Ha, one of the third-party reporters got parts of the cast (ok, one person who then proceeded to be confirmed with interviews with others) to open up about pre-gaming. Two blocks heading into the season (no spoilers, this is all pre-game info from a YT vid, but I don't want to link to youtube because of the comment sections.)

Block 1:

Spoiler

Jeff, Kelly, Vytas, Terry, (Shane.)

Block 2:

Spoiler

Jeff, Shirin, Spencer, PG, Kelley

Spoiler

Jeff Varner playing hard and he wasn't even on the season yet!

I asked this in the other Survivor thread but it was missed: are there unmarked spoilers ITT? What about the subreddit, if anyone knows?

*asks while eyes averted.

Only gameboard information or weird pregame information (admitted pre-game alliances during interviews.) It's being spoilered out of courtesy.

Boot spoilers are a no no.

Thanks!

EDIT: oh wait, we know which tribe everyone is on?

Yeah, have for a while.

Minor heads up- there's a few minor spoilers about who makes it past the first few boots in the promo materials, so I'd avoid if you can. (No actual boot spoilers tho, not nearly enough people shown.)

So basically "these people make it past the first few episodes, situation of the others unknown."

Yeah, also spoils a twist.

That most if not all of us already probably know about.

Not all have looked into the dissying visage of the black bars! (which contain only gameboard spoilers)

I don't!

The OT should probably use this as the cast photo:

ET Canada has 7 minute interviews with all the castaways.

This has been cracking me up for over 24 hours. Interesting off season this has been.

I'm really glad Keith is on this season, lol.

Wow! That's a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure we would ever see it again.

Has anyone claimed OT duties?

Not it!

I'd do it but I don't want to.

 

[belushy]

I'd do it, but I don't want to, either.

 

[Grexeno]

This is probably going exactly where I think it is.

Congrats you drew the purple rock.

Congrats you drew the purple rock.

But isn't it the white rock now?

Spoiler

I can't possibly compete with Macka's OT from last season but I'll try.

 

[Grexeno]

Actually I can't do it either. I'm going to be moving to a new location so

E! has the full opening credits: http://www.eonline.com/news/697307/get-ready-for-survivor-cambodia-second-chance-and-the-amazing-race-27-with-their-new-opening-credits

 

[Brian Fellows]

I am so excited for this season!

I wish Gordon Holmes interviews were on video. They'd be long but I'd watch'em. Guess I'll stop being a lazy ass and just read them.

Seems to be a standard tune outside of the unique opening.

 

[BowieZ]

Seems to be a standard tune outside of the unique opening.

It's the gorgeous Philippines intro music, with some sound effects and samples from the China OST at the start.

Edit: Honestly I reckon somebody could probably cut a slightly better version than that (it's a little wonky in terms of reaction placement at times, though Spencer-Peih-Gee-Varner is awesome), with the hi def stereo Philippines music mix.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Full Intro during the premiere!!

Yes!!!

Thank goodness.

...It's sad that I'm getting excited over something that should have never been taken out.

 

[Jigorath]

Yes!!!

Oh, awesome. I wish it played every episode.

 

[kirblar]

Casuals tune out and they lose screentime- I get why they do it, I'm glad they're bringing it back for the premiere and hopefully the finale.

Casuals tune out because of a 90 second intro? Lazy bums!

They're competing with a billion other channels/video games/websites now.

I thought it was because they wanted more time for advertisements.

Nah, runtime hasn't changed IIRC, its just more showtime.

We can also blame them for inflicting Woo on us.

Thanks, casuals.

 

[whitehawk]

I think I actually prefer full into for premiere, short for the rest.

 

[BowieZ]

I think I actually prefer full into for premiere, short for the rest.

They really could do perhaps a condensed version for the merge and finale including only the remaining players (and perhaps quick cuts of the jurors) which would shave off a good 30 seconds. There's honestly no reason to be so scarce with the intros when they really do set the tone and vibe of an episode and remind the audience of who's left (especially those who missed episodes or aren't paying as much attention).

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Love the part where they show the monkey walking and abi maria walking on all fours right after, lol

 

[Grexeno]

OP goes up Monday.

 

[User 479360]

Can't wait

I noticed last week that Detour has been airing one of the older seasons on a daily basis. It was already close to ten episodes in before I saw that, though, which disappointed me.

Hopefully another season will start next week.

Is the new OP up? (Haven't searched yet, just figured it would be posted here.)

 

[User 479360]

Detour is starting a new season on Friday, albeit a rerun. It's One World.

I've got it set to save every day. How is it?

One of the worst seasons but one of my favorite winners.

It's alright. Not really good nor bad, but it is one of the seasons were the best player overall won. Some interesting characters but also some cringe moments.
