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: Beauty Brains and Brawn needs a sequel" |
Sure, I'd make another wrinkle - Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty vs. Bums. Get a season with five nerds, five jocks, five prima donnas, and five average schmos off the street.The flaw to this season, though, is that the tribal stages are all about teamwork, and the Brawn tribe has a huge innate advantage in that while the Brains generally are at a disadvantage. The Brawn tribe was Cliff, Tony, Sarah, Woo, Trish, and a quitter. That's a basketball player and two cops - all teamwork professions. Two athletics instructors - also pretty heavy teamwork involved, especially in martial arts. The hairstylist was the one who didn't belong, but still...that's a lot of teamwork. The Brains? An economics student, an accountant, a lawyer, a nuclear engineer, a poker player, and a baseball executive. Lawyers work in teams, yes, but lawyers are notoriously bad at Survivor (only Cochran won, and he works as a comedy writer now.) The rest, except maybe the baseball executive, imply introversion and a solo path. This is a team that is not at all designed to work well together. There's a reason that the tribe switch included all six Brawn and only three Brains.

As long as there's 1/3 beauties. 
Didn't you find the brains contestants weren't that smart? That might have been a casting issue. They weren't great at puzzles, shelter, social dynamics or the challenges.... Cochran was terrible at the game in his first season....he didn't seem to understand the social element. He came back the second time around and seemed to be much more social. Going back to your average schmoes idea, they might have a "Haves" vs. "Have nots" face off season. One tribe with all of the advantages in life. They're the ones from rich families, great schools, good genes, etc. The other are ones just eeking their way through life. I wouldn't mind the show mining the Beauty, brawn brains season for future shows because I thought they were all pretty interesting characters. They played as aggressive as I've seen any season and even the ones that didn't had interesting personality quirks. The Beauty tribe was smarter and more athletic than they were given credit for... they solved the puzzles and challenges just fine. The brawn, well mostly Tony, was smarter than most of the Brains tribe. I guess street smarts is more important. The Brains were going to stick together, but whenever you have a traitor in your mist, it just blows everything out the water. Kass was just too much of a wildcard for any group with her to last--I really do not understand her game at all...there's no way anyone would vote for her with her brand of game. By the way, I'm getting sick of quitters. If they quit, that's it, they should have a scarlet letter and be forever banished.
