There's threads for different seasons of Survivor, but none yet for this season's "South Pacific." Out of many of the previous seasons involving the tropics, this one has by far the most tiki themes.

There's a mix of Marquesan, Hawaiian, Tahitian and even a little PNG Poly Pop influence. Not sure where the large tikis are coming from, but some of the one's at Tribal Council are for sure of the Poly Pop style. But in more of a West Coast influence then East Coast.

Whether you love it or hate it, the props are always well done and the challenges do a great job of incorporating the theme. I've found myself watching every episode involving a South Pacific island since the show started.

Tonight's episode stood out to me because of one carving, and it was a throwback.

One of the targets in the challenge was the Kauai Surf logo. Jumped right off the screen at me. Any other Survivor watchers catch that?

I'm going to try and get some more screen captures of the other tikis in the previous episodes and post 'em here.
