Here's a thought...

Rob:
Rupert would have won it all, no doubt. But isn't American Idol kinda like a popularity contest? Big Brother 1 (here in the states) was a popularity contest, and that is why I think the format was majorly revamped!

This would be true and a popularity contest isn't what Survivor is all about.  Although, popularity aside, I think Rupert is a Survivor...that's the problem w/him, he's too much of a threat.  Of course, that's my opinion because I am a bit biased concerning Rupert.  Come on, when he looked over at the other team's raft and took their shoes stating that they're pirates and pirates pillage, plunder and steal...he had me.

Thanks for showing me what was wrong with my theories.  Like I said I never watched Big Brother and other than Survivor, the only other reality TV show I got into was American Idol 2

Hurt'n for Burton:
I agree with everyone that public voting would be a bad idea. We only see what the directors want us to see. They probably edit out so much stuff that is pertinent to game play, but not entertaing to watch on TV, that we would end up voting someone off who really deserved to be there while letting someone stay just because we like the way they look or talk or whatever!
I do like the idea of maybe 1 immunity challenge being a viewer vote off just to mix it up a bit.
Expect the unexpected!!!  :o

Rob:
Well, as you know, we have so very many CBS execs that look at this message board, (HA HA HA HA) LMAO, maybe their will be a twist like that....That sounds so dumb, I cannot believe I am even posting this. LOL

yea, editing would be a nightmare, with all the cameras rolling, and all the little things to consider. I am sure they watch the whole 39 days before making the first episode, to see what things to highlight (for example, Jerri's bitchiness). i think that Survivor 1 started airing while they were still on the island, I think that one reward that Kelly won was to go to a bar and watch the first episode. Maybe somethin glike Idol, have all the votes done by tribal council, but maybe let America decide teh million dollar winner. Like have the live show as always, and instead of haveing the 3rd person decide who comes, just let America decide who out of the 3 will win. Give them a 1 hour show, let them state their cases, and do the reunion show while people vote via 1-800 number (or 1 900) and then announce the winner at the end of teh show. I think that the anticipation would make for very interesting tv, and it would ensure people watch the reunion show, therefore enabling CBS to gain more advertising dollars for that show. Oh, and if anyone from CBS is reading this, I am currently unemployed, and full of great ideas for Survivor!
