CocoNuts:
I think Season 31 will feature:
~Fiji
One; Fiji has sponsored and Two; Survivor keeps going back because of budget and Three; would give us a promising Oceania leg!
~Taiwan
WAYYYYYYYYY overdue again and has been sponsoring
~Kyrgyzstan
Having been visited in the recent HaMerotz LaMillion season, would make for a good new country leg!
~Finland or Sweden
Both overdue (Sweden in S25 does NOT count in my books) for another visit and have sooooo much to offer!
~United Kingdom
there's always one over used country...
