PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

1. "RE: Season Theme Idea" |
That's an interesting idea but there aren't enough Fallen Heroes for a game of Survivor. Eight players have been eliminated for medical reasons over the years.Michael Skupin S2 (Australian Outback)
Bruce Kanegai S12 (Panama)
Gary Stritesky S14 (Fiji)
Jonathan Penner S16 (Micronesia)
James Clement S16 (Micronesia)
Joe Dowdle S18 (Tocantins)
Mike Barassi S19 (Samoa)
Russell Swan S19 (Samoa) Two of those, Jonathan and James, had previously played. We could bring in another five if we throw in quitters. Osten Taylor S7 (Pearl Islands)
Jenna Morasca S8 (All-Stars)
Sue Hawk S8 (All-Stars)
Janu Tornell S10 (Palau)
Kathy Sleckman S16 (Micronesia) And two of those, Jenna and Sue, had previously played. So, we need three more players for the Waste-A-Space tribe. Note too that all the Fallen Heroes are men, so for this game Osten is a girl, our three more WAS tribe should be girls.

Well, if we throw in quitters you would have BB (if he's still alive!) Shawna (S6), Ashlee, Jeff and Ian (S10), Chett (S16), GC (S17) and Jerry (S18). Of all those, there's really only Skupin, Bruce, Joe and Swan that I'd be remotely interested in seeing a second time. No, make that Skupin only.

I don't remember Kim as a 'quitter'. She was a do-nothing who was spared because Jeff got injured. Ashlee was the one who refused to eat and was voted out because the other Ulong members thought she had pretty much given up.

LAST EDITED ON 01-05-10 AT 08:47 PM (EST)You may just get what you wanted! http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/survivor_21/2010_Jan_05_future_plans "The show will keep up what it started in Samoa and use just one location a year for two seasons, and producers are considering including returning cast members during one of the two seasons every year...Undoubtedly, the every-other-season all-star season would be themed... like bringing back those who were medically evacuated or evicted first for a second chance."

How about a "Survival of the Fittest" season? No socializing in order to win over jury votes, just do everything you can to stay alive. Each person would have to forage for their own food, water, and shelter. Every time they have a challenge, the last person to finish is out of the game. And if you decide you can't cut it, you can quit. Last person standing is the sole survivor.

While that may certainly be true in the "market share" way, social experimentation has it's merits as well.Great shows are made from giving the audience "an inside look into..." how people react to out-of-the-normal situations.
There is just as much drama (and entertainment) to be derived from watching people push their limits without the "luxury" of socializing. In fact, Solitary has based it's gameplay upon the premise that having the other contestants remain out of sight, set's the power of the game squarely on the individual contestants shoulders. Having no visual or aural clues as to who your competitors are leaves tons of room for interpretation.
Thereby allowing contestants to make-up their competitors, often FAR from the truth. Whereas with Survivor it is more of a popularity contest, as your game is solely dependent on how the others react to your actions. Having people stranded on their own breeds whole new personae. To deal with the lack of socializing, people become a little bit "crazy" which added to the normal bit of enduring-nature's-wrath personality alterers, it's BOUND to be chock full of nuts! Entertainment, whether social or not. This all comes, mind you, from one of two people, that I know, who watched Shipwrecked. One of a handful of fans of PBS's Ranch House and Colonial House and of the BBC's Castaway series.
IMO, there doesn't always have to be a traditional "game" aspect attached in order for it to be an interesting (and viewable) social experiment.
Nor does the contestant NEED to be socialized in order to be watchable.

We've seen people on their own on Exile Island since S10 and it's already too much. For the rare meltdown or inspirational moment, we 've gotten way too much Sugar shack images.

Well, there'd still be socializing because they would all have to interact with each other. What I hate is the fake friendships for the sake of alliances. All of that would be stripped away in a "survival of the fittest" game and I think you would get some really interesting emotions and interactions.

13. "Mon petit verite faux " |
To start with, since I'm very low budget and may end up having to film the whole series on the cheap, I want to bring a few things for production purposes:
For "native", landscape and animal imagery Sue Hawk, Cirie Fields, Andrew Savage, Candice Woodcock and Russell Swan.
For staffing Gina Crews, for electricity Kim Powers, I better cash this in now Stephannie Favor, and because better safe than sorry Peih-Gee Law. Now, to represent the true melting pot I wanted to invite a mix of colors with a mix of occupations...
For Color:
GC Brown, Nick Brown, Ben Browning, Clarence Black, Ramona Gray, Natalie White, Julie Berry and Stephanie Dill. Wha?
What's that?
Out of money already? Carp.
Hmmm...okay...think think... Ooo got it!
Sponsers!
Welcome, Maralyn Hershey's, Jonathan Libby's, Randy Bailey's, Tina Wesson, James Miller, Chet Welch's, Crystal Cox and Jerry Sims. OKay, now to continue with my "dream" of a melting pot of colors and occupations. For Occupation:
Judd Sergeant, Ashley Trainer, Twila Tanner, Sean Rector, Tyson Apostol, Danni Boatwright... Wha?
Again?
Gah!
.
.
.
.
.
Ah-hah!
Due to "Nepotism" these contestants have all been "asked" to join:
Joel Anderson, Colby Donaldson, Frank Garrison, Kel Gleason, Patricia Jackson, Darrah Johnson, Dave Johnson, Ghandia Johnson, Kim Johnson, Gillian Larson, Bobby Mason, Mitchell Olson, Gervase Peterson, Anthony Robinson, Jaison Robinson, Bubba Sampson, Tina Wesson, Jeff Wilson, Taj Johnson-George, B.B. Andersen and Ethan Zohn. Wow!
Who knew it would be this expensive... and expansive!?
Note to self:
New tagline to read; 52 survivors! 12 months! 1 huge debt!

oh, yeah. And instead of ending each episode with a snuffed torch we can rather "pull the plug". Rather than "the tribe has spoken" change it to, "rest in peace". Or "You've flat-lined".

25. "RE: Mon petit verite faux " |
LAST EDITED ON 01-12-10 AT 09:29 PM (EST)OMG Im rolling so hard at you guys, this is too freaking funny. Love the www.letsgetthisover site, I couldnt find where to register, or sign up so I could give my 75 cents per day to help the poor survivalists. Everyone knows that for the cost of a cup of coffee you can adopt a survivalist. Without your support money, these survivalists would become malnurished, weak, and will just end up degrading themselves. However, with your support, you can help them eat for 39 days. They will get rice, beans, water, and even shelter supplies and medical attention. Your survivalist will be given a social education, and a chance to become welthy. And when you adopt a survivalist, www.letsgetthisover will send you a photo of your adopted survivalist and give you a detailed profile of that survivalist for you to keep. You will get updates on their progess every 7 days on Thursdays and special noted times. Please, Won't you help a survivalist? ARW
