Attention Survivor Contestants: Your next stop is Treasure Island! Please keep your arms and legs inside the boat at all times. Make sure your life preserver is fastened securely; No one will rescue you if you take a spill. I hope you ate a good meal before boarding because there ain't much in the way of food where you're going, ha ha. Just so you can get to know the mates you'll be spending the next two months with, allow me to make introductions. Our tribes are named after the famous explorers/pirates/treasure seekers Sir Francis Drake and Captain Cook.

First off the Drake Tribe, which will always wear.....whatever they want to, consists of..


Happydude, a college student from down under.

Typhoid, an unemployed bum who sticks to the keyboard 24/7.

And the Cook Tribe, which will always wear......whatever they want to, consists of

Teuthida, a man of many names and many more talents.

GameMaster, a college student and winner of Survivor IV!

Our tribes are named after the famous explorers/pirates/treasure seekers Sir Francis Drake and Captain Cook.

A little history on the Drake Tribe's forefather-Sir Francis:

Drake set out on the first of his famous marauding expeditions. He took the town of Nombre de Dios on the Isthmus of Panama, captured a ship in the harbor of Cartagena, burned Portobelo, crossed and recrossed the isthmus, and captured three mule trains bearing 30 tons of silver. The voyage brought Drake wealth and fame.

In Dec., 1577, he set out with five ships to raid Spanish holdings on the Pacific coast of the New World. He abandoned two ships in the Río de la Plata in South America, and, with the remaining three, navigated the Straits of Magellan, the first Englishman to make the passage.

Drake continued alone in the Golden Hind up the coast of South America, plundered Valparaiso and smaller settlements, cut loose the shipping at Callao, and captured a rich Spanish treasure ship.

Elizabeth endeavored for a time to justify Drake's conduct to Spain, but, failing to satisfy the Spanish, she finally abandoned all pretense and openly recognized Drake's exploits by knighting him aboard the Golden Hind.


What does all that tell you? Our man was a Pirate! Yes and a very famous one at that. Who normally ends up with the treasure? Exactly pirates! Ha!
