Title: Twists and/or things you want to see happen this season
Post by: nelehrox on July 28, 2004, 07:11:44 PM
For this season's twists, I would like to see nothing fancy. Just a simple switch during episode 4 or 5 would be fine for me! No fancy Outcast or fake-merge deals, I dont like those. Two tribes, regular Reward and Immunity Challenges, one switch, a merger, and a seven member Jury. I dont like the giving away Reward and Immunity thing either. I would like it to be like seasons 3 and 4...they had the perfect twists and turns for me. I guess I just like it simple?

i like it normal too, but i do like the switch thing, sometimes it gives the people i like a chance when their own team isn't really giving them a chance.

I think it would be interesting if the merge didn't happen until waaay late into the game or not
at all. Just something to shake things up a little, doesn't have to be something huge.
Aslo a huge battle between contestants is always welcome.

Know something i would like to see?  i would love for them to bring in a family member or friend of each person.  That person would have to stay three whole days, do the challenges with them and everything. Then when the team that looses immunity goes to tribal council i want the persons that came in to vote instead of the players.  That might shake things up a bit... Maybe the ones coming in would vote the way we would vote instead of the ones that have had to be with the people the whole time...  i think that would be good about the middle of the show...

WHOO!
Thats an awsome idea T. I think that would shake things up alot.
Have all the family/friends vote at TC rather then the survivors. :)()
The would have to vote based on only 3 days on the island.
Great idea :)_|

I would like to see more drinking on Survivor... I think it it so funny to watch people who do not have food drink and get pretty lowed... on National TV. I would like to see that be a few of their rewards...  *()*

Yeah- well, in a normal life drinking is necessary sometimes...  *()*  :\/

u know wat the best twist wpuld be? If there were 3 tribes of 6 and the merger case really early, but one of tribes had to pick one other tribe to merge with, that wpuld mean one big tribe and one small one. Then the big tribe would have to deal with complications and fights and choices on who to sit out for challenges while the smaller tribe had very few problems

That might be pretty cool.

Twist:

Team that wins the IC gets to send two members to live with losing team through Tribal Council AND gets to participte in voting.

Think about it ... .  Tribal interaction has taken place in the past.  There are advantages and disadvantages to going to the other side pre-merge.  This twist would intensify that.

Great ideas everyone  *()* it will be interesting to if any of them play out   ^:)^

Hey Car84..nice to see you again  :)_{}

THAT would be an awesome twist, they might could talk some of the people that think they will be voted out into voting out the strong members on their team instead.  That could be awesome...

I love your idea, t!  Whoa...that would sure stir things up real good!  You should send in your idea to CBS or Probst?  Not sure who...but it's worth trying to find out and submit your suggestion!! ^:)^

I would h8 that too! |:( I have never liked, and won't ever like it when the rewards include booze.  It's stupid & disgusting...especially when they haven't eaten much prior to drinking.  It isn't necessary to have booze & it certainly doesn't go along w/ a real survivor situation unless it's used for medicinal purposes.  I want to see more REAL SURVIVAL STUFF...like doing WITHOUT to see what a real survival scenario is like.  The REAL reality!!  Have not agreed w/ how the challenge winners are lavished with fancy foods & the like. But I know...for the sake of TV ratings...cbs thinks they must do the UN natural things to please their viewers. 

Actually, I think the majority of viewers would rather NOT have the dang booze & fancy meals!  :(*8

Thank You Rudy, i thought maybe i was just a prude.  i agree i do not like all the lavish meals and i definately do not like the alcohol.  It makes them look so stupid.   i too would like it to be more real.  i think one or two rewards with food would be fine but it has gotten to be just about every reward involves food.  i do not think they appreciate it any more the way they used to when they won food.

Post by: WENDY on August 03, 2004, 07:03:44 PM
You know... this is just my opinion of course...  :)() But, why not lavish meals and beer if they earn it?? There are so many other reality tv shows where people live in a beautiful mansion, waited on hand and foot, and have a chance to win a million dollars just by falling in love, and people on Survivor can't have one stinking can of beer? I think that would be wrong... That is just what i think though....  ^:)^

I would like to see the immunity winning team pick who gets voted out at Tribal Council of the opposing team.  This would make deal making much harder.  ^:)^

I drank it, but it didn't get me all better as I recall!!  :(*8 :(*8

Just for the record i was not saying a little cunsumption of alcohol was bad.  Some people do enjoy it.  i was just saying it would not be available in a real survivor situation and i liked the show the seasons that they didnt have so much alcohol and extra food better.  Just seemed like it was more of a challenge for them... AND i think they enjoyed it allot more when it was not readily available.

I personally think that if it was won as a reward and they got to drink it
on a ship off island but couldn't bring it back it would be fine. Its just a
game and no it wouldn't be there in a real suvivor situation but then
again alot of other aspects of the show wouldn't be there either. Who
wants to watch 16 cannibals fight it out on an island anyway?  ;D
These small things just make the game more interesting. I don't say
this because I like to over drink myself stupid when in fact i've never
had an alcoholic beverage in my life. Its just a game and these are just
opinions. lets just look forward to a good season and many more to come.

Off-topic, I prefer to keep Absolut in the pantry for when I need a shot (or 10) of medicine. And, yes, sometimes it IS medicine....like when you are about to have a mental breakdown and need to just cut completely loose and be goofy.


On-topic, I agree that alcohol and food rewards are becoming too common on the show. Plus, from what I understand, all that rich food and alcohol makes them sick after they eat, which hurts their games. Who wants to run a mile when you've HAD the runs all day from a grease-burger and lard-fries? Plus, it helps to dehydrate them when they are sick, and hurts them the most in the long run in this way. OK, I've talked enough....someone else's turn!!!!

Twist:

Loser Lodge becomes site of Survivor 9 - Loser Bracket.  After they reach 4 members, one must be voted off by the other 3 - except when the 4th person is the 5th place finisher from the regular game.

At four-to-four, both tribes are combined.  If this would have been done in previous series, imagine the clashes!  It could totally complicate the jury.

In some ways, this would be better than the Outlaws switch.  In some ways, it would be worse.  But it could make for interesting television.

Wow i think that could get complicated.  i will have to think about that one some more....
