hakushu8:
According to Sucks, a challenge possibly involving dance. Hopefully this would really happen, cause if not then this quote would be said by someone maybe in their reward.

And is it the first non-English word used as a Survivor title? ???

OH HO!!!

A meke is a traditional Fijian dance. It is typically performed during celebrations and festivals. Males and females each perform a separate dance never dancing together. The male dance is called the meke moto usually involving long spears. The dance is meant to symbolize the ancient warriors of the village. The female dance is called the seasea and involves the performers making rapid motions with their hands and arms.

The music for the dance is provided by bamboo tubes and the lali, a wooden drum. The performers illustrate the meaning of the meke through the lyrics of the songs. The songs and their lyrics are created by the daunivucu, a Fijian composer, specifically for each meke.

It either is a challenge or a reward. Either way it sounds interesting!
