You look at those shots of Escamequita and Escameca and think, "Yep, there you go.. ". They're perfect. Lovin' the thought of fresh water for bathing. As birdlady said, "It might be a deal where they need to close more beach than they will use directly, because of the background." First person to spot a surfer in a background shot gets a MESS badge!

I hope TC is on a cliff overlooking the ocean though, with some kind of Spanish fort theme. A lighthouse would be cool.

They could put it almost anywhere but certainly somewhere that's accessible. Kona and all, the only distinct landmark I've noticed in the beach photos online is this flat rock off the coast (on the left, out at sea). If we can figure out which beach is closest to the rock, we can watch for it when the show airs and know where they are! <silly fan fun> I love the Google picks, Kona! Thanks for posting them! Find that rock. :)

It's behind the young girl's head. This photo is labeled Playa Yankee. It looks like the rock is further in the distance then it is in the photo above, so maybe it's at Playa Hermoso or Tamarindo. Just thinking..

All this time NASA has been trying to justify their budget based on space-age fibers and composite micro-tubule materials and such, when really there's a much more imediate and broader benefit in reality tv...

(whatever that means) Looks like the flat rock is at Playa Hermosa. There's a youtube of a little kid trying to boogie board on that beach and the rock is shown out in the water. What's a tamarindo?

Heliox, I'm so out of the loop I can't answer that. Anyone? No worries Wezzie. I think they must be if they are planning back to back seasons. At the very least production is up and running to get ready. Those satellite pics look very dry and arid. Yikes! I wonder how much food could grow in and around the rivers mouth.

Let's say we know that Tribe A lives on the beach with the flat-top rock. If we see video that shows a member of Tribe B on Tribe A's beach, we'll discuss why that person could be there - has there been a switch? A twist? A Reward? Is it post-merge? Until the castaways arrive and set up camp, a beach is a beach is a beach, so we look for distinctive elements like ponds, man-made bridges, rock formations, piles of driftwood or fallen trees to help us distinguish one beach (aka camp) from another. After the castaways set-up camp, we have their shelter and firepit to help id the camp. If we see a group of castaways feasting at a beach that clearly isn't their tribal beach (e.g., no flat top rock!) , then we can assume it's for a Reward, merge feast or some sort of twist.

Yeah, I guess that was what jumped out with all the deciduous trees in the earlier photos. None of that bananas and breadfruit just growing on trees that we've seen in most of the tropical seasons. Tamarind is a pretty useful and well-rounded fruit, but it's also a bit of a laxative. Are we going to get more of those "wild" chickens wandering through camp? That area of the coast was traditionally a fishing economy, but I'm unclear how much you could catch from the shore. I guess if they're going with the conquistador theme maybe they'll have food supplies such as might have been packed on the ship. (Ooh! And gunpowder!)

I refer you to this ~ Wezzie and Quartzeye visiting Panama in search of spoilers, brought to us by DanBollinger: http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/topic/63643 When Wez and Quartzie start writing from Panama, it becomes a priceless gem. I asked Anti to transfer it to Monster Island for all to remember. He did. 2003, what a good year it was, when we were all so young and so eager to spoil; before the days of boot lists, and when SEG still cared! In the words of Pablo Neruda, "We, of that time, are no longer the same."
