I saw a teaser last night on CBS - during King of Queens.

It showed Survivor starting on the 19th of sept.

BUT - it also said that this season the two teams will be gender based at first - Men against the Women.

I am pretty certain that this will not last long in Survivor time (maybe two or three evictions worth), but i found it fascinating that they would go this route right off the bat!

They show one of the women saying something to the effect that they cannot wait to kick the guys as--s.

What do you think about this "twist"

I saw that, too. I don't think it will last TOO long, either, before they mix it up again.

First, separating men vs. women means no possibility of romance and flirting (unless there are two gays on a team), and romance makes for great reality television.

Second, they will have to ensure the competitions aren't unfair to the women, which will limit the kinds of comps they can have (endurance OK, raw strength not OK).

Third, the most memorable relationships to come out of the show so far are man/woman, even though they weren't sexual in nature: Colby/Tina, Elizabeth/Roger, Neleh/Pascal.

But I like that they're always trying to come up with something new.

Also like that so many participants are OLDER PEOPLE!! They make for the best players, IMO.

I think Mark Burnett has wanted to see a women vs. men thing all along, but so far it hasn't happened. I've heard him in the background cursing the stupid contestants....LOL!

This way he helps it along, see what happens, but can always reserve the right to "twist" out of any situation that doesn't give hime the kind of outcome he wants. Oh my heck, I do love this game best of all!!! There's no place like home!!

I don't think it lasts longer than the landing on the beach. Notice JP telling them to sit down ladies on the right men on the left. What do you think are under their seats. Reminds me of the twist in S4.

RIGHT NOW>>> Watch E>>> They are talking about Survivor (how it began, etc) on E right now.... How they did the casting, why they enrolled (in the first one), etc. Interesting stuff...
