Four tribes. Young versus old, Men versus women. The wildest challenges ever. And those who lose will have to face Exile Island. If you're ever watched Survivor, this is the one that you've got to see from the very start. Survivor: Exile Island begins Thursday, February 2nd only on CBS."

Originally Posted By LacyBelle I heard about the four tribe thing, but not how/when the would be combined. The CBS website states, "This time, the castaways will begin their competition as four tribes: older men, older women, younger men and younger women." <a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor12/meet.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.cbs.com/primetime/s urvivor12/meet.shtml</a> It should be an interesting season. Mark Burnett needs to keep trying to come up with new ideas in order for the show not to get too stale.

Originally Posted By seanyoda I prefer 16 castaways over 18 or (eghads!) 20. This means that we don't have to have an episode where "both" tribes vote someone off. However, looking at the schedule, to get the final 4 episode into the May sweeps, CBS will have to draw things out or skip a few weeks.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle <<as long as they don't do a season of "SURVIVOR: FAMILY EDITION" =P>> Bite your tongue! That was the weakest season of the Race. I hope they don't think they're going to try that again. I'm looking forward to the old format starting up again soon. OK, back to your regularly scheduled Survivor talk......
