How can it be? I have never been first. looks around Oh, I guess I am the only one awake.
I wish they'd just do one extended season per year by Shermdawg	Feb 8th, 2007 03:34:34 AM
Also, the new version of Road Rules is worse than the original.
Agree about that extension Shermdawg. by mrfan	Feb 8th, 2007 04:28:31 AM

Survivor MacGuyver by dj_bollocks	Feb 8th, 2007 05:46:27 AM
What about that pitch.... Always compelling - always amusing - always entertaining... Always hot chicks in bikinis... wjo inevitably get voted out too early !
If CBS won't give me a decent ethic war, will FOX? by rivercb	Feb 8th, 2007 06:40:28 AM
They already gifted us with midget dating. All they have to do is divy the little fuckers up, based on their ethnicity, and then make them solve puzzles. I'll watch that for an hour.
AI is on, Survivor starts this week and TAR next by darquelyte	Feb 8th, 2007 06:43:52 AM
Yummy non-scripted tv goodness for the next few months! Much more entertaining than many scripted series these days, especially most of those lame @$$ so called comedies. ~ÐL
I know this sounds like a Lost ripoff... by Maxamegalon2000	Feb 8th, 2007 07:55:30 AM
But I had this idea long before Lost premered. I don't know how this would work, but you'd have the 16 or whatever castaways in two tribes, and they'd play the game like normal, and then when they're down to nine or so and merged, you reveal that there's a second set of 16 castaways that's been playing the same game, and now you're tribe of nine is against their tribe of nine. I don't know how this would work; they'd have to have double the production teams, and I guess they'd have to wait until they air the first set getting down to nine before they show the second set at all.

As much as most people's ideas really, really stink, that is a great idea. To add another point to it, I think this would be a great way to do the final survivor. You have to figure there aren't many more miles left in the show (though I still enjoy it), but it would be a great way for it to go out on a high. They could start the season like normal, then get down to nine (or another number) and when Jeff would normally say that the remaining members will be on the jury he tells them that there is another surprise instore. Then they go to the preview about the other tribe. It would have to be explained that the tribes started at the same time. It definately would throw a wrench into strategies that people had developed, as by the time you're down to nine you have your alliances setup, and all of a sudden your enemies have to become your friends just to survive. Great idea.
No way would they do that, Maxamegalon2000 by Acappellaman	Feb 8th, 2007 10:38:29 AM
They wouldn't spend the money playing the game with a full second team and not show you anything from it. There would be no investment from the viewers for the second team. I could see them doing something like this, but televising both teams, though. It would water things down quite a bit, though, since there were so many people involved. I can't see them pulling that off.

Obligatory by Don Lockwood	Feb 8th, 2007 10:55:32 AM
Is this show still on? Okay, seriously, I usually watch the first three or four episodes, get tired of it and then watch the finale.

Where the white women at?
THEY NEED TO DO ONE ON... by WILPOWER	Feb 8th, 2007 12:11:16 PM
... EASTER ISLAND. It would be amazingly cool. It is afterall one of the most isolated civilizations on the planet with some amazing heritage. Best of all GIANT HEADZ!!! Damn, I hope Mark Burnett reads this.
Maxamegalon2000, interesting idea. by Big Jim	Feb 8th, 2007 12:36:03 PM
Survivor is best when they throw in those twists. Your idea was sort of already done. It was the season with Rupert & Johnny Fairplay. 6 or so contestants who had been voted off were formed into a third tribe that was brought in to compete during the immunity challenges. I believe they beat both tribes and two contestants who had been voted out were allowed to return to the game.
Probst gotta eat!!! by Fire4Effect	Feb 8th, 2007 12:40:52 PM
Still waiting for the twist of Jeff Probst joining the cast one of these seasons...
They kinda did Maxamegalon2000's thing... by themikejonas	Feb 8th, 2007 01:11:03 PM
...in "Treasure Hunters" last year, just for the first episode--two separate sets of competing teams battled it out in separate locations, and at the end of the episode the two sets were brought together (almost literally running into each other at a "checkpoint" in the game) for them to realize there were more people in the game than they initially thought.
I want to see Survivor: Transylvania by Flim Springfield	Feb 8th, 2007 02:36:36 PM
They could camp in a forest outside an old castle, have some fear-based challenges like getting locked in a coffin, and bring back voted-out players as some sort of "undead" twist.
Hot girl by borisF	Feb 8th, 2007 02:36:41 PM
I am going to spank my monkey watching Michelle and Jessica.
ZOMG Anna Nicole dead! by gboybama	Feb 8th, 2007 03:01:23 PM
Pwned by drugs imo.
Or how about ... by Creamery Butter	Feb 8th, 2007 03:13:58 PM
As soon as they're down to 8 contestants, bring in 16 totally new people and split into two tribes of 12 and keep going ... although that sort of sounds like Paradise Hotel or whatever the hell that show was called. But it'd be Survivor, therefore better!
Nobel-winning physicist Anna Nicole Smith is dead by Add to Friends	Feb 8th, 2007 03:48:40 PM
Damn. Just as she was on the verge of a mathematical proof reconciling Einstein's general theory of relativity with quantum electrodynamics.
Screw it. Just give each contestant... by mrfan	Feb 8th, 2007 05:46:40 PM
a sharp hatchet then let them loose among one another. Have the island be filled with booby traps, free food, and more hatchets.
Here's my idea for a Survivor twist by Big Jim	Feb 8th, 2007 07:10:30 PM
Let the members of the Jury compete in the individual immunity challenges. If none of the jury wins immunity, things are like normal - one person gets voted off and joins the jury. If one of the Jury wins immunity, they are back in the game, safe from the vote with immunity, and to balance things out, two people get voted out. And do it from the first Jury member to the final four. That'll put the kibosh on the alliances controlling the game!
yay... by Hansorg	Feb 8th, 2007 09:03:21 PM
they voted out the only hot chick on the whole damn island...
Can't hot chicks be given 3-week immunity or something? by Flim Springfield	Feb 8th, 2007 11:19:34 PM
Yeah, yeah, that wouldn't be fair, but DAMN!
Ooh! A bush toilet! by Zarles	Feb 8th, 2007 11:58:31 PM
To wash their bush! Handy.
wow! how many seasons? by the_shogun_gunslinger	Feb 9th, 2007 03:07:53 AM
now i feel out of the loop. the only season i ever watchd was season 2...dang
Open request to Burnett... by biggles2_22	Feb 9th, 2007 07:50:05 AM
...please return to your roots! From someone who followed your career since the early stages, please please, listen up! Remember Eco-Challenge? Make it a true Survivor! No food, no shelter. Just a machete and maybe a pot for boiling water. Just put a bell on the beach for contestants who want out. This show is getting too MTV! Also, the Apprentice twist is just, well, kinda sad. Another idea: Change the venue. How about Survivor: Alaska?! Survivor: Death Valley?! Survivor: Siberia?! There are so many possiblities. The island thing is really really getting old.
biggles... by Zarles	Feb 9th, 2007 09:05:51 AM
The island thing is pretty much a necessity. When they took it to the desert in Survivor: Outback, it was as dull as could be. They could never do it in the cold weather, either. Who the hell would watch a bunch of people in parkas and goggles sitting around a fire in an igloo? Survivor is a formula, yeah, but they're messing with the formula as much as they can to keep it interesting.
I just came back from Fiji by Homer Sexual	Feb 9th, 2007 11:26:17 AM
So I can tell you this group got lucky, because it's never too hot and never drops below 70, never. We got there like a week after Survivor finished filming, but of course I have no idea where in Fiji they were. This season is really coming too soon after Cook Islands. Hard to get interested in this group. Oh, while in Fiji I discovered that many Survivors have been filmed in this area (Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Palau, Borneo and now Fiji). Ps. I wonder if a lot of gays like Ugly Betty. I, for one, watched one episode, thought it was lame, obvious and heavy-handed. Aimed at a dumb audience, no offense to fans. The nephew kid is the only good thing about the show.
Zarles by biggles2_22	Feb 9th, 2007 02:37:25 PM
Outback boring? A brush fire, flood, and my neighbor burns the skin off his hands in a fire? Dude, we must have been watching different shows.
But getting back to the point... by dj_bollocks	Feb 10th, 2007 06:30:29 AM
They did just vote off the only hot chick....
But was she really all that hot? by Big Jim	Feb 11th, 2007 04:07:37 PM
supposedly the contestant who dropped out was the hottest of all.
