I'm wondering.... Does the fact that there are three tribes to follow make it more difficult, or does it add to the show??? Personally I can't wait until the merge, as I don't think they show enough of each tribe's dynamics for me to really get a feel for what is taking place. After the merge, then it will be easier as less people mean more face time for the others. What about you folks... are you enjoying the three tribe setup??? Should they do this again in the future???

I like the 3 tribe setup because it's a welcome change after 6(or is it 7?) shows with the regular 2 teams. I think they should continue or have a few switches earlier in the game to shake things up and before alliances can be formed. I would like to see how that would play out.

I hate having 3 tribes. Trying to show what is going on at 3 camps in an hour does not leave us with much info. If I didn't already know these suvivors from previous seasons, I would really be lost. I also hate the fact that there are no consequences for coming in second in the competitions. It is hurting my score in the Deadpool.

I'd like to see them get rid of the tribe concept all together. Just put the players on the island and let them build their shelter, find food, try to make fire, form alliances, etc... They can still have individual reward and immunity challenges, but maybe start out with the top 5 getting immunity and reducing it as it goes along. Anything that would help reduce the "flying under the radar" strategy. I always like the better after the merge, so why not start at that point. If they started with 15 or 17, then everyone could be on the jury and you would have to be accountable for all of your actions from day one.

Bob...I love that idea. I hate it that aliances have already been formed before the merge. No amount of twisted or swapping has really changed it. They could still do team challenges...just draw sticks or something to see which team you would be on. And since everyone has to stay there the whole 39 days, let them all be on the jury too.

Good thinking Bob. I like your version. It would be nice if they tried it just once at least. You might want to write to them with your idea. I'd like a show where the best of the best are divided into two tribes, but nobody is voted off. The tribes compete for rewards as usual. The added twist would be that the tribe that best provides shelter and food for their group gets a reward also, or perhaps gets points that will add up in the end. I really would like to see what they eat, how they cook it, or if they don't cook it. How they accomplish everyday tasks such as searching for food would be interesting. I think my idea is more along the lines of a National Geographic show...lol However, wow.... the arguments, the friction, the show-offs, the nudists... hehe Add web cams for 24/7 viewing... hehe

1 tribe sounds ok but there will still be alliances formed because you will need to get people to not vote for you at tc. And having that many on a jury would be too confusing and would be for a longer final show with too many speeches, imo.

Three tribes is not too much but Survivor should have been scheduled for twice a week. One day the reward challenge, second day immunity challenge. We need more video of the scheming and to get a sense of the dynamics within each tribe. We just arent getting that

Hi All, Haven't posted here this year,but,you should check out the CBS site.They are showing more info for us,because of the short shows. Tapes of camp life,confessionals,things they do in down time and getting and preparing food. Some of the oysters Rupert got made me very hungry,he steamed them.They were huge!!! New videos are up each week after the show. You will enjoy a different look at the interaction.

There are a handfull of survivors it seems that are getting the bulk of the air time. It's hard to get a grip on some of the folks out there because for the most part all we see is them in the team challenges (& then some of them are sitting out). Richard, Rob M, Ruppert, & Tom seem to be getting more than their share of TV time while Colby is barely seen. Kathy isn't seen much either. These are 2 strong past competitors that I personally want to see more of.

What if they put all 16 in one tribe...then at the immunity challange they draw teams. 8 on each. The losing team goes to TC. Then all 15 back in one tribe. Next immunity challange redraw for teams(8v7). Losing team to TC and so on. So the teams are shook up but you still have team challanges. Oh and of course do not tell them of the redraw of teams each challange til they figure it out. Can you imagine everyone having to scramble for alliances after each challange?

Thanks Wisgal. I often do not go to cbs and just rely on tvch. I really appreciate the extra info.

Hey...Loganv...I think you got part of your wish. In a promo I saw last night of next weeks show they have a challenge & the losing team is dissolved.Becoming part of they other tribes. That could be a lot of fun to watch the new interaction.
