"Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water is the upcoming 29th season the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor, premiering in fall 2014. Similarly to Survivor: Blood vs. Water, the season will feature pairs of loved ones competing against each other and will also include Redemption Island but, unlike Blood vs. Water, all of the players will be new.The season will be filmed inSan Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, the same location as Survivor: Nicaragua and Survivor: Redemption Island."

No returnees, that's a big plus. I hate it when it a bunch of returnees who've made pacts before the show even starts.
 
I was just wondering about that. I too am glad that there are no returners for this one.
 
The 29th season of CBS’ Survivor has begun filming in Nicaragua, and host Jeff Probst says that two contestants left the show 48 hours before the competition began for medical reasons.

“We just lost two contestants [Friday],” Probst tells EW’s Dalton Ross, who’s hosting EW Morning Live with Jessica Shaw from the set of Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water all week on Entertainment Weekly Radio. “We came out here with 20. We spend months casting our show — months. I mean, this is like….who you’re gonna ask to prom. All year you’re like, ‘Is it her or her?’ and ‘Will she say yes?’ And you finally get your 20 people, and then through no fault of their own — just a medical situation — they can’t play…. So instead of 20, it puts us at 18. Instead of equal men and women, it puts us uneven men and women.”

Was it a pair they lost? Or 1 person from 2 different pairs?

By the quote though, it was 2 women or 2 men. And what difference does unequal men & women make? Unless the tribes were intended to be split by sex.
 
‘Survivor’ Editors Demand Union Contract; Further Action Could Delay Start Of New Season
Deadline EXCLUSIVE: Some members of the Survivor crew want a vote – and we’re not talking about staying on any island. Representing about two dozen editors, the Motion Picture Editors Guild today told Mark Burnett and his Island Post Productions that they want a union contract. “The union requests negotiations with you with respect to pay, wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment,” says the 1-page letter from National Executive Director Ron Kutak of IATSE Local 700 to Post Producer John Heard. At present, the demand is for immediate negotiations and the editors and assistants are still on the job. However, with just over a month before the recently announced expanded September 24 debut of Season 29 of the reality show the move by the Santa Monica-based post crew could shuttle the beginning of Survivor: San Juan del Sur if this escalates to a walk-out or further labor action, I’ve learned. “The premiere episode isn’t even done yet,” a source close to the editing action told me. “With the plan of a 90-minute opener and the team still going through footage, any delay of more than a few days would be very hard on the schedule.” Like fellow Burnett production shows Shark Tank and NBC’s The Voice, which do have IATSE contracts, the Survivor employees want an agreement that includes industry-standard health insurance and pension benefits.

While there are no explicit indications of labor action in today’s short correspondence from Kutak, the plan I’ve learned is to give Burnett’s company a brief opportunity to respond before taking things further. That opportunity is based on the long long relationship the editors have had with Survivor with some of them having worked on the CBS series since its debut 14 years ago.

The Survivor postproduction crew is headed back to work after a brief strike.

Mark Burnett’s Island Post Productions Inc. agreed to give the crew union recognition, the Motion Picture Editors Guild announced Wednesday.

"Contract talks have been scheduled for Friday. In the meantime, our strike action has been suspended, and Survivor post-production employees will return to their jobs on Thursday," the Guild announced on its Facebook page Wednesday night. "Our picket line will stand down until further notice. Please do not report for picket duty tomorrow. Kudos to the crew of Survivor for their resolve they showed today and this important victory."

Postproduction work stopped earlier Wednesday, one day after the Emmy-nominated team said it would seek to obtain a union contract with health and retirement benefits.

Overview: [PLOT]Survivor is an American version of the Survivor reality game show, itself derived from the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson originally created in 1997 by Charlie Parsons. The series premiered on May 31, 2000, on CBS. It is hosted by television personality Jeff Probst, who is also an executive producer, and also executive produced by Mark Burnett and original creator Charlie Parsons.

The show maroons a group of strangers in a desolate locale, where they must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves, while competing in challenges to earn either a reward, or an immunity from expulsion from the game in the next of the successive votes for elimination. While much less common than elimination by vote, medical conditions, such as injury or infection, have eliminated several contestants. The last two or three survivors face a jury composed of the last seven, eight, or nine players voted off. That jury interrogates the final few, and then votes for the winner of the game, the title of Sole Survivor and a million dollar prize.

The American version has been very successful. From the 2000–01 through the 2005–06 television seasons its first eleven seasons rated amongst the top ten most watched shows. It is commonly considered the leader of American reality TV because it was the first highly rated and profitable reality show on broadcast television in the USA, and is considered one of the best shows of the 2000s. The series has been nominated for several Emmy Awards, including winning for Outstanding Sound Mixing in 2001, Outstanding Special Class Program in 2002, and was subsequently nominated four times for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program when the category was introduced in 2003. Jeff Probst has won the award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program four consecutive times since the award was introduced in 2008. In 2007, the series was included in Time magazine's list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all-time.[/PLOT][/SERIESWRAP][/SERIES]
 
Kid better wake up or Rocker will get him voted off ... still want the "real" opening back for every showing, that's how I remembered names. Predictable that one of the twins would get snuffed.
