Best idea on how to revive "Survivor"
Even I'm bored of the show Suvivor, but I still read the recaps on CBS's website and they have a new section "Survivor's Strike Back" where previous Survivors have a blog about the ongoings of the current survivor

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor11/show/ep03/strikeback.php

ANd then I saw this comment from Scout:

Hey Castmates, I have heard from a guy named Ian who
started www.letmeonsurvivor.com. He's gathered over 2400 signatures so far. He's working hard to get Canadians on Survivor. What do think about this? Could be interesting...Canada versus the USA.


Wouldn't that be a great idea - have 2 teams - one would be all AMerican Survivors and the other would be a team either all Canadian or made up of Contestants from around the globe.

I think that could have me tuning in again to Survivor!

2. How about-Stephanie, can she ever win or is she bad luck?
that seems to be the main subplot this year.

Still LOVE Survivor.

6. make survivor more like "the Most Dangerous Game"
where a maniacal former Soviet Spetsnaz officer systematically hunts down the cast for sport

9. Yeh I always thought actual "surviving" would spice up the game a bit.

11. There was a show once which was along this theme
but the people who were hunted were so dumb that the hunters always won. However, I forgot the name of this show; maybe that was how interesting it was. They were only using paintballs I might add.

14. Survivor: West Wing?
It'd probably need to go into production this week to catch enough of the drama before the alliances are reforged.

:D

15. TWO players get voted off, and the two have a "knife out" to determine
who really survives, and moves on...

16. Wow, did this ever get threadjacked
I'm bored, too. I was a confirmed fanatic with the Australian Outback show and have liked a few of the other ones, but ever since Vescepia, the Super Christian, stabbed Kathy in the back I've been disapointed in most of the shows. I thought the All Stars edition had great potential, but it was the worst ever. But I have to give that particular series of the show credit for making me feel sorry for Jerri; something that I could never, ever imagine happening.

Oh, and the African one was utterly awful. That was the shark jumper, right there.

18. The last person gets to stay on the island forever, everyone else gets $$.
They can update the last person's condition in a year or so to see how they are doing. Maybe drop food and medicine once a month.

19. Make it real. Drop 'em off on an island, and who ever lives,
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 01:07 PM by Rabrrrrrr
lives. I wanna see a series in which the contestants finally achieve enough consciousness to say "Fuck it! The camera guys have food - take theirs!" and beat the hell out of them, then start broadcasting their version.

20. Put Survivor in the Arctic!!!
That's my revival idea. Forget the heat and bugs and swampy water. Go to Greenland or something where they can have a whole new spectrum of things. It would be like "Viking Survivor" or something. And, as much as I like looking at Bobby Jon and some of the other guys, more clothes might be a welcome change and they wouldn't get so gross looking.

The nation version could be interesting. A lot of countries already have "Survivor." I know that Britain and Mexico do. I remember Jenna Morasca saying that she now goes on just about every country's version.

21. Is it the fake boobs coupled with the massive weight loss that gets ya?
Tina won the second one (th eCoby one). She was a looker for her age but her boobs were pretty clearly fake (didn't get any smaller) but with the right covering "buff" and the right camera angles you couldn't hardly tell.

Then there is the case of the blood girl who took her shirt off to get some oreo cookies. The WINCE shot from one of the guys was enough to comfirm that already known. YIKES!!!

22. Yep, absolutely right
How about the last one (Steph & Bobby Jon's first) where they had only the clothes on their backs and 99% of the women decided that little lace bras and thongs were plenty to wear (with the buff, of course)?! I really didn't need to see the tattooed girl's thong and red lace bra (or less) every second. And I was also completely against Rupert's skirt during his season and the hill-billy James last season running around in dirty underwear. Just so I don't seem biased on gender :wink::wink:

But you go it, underpants!
