Feedback: Oh yes. Please leave feedback on the Survivor - Ash Island thread on the Kitten Board.
Disclaimer: I own none of these characters nor do I own Survivor. And believe it or not, I also don't own any small islands. On the other hand, this island is fictional so let's say I own it. I'm making no money from this fiction and intend no copyright infringement.
Notes:
And you're saying to yourself, "Did I read that right? Survivor?" The answer: "Yes!" Ok, I freely admit that we are huge Survivor and Amazing Race fans (and yes, we wanted Kris and Jon to win). I can't stand the Bachelor, Joe Millionaire, and certainly think that the reality show about the woman looking for her real father is probably one of the low points in human development. But I love Survivor and Amazing Race. Sure they're cheesy and "made-for-television" as the grandmother in A Prayer for Owen Meaney would say. But they also show a lot about competition, cooperation, and relationship dynamics.
I can't imagine that I'll be writing this very quickly because I am very busy these days but hopefully the updates will be regular. I'm going to try and limit most updates to the format of the show - action shots, "confessional" interviews, brief conversations, and of course the tribal council. Occasionally I'll throw in the "Morning after" interview for flavor.
One more thing. With a few exceptions for plot-development, I'm going to use random selection methodology to determine which team wins or loses (when appropriate) and which character will be voted off. Hopefully this will be fun.
COMING THIS SEASON ON SURVIVOR: ASH ISLAND
Shots of a tropical island.
Two boats racing toward the island from opposite sides. People on both boats hanging on to a railing while standing on the edge.
The boats come to a stop and most people jump into the sparkling blue sea. A few people still on the boats throw belongings to those in the water.
Shots of everyone swimming toward shore, pulling various belongings, a few pieces of wood, and a box toward the island.
Jeff Probst voiceover: Survivor - Ash Island. Two Teams. Sixteen Castaways. One Million Dollars.
Quick cutting shots of various contestants:
An All-American Boy running down the beach at sunrise. Caption reads: "Riley Finn - Pro Triathalete." "I'm hoping my physical conditioning will help me be too valuable to vote off," he tells the camera.
Shot of petite redhead wiping her foot on a log. Caption reads: "Willow Rosenberg - Software startup company owner." "Ick! I think I stepped in something."
Jeff Probst: "A new season. A new island. A new game."
Quick cutting shots of a mid-forties woman and a blonde girl talking furtively by a stand of trees with the voice over: "And the secret the other contestants don't know."
