Survivor 25: Philippines Spoilers and Rumors

[Daniel]

This thread is meant for spoilers and rumors about the castaways, returnees, twists, etcetera that were not officially released by CBS.

PLEASE post boot order spoilers between spoiler tags! All the other spoilers don't need spoiler tags here.

[Daniel]

The three returnees are:

Jon Penner (Cooks, Micronesia)
Michael Skupin (Australia)
Russell Swan (Samoa)

This has been confirmed by several spoiler sites and sources.

Each of them should be on a different tribe of 6. Supposedly there's no concept to how people were split in tribes.

The tribe names are TANDANG (rooster), MATSING (monkey), and KALABAW (carabao/water buffalo). They are Filipino words of local animals in the Philippines.

Do you know if they've finished shooting this? Philippines has a terrible monsoon season, which is from june to august, if they're still there, good luck to them!

They are currently filming 26 in the phillippines as we speak, so they probably got hit

[Daniel]

Yeah I'm guessing the cast of S26 had to be evacuated, it looks pretty bad. I'm sure they knew this before filming though, so idk. Happy I'm not them right now

I can't stand Penner. But I'm glad Mike Skupin is back (even though I didn't like him very much his season either) I don't understand how a man who made it to the final 7 on his original season and got voted off can be compared to Russell Swan or Mike Skupin who were evacuated before merge. Yeah, his second time was a medical emergency, but Bruce, Papa Smurf, there was a guy from Tocantins, and many non evacuated players that could benefit from a second time around.

I love Penner, but I still understand what you mean. Bruce was one of my favorites in Panama, but he was getting up their in age already, tack on another what eight years since? And he may just be physically too old to want to play again. The only other viable option that would have worked would have been I want to say Joe from I think Tocantis. It would have been interesting to see him play again, but then you look at the marketing of it all, and Penner brings more fans to the table than Joe

[Daniel]

Colton instead of Penner would have been perfect <3

[Acfan]

Yeah, Joe had a pretty boring edit. Penner's very memorable and dynamic To this day, I think he's only one of the few who would have the balls to make the questionable moves he made. I have hopes that he helps make this next season as interesting.

Colton showed such a bad side that if they brought him back, they'd have to defend against 'supporting a racist' I think. I know Jeff would love him back, I think he's pissed that Colton didn't endear himself at the Reunion to merit saying he's changed now and to give him a second chance

[Daniel]

There's rumors about Lisa Whelchel and Jeff Kent (supposedly they're celebs) being on the show.

[Hal]

Kent is a baseball player, and Lisa was on The Facts of Life as Blair Warner. Think "Marcia Brady" of an all girls school character.

Jeff Kent seems plausible. But Lisa would be quite interesting.

[Simon]

Watch out with reading spoilers for this season on other sites guys a lot of this season has already been leaked.

[Daniel]

Yeah I know >< It's kind of annoying. I will try to post non-boot-order spoilers here, and whenever something has to do with the boot-order let's post it in spoiler tags.

Take caution, now to the end *the *possible* winner* is leaked...

Spoiler for

Before I start this I want to say that these Spoilers came directly from a S25 Castmember who made the merge this season. I will not name them out of pure respect.

It's a F3 with a Jury of 8.

Let's Get Started:


11th Place: Jeff Kent

When the Tribes Merge, Mike and RC realize they are on the outs of Tandang. So, they Flip to Kalabaw. Kalabaw has a 6-5 Majority over Tandang. However, Malcolm convinces Denise to flip to Tandang and makes a F3 Pact with Him, Lisa and Denise. They decide to Vote Out the Strongest of the other alliance in Jeff Kent, who is Blindsided 6-5.

10th Place: Carter Williams

After Jeff is voted out, The Core 6 target Carter next due to being the next physical threat. Plus they are tired of hearing him whine all the time. Carter is Voted Out.

9th Place: RC Saint-Amour

Mike was the next target, but he won Immunity. Therefore they targeted RC. At Tribal Council she is given harsh words from Abi, Pete and Artis which causes her to Cry. She is still voted out and her torch snuffed while drowning in tears.

8th Place: Artis Silvester

The Core 6 Target Mike next. Malcolm finally opens his eyes and realizes that if the Core 6 make the Final 6, than there will be a tie due to Pete and his "Croonies" and Malcolm, Lisa and Denise splitting it 3-3. To break up the Tie, Malcolm targets Pete. Pete ends up winning Immunity. Malcolm's new target is Artis. Penner and Skupin decide to vote for Malcolm for being an obvious physical threat. Malcolm goes up to Pete and says that Lisa and Denise flipped to Penner and Skupin, making the votes 4-4, And that they are Targeting Abi and Pete should play the Idol on her so they can get rid of Mike. However this is revealed as a ruse just to get Pete/Abi to waste their Idol. At TC Pete than plays the Idol on Abi, and than Malcolm plays HIS Idol on Mike, while Pete looks on shocked. Artis is blindsided in a 3-2-0 vote that was originally 3-3-2. Probst considers this one of the Top 5 Blindsides of all time.

7th Place: Pete Yurkowski

Malcolm, Denise and Lisa team up with Penner and Mike, Leaving Pete and Abi on the out. Pete is voted out for being the more Physical Threat.

6th Place: Mike Skupin

Malcolm pulls off a stunt at the Family Visit with his Brother, Miles. Miles rats out Malcolm to the Tribe. Penner, Skupin and Lisa considered Teaming with Abi to Vote Out Malcolm for what he did. However Malcolm wins Immunity, washing their plans away. Malcolm doesn't want both Returnees in the F5 cause they are huge threats. Skupin is blindsided in a 3-2-1 Vote.

5th Place: Abi-Maria Gomes

Penner was the Target but Malcolm found out that he had an Idol, so they targeted Abi. Penner was going to use the Idol on Abi and Vote with her to take out Denise (Malcolm won Immunity) but Denise and Lisa Promised Penner that they would take him to the F3 if they voted out Abi. Penner agreed and Abi was Voted Out 4-1

4th Place: Malcolm Freberg

Penner ended up winning Immunity, so he was in the F3 anyway. Denise and Lisa Voted out Malcolm along with Penner in a 3-1 Vote.

Final 3:
Denise Stapley
Jonathan Penner
Lisa Whelchel

Penner is the Speculated Winner.

My thoughts...

Spoiler for

Hopefully I don't stir some big pot by opening my mouth, but I feel the way Tippy answers other's questions, and the way they describe the moves made, Malcolm is the source of tongue. Everything revolves around Malcolm's moves and Malcolm's mindset the way Tippy describes it, but Jeff and Carter seemed to be the way CBS edited the game this week, but Denise and Malcolm did side with Pete and Abi like Tippy said), and that story about Malcolm's brother is rather odd, how does Tippy know that Malcolm's brother feels "sorry?".

Now, RC left 11th place 2 rounds before the spoiler person said. But it's very plausible that Penner goes against Jeff Kent and Carter next week, then Penner, Denise, Malcolm, Lisa and Skupin team up to boot Artis, Pete and Abi.

I'm disappointed about Penner winning, but his edit shows that he's very likely the winner. Skupin has rarely been featured in confessionals (remember that I asked about that a few weeks back?)

Please, if anyone responds to this, post it in spoiler tags, please open with CAUTION!

Spoiler for

I'm not sure how much these spoilers are true. They sort of have the right players leaving so far, but not in the right order. The stories that go with the votes and who casts those votes though don't match at all what we see happening. Obviously somethings could be edited out, but I doubt production would have decided not to show RC drowning in tears for example.
