Very technically, S7 was Pearl Islands- Panama.

Hm, I've gotta say one thing. Those that believe the Gabon preview video is real should go on youtube and search "MaxPointy".

Yeah, I mean, sure it's really well made and probably took a lot of time/effort, but it's not done by anyone who has anything to do with cbs.

Animal planet featured surfing hippos about three hours ago. I'm sure they'll have it on repeat at around 11 or 12 or 1 or 2 AM, EST. <3 <3

Was anyone else actually happy that they have 18 contestants? I was expecting 20, and I was so excited to see that there's only 18.

 I would so quit on Day 1 if I had to survive in that environment. I'd pull a Fairplay.
As a viewer, I love the location. But if I was applying to be on the show I'd hold out for a return to Panama or one of the cushier locations. |

Yeah, personally the thing I would hate the most is mosquitoes or other bugs that annoy the shit out of people. How the hell are they supposed to sleep. Looks
like we might get a couple scenes dedicated to the terrible bugs (a la the Marquesan no-nos).

Hey, if that means we get a few bits like "Wake up Maraamu" then I'm all for it.

^^^ I forgot about "wake up Maaramu." That was a great scene.

Oh yeah, that's the one I was thinking of. I always get those two mixed up.
If I was applying to be on the show, I'd hope for a return to Cook Islands. China would have been cool too. Guatemala would have been the worst, I think. I heard horror stories about the heat and humidity during that season. Stephenie almost died, apparently, after one of the gruelling challenges. |

Didn't like half of the cast in Africa need to have IVs because they were so dehydrated by the end? Or was that just a myth?

I was researching Gabon...And under the Jeff Probst Article from EW. I found that someone had posted this about Gabon...
Gabon RPCV's Sun, May 18, 2008 at 08:29 PM EST
As returned peace corps volunteers we look forward to seeing Gabon receive some attention. It is a beautiful country with great people. Our lives are forever changed from the time we spent there. There are some things to watch out for: bot and filaria flies(both involve worms in your body, not good), army ants(legions of these guys clear whole villages for a day or two, they clean things up nicely though), mosquitos(the mosquito net is king, if not provided these survivors are toast), those surfing hippos(don't go too close, I was chased by one and it's no family day at the zoo), sharks(the coastal waters look nice but there are a LOT out there) and bush taxis(just don't do it). There are some BIG insects to see. I had to resort to Regab(beer) to fall asleep with the bugs that were clinging to the bottom of my mattress. Great things to look for are: cool birds(hornbills, blue plantain eater and african grey parrots), great food, all sorts of unusual tropical stuff. HAVE FUN survivors
