Yesssss!

This all sounds fantastic...now if only MB would take the advice and restructure the game.

It really is getting stale, the way things are going down now...most tying their hands for the whole show with alliances and the one or two renegades, making and breaking promises, consequently winning.

Very poor sportsmanship.

The idea to have an ALLSTAR Survivor was good, however the choice to cast a bunch of friends who routinely see each other was a HUGE mistake.

This is what is making this season so boring...these people all really know each other well. (except shi ann and rupert who were just playing it under the radar)
**
I guess they wouldnt have been able to call it "allstar" if they had just casted random people from other seasons, but Did we really want to see the previous winners compete AGAIN??? I mean, Ethan is cute and I didnt mind oogling him again but he already won the big $$ and someone else could have had the chance to play.
*****
I, too, love the idea of an individuals only Survivor. This would probably work best if located in a very tough to live in locale where everyone must work together to survive. In an individual game I would think there would be no slackers who are 'riding it out' to merge. I also think the popularity contest voting out of the first few contestants would change to "who's going to be a strong threat to reach endgame"

We had a Survival-type race/competition film up here in British Columbia a few years ago. It was great and with our weather you can have sunny bikini-days and the next day you need your thermal underwear LOL. This is where an Ultimate Survivor should be located. Excellent scenery, Lots of berries in the fall and the variable weather needed to show adequate SKIN needed for USA ratings.

It is a great idea. Pamy, they chose Alicia as least deserving probably because she "appears" to be a raving control freak, angry woman. They should know, they lived with her and all voted. That would be my guess.

The only problem with individual immunity from the beginning is that it would make it that much harder to get rid of someone like Rob or Colby, and the senior players would be sitting ducks. As it is now the teams have the chance to get rid of the stronger players before the merge (if they have the wisdom) to keep them from cruising on through to the final two.

"picture it"
1) 16 survivors all brought to one spot with a basic camp already set up for them.
2) The 1st tree mail send them in to get the game scoop which somehow randomly splits them into 2 or 3 groups (just for that comp.)
3) They then compete in a combined team RC/IC & the loser group goes imediatly to TC to evict one of their temporary team members.
4) 3 days later, the remaining 15 go back & the 1st thing is IC - this person sits out & the other 14 randomly split into 2 teams for another IC. The losser temp. team goes to TC & votes someone out.
5) They continue this method until they are down to 10 & then they go into the individual mode.

What do you all think?

I like it, except I'm a little fuzzy on part 4. Which person sits out? Are they doing two IC's?

I like the idea of an immediate TC so they won't have time to coordinate their votes. They won't be able to do it beforehand either because they'd never know who'll end up on their team.

Texasdeb - great idea, and Survivor won't survive much longer if there isn't some more big twists. Now, how to get TPTB's to see your suggestions.......???

many people have stated that this ASS has been boring, but I'm not one of them. i've enjoyed every episode of this season. i feel boston Rob deserves to win. and he's cute too...

Yes, I won't be sad if Boston Rob wins, he does deserve it, but I would be happy if Shiann or Rupert won too. As long as Alicia got slapped down, I'm happy. She can crow about being on the jury all she wants but she got flung. lolollol!

How long can this show that we love so much continue when the people who are the meanest, laziest, and least deserving, continue to win?

Ethan is the only winner in the entire series who I thought deserved the win. Every other winner has been yuck-pooey.

Same with BB.

I am pretty much the Reality junkest junky of all, but I'm getting sick of it, and someday, I might just not watch some show, some time. Or I might keep watching all of them. But I promise to be really Pi**ed-off.

Considering that a couple of years ago I watched every "reality show" that aired, here are the ones I refused to watch lately:
The Swan, What the "contestants" go through is ok with me, but I hate the "Reveal".
The Bachelor, now that I think it's all totally fake.
What ever that show is on Sci Fi about alternate life styles
I didn't watch Adam's show, except during commercials.

All I can say is thanks for real, reality TV such as HGTV and Food Network. I find I am watching those shows more than any other.

Hey..Sunrvrose!!!!!!

You sound like me sometimes when I get angry with who wins (like Allison on BB last year)...

"I just might not watch some show, some time..."

LOL...that is about how angry I get...empty threats to the "air"....but I feel a little better afterwards!!! LOL

I was watching some show yesterday on Discovery kids and it was ind of a Survivor-y show- only kids at camp. I didn't watch the whole thing- just the end but it was kind of neat how they did it. They were paired off (blue team, orange team, etc) and they would do a competition. The winning pair chose two of the other pairs who they wanted to go to their version of TC. So they pick the two pairs and those four kids go and they play basically three rounds of rock, paper, scissors (only it was fire, water, and earth)- the losers of that go home.

Survivor could use a twist like that. I didn't like the rock, paper, scissors thing but if they were in groups of 2 or 3, maybe the winning tribe (immunity) could chose which 2 tribes they want to go to TC. Maybe for Survivor those two tribes would have to do a competition and the losing tribe would go to TC.

Kaili, I know which one you're talking about. It's called Endurance. I watched both seasons of it (yeah, even though it's supposed to be for kids). It's funny because teenagers are so naturally bent toward melodrama anyway, so they take it very personally and really get into it.

Of course after suing other shows for supposedly copying his ideas, Burnett could never borrow a page from someone else's book now.

Right that was it! There was nothing on TV Saturday morning (especially since I don't have cable) so I settled on that one. Nothing like teaching them backstabbing and all the other aspects of these type of reality game shows young, huh?

AS sad as this sounds, kids these days already know how to backstab by Jr high. Most often it's the girls who are the ones who master the backstabbing early on. Think about, how many times did you come across a person in jr high or high school who acted like a friend to someone just to steal a friend/boyfriend out from under that persons nose? Or betray trust just to get even with someone who made you mad? I had many friends stab me in the back for stupid things..
I honestly think these kids know what they are dong and it's not shows that teach them these things. JMHO

Sure, but the fact that they're being put in a situation where it's not only encouraged, but also rewarded, IMHO doesn't really help. Yeah they'll do it, but they're having people rooting for them to do it.

Funny, Teach...Trish on The Bachelor was saying the same thing last night about having only male friends.

I do too...I just feel more comfortable with them.

Lots of female acquaintances but my true friends are male.

YIKES>>>I would rather have NOTHING in common with that little, um, well, hmmm...can't think of a "proper" word to call her!

BUT ~ I agree. Women can sometimes get on your last nerve if they're "girlie girls" who like to whine, complain, and draw out the claws!

That said, I do have 2 really close girlfriends who know every single little detail about me (and I them) and it's so nice to have that kind of friendship. At school we have "girls' night out" about once every 2 months or so, just to help build some of those relationships and to avoid too much cattiness and cliques!

When I was younger I had guy friends. As I get older I find that I have, need and depend on my women friends. They are a lot more likely to be there when you are sick and can't take care of your own child, when you need someone to vent to about whatever happens at your work and/or with your significant other, and when you just need someone to sit down with and laugh until you cry. I am blessed to have some great women friends.

Yes, I can see your points, Teach & Roxip.

I dunno...I guess we all look for what we need in our own personal lives and each is different.
