Survivor: Micronesia episode 1 detailed tribes spoilers/ speculation
   As made clear at the S15 finale (and in the logo), the initial tribe composition for Survivor: Micronesia will be "Fans vs. Favorites." So, two tribes, one with returning players, one with newbies. We barely paid attention to the spoiling of the "favorites" tribe, but it was largely spoiled in the "Half-ASS roster" thread at Sucks (patiently curated by Antithesys). The "fans" tribe was for the most part spoiled by SurvivorFever, with additional spoils from Sucks and SurvivorSkills. See the pre-show Survivometer for more accurate links. The contestants:
  
Malakal - "Favorites tribe" (returning players)
Amanda Kimmel Ami Cusack Cirie Fields Eliza Orlins Jonny Fairplay
James Clement Jonathan Penner Ozzy Lusth Parvati Shallow Yau-Man Chan
Airai - "Fans tribes" (new players)
Alexis Jones Chet Welch Erik Reichenbach Jason Siska Kathy Sleckman
Mary Sartain 'MIkey B' Bortone Natalie Bolton Tracy Wolf Joel 'Truck' Anderson
   
   As for the tribe colors, SurvivorFever reports they are orange for the "fans" tribe and purple for the "favorites". That seems to fit with the shots from the post-S15 finale preview. An orange tribe is featured in one of the challenge shots (breaking a tile). And both Mikey B and Tracy (both new contestants) were shown wearing what appear to be orange-colored buffs (below).
   Evidence for the other tribe's color: in the wrestling shot, a flash of purple appears to be visible trailing a contestant (sash? buff?) in the background (vidcap below).

   Updates: Cast shots show both tribes wearing their respective buff colors (as spoiled by SFever). Also (as pointed out by MayanSun at Sucks), Palauan film company Roll 'Em Productions has an interesting page set up, dedicated to their work on Survivor: Micronesia. They feaure several shots of challenge props, the exile island map, the hidden idol rules, and some challenge detritus that contains the tribe names: Malakal for the returning players, Airai for the newbies.
