Board Thread:New on Survivor Wiki/@comment-11184708-20130624063859/@comment-49.184.19.106-20150301064402

So I was thinking about an idea the other day. The producers of Survivor have mentioned on numerous occasions that they would like to do another season in Australia, but can't because it would be too expensive. I've come up with an idea about how they could do this.

For one season only (unless it works well and they decide to do it again), they partner with an Australian production company (or the Nine Network, which owns the broadcast rights in Australia) who will pick-up part of the tab it would cost to make in Australia. So they turn it into a co-production.

The issue would be "how do we convince an Austrailan company to do a US show?" Simple! I present to you….

SURVIVOR: Home and Away (Although this might need to be changed so the producers don't get in trouble with a particular Aussie soap opera.)

The concept:

Set in Australia, two teams arrive on the first day. The first team made of typical Survivor contestants. Loud, outspoken, strategy minded, you name it, they're there.

The second is a tribe of Australian contestants. That's right, an Australian tribe faces against a US tribe.

The "question" (which the producers seem to like having) this season would ask, "In Survivor, could there be such a thing as a home advantage?"

Here some other ideas.

For one tribal challenge, teams must nominate one player to complete in a challenge with out knowing what the challenge is. Do they select someone who is strong physically and find out it's a mental based challenge? Do they send a someone who has the brains, only to find out it's an endurance challenge?

The Hidden in plain sight Immunity Idol.

What if for one season the torches were the hidden immunity idols? Hear me out, basically everyone doesn't realise that they all, in essence, have immunity. The catch, it can only be used once during the game, so once someone plays it (basically, the first to figure it out) then no one else can do it. Sort of a first come, first served idea. Imagine, the contestants shock when they realise all this time they had all been going to tribal with immunity, quite safe if only they had played it. I guess it's almost like the producers are blindsiding the contestants.

An Easy/Hard challenge

Tribes are given the choice between two options, One is much easier to do, but takes a long time. The other is much more harder, but if done correctly can be done in a much shorter time. What will they choose to do?

Stay tuned, more to come.
