We haven't heard any word of the season being greenlit by CBS, so why has an article been created? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottAHudson (talk • contribs)

[1] They're accepting applications now, so obviously that means something has been confirmed. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

according to survivorskills.com.. Survivor 17 is Survivor: Gabon... is this for reaL??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.213.254.131 (talk) 11:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

they have scouted the following locations for possible filming:
- Kalayaan Islands, Philippines
- Tokelau
- Niue
- Gabon
- Canary Islands
- Nigeria
- Ghana
- Galapagos Islands
- Bahamas —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.60.243.20 (talk) 14:22, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any sources to confirm this? Otherwise it's a definate no for the article Survivorfan101 (talk) 05:29, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd LOVE Survivor if they went to the Galapagos! Stunning wildlife. A climate you'd NEVER expect, everthing Survivor needs! They've overdone it near Australia. They need to come closer to the Prime Meridian here! From Tagi to Bottom, MySurvivorPartay (Wobbuffet!. Dats right) 01:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's real cool, MSP, just remember to read (or re-read) WP:TPG at some point. In a nutshell: talk pages are for the discussion of the upkeep of the article, not the subject content. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 04:26, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Filipino though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.114.241.16 (talk) 21:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yeah.. tagaLog.. fiLming is scheduLed on June-August 2008.. but i think they have made it so earLy just before the storms came in..

and Jeff have toLd before that they are interested to fiLm in the PhiLippines —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.69.225.179 (talk) 02:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it for now because the report seems rather questionable from what I could read of it. The article seemed to have conflicting information in that casting was still going on, yet some celebrities were already cast (which is itself questionable). If somebody could provide a full translation, that would be great. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am from Camarines Sur, Philippines. The whole island of Lahuy in Caramoan, Camarines Sur has been closed to the public for the shooting of the said reality show. It is not clear though if it is the US or Asian version. -Filipinayzd (talk) 10:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GMA Network got the franchise for Survivor Philippine version according to this news. -Filipinayzd (talk) 10:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the additional link. So for the US version, it's only rumor, not fact. Therefore, it can't be added to the article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Filming of Survivor in Caramoan, Camarines Sur Philippines is not a rumor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.217.27.45 (talk • contribs)

True, but what they are filming (US or Philippine version) is rumor and therefore can not be included. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:35, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's French Survivor.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.60.243.20 (talk) 07:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The actual location for the next season of this series will be in Gabon. Not in the Philippines. -- 08:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.97.101.235 (talk)

Nice photos, but there is no identifiable Survivor gear in any of them. Just pictures of boats, huts being constructed, and a beach. Having captions that say Survivor do not mean that they are Survivor. Nothing is from a reliable source either. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded the logo, which can be found here. I guess it can't be added until the finale of 16 airs tonight, so you can add it tonight when it's officially announced. Thanks -theblueflamingo^Squawk 18:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Guess this one was a fake. Will replace it with real one, I guess. -theblueflamingo^Squawk 03:23, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a complaint to you guys.

You keep putting up OFFICIAL stuff before we in Spokane even watch the episodes. Don't you know ANYTHING about the time zone? You should know about time zone. In my homestate, it is NOT the same time as in your homestates. Please stop putting up OFFICIAL stuff before I watch the episodes, it could cause MAJOR spoilers. Please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.32.3.135 (talk) 02:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We're well aware of time zones. Wikipedia does not delay publishing things based on time zone spoilers (I can't find the guideline on that at the moment, but I'll keep looking). My suggestion is that if you don't want to find out what is happening on an episode before it airs wherever you are that you don't visit Wikipedia and don't use the Internet in general because you could run into spoilers elsewhere besides here. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:38, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I must second the sentiments of Gogo Dodo. It's basic common sense. Don't read the wikipedia page of the show you want to watch hours beforehand. I live in California and I would never think to do that if I didn't want to know. Agrippina Minor (talk) 17:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, think about the people in Gabon itself who probably don't even have Survivor at all! We can't just ignore the information because one person or group of people don't want to know about it. That's censorship. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 07:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The filming is over and the cast hasn't been revealed yet. I wonder when they will be revealed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.56.124.104 (talk) 02:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are usually revealed about a month before the premiere. Since it starts September 18th, they could announce it any day now, although next week seems the most likely. Starwarsrulez (talk) 07:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW a promo has started airing on CBS. 75.179.146.142 (talk) 06:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hear they are waiting for the Olympics to end, and they will reveal the cast the day after the closing ceremony. If you'd like cast spoilers, go to survivorfever.net. They can't go in the article, but they are always right. Rj1020 (talk) 19:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well according to the official CBS website, they are going to announce the cast tomorrow. 75.179.146.142 (talk) 00:42, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External link #7 is dead. A quick google search reveals the article mirrored somewhere:
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/06/05/arts/People-Jeff-Probst.php
can anyone edit the external link accordingly? Owoc (talk) 21:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I can get on that! Right Away! From Tagi to Bottom, MySurvivorPartay (Wobbuffet!. Dats right) 21:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any sources for this? Certainly doesn't look like the official site has that breakdown. If not it should be removed. PageantUpdater talk • contribs 20:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw from a promo that red is one of the colors and that yellow is another color. I saw the red color in the cast promo and yellow in a picture on Survivor Fever's Gabon home page. 98.17.118.185 (talk) 22:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tribal breakdown has been confirmed by vidcap analysis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.192.18.169 (talk) 23:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, it's still unsourced and original research. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well anyone who has seen the cast introduction video on the CBS website can confirm that that tribe colors are indeed yellow and red. I know its early, but these are the colors I feel best match the buffs.

MarkMc1990 (talk) 03:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like the color choice for the red; I think it's a bit darker. spider1224 11:55, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Red Tribe: Crystal, Dan, Danny, Gillian, Ken, Matty, Michelle, Randy, Susie Yellow Tribe: Ace, Bob, Charlie, Corinne, Jacque, Jessica, Kelly, Marcus, Paloma

The tribe were revealed in the "meet the cast" video. There's no reason why you can't show the colors now. 76.252.1.35 (talk) 22:08, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about

for the red tribe? MarkMc1990 (talk) 00:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I like that better. spider1224 15:27, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
