I hope the new thread is ok... I wondered what people would like to see in next season's Survivor. I'd like:

. no hidden immunity idols, or if there are they should be difficult to find, like on Exile Island

. I'd like them to have water, but not as much food as this time

. I'd like some sort of change to the merge - either no merge or not when people expect it


Anyone else?

No more All Stars there has to be enough people out there that would love to be on Survivor.

I've always thought that Survivor would be awesome to have both tribes on one beach. You still have tribal lines and challenge wins only for tribes, but after challenges and TC, they all live together on the same beach. That would add an interesting dynamic to the social game, and the numbers at the merge.

F2 only! I like Exile Island too sometimes. I think it might be interesting to have both tribes on the same beach but just very close to each other. It'd be interesting to see them sneak around with the other tribe.

No more Russell and definitely only ONE well hidden immunity idol. Also, no more biased blogs from Jeff selling his favorite player as he did the past three seasons with Coach and Russell.

I like the HII's but they have to do a much better job of hiding them. Don't you all remember how boring it used to get when one side had the upper hand and proceeded to pick off player after player from the other tribe?

All of the above:

No more biased blogs from Jeff.
No more "characters", just real people.
No more all stars. Ever.
No more multiple HIIs. Just one per tribe.

I'd like to see Exile Island come back. I'd also love to see the tribes on the same beach.

Did they say where next season was gonna be?

Nicaragua! Looks gorgeous!

I actually read Jeff's and Dalton's blogs to GET their opinions and/or viewpoints! I have seen the show - I know what happened - I know how it struck me. I read here to get the opinions of my fellow TVCHer's, and I read the blogs to get J and D's thoughts on the show as well.

Nicaragua - Central America. I can't wait. I fell in love with Belize when I was there, and Nicaragua is just south. It'll be amazing.

I always thought that blogs were to offer an opinion and opinions are biased. I like the blogs for that reason - I can get a recap from other sources.

I never liked Exile Island. Always seemed boring and it took away from the rest of the show (which isn't long enough as it is).

How about survivor get back to it's roots...like in S2 where they were nearly starving to death...today's contestants are far
to pampered. Nobody ever complains about "surviving" anymore.

No more tribes. All 20 start together.
Pick teams before each challenge.
Some times 2 teams. Some times 3 teams. Some times 4 teams.
If there is an extra player, send them to exile island for tribal council. They are basically safe that week.
Have some random individual immunity weeks where all compete alone.
Let more than 1 person win immunity when there are still many people left.
No HII or just 1 on exile island.
All new people.
Go back to final 2.

Survivor Cook Islands started with 4 tribes and allowed them to be creative with different rewards for placing first, second or third. Mixing up each challenge would keep everyone off guard and force you to play/interact with all the other contestants.

Well there's a difference in offering an opinion than drooling all over one player as Jeff did with both Coach and Russell. Way over the top, IMO. And they turned out to be the most disliked players in their seasons too.

I agree with most of the above. Some of what I'd like above the others are, I'd like to see Exile Island come back, I would rather an idol be found there than at camp. No producer enhanced game, if in fact that did happen this past two seasons. I still like having two tribes, but I wouldn't mind seeing things change up throughout the season, like losing someone before the merge. And I think Jeff should remain unbiased throughout the season.

Bring on the Blogs! Love the Blogs. Blogs are about opinion. And I really enjoy getting the opinion of an insider: Jeff.

I'd like the idols to be harder to find, like they were on exile. Often it took several clues to find the idol.

I really can't complain much. Mostly it's the personal interaction that is interesting.

As long as he is unbiased "in the game," I have no problem with Jeff having opinions about the players. I don't think we have ever seen any bias displayed at a challenge or at TC or in - for that matter - a medical emergency. As long as he is unbiased on the job, he is free to write whatever he thinks sitting at home on his couch - just as you and I are.

I also think that a whole lot of what Jeff posts is "tongue in cheek." He works for the show - not us - and it is the job of the show to bring us "good TV!"

Another thing I would like is for everyone eliminated to vote; I think it would make things much more interesting. We'd see if people would treat each other differently from the beginning, or if it would be the same as it is now.

Let us Canadians apply!

I do enjoy Jeff's blogs, and if I remember correctly they did have both tribes on the same beach for awhile in one season. I do think Exile was a downer and pulled away from all the action I would rather see. I did enjoy seeing some of the old challenges again, so I wouldn't mind recycled challenges with maybe some reference to where they first appeared.

I would love to see an "aftershow" each week with the eliminated player, maybe a half hour once they had a few of them booted and their days at the Ponderosa.

The one tribe split they have never done that I think would be interesting is "Youth vs Experience"- 1 tribe of people under 30, 1 tribe of people over 30.

A couple of foreign versions of the show have done some variations for TC:

-The "black vote": When a player is eliminated, they get to make one final vote before they leave against anyone left in the game. That vote activates the next time that person comes to TC without immunity up until the final four.

-Ballot Stuffing: When the tribes merge, each person is allotted one vote for every round left in the game. At each TC, they can use one OR MORE of their votes- or even none if they choose (or are forced to by using all their votes early). One person could use all their votes at once- at the price of then not being able to vote for the rest of the season (however, votes can be traded or given among players, or even won in Reward Challenges- but once someone is voted out, their remaining votes are lost- they can't transfer them at that point).

No violent challenges, I don't like them getting physical with each other.

I just read an exit interview w/Colby and got the idea... Every few days, the production staff votes and awards a creature comfort to the person contributing most to camp maintenance/food supply, i.e a blanket, pillow, plate of food, private shower, etc.

Yes a bit of a harsher environment than they had with HvsV. I don't mind the hidden immunities but they should hide them prior to when a clue is given. I can go either way with exile island. I'd like a person from each side to go to EI together like they did one season. When they get to EI there is a min challenge to see who gets the clue.

Something new I'd like to see is when the tribes go for IC that one of the winning teams member is voted MVP and they get some sort of perk like they can decide if they want to swap a teammate maybe next time the MVP gets a meal or meet with the other tribe for a day.

Something else that might be fun is the other tribe gets to decide who sits out in a challenge.

Maybe the winning team for reward gets to take one member of the other tribe with them.

These could all be interspersed from episode to episode.

Either way I do like watching Survivor. I've never given up on a season. I've quit BB twice. I can never seem to finish watch a DWTS or AI.

But the most important aspect of Survivor is the casting. Let's get a bunch of people to play this game without ulterior motives like kick starting a acting career.

I'd second the "no violent challenges." Some of them have been completely over the top these last few seasons. It's a wonder there haven't been more injuries than there have.
