Top 10 survivor themes they should do!

[@terikson5015]

Survivor One World 2: One Beach, no tribes, each challenge you draw rocks to pick teams for challenge and you go to tribal with those people when you lose. So each week you’ll have new groups going to tribal so your social game with all 18-20 castaways would be of the utmost important.

Survivor: missed opportunities Tribe of First Boots Vs Tribe of Day 38ers Vs Tribe of Medevacs

[@elijahculper5522]

You might have to open the first boot window a little bit to get enough for a cast. But I like the idea. It sounds like the only possible theme that would give Courtney Moon the chance to actually play the game after her unfortunate medevac during the first challenge.

[@cobaltx114]

Well see here's my problem with this. So many of the first boots were either the worst players in the game's history, like Zane or even Ben Browning, if it's not literally just last place, or the oldest players in the cast, making it full of unlikeable and unathletic players. They'd lose every challenge, decimating their tribe. On top of that, the medevacs might not play as hard during challenges. I know that if I, say, broke my leg on a beam, I would be much more likely to be more wary around all the beams. They would be at an obvious disadvantage as well, given that some of the medevacs were also very old, like Borassi from WA. Then, you have these people put up against some of the best players to ever play the game? Imagine a tribe full of Bens, BB's, Chickens, and Wendy Jo's, a team of Borassis, Joes, Coltons, and Courtneys (even though Caleb would be pretty good), put up against a team full of legendary players like Boston Rob. It just wouldn't be fair, the boots and evacs would be decimated early, and even if they made it to the end, they wouldn't have much going for them.

I was thinking of a whole season of people who’ve never watched the show, or who watched the classic seasons in the early 00s but only dimly remember them, and didn’t realize the show’s still on. These days you get too many super fans. I dare say the reason there have been so many all star tribes lately is just to give us a break from the tedium of it all. Each season all but a few contestants have the playbook memorized, and those who don’t go out early. Whenever they encounter a situation that’s come up before, they remember what the first person to navigate it successfully did and don’t even consider trying anything else. If it weren’t for the ever more zany Twists!, the show would have all the drama and intrigue of a game between two chess computers. Bring in people who don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of every little thing that’s ever happened and you’ll see innovation return to the show.

As others mentioned; one tribe individual play, from the beginning. My other idea; this would be for two tribe play.

As in any survival event; many items have multi-purpose. Hide some important item's in 'luggage/etc". Both tribes get the same items...the containers are identical. Have three or four items that can be built/configured into something "Important". Have several items that can be utilized in different ways...you get the picture. One of the "Challenges" would be having a Military Ranger or other survival expert come and evaluate and score each tribe's utilization of the container and items on say, Day 10 or so.

Being that I am from Canada I have always thought that Canada would make a great place to host a season of Survivor...whether it is American or a new Canadian survivor. Your suggestions for a "cold season" would work here and you wouldn't really need it to be like in the snow and ice and all that. Summertime here isn't like it is in the tropics, but glacial lakes and ocean currents would highlight a really unique atmosphere to host the game in while still being warm enough for cast members to be able to wear bathing suits through certain times of the summer. Furthermore, the rich Native American heritage that Canada has would be great for the construction of tribal council, idols, tribe names, and so on and so forth. I think that would be a really unique and interesting idea that they could bring to the table to not only show a great new season of Survivor but also to pay respect to the Canadians who love the show so much and have made it the most viewed reality tv show in Canada for 2 decades.

Great channel Russel. Keep up the great work. Love old survivor and my first season was Samoa- loved it because of you. Favorite season- heroes vs villains- loved it because of you.

[@JayVaters]

Survivor Canada vs USA, but play it in Canada, up in the mountains. Same rules, same host, but different location.

[@alyssaulin2756]

Survivor: Back for Blood Former players vs the people they screwed over the most (biggest blind sides or worst betrayals). I think that would make for an interesting season, not to mention the dynamics between players would be amazing!

[@jacobweaver4193]

Do a family season with all twins! As a twin I would love it and definitely play!

[@jamesbeacham621]

I love the idea of the school yard pick. What do you think it would be called?

[@johncornelius4513]

I’m gonna buy a shirt this weekend!

[@heisenberg3556]

I could see them doing an all stars type season where they grab buffs at beginning but only two people have buffs and they become “captains” to have a school yard pick like number 5.

Survivor: Sub Zero

[@corrytincher8280]

Russell, you're my favorite player. I'm glad you're making videos, please keep it up. I always thought it would be neat if players lived in different tribes than the tribes they competed in challenges with

Survivor: Secret Alliances - People apply to be on this season in pairs, family members, friends, couples etc, but the players don't know who anyone else's secret alliance partner is. This will create an extra level of mistrust, deception and gameplay. Players pick tribal buffs at random to keep some pairs together, and some separate. Or there could be a school yard pick so that some players could choose their partner to be on the same tribe as them if they wanted.

[@famousamoso7]

I think they would figure it out quickly.

[@okok-no8dr]

They need to do a city vs country

[@Jacois]

lol, for sure, great idea! The country folk would wreck 'em.

[@harrysmith2431]

Russell, first, i want to say that YOU have been one of the MOST INTERESTING players Survivor has ever had. Now, that out of the way, you presented a few Survivor themes i really like: 6. First Out 5. Schoolyard Pick (A truly genial idea) 4.Survivor Nations (USA, Australia and 1 more nation. 3 teams, 6 members each. At least one from each team will have a member on the Jury, to guarantee that a nation won't win simply because it has 5 out of the 9 members of the Jury.) 3. Survivor - Heroes vs, Villains Deja Vu 2. Survivors - Legends 1. SURVIVOR - BACK TO BASICS

[@johncornelius4513]

Number 1 would be awesome and very exciting to watch! Would love your thoughts on a Runner up season? All the best runner ups that didn’t win.. but played a great game... I’ve seen many seasons where the runner up should’ve won.. *cough cough* but I think it would make a great season! Got You,Audrey,Rick Devons,Malcom, Ti,Coach,Fishback.. a lot more.. and I honestly think CBS would love this idea!

[@adambadinger4468]

Devons got 4th on his season. But I would love the idea of bringing back people who were the last vote off because they were such a huge threat to win

[@christophercaruso448]

John Cornelius definitely want to see RICK DEVONS play again.

[@johncornelius4513]

Christopher Caruso yes! Just a super awesome guy and very entertaining to watch! Played a hell of a game!

I got 3 dream seasons I would love to see played out. First: Survivor: Idoled Vs Titled Vs Tribaled 18 Players - 3 Tribes Of 6 Players Idoled : Players that were voted out because of the use of an idol, or holding an idol. Titled : Players that never won either to jury votes or getting voted out but are considered legends or best to ever play. Tribaled : Players who were screwed from a random tribe swap or tribal ceremony rock draw or fire making challenge. This would be a redemption type season to really see how much luck is involved with Survivor given that due to situations outside of practically all players were out of their hands. Second: Survivor: Double Agents 20 Players - 2 Tribes Of 10 Players 2 tribes start the game as normal, but starting with reward challenges, the men or women on each tribe will swap sides (depending on order). For example, Tribe A and Tribe B swap men at the challenge. Whoever wins (under the tribe who won for example Tribe A) gets to swap out 2 men from the other tribe to their tribe, sending 2 of their actual tribe members that were sent to the losing tribe to play the reward challenge who lost the reward over to them (ex. Tribe A sends their males to Tribe B and vice versa; Tribe A wins, they get back their Tribe A members they want and pick 2 from Tribe B; whatever is left goes to Tribe B). Then once immunity comes around, the men and women will play for immunity (Tribe A vs Tribe B). Let’s say Tribe A’s males win immunity and Tribe B’s females win immunity. That means Tribe A’s females and Tribe B’s males will go to tribal and vote out someone. Then when it’s done, they stay like that until next reward challenge giving them time to talk with people and form strategy. Once the next reward challenge comes, the tribes revert back to what they were pre last immunity challenge and this time instead of swapping males, swap females. And repeat. Reason for doing this is that it completely exposes agency in the game for players making them have to play a solo game because alliances are designed in this twist to be frail and not consistent considering you’re getting to have to swap so early on. After about 4 vote outs do another shuffle by your normal swap or something to reset the twist. But by that point, everyone would have at least gotten to play with other people from an opposing tribe. The gameplay I imagine with this would be people throwing comps to deliberately vote out big targets or maybe snakes in the grass type of players. Third: Survivor: No Limitations 20 Players - 4 Tribes Of 5 Players Similar to One World, the tribes would live on a beach together. The twist is, 2 at a time. Meaning Tribe A and C for example share a beach. And Tribe B and D share a beach. The no limitations idea is that since you live on the same beach, you go into reward challenges together. Immunity’s however will be played like Tribe A vs C and Tribe B vs D. So the tribes work for rewards together but play against each other for the immunities. The losing tribes at the immunity challenge have to decide one person from their tribes to keep safe at camp. The rest go to tribal and vote out 1 person. I’d find it super interesting if Tribes were split into 4 tribes and they had to live two to a beach. I would want to see if they would pull together or count on throwing comps to target other tribes. Like if tribe C lives on tribe a’s beach but they wanted someone out on tribe D, they have to make sure they lose and tribe d loses to go to tribal to vote out their target.

10: Honey, they'd vote you out on the spot. I'm sorry, but it has to be said. You know what Zapatera did. 9: YES. Finally someone said it, Christ. Not that I can't keep up with how Survivor is now, but it would be very interesting to see them all adapt again to having JUST a machete and no idols. 8: Meh. 7: Agree, but the common argument against putting them in Nunavut (north-most Territory of Canada, in case you Yanks don't know) is that they'd f*cking die. And see? We agree on the death thing. I THINK that extreme cold is more dangerous than extreme heat, though. 6: Oooooooooooh, yes, I've thought of this too. And if they did, they'd better bring back Fransesqua. XD Seriously Phil, it's not that hard. My uncle's name is Francesco and it's NOT that hard. 5: If it's going to be an Alpha/Omega thing, it should be he first winner and the most recent winner.Who would your ideal team comprise, though? Also, that isn't necessarily Biblical, just Greek. 4: Meh? No offense. 3: But who would play on it? Returnees or newbs? 2: Which is what I thought Season 40 was going to be. They'd better do that again. 1: Exactly, and you talk about it all the time, which I appreciate. I think this would be my #1 pick as well.
