I was reading this thread and almost squandered this post on a mere reply. Halfway through composing this I realized that I had in my possesion (much to everyone’s regret) a “thread topic”. To wit:
Well, we can safely rule out one discussed location for the next “Survivor” series:
Mir
That’s right folks, there had been tenative approaches made to the Russian government about using Mir as a location. I can see it all now:
[li] You board the space station’s airlock by crossing hard vacuum in a Speedo™.[/li]
[li] All foods are freeze dried and the only beverage is Tang™.[/li]
[li] You get sent on an extra-vehicular excursion in a leaky space suit with only chewing gum to patch it.[/li]
[li] Getting “voted off” involves an unplanned (and unshielded) atmospheric re-entry.[/li]
[li] The winner’s prize is funded by the beneficiary entitlements from the losing participants.[/li]
[li] Then there’s the Pay-Per-View episodes involving weightless sex.[/li]
All right folks, let’s go for it, combine the Japanese specialty television individual torture challenges with Star Wars and the planet of your choice. Try to come up with the most insane “Survivor” scenario possible. I’ve submitted a d@mn good starter here, so I cast the gauntlet like object upon the surface topography.
