This has been bugging me and im just wondering if possibly a shipwrecker or anyone for that matter can enlighten me on how they decide when people go to the islands.
Obviously they know whos been accepeted onto show but how do they go about deciding who should be original islanders and in what week new arrivals will join show, I think Matt and Geri have been fantastic new arrivals in last 2 weeks and just think its a shame they came so late in the game.
? Any thoughts ?

Also when do the new arrivals fly out, are they there from the beginning in a nice hotel, or do they fly out just a couple of days before they go on the Islands. ?

its all different for instance me and markus were in the same que at the auditions and even stood really close to eachother! i think xanthi and maz were the same and that was in like june. but whilst we were out there people were still auditioning like take lois she auditioned on like the monday and was flyin by the wednesday i think geri only had about 2 days notice too! i think new arrivals flew out to aituaki and spent one night in a hotel before going on the islands but us originals were in confinemnt for days it was one of the hardest parts hahaha

How long were you in aituaki before you went to the Islands, and were you on your own or did you meet any other wreckers beforehand? As there is only one flight a week, you must have all been on the same flight out (at least the LA, Cook Islands leg).

were you confined to your hotel room? Or could you go to the beach, pool etc. It sounds like BB where they go into hiding beforehand., but I suppose they have to so they don't read anything in the press.

Thats a bit mean, I suppose everyoneelse was on the same complex, and they didn't want you bumping into each other.

wow i just assumed they knew who was going before the show even started, I imagine its easier being an original as i assume you are all in the same boat and have to make bonds and get to know each other. Did you know you were going to be an original castaway or do they give no clues ? Only wondering since you said markus was at auditions with you yet he came in week 6 and you were there from the beginning
