Imagine a tribal council where someone gets sent home after getting only one vote. Imagine not knowing if a vote will count until after they have all been counted. Well, you wont have to imagine very long - because that is part of the game this season.

The new format in “Exile Island” makes the game refocus on the idea of being a sole survivor. Every week, someone will get punted to the “Exile Island” and left alone. Although they will be left to fend for themselves for days at a time - they will also have something to do. They can spend their time searching for the Immunity Idol (that will be re-hid each week).

Yes, today is Groundhog Day - the day of predictions. If you thought “Groundhog day? How could winter POSSIBLY be over so soon?” don’t worry - the toothless-beaver saw his shadow today. This means you have 6 more weeks of winter.

Tonight at 7PM (8pm in some areas) - Survivor Season 12 will hit the air. In the wonderful RyeBlog tradition - it’s time for you to make predictions based on the pictures alone. (If you recall, some of us did well last time in picking the winner based on her picture alone.)

This will be particularly hard to do - seeing as the format for the game is going to be changed around. Instead of two tribes, there will be four tribes. The tribes will be divided up between men and women, old and young.

Somehow, somebody will be sent to “Exile Island” each week. Who knows what they will have to do there, or what it involves other than a freeky prop of a gigantic skull.

Time to post your predictions for winners… etc. in the comments. Use only the pictures! (If you read the bios, I guess that’s okay - but you shouldn’t trust them.) You can’t add any predictions once the show has aired (or after you have watched it on your TiVo), so get on it now!

Oh - and click the more button and you can vote in a poll on who you think the winner will be. (It annoyingly inserts itself at the beginning of this post, not at the end…) (more…)
