Does anyone know where the new Survivor is going to be? I wonder where they find the places for Survivor?

I know it would be impossible for production and stuff, but I would love to see one in like a place that is icy and cold. Where they would have to ice fish and make igloos. But then there would be no bikinis, no T&A, and no stripping for peanut butter and chocolate. It's a shame that people still think those are the only things that make ratings.

I also would like to see them do something like maybe in the North Pole. See how they would survive that, and haven't they done one in Panama but I am not sure unless they are going back to it.

Exile Island doesn't look like much fun to be banished to, but Jeff said there might be something there that will help you win the million dollars.

*sigh* I've decided not to even get excited for the "two twists" or the "tribes separated like never before." Between now and when the new Survivor airs, we are going to come up with speculations of what the twists will be that are imaginative and brilliant. Any one of which would set this show on its ear and make it wildly interesting. In the end, the "twists" will barely be tweaks in stuff that's been done over and over and over. And the "never before" thing will be something we'll all be saying, "what? I know I remember them doing that in Season XYZ! What do they mean they've never done this before?" Anyone want to bet with me?

I would like them to have one big tribe that lives together and for every reward challenge and immunity challenge they draw tribes. There is no way you could form strong alliances since you would never know who would be on your tribe for each challenge.

I have a feeling they might start with one ubertribe and have the first RC's be like, win and you get the reward and stay, lose and you go to exile, and the IC's be individual till they get to 14, then split them up to 2 tribes.....

I doubt there will ever be a cold weather Survivor. One reason of course is the clothes issue, but I think mostly it is the safety thing. While hot humid weather with bugs, etc can be dangerous, it is mostly just uncomfortable. Really cold weather can be deadly. People could get frostbite and hypotherma without realizing how serious it is even with health people nearby. It would be really irresponsible.

If that were the case, there wouldn't be any Eskimos! (After all, they could issue a parka to each player) It would be an awesome spin on the already same ole, same ole Survivor by the water.

The Eskimos have lived in their climate forever. They know how to handle it. You think some of these bozos who go on Survivor could be trusted not to get careless. Come on, it is not the same. I don't think a parka would do it. Just think about them building a shelter. Don't think they have palm frons in Alaska or the north pole. They would have to provide a whole lot more "stuff" and think of building sets for the challenges. And water challenges would be pretty much eliminated. Now don't get me wrong. I would love to see it, but I think the risks and the expense would outweigh the advamtages in the minds of the producers. Of course, I think the lack of bikinis would be the most compelling reason for no cold weather sites.

I too would like to see a cold weather Survivor - but only if they're willing to air it when it's warm outside lol. It was -15C when I left my house this morning - don't think I can handle watching people freeze if I am too.... Makes me think of that dogsled race they have up North (Alaska? Yukon?) ahhh google says: http://www.iditarod.com/ maybe Mark Burnett could work on a Survivor dog sled race like this one (ohhh could be like a cross between Amazing race and Survivor on snow....) Oh...and just thought I should mention that the peoples of the North preferred to be called Inuit instead of Eskimo http://collections.ic.gc.ca/arctic/inuit/people.htm

Forget frostbite. The only reason you'll never see Survivor Snowbunny is because they won't have enough footage of women and men running around with the bare minimum of clothing. Personally, though, I'd love to see them someplace in between... not hot and not cold. Like, Syberia in the summer!

This season's two "twists" were Bobby John and Stephanie, and the hidden immunity idol. Boring and dumb... The twists I'd like to see are: 1. The winning tribe gets to vote off the person from the losing tribe. When they merge, nobody will be able to trust anybody else. 2. As in Amazing Race, two or three times during the 39 day period, the votes won't count (non-elimination weeks). Can you imagine finding out your tribe doesn't want you, and then getting a break? The backstabbing would be deelishious!!

i wish they would drop everyone off separately and they only meet at challenges so there's no "table talk"... they won't be close enough to others to make alliances and friends. or, whoever gets eliminated takes someone else out with them! start with 30 and have them go down like flies until there are 4 left. you would not want to be the one to start the 'let's get rid of so-and-so' talk because that person could be voted off and take you with them for being the one who was most against them. have more hidden things such as the idol this time. have the jury able to see what has transpired up to when they left. each person can see the tapes up to the night they got eliminated. have everyone on the jury. sacrifice a tribemate and see if the others eat him/her or stay loyal to the ceremonial aspect. okay, that last one's a joke, although i still think it was unfeeling at best for the 3 gals to eat the chicken. if you violate the local peoples' beliefs, you should be able to be sent packing by production. "johnny blew a snot rocket after sundown. he's outta here!"

I don't like the idea of the ones voted off getting to see the tapes. I say if they did not know what went on during their stay, then they should not get to see it later. Make their decision on what they were able to learn while they were there, or what they could learn from other survivors. It would not be fair to someone who was so careful to avoid being seen plotting to have the evicted ones see what they accomplished. I do like the idea of having a vote being a non elimination vote. Wow! How angry would that person be when they got back to camp. It would really stir things up. I liked the hidden immunity idol. I would like something along that line, but maybe have more than one. I also like the idea of at least once letting the team that won vote off the other teams person. But make it a super hard challenge and let them know ahead of time that this is happening to make them really work for it. The rewards are getting too generous. They should go back to more simple rewards, and having spa like rewards only occasionally and they should only be able to take one person. I really liked the one where they got cloth, and sewing materials, and they were able to make clothes. That isort of thing is more interesting to me than showers and steaks and booze. Of course, I am sure they would not agree. LOL

Try this article Survivor: Panama is believed to have begun filming on or about October 31 and wrapped production late last week. While CBS has yet to announce a premiere date for Survivor: Panama, the series is expected to debut in early 2006, although presumably not until after NBC's seventeen-day 2006 Winter Olympics coverage ends on Sunday, February 26 -- a decision that would delay the show's premiere until Thursday, March 2.

Here's a different answer: Survivor locale gets ready to host another show by Joe Taylor --- A. M. Costa Rica The Panama News - November/2005 Thanks to Wezzie for the article link Filming begins Tuesday in the Pearl Islands of Panama for a new "Survivor." Once again the 354-room Hotel Contadora Resort on Contadora Island is serving as the command center for the upcoming $275 million production of this mega-hit television show. Mark Burnett, the show’s creator, is clearly attracted to the rugged beauty, the remoteness, and the rich pirate history of the Pearl Islands, an archipelago of nearly 200 islands 20 minutes by air from Panama City. This will be the third time that he has filmed the show there. The area was the location for "Survivor 7" in 2003 and "Survivor All-Stars" in 2004. The security around the Hotel Contadora is significant. Most of Playa Larga, the largest beach on the island, has been roped off. Only the 350 crew members staying in the hotel and the locals with an official ID are allowed to enter. The guards tell everyone else that “the hotel is undergoing renovations” and not to proceed another step. The security in the waters around Contadora Island is even more formidable. Several dozen Panamanian soldiers in boats are patrolling the area between Contadora Island and the islands of Chapera and Mogo Mogo where most of the filming will take place. If curiosity seekers get too close to either of these islands, they will be immediately intercepted and told to leave. Crew members and locals hired by "Survivor" do not provide any information about the upcoming season because they have signed a five-year confidentiality agreement not to discuss the show with anyone. The usual rumors of enormous bribes paid to "Survivor" employees by tabloids have begun. The curtain of secrecy on the island is so thick that only those fans who are willing to outplay, outwit, and outlast the competition will ever have a chance of finding out what is going on behind the scenes on Contadora Island. For the many "Survivor" enthusiasts who have been flocking to the Pearl Islands since 2003, they do not mind being told to leave. It is all part of the excitement. Tony Ayala, manager of the Contadora Island Inn, has met many of these fans whom he calls "Survivor" trekkies. They come to the island all the time, he said, adding that they want to see where Rupert Boneham won the immunity challenges, or where Colby Donaldson took his shirt off, or where Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich fell in love. These travelers are easy to identify with their "Survivor" buffs, hats, and T-shirts. Their vocabulary is filled with references to previous "Survivor" sites such as Palau, Vanuatu, and Borneo, and they talk about Jeff Probst, the host of the show, as if he were a dear family friend. Ayala enjoys telling about the time when he was asked by Mark Burnett to work full-time for "Survivor." “I told him that it was a great show, but that the main concept of the show ‘sucked'. These guys work together to become a tight group and then they are encouraged to stab each other in the back. What is that all about?” he asked. Some on the island suspect, however, that Ayala is a closet fan of "Survivor." He enjoys telling about the cameo appearance he made on "Survivor" in 2003 when he served a beer to Boneham that the star had won in a reward challenge. Until the filming stops and all the clean-up work is completed in mid-December, the island will lack some of its tranquillo ambiance. The locals do not seem to mind at all. The business generated by "Survivor" is enormous. The owner of the Sagittarius, the small restaurant where many locals eat on Contadora Island, loves feeding the dozen or more soldiers who come in on a regular basis at mealtime. She says that until the arrival of the "Survivor" crew in early October, business had been extremely slow for several months. She doesn’t have to even give the soldiers a check. She just writes down the number of meals served each day and then submits the figure to "Survivor" for payment. Small boat owners and local guides also busily shuttle crewman back and forth from Hotel Contadora to Mogo Mogo and Chapera to prepare the sites for the 18 new "Survivor" contestants, each of whom hopes to leave the Pearl Islands with a million dollars in prize money. CBS "Survivor 12" airs Feb. 6 right after the Super Bowl.

ABC is airing the next Super Bowl, not CBS. It doesn't make sense for CBS to have the Survivor premiere be on the same night as the Super Bowl when the SB is on another network (S2 and S8 premiered after the SB when CBS also had the SB rights). I think that Panama News reporter is making a bad assumption.
