she and Cowboy made a mistake voting out Cecilia, though I'm happy they did. The 2 whites and 2 asians could be a strong alliance - good combo of brains and brawn.

She's right down the middle, but her personality is incredibly annoying. She's the kind of girl you tell "I love you" to get in the sack and then never call.

I'm backing Yul on this one. He is by far the most likeable one there.

For my own eye candy I want Parvati to stick around.
