Talk:Survivor: Edge of Extinction

Upcoming twist

@Katanin:, @ApprenticeFan:, @Farnell45: With the upcoming rumored twist of Extinction Island, how should we precede with making the contestant table dealing with the placements, etc.? I think the placement order should be determined via when they were voted off, regardless if someone voted out after them quits before they do on Extinction Island. VietPride10 (talk) 20:40, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

@VietPride10: Well in Redemption Island, Wyatt Nash was voted out in the Final 12, but ultimately he got 7th place officially.

Ok, I do agree with that the placement of the returnee should be handled like Redemption Island winners, but if for example, Person A was the first person voted out, but stayed on Extinction Island until the very end, only to lose the final battle. Person B is voted off after the merge but quits Extinction Island. I do not think Person A should be ranked/placed higher than Person B. VietPride10 (talk) 01:13, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

@VietPride10: Not sure why this should be treated any differently from Redemption Island: one column based on when contestants exit the "Main game," one based on when they exit "Extinction Island," and a final column based on their overall finish. If the first boot makes it 35 days in while the second boot makes it 10 days, why wouldn't we put the player who lasts longer "higher" (rankwise) than the one who doesn't?

Source for Kama?

Just out of curiosity where's the source that the yellow tribe is called Kama?Sinjoh2015 (talk) 19:25, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protection

Can someone please remove the semi-protection? Why is it there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6F10:1960:CD59:2592:1A00:9E2D (talk) 02:10, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

The page was semi-protected because of persistent disruptive editing by an unregistered user. Semi-protection will be removed on March 12th and likely not any earlier than that. *75thClarkbarHG* (talk) 05:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Um... It IS March 12th and still no change? (Maybe a different time zone? I dunno.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.84.43.10 (talk) 12:39, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Oh, come on! Semi-protected again?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6F10:1960:C008:B779:EFD:EB0E (talk) 23:59, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Episode 2 vote tally

CBS still hasn't released the official vote tally. In the event that they never release it, is this analysis enough base to edit the vote table? And it probably wouldn't be the first time we have to resort to handwriting analysis (for example, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe we ever had an official confirmation on who voted for Donathan in the revote at Kellyn's elimination in Ghost Island). 90.47.19.10 (talk) 19:00, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Edge of Extinction or Extinction Island

I changed all mentions of the new twist from Extinction Island to Edge of Extinction because Edge of Extinction is the name used on the show and multiple sources, but I was reverted. Before changing it back again, I'd like to open it up to discussion as to which name we should use on the article. OctoMocto (talk) 02:28, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

I agree that it needs to be listed as Edge of Extinction on the page. We've had 2 episodes now, and every mention of it has labeled it as Edge of Extinction. There was even text on screen during episode 2 that said "Edge of Extinction - Day 4". I get there was the Arisa Cox interview where Jeff calls it Extinction Island, but there have been no times on the actual show where it was called Extinction Island. It has only been referred to as Edge of Extinction on the show itself, so that's the name it should be called by here. Tar62800 (talk) 05:07, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Okay, I'm at least fine with either. A lot more interviews have referred to the location as Edge of Extinction than Extinction Island, however, and I'll at least with whatever is the consensus. Also OctoMocto, at least leave a discussion open for longer than 12 hours if others wish to weigh their opinions on this, it's incredibly unfair to other users in different time zones than yours.

Keith EOE

When Keith was voted off, he was stuck on the choice of leaving permanently or going to Edge of Extinction. Those sources say he did go to EOE, but I'm not sure. Those sources might be spoilers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.84.43.10 (talk) 15:12, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

It does come from the CBS Press Express, so it's affiliated with CBS, however I do at least agree with you that it is very much a potential spoiler to other who may not be aware of it. It may also be incorrect, as the writer for the press release may not have known were to put Keith as at the end of the episode he's in a bit of a limbo. He's not actually eliminated, nor did he choose to participate in the twist yet. Also, the signpost may also be counted as part of "Edge of Extinction", too, and the accompanying pictures of the press release don't actually show Keith being there either. Sinjoh2015 (talk) 16:42, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

It appears that the press release has been updated, no longer stating Keith is on EoE. Sinjoh2015 (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

There are 2 bars with Chris Underwood's name 96.242.53.216 (talk) 02:37, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. DannyS712 (talk) 04:06, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Chris Underwood was listed twice on the table of contestants. I've remedied the problem. NiciVampireHeart 04:09, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Manu who?

The name rings a bell with a certain basketball player. how are the tribes named?

Tribe names are based on the locale. Manu is the Fijian word for fish. 135.196.1.74 (talk) 13:53, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Manu is the Fijian word for bird, not fish. There's a clear phoenix motif going on, too, as Kama means to burn and Lesu means to return. Sinjoh2015 (talk) 02:42, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Eh, close enough. But yup, in answer to the original question, aesthetics/names are on local culture and/or language. 135.196.1.74 (talk) 07:34, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Edge of Extinction returnees

Just wanted to ask the community - currently the page shows the timing of 1st and 2nd returnees from Edge of Extinction. I don't know what the source is for this info, as it hasn't been televised yet. Should this information be removed for now? It is a bit spoiler-y. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Odinsgata9 (talk • contribs) 16:08, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

You are somewhat correct. A user keeps adding future information on the episode and voting tables, of which most is speculation, and it has not been revealed if or when a 2nd returnee point will occur in the future. However, the returning point was featured on last episode's Next Time on Survivor..., and well as the official Survivor YouTube channel showing a sneak peek of the episode, confirming the reentry and its occurrence on Day 17. --Sinjoh2015 (talk) 16:43, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

edge of extinction quitters

@ApprenticeFan:, @Katanin:, @Jayab314: should we change it to "Quit" instead of "Left" to refer to any EOE people who raise the mast? VietPride10 (talk) 01:21, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

@VietPride10: I would say yes, change it to "Quit" as it would give more clarity, but both are fine options. Jayab314 01:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

@VietPride10: @VietPride10: No. It's different from an actual quit, as EoE is this optional "loser's bracket," so to speak. If one of the remaining players were to voluntarily leave the main game, the difference in language would be necessary. - Katanin (talk) 01:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

@VietPride10: @Katanin: As it is optional to go to Extinction Island, it is still a part of the game just like Redemption Island. When they raise the mast or choose not to go back, that is the literal definition of quitting. Jayab314 01:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

It's neither "Quit" nor "Left." We hear someone talking about raising the mast every episode, the official wording should be "Raised Mast."

And @Jayab314: I don't understand why you're referring to Outcasts or Redemption Island twists as if that affects this. Edge of Extinction is a new twist. It literally makes no sense to shoehorn Rick in the middle of the chart. With the Outcasts, they just showed up after 6 episodes and voted two of themselves back in and the rest left - so just mark the two as returnees in their voted out row. RI was an episode-by-episode basis with someone getting eliminated. Matt, Andrea, Ozzy x2, Laura, and Tina all returned after the last person on RI was eliminated, that's why they're placed where they are. Rick rejoined the game before Wendy & Keith raised the mast, so he should be on top of the chart. (Edit: If Rick rejoined today, and Wendy & Keith stayed on EOE this week but left next week, would you have this same energy? No, but it's the same thing!) It makes no sense to separate the current inhabitants with Rick lol make it make sense pls ~ Totaldramaman ^{(talk · contribs)} 02:06, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
