"Jiffy chat EP1" |
Anybody catch JP on the early show today?I saw about the last 30 seconds... he kinda slammed on fairplay and then went into his 'he's in love' chat.... but I did find this from AP - CANADA?!?! : NEW YORK - Jeff Probst compares discovering the latest batch of scheming "Survivor" castaways to "waking up on Christmas morning." Hopefully, that means good tidings for viewers who've come to expect deceit and malnourishment on the CBS reality show, which lands at season 10 this Thursday.
"This time around, we have 20 people," host Probst told The Associated Press. "We wanted to change things off the bat. We tried to find a simple little way to throw people off balance."
In past seasons, either 16 or 18 people have outplayed, outwitted and outlasted each other. The increase in population isn't the only unbalancing act. When the contestants first arrive in Palau, the Pacific island nation where this season is set, they won't be given instructions. No tribes. No challenges. No clue on what to do. This isn't the first "Survivor" season premiere twist. Most have involved withholding a necessity: food on "Marquesas," supplies on "Pearl Islands," water on "All-Stars." And sometimes the switcheroos involve the way in which the tribes are chosen: men versus women on "The Amazon" and "Vanuatu" and elders picking kickball-style on "Thailand."
"With the `Palau' group, this was the first group that are truly individuals," said Probst. "In `Marquesas,' there was a group of fun people. In `Thailand,' the group was mean-spirited. This time, everybody is on their own terms."
Probst promises more firsts in challenges, at tribal council and socially throughout this season of "Survivor." Viewers will have to wait — or break into Probst's diary — to see what happens.
"During shooting, I keep a little journal, and I kept going back to it and thinking, `Wow! Another first,'" said Probst.
Here's another possible first: a cold edition of "Survivor" set in Canada.
"One day we were gonna run out of beaches," said Probst. "It would be a lot more bleaker. You're not gonna have any sexy water challenges. I think we'll have to seriously think about it. Creatively, it offers something totally new. Our audience is loyal so I think our audience would stay with us." Viewers will have until a 12th edition of "Survivor" to stick around. CBS has ordered two more seasons following Palau. How very merry.

1. "RE: Jiffy chat EP1" |
No, did not catch it, but I would like to comment on the cold weather Survivor. It would be interesting, exciting and challenging, but at the same time, I don't think it would fly.
Both MB and JP have made comments along the way in regards to a Survivor in the colder climates,specifically British Columbia and Patagonia have been mentioned. At this point, Les Moonves,head of CBS is saying NO. Hopefully, he will continue to do so. I have nothing against it, and if it happened and I got a call for that one and got on, I would be there with sleigh bells on, I don't think that it would work to CBS or SEG's advantage.
Also, there are other places that are not necessarily all about the beach that they could look into and probably do some really cool survivors. Desert locations, the Black Forest in Germany, Auchswitz, Egypt, many jungles, Russia, and other places. The thing about the cold is, no matter how many waivers you have someone sign, you take risks when talking about sub-zero temperatures and views seeing the snow the whole 39 days. And the contestants. Right now, it is Jeff and Burnett that say Moonves says cold weather Survivor is "outlandish."
Hopefully, they will quit overlooking some of the European possibilities. Esp. Crete and maybe Egypt and Spain.

Sure, if they could find a way to do it and honor the survivors of the concentration camps. I know that would be hard both by imagination and for political correctness. But it would almost be something people could not imagine.
There are also some South American countries to be done.
Guyana and Guatemala. Actually Central and South America. The Patagonia region would be great for a colder weather Survivor.

Actually,I was thinking more like escape challenges. Come on, it was just an idea. I think everyone has one that is not so catchy. Ulong had a bad idea tonite. WE are all entitled to a few.

As cool as it would be for Canadians to watch a Canadian surivivor, I'm sure they'll never film a suvivor without bikini clad hotties. Just won't happen.
