Survivor: One World

[The Hitchhiking Ghost]

Yes! I like the sound of this season so far. They're back to reward challenges. They're adding do-it-yourself challenges (interesting) and shaking up the hidden immunity idol by making the person who finds it have to give it to someone on the other team. And it will start out as men against women (done that, but could be different with them all on one beach). Really looking forward to it.

This isn't quite correct. Watching the TV Guide preview show, here is what Jeff said about hidden immunity:

1. No clues to the location - they have to find it on their own (which they've been doing anyway)
2. One idol will be assigned to the men and one to the women.
3. If a Survivor finds the other tribes HII, then they have to surrender it to a person on that tribe, a person of their choice. If they find their own idol, then they get to keep it.

And then as you said, plus:
-No Redemption Island (Jeff said they wanted to give it a break - translated: bad idea to begin with)
-Tribes live on same beach
-Tribes sorted by men and women
-They are back in Somoa again
-To start the game each tribe has 60 seconds to take whatever supplies they can off the truck that they arrive in (they've done this before).
-Survivor will have its first small person (men's)

All in all it appears to be a extremely stereotypical cast. What will make or break this season will most likely be how the "one world" concept plays out. As Jeff says, you could have two existing alliances in two tribes going at the same time.

We'll see.
