Stick them on a helicopter and fly them up to Northern Alberta/NWT for a month, starting in Novemeber. Temperatures could easily range from +5C to -40. Make 'em kill Moose and deer to survive and actually risk dying from exposure. There’d even be the odd top predator for them to be worried about it.
Hell, I’d even watch it then.
Then do everyone a favor and cancel it.
I’m so terribly, terribly sorry that the only television channel you receive is CBS, and that you are forced to watch it at 8 ET/7 CT every Thursday night.
:rolleyes:
Good idea. Bernse. Canada? Let’s let 'em just try to survive!
I know they’ve considered Alaska, but something north of the Shield would probably be more “exotic” to American audiences.
A couple of series back, they had intended to film in the deserts of Jordan, but after 9-11 decided that it probably wasn’t such a great idea.
I’m looking forward to SURVIVOR: SOUTH CENTRAL L.A.
I doubt they’ll ever have it set in a cold location. Existing in cold weather actually requires some survivor skills, the risks of hypothermia and frostbite are too great for your typical Survivor cast.
Two words:
Survivor: Antarctica
Cold weather also requires clothing.
Never Happen!
You wouldn’t have to do it in winter. There is summer in the Arctic, with above zero C temperatures and everything.
Oh, I’m so terribly, terribly sorry Minty. I had no idea the Survivor fan was a regular on this board. If I would have known that, I would never have said anything that would risk offending them and resort the bringing out the 'ol ever-powerful rolly-eyes.
Sincerest apologies.
Really.
" I had no idea the Survivor fan was a regular on this board"
Heh. Heh. Good one.
What’s next for you, bernse? Gonna open a thread about how you wish they’d cancel Enterprise, or that they really ought to stop publishing those darn Harry Potter books?
By all means, do share.
Nah. Those are both “quality” entertainment.
Touched a raw nerve, did I?
Rest assured, Minty. I doubt the CBS execs are watching this thread and going “Man! That bernse dude from the SDMB says we should cancel survivor. We’d better get on it!”
When survivor finally gets cancelled, it’ll be by its own merits. But, in the meantime, do kick back and watch it! Its a free country!
Hey, don’t you pay attention! This is Canada we’re talking about! Where all American programming gets bought and aired in simulcast on Canadian channels-- so we’ve got Survivor on TWO channels at the same time.
But we never had those pesky American ads if it’s in simulcast.
