I can't remember most of the people mentioned above! I cannot think of any female contestant that I would enjoy seeing as the Survivor host. Julie Chen?! LOL!!! (I can see why you ran away from the thread!)

The problem is, most of the memorable past Survivors would be terrible hosts, if only cause their very nature would hog the spotlight. The perfect host is one who keeps control of the game and the players. Remember one player who threatened to smash a food item or something in JP's face? And all it took was one "look" from JP to know the man had enough power in the game to show that would be a seriously bad mistake for a player to mess with the host. And the host needs to be able to push the right buttons during questioning at TC to get the best reactions from the Survivors. So, the gregarious personalities like Big Tom, Rupert, Boston Rob would make terrible hosts, cause they would end up stealing the show every time they talked. Stephanie needs to grow up and learn an adult vocabulary before anyone considers her as a host. Can't you see her at TC...."so Player X, didn't you think it was pretty retarded of Player Z to scream like that when his tribe won the reward? I mean, wasn't that just so gay of him?" Jerri might actually be good as a host. She doesn't really have a stand out personality. And I think she'd take a slightly evil pleasure out of pushing buttons, creating tension between players, and then sitting back smugly to watch the results.

I so agree with you Whoami. Although I'd get a kick out of Rob C as a host, I really want an anonymous host, not someone who's played the game and will say "well, when I played.... etc." and turn the show into a show about themselves. They need to find another great host like Probst, Andersen Cooper, Phil from TAR, or the Bachelor host. All of them are good hosts because they don't attempt to steal the spotlight.

I also really don't like the idea of a female host. Every female host I've seen on reality shows are the type that are trying to play Super Model as they host. The last thing I want to see is someone tilting her hips in one direction, protruding her boobs in another direction, all the while pursing her lips and gazing into the camera with a full on pout as she explains the mechanics of the next challenge. Oh, and flipping her hair. We can't forget the ever present hair flip.

I would like to nominate Joe Rogan (Fear Factor) as the new host for Survivor. Anybody want to second that?

Yep, he's funny, personable, knows how to get people motivated, and is liked by both men and women (not to mention that this gal thinks he's cute).

If CBS has any hopes for this franchise to last they will look somewhere other than past cast members. The problem with a contestant from the past is that they are all so polarizing. Take for instant Rob (of Rob and Amber) My sister loves this guy and will watch anything he is on, I hated the guy I quit watching the all star show because I couldn't stand him. I think this is the case with most of these guys. They wont gain audience with an ex cast member but they will defintly loose some

Mark Burnett probably put this out and has spies reading the boards to get an idea of what we think. Or, at least one can hope he values our opinion unlike Shapiro of Big Brother.

Hunter Ellis has been doing a good job hosting on the things he's done. I think he would be great for Survivor, especially since he played, but mostly because of his personality.

Please dont bring back Rob!!! I belive that Hunter would be good. I think Jerri would enjoy pressing buttons, but I think she'd be playing the Supermodel wannabe to a hilt! Let's also hope they dont' bring JFP back!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to see Anderson Cooper, as host. Unfortunately, he's moved up, since "The Mole," and become a serious and respected journalist. (Wow, Brenda, I didn't see your mention of Cooper, until I'd just posted. Two great mindss...)

Lol Idol -- we can dream about Anderson returning as a host someday... Actually the thought of Hunter is probably the least offensive of all the prior survivors. I can see him hosting in a style very similar to Jeff's.

I don't mind if it's a male or female. I just hope the game doesn't crash and burn because of it.
