I have a couple of ideas for new, fresh survivor locations. One that they could do would be on one of the islands off Greece, like Crete or Spinalonga. I lived on Crete for 2 years and there are a couple of places that they could probably do it. Do a kind of olympic theme with ancient gods also in the scenario.
I think that would be really cool. There are also places around mexico and south america that would be marvelous. And going back to the downunder would be terrific. One off the Florida keys somewhere might be interesting. Any other ideas?? Also, if anyone connected to the show reads these to see what people think they know about survivor, pitch the crete idea to the producers.

I have another idea of a new survivor theme or whatever. I say pick 8-10 or even 16 survivor candidates and let them list their top 5 choices of a previous survivor from a previous show they would like to challenge to be on the opposite team or one they would like to partner up with in a Survivor pairs-the unknown partner show. Like for instance, I would pick maybe the following: 1)Andrew Savage-survivor Pearl Island, 2)Kathy Vavrick
O'Brien-Marqueses-all-stars 3)Rupert -all-stars 4)Richard Hatch
Borneo 5)Gina - don't remember but she was really smart and she had some great ideas

ohhhhhhhh goooooooooooooooooooooood! I wouldn't wanna pair up with anyone, but, I think it would be really fun to pick 8 newbies and let each one pick a previous survivor to come back. Wow! Fun! I think I would pick Greg...I missed S1 but I watched the DVD and he made me laugh. I like to be around people who crack me up and he was a hoot.

yea, but if a two-person team got two million it would be great. Those are the five I would like to have as a choice of a previous competitor partner. 8 previous survivors I would like to compete against would be Clay,Sue,Vecepia,Janet,Ryan,Johnny Fairplay and trust me he would be spinning from the hardball I would play on him, I could not stand him. Lil, Lex,Trish. MOst of these were weak or naive or coattail riders. Tina would be another one.

Siberia or somewhere cold................

How about a Survivor Alaska or Yukon where they have to endure artic weather. THey could have a native american theme for the tribal thing, plus there are extreme hazards ---Grizzlies, wolves, freezing weather etc. PLUS ITS IN NORTH AMERICA!

I had heard rumors that they are going to film in Canada soon.

But surely they wouldn't be able to show enough skin in those colder climates...

We all know Amber got invited to A.S.S. strictly to raise the T&A quotient. How will viewers know what a nice bod the next "Amber" has if she is wearing a parka!

There are plenty of bikinis in Canada in the summer months. Besides, the West Coast is very similar to the US northwest coast, almost no snow and lots of rain. The Queen Charlotte Islands or other west coast islands would work. Or maybe Oak Island and the one and only challenge would be to find that treasure!

The idea I'd like to see them do is Survivor: Camino de Santiago. The Camino is a 800k/500mi walk from the French side of the Pyreness to a city in the northwestern Spanish province of Galicia. Every day, the Survivors would have to walk 20 miles and then after that would have to compete in the reward/immunity challenges. Everybody can bring whatever they want in terms of gear but they have to carry it on their backs when walking. Trust me, after 1 or 2 days, they will be down to bare essentials and sleeping right on the ground.

Reward challenges would be for things like very light sleeping bags or camp rolls (remember, reward items would still have to be carried on their backs) and/or food items and/or footcare items

I have walked this route and I know many who had to give up for many reasons: injury/blisters, couldn't handle that much walking every day. There might even be more ostens in such a survivor (even if they are provided with basic food) than in the current format.

The cultural history of this ancient (1000+ year) pilgrimage route gives rise to many ideas for challenges mainly based on medieval themes. The first days walk would be over the Pyrenees over the place where Charlemagne was attacked by the Basques. The final four would participate in the pilgrims mass at Santiago and the final 3 days would take the winner to Finisterre: the End of the World (the furthest west point known to exist until Columbus sailed).

My guesses go as follows:

1.Madagascar- I've been thinking this since after Survivor Amaz.
2.Canadian Islands- Seems very likely since it's highly rumored.
3.Chinese Mountains- Very Remote. Very Different. Very Cultural.

Madagascar is an excellent idea. That is one that I found and read about and I think it would be great. Or Sri Lanka. I know Canada is highly rumored, but my guess is that won't happen. Or they will (Mark Burnett) will be actually looking into a canadian version of Survivor, he is already working on an european version. I think that they let "teaser" type rumors out for the sake pf more publicity for the show. I believe you will see the production of a Canadian form of Survivor, just as there is an Australian form of American Idol. Sex sells too easily in America and I don't see them doing the parka thing on Survivor, for the American viewing audience.

Do you recall in Africa when the lions enchroached the camp and the castaways were scared shitless. They need to put these people in more of harms way. LIke the CONGO where they could get eaten by gorillas or the Rockies where a grizzly could attack a camp. THAT IS SURVIVING THE WILDERNESS. I want to see more danger.

Interesting idea, Aethelstan... One of my best friends did the Camino de Santiago the summer after we graduated college (as part of a summer school option; she got five credits for it since two professors taught classes along the way). That would really push some of these people to their physical and emotional limits in different ways than the current stranded-on-the-beach scenario.

That would be so cool, I am a chippewa indian from Minnesota and know that the AMerican Indian has been underrepresented on the show. They need to go back to the roots.

How about one of the southern islands of Japan?

Just a thought...
