VANUATU IT IS !!!
Stevethecomputergeek:
Vanuatu is recognised as one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world.
There are small communities of French, British, Australian, new Zealand, Vietnamese, Chinese and other Pacific Island people living in harmony with the Ni-Vanuatu. Until 1980 Vanuatu, then known as the New Hebrides, was jointly administered by France and Britain as a "Condominium".
Most of Vanuatu's islands are lightly populated lush preserves of forest. Some have active volcanoes.
All are surrounded by sea that is still clean. Of those inhabited, some such as Malekula and Ambrym are home to some of the South Pacific's last truly primitive people in places not easily accessible.
Tanna, an hours flight south of Port Vila is the home of the "John Frum" Cargo Cult people, and is also the location for the "Toka" ritual dance.
On the island of Pentecost the land diving ritual takes place during April and May, with men jumping from towers constructed from bush materials to be brought up just short of the ground by vines tied to their legs.

Promo Voice Over
In the remote waters of the South Pacific near the tumultuous ring of fire is an exotic land where ancient cultures thrive and nature makes it's fury known. These are the islands of Vanuatu. In this land of volcanoes and ritual, sorcery is real and the spirits of the dead are believed to have power over the living. More than 80 islands are home to over 100 languages and a diverse group of tribes and clans live out their history in today's world. Vanuatu is the home to the famous land divers of Pentecost Island. Vanuatu is also a land with a fascinating history of cannibalism. But these islands are also a tropical paradise with untamed jungles, stunning beaches and crystal blue waters. The indigenous peoples have made this archipelago home for over 5000 years. Soon 16 new castaways will be abandoned here, forced to make a new world while competing against each other. Find out this fall who will outwit, outplay and outlast all the others in Survivor: Vanuatu, Islands of Fire.

This new season looks so cool! I cant wait 4 months though :'( I guess I will have to. But about the 16 castaways I would like to see a person who is like colleen haskell + jenna morasca + a little jerri combined. She would be sweet, a good player, and a little catty as well. I kind of wish it wasnt on an island though, I want them to go somewhere like amazon or australiai again, but not those places.

Survivor Maps has discovered a photo of a Survivor: Vanuatu production camp located on the grassy area behind Mr. Chew's store in Port Vila, Efate, Vanuatu. A local source told Survivor Maps, "Mr. Chew (if he is still alive) is THE most successful businessman in the country. His store is wonderful. It's the only place in Port Vila where you can purchase ice... a luxury in the tropics. All the stores in Vanuatu are owned by Chinese. There are almost NO native store owners. The concept of profit and loss and how to run a business is not part of the ni-Vanuatu culture."
In addition, Survivor Maps discovered this photo of the SEG marine team conducting sea trials on the refurbished Bombard 730 in preparation for another Survivor season.
