First off, I don't watch Survivor. Something about watching people each week whining about why someone wants to kick them off just doesn't work.

Be as that may, I think the the producers should throw a huge monkey wrench into the contestants preconceived notion/game plan. The contestants would board a plane with the window shades locked shut. After a long flight, they get off the plane wearing their summer clothes in Nome or YellowKnife during the middle of winter. That alone would completely change the game, and I might even watch it, and just hit the mute when the whining started.

    I've also never seen Survivor, but I LOVE this idea.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I've often thought, they should have it up here during -40 windchill.....but then you wouldn't have men and women running around half naked, which is I'm sure one of the reasons for the hot destinations

    I like the idea of Camden, NJ better.

    If they want it hot...fine. Drop them in Mali. I might actually watch if they dropped them is some desolate, forsaken, place where the goal was actually to survive not that crap that has been on now for what 10 years.

    Was there another writer's strike about 10 years ago? I forget now what happened to spawn all this junk TV like survivor, american idol, dancing with the stars, etc. I remember there was something about needing shows that did not require a well written script, which brought us the junk we have now.

    I think it was more a function of the popularity of shows like the Real World in the 90's, followed by Idol and Survivor being to the two biggest juggernauts on TV when they started up in the early 2000's. They're cheaper to make than scripted shows and draw in bigger audiences, I don't know that it was more than that.

    I've ridden my motorcycle through that town at night a few times (usually by accident, just riding around and end up there), it's terrifying.
