A question for all Survivor Fans

[Jeafl]

I heard that the new Survivor that starts next week will have a male tribe and a female tribe. Do you think this might be because of the whole Ted and Ghandia incident last season? I was just thinking that maybe the producers wanted to avoid something like that happening again (of course they will all merge together at some point, so it may not matter). In any case, it will be interesting to see how everything develops.

I hope not. I think they are just trying to keep things unpredictable. It should be interesting though.

Just my 2 cents,

I also don't think they're separating them because of what happened with Ted and Ghandia. I think they're just trying to spice things up.

I don't know why they are trying this, but it should lead to some very interesting dynamics. I had my Saturn into the dealership for my 90,000 mile wallet lightening and, while there, I picked up one of the Survivor Amazon preview DVDs. I asked if I could have one and the salesman told me to take FIVE. I guess he doesn't think that many people are going to drop by the car dealership just to get a Survivor DVD. The program on the DVD is about 30 minutes long and includes interviews and a few of the audition tapes. I just had to have that DVD.

I agree that this will spice things up a bit. I know I would personally do better in the men's group just because I tend to have more guy friends. My early prediction is that the girl that is deaf will do really well. I just hope that they come up with some different challenges this year. I can't wait for it to start!!

I just think they are shaking things up again. That's why I think this show has continued to be popular. Just when you think you know "the rules" things change.

As much as I like Survivor, its been getting so boring! They need to do something different. I think that the next season after this (I'm assuming there will be one) should be in somewhere like Alaska, so that they have to battle different climates. That would make it different for a change.

I've said the same thing to my husband but we both agree that they won't do that because there wouldn't be any girls falling out of their tiny bikinis!

You're so hilarious!

I don't think it has anything to do with the Ted/ Ghandia thing, for the simple reason that I think that the producers will do anything for ratings. They choose contestants knowing that they will cause confrontations because it means higher ratings. I think they choose certain contestants because they also will look good in those bikinis!

Let's face it folks....sex sells. We may not like it, but it seems to be a fact of life nowdays. I know that I will continue to be a Survivor addict. Can't wait till next thursday!

Tc-I want to see that DVD!

I watch Road Rules/Real World Challenge on MTV and this season is battle of the sexes. It's been very interesting. The girls won the first two challenges and the boys were pretty surprised.

I think it will be good. Jeff Probst said in an interview that the women who had hoped to make it on their looks, had to rethink their strategies.

7 days and counting

That's more true than you might think. I read an interview with Jeff Probst where he all but said that we will never see Survivor set in a cold climate due to the "sex sells" factor. But then again...we've been caught off guard before by this show
