That's because people always fight at the Council. Ken doesnt talk during tribal, so he doesnt get voted off.

would be epic if they use the idol to avoid losing a team member since it voids all votes towards that person. So they all vote for the person with the idol and then they use it...thus avoiding them losing a team mate. Its a lot better then losing more challenges because of less people. -shrugs- I dunno

I at LEAST want Ken to make it on the jury so that we'll still see him for a few brief seconds each episode.

The 18 contestants competing this fall on Survivor: Gabon—Earth’s Last Eden for the series' 17th cycle include an Olympic gold medalist, a Gilmore Girls actress, and a professional video game champion, EW.com has learned exclusively. Crystal Cox, who won gold at the Athens Games in 2004 as part of the 4x400m track relay team, is the biggest name on the roster this season, which premieres with a two-hour episode on Sept. 25. Also among the fresh faces is Jessica “Sugar” Kiper (Gilmore Girls fans may remember her as the pin-up model who made out with Milo Ventimiglia during her four-episode arc as Shane) and Ken Hoang, the current international champion of Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers Melee video game. There will also be a prominent international presence, with contestants who have lived in South Africa (Gillian Larson), London (Ace Gordon), and Chile (Paloma Soto-Castillo).

As for the format, the biggest twist of Survivor: Gabon involves Exile (formerly Exile Island). “When you go to Exile this time you can either get a clue that will help you find the hidden immunity idol, or you can get ‘instant comfort’ — a nice thing to sleep on, some food, some fruit,” explains host Jeff Probst. “Depending upon the time, we’ll make the temptation bigger and bigger. The idea was to see if anybody would be dumb enough to choose comfort over the only thing that guarantees you to stick in the game, which is immunity.” Okay, did it work? “By the time this season is over, you can make the case that maybe this is the dumbest team when it comes to idol play.”

Also for the first time ever, Survivor: Gabon will be shot entirely in HD. “If you’re a Survivor fan and you have HD, it will be a completely different show,” Probst promises. “When you incorporate the wildlife, it’s kind of like being in a Spielberg movie. I mean, it’s so real-looking that it’s exciting and scary.” And that wildlife Probst speaks of will come into play when elephants visit a tribe camp. “A truly real, raw moment of a wild animal that’s not in a park or some protected area,” Probst says.

The contestants of Survivor: Gabon will be divided up into two tribes at the very outset by a good old fashioned schoolyard pick ’em, which will immediately lead to the contestants’ first challenge. And while there are no hardcore “showmances” this time around, Probst does tease that one player proves particularly popular: “Marcus, the doctor from Georgia — one of the most arrogant guys that we’ve had on the show — he at one point had three people after him. And not only women.”

Biography
Ken Hoang (22)
Hometown: Westminster, California
Occupation: Professional Gamer

Ken Hoang gives a new meaning to the term "gamer." Known to the gaming community as "the King of Smash," Hoang is a professional at his craft. As the current international champion of Nintendo's Super Smash Brothers Melee video game, Ken has traveled the world from Japan to Australia to prove his dominance.

Hoang uses his tournament winnings to help support his family. He and his siblings still live at home to help pay the mortgage. It has also led to a strong bond among his brothers and sisters. In fact it was his sister that started his addiction to SURVIVOR.

While he may seem like an interesting choice for a game based in the outdoors, this gamer sees it as an amazing opportunity. Ken is very creative, and has a strong passion for art, a skill he is currently going to college to fine tune. When not playing videogames or brushing up on his art, Hoang enjoys playing with his pets, a Maincoon cat named Kinski and a Husky named Monster.

He loves the fact that he will be considered an underdog because everyone will underestimate his prowess at playing mind games. Nobody would look at him and believe he climbed Mt. Fuji at the age of 20. Ready to exploit his slight physical stature, Ken will trick his fellow players into seeing him as a non-threat, only to smash them if they get in his way.

Ken is single (Relax) and currently resides in Westminster, Calif. His birth date is October 10, 1985.

Ken is set for a bit.

Its a double elimination.

I think Dan goes for Kota

Chrystal for Fang...

Merge has got to come after that.....The numbers would be so low....

stop joking yourself. Mew2king cant even get on tila tequila. People on these forums need to go look outside of it there is a sun and reality doesnt have anything to do with wavedashing, or brawl mechanics.
Are you underestimating Mew2king? *cough*

y'now, before you assume everybody on this forum is a geek, others like me actually have a life outside 4 walls, though I do tend to wavedash just like Ken was doing in Survivor.

im done arguing on forums lol goes no where. Look at what cog smooch says and what he quotes me for sounds like hes a hypocrite.

As for mew2king yes, ill give him smash, but thats all hes good at, but he WILL NOT ever get on survivor. For god sakes the guy cant even take care of himself LOL, I dont think anyone will disagree with me on this one. So why people keep bringing it up?

do you realize gillian applied more than 15 times to get onto the show. Have you read jeff probsts blog on what you have to go through to get on? GET real, I doubt mew2king 100 percent.

lets move off the subject and SEE HOW GREAT MY signature is.

anyway, when the merge happens I hope to see Ken on a strong tribe next time around, preferably with Bob, Matty on the team as well, Ace staight up sucks because he made Fang lose yesterday.

Ace and Sugar are so lucky, the other members seem like they are trying to go home, like GC, and Kelly with her talking negatively to Crystal and Ace. Of course your going home Kelly if you act like that. I thought she would be a smart person for being the top sales person at her retail job. I guess not.
And did I hear this right? In the next episode they are voting TWO members off each tribe? That really sucks. They might vote off Crystal and Ken on Fang, and they'll vote off Susie and Dan on Kota.

okay so maybe M2K isn't 100% physically appealing, but neither is Ken and look where he's at right now. If this so called "jeff probsts" list is true then let's see it. *waits for link*

as for your sig, then only thing I like about it is the blue lettering lol...

You didn't hear it right :) Each tribe is sending ONE person home. IT's going to be the episode with the most tactics and backstabs.

I can't wait :D
And hopefully the merge will happen, otherwise Ken will go next after Crystal gets kicked out.
LMAO at the Title. "He's a Snake, but he's my Snake." Quoted from Sugar. Ace is the Solid Snake in this game. lol. Top tier for sure.
