Some quick tidbits about this season:

- The tribes are chosen through a regular old school yard pick-em, and then the contestants are immediately put into their first immunity challenge

- Exile is back, but with a twist this season. When sent to Exile, you can choose whether to live there in comfort (getting food, nice things to sleep on, luxury items, etc.) or you can choose to get a clue for the whereabouts of the Hidden Immunity Idol. Depending on the time, they will make the temptation bigger and bigger.

- Jeff Probsts says "By the time this season is over, you can make the case that maybe this is the dumbest team when it comes to idol play."

- Once again, this is the first season Survivor will be broadcast in HD!!! Jeff says it looks absolutely amazing!

I don't see how they can top the dumb immunity idol moves from last season, so this should be good to see! lol
