 There were some results, with a pending Sudden Death Write Off: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1162763.html
Where [personal profile] pixiebelle  proved herself to be SERIOUSLY old school when she reintroduced the Idol Birthday Curse!!!  (people used to get voted out on or near their birthday all the time) 

and a new prompt: therealljidol.dreamwidth.org/1163131.html

But that's not what I am here to talk to you about today.  I want to know if you've heard the Good Word.   No, not that - the Good Word About Survivor.  :) 

Not only is there a new US season starting tomorrow night (on the heels of without a doubt the best season of the new era, which followed another really good season... which might just be comparing it to how bad the last few seasons of the old era/first couple of the new era were.  :)  but 6 of the 14 member cast have been revealed for Australian Survivor: Australia vs the World!!!   insidesurvivor.com/australian-survivor-vs-the-world-first-cast-revealed-57727


Originally this was going to be Australia Vs the US season, but I'm reasonably sure with how close it is to the filming of US Season 50, they had to scrap that plan. They also stripped it down to an embarrassing 15 days. Considering that most AU seasons are 50+ days, this is just weird. Not sure what anyone is going to do in that short of a time period that is going to resemble Survivor. But it might be fun. 

Pretty sure it's going to be 7 Australians vs 7 from the rest of the world (US, New Zealand, South Africa and Norway. I've never seen a season from Norway, so I'm intrigued about that!)   The US players are all iconic, even though I'm only really a FAN of one of them.  (Cirie) The Australians are all pretty big "gets" for the franchise, although I highly suspect one of the players who hasn't been announced yet of the other 4 has *got* to be Luke Toki. If's not, what are they even doing?  ;) 

Those 3 Americans are probably all the US players, since that only leaves 4 spots and 3 other counties.  :) My guess is 1 from Norway. 1 from New Zealand and 2 from South Africa (which is a far bigger and more popular franchise than the other two. Although maybe NZ gets two given how close they are. But that would be a casting bust IMO) 

I KNOW there are a couple people excited to talk about this. But who knows - maybe some of you are too!  :)  If not, well it isn't the first time I've posted something no one felt like commenting on! :D
