Survivor Nicaragua

9:30pm – Tuesday, December 28 on Channel Nine

For the last 10 years Survivor has travelled to the farthest corners of the planet and subjected over 300 contestants to the harshest environments. As the next decade of Survivor begins this new group of strangers will compete in Survivor: Nicaragua.

The series begins with the castaways marooned in a land of smouldering volcanoes, exotic wildlife and impenetrable terrain. They will be forced to work together to adapt to their new surroundings, yet compete against each other to the stay in the game or be voted out. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar prize and the title of Sole Survivor.

The 20 castaways will be divided into two tribes of 10, comprised of older and younger competitors.

The Espada Tribe, made up of over-40s, includes a dog trainer, a fireman, a swimming coach and a real estate executive. They must prove they have the life experience and knowledge to ultimately help them outwit and outlast their younger competitors.

The La Flor Tribe, made up of under-30s, includes a physical education teacher, a club promoter and a medical student. They will have to use their youth and vitality to outplay and outlast their elders.

Will the life experience of the Espada Tribe or the physical performance of the La Flor Tribe provide the winning edge? Anything is possible in the enthralling new game of Survivor.

So, another season of The Amazing Race concluded last night on Seven. Well done to Nat and Kat, the first all girl team to win the $1,000,000 prize. The TV hosts in second place were also an all girl team.

Sadly though, as I sat down to watch The Amazing Race last night, I already knew who won it. Not because I had looked it up, or been spending time on US TV web sites, but because some inconsiderate person posted the winner in a comment on Throng a few days ago.

As a major contributor to the Throng web site, I also moderate comments, un-publishing any that are offensive, that are trying to promote other web sites, are unrelated to our web site and any that are considered spoilers giving away winners or significant information about shows yet to air in Australia that have aired overseas.

Naturally, I took down the comment of who had won the Amazing Race immediately – but obviously, for me, the damage was done.

The rules here, like any other Australian TV web site, are simple. If a show has aired in Australia, then it is OK to comment on the show – even if it has not yet aired in WA where they are currently 3 hours behind. It is OK to congratulate the winners, discuss the plot, what ever you see fit – so long as it has aired in Australia.

If it has not aired in Australia – whether we are a a few hours behind, a few days behind or a few months behind as is often the case – then discussion on such a show is a no-go zone. It is unfair to those who enjoy visiting the site that do not wish to know in advance outcomes of shows yet to air.

Those who chose to watch shows “by other means” before they air in Australia or visitors to Throng from outside of Australia should keep spoilers to themselves – do not put any such information into a comment on any post on Throng. Anyone who wants to know who won the Amazing Race or Survivor or any similar show before it airs in Australia can easily do so – there are plenty of sites in the US where you can find out or even engage in discussion. Twitter at times will give it away when you see topics trending as these shows air in the US.

Here, if you know before it airs in Australia, keep it to yourself – please. Show some respect for fellow readers who don’t want to know, and don’t want to stumble upon this sort of information while browsing around Throng.

Some of these people will even go to great lengths to avoid certain overseas web sites just so they don’t stumble upon the information – so putting it under their noses in comments on Throng is downright disrespectful.
