Behind the Screen: Survivor: Generic Thread (No Spoilers)

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

While we are speaking of Winners at War, I will again curse Probst for ruining that season. The most anticipated season EVER was ruined, here is how it should have played out...

They should've just cast any winner that was willing to do it and made it a mega season with 30+ people...

    TwoStrikes#7026

    We dont need anyone who was on winners at war to return ever again.... Or anyone who has been on more than twice already

    TwoStrikes#7027

    Apparently its Aussie Survivor vs world and its 15 days...

    Yeah heard that, excitement back down to basically zero. Either make it a fulls season with Aus vs US only or don't bother

    timster3#7032

    Y'all hyped up those other awful international seasons, so shouldn't y'all be excited?

    Chicken_breast#7033

    Season 47 comes back in September 18th lol. Idk if it would be worth the watch.

    I saw Inside Survivor's cast spoilers. They just look more like normal people than tryhard nerds.

    Cosmic Castaway#7037

    Bring back Ian, Micronesia Natalie, and all the Asian girls that still look for a yes from production.  But PLEASE NO MORE BOSTON ROB!!!!  I gather even most of all the cast from all decades except Amber and his Winners at War buddies think he should move on.  Francesca w/wo Philip to see once and for all if she is jinxed.  Burton, Shawn, Darrah, and Osten.

    anon12423452355...#7038

    YES BRING BACK DARRAH!

    Ian is a quitter keep him off tv.

    Consider the circumstances.  Ian and Tom set the record of 13 hours in the endurance final immunity and I think even if they continued they had to get some rest in time for the final tribal despite the gentlemen agreement they had of taking each other to the final 2.  But yeah, it would have been better had Ian not quit because no matter if it was him or Tom, Katie didn't have a chance at all.

    Survivor isn't nominated for an Emmy lmao.

    Idk why but the casting director is nominated for an Emmy and he sucks at his job.

    Jeff nominated as best host again.

    anon12423452355...#7042

    Jeff is one of the worst host and Jesse Whatever has ruined CBS shows lol.

    FromTheNorth#7043

    Realistically the emmy voters aren't watching the one episode the show submits and even if they did it would just a random episode in the middle of the season that wouldn't make sense to them. Nominations/wins are probably just based on connections for reality tv

    timster3#7044

    Emmy's always pick a show to treasure for years until it finds a proper replacement and then that show never wins an Emmy ever again. At one point Survivor was an Emmy Darling, then TAR, now Drag Race. The whole thing is unserious and if I won an Emmy for my vevmo posting I wouldn't budge. It feels like the most pointless mainstream award. Talk shows are even worse. The Talk is one of the worst talk shows to ever exist but once they got their first win they won every single year and to see them act fake surprised each time was so zzzz. Y'all know damn well Wendy Williams and even The View would eat The Talk up during their winning years. Now Kelly Clarkson is the daytime Emmy darling even though anyone with two eyes and ears will tell you Drew Barrymore show stomps on that karaoke crap talk show

    Cosmic Castaway#7045

    Well then thank goodness I never was into Lost:

    And of course he doesn't talk to the girls, he too busy trying to hook up with Boston Rob.

    Chicken_breast#7046

    Jay from Survivor One World was on that The Quiz is Balls

    timster3#7047

    He's anti-black so we don't care

    timster3#7048

    So now that big brother has saved itself with a format change what can survivor do to make itself more interesting besides reverting to its old ways? What is a season long twist that will keep you excited to tune into every episode?

    anon12423452355...#7049

    Survivor needs to stop with the 3 tribes and they need to leave Fiji. It is so stale and same every season. It's also got to stop with the self-praise and casting nerds who are just there to impress Jeff with an anology. A new twist I think could be fun is if they start off merge but the challenges are like Free Agents where sometimes they compete in pairs, teams, or individuals but each time the bottom 10 go to camp/tribal while the rest go to a reward.

    timster3#7050

    Y'all won't like it and maybe this is better suited for another reality show but I'm calling it the DEAD vote. The format is the usual. Losing tribe goes to tribal or only the immunity winner is safe. HOWEVER when everyone casts their vote they cast their vote for who they want to cast the DEAD VOTE. The person with the most votes goes back to the podium and their SOLE VOTE decides who goes home that round. It's almost like electing a president for the round to make the decision for you. Idols are still in play both pre and post dead vote. You can idol someone you don't want to win the dead vote so they can't vote you out or you can idol yourself during the dead vote so you can't be voted out. This twist lasts all the way to the finale.  

    Stay mad but this would be such a game changing twist that would have me shook each round. And you already know that when people get power, they suddenly do crazy things. Kass and Trish may have gotten into a fight and want each other out. But when Trish has the dead vote maybe she decided that she wants Woo out instead to pull a number from Tony.

    Wow I'm shaking this sounds so fun. You can't really say anything about it being unfair because everyone gets to vote like the traditional show... it's just not a vote to eliminate. Survivor 49: Dead Man's Island. Skulls are the main design theme and skull themed challenges. Hire me Probst. Wasn't there some link to submit format ideas for reality tv and if your idea is used you can be paid?

    That is interesting Timster!
