I am sorry, it just does. Watch, if I'm a Celebrity becomes a summer hit for NBC, I guarantee Mark Burnett will at least consider it. Especially with the
major success of Celebrity Apprentice.

'I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!' ratings flounder, but ABC holds out hope
Variety reports that the ratings for ABC's unprecedented every-night showing of I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here! had remained unimpressive through the first four nights of the show, but that ABC was hoping that Saturday's ratings might indicate that the series was picking up some momentum.
This week, with the beginning of the voting to boot "celebrities," will represent the true test of Celebrity's drawing power. Now that sweeps are over, Celebrity may come into its own -- or maybe it already has. Only time will tell. |

Uh, no.
The whole point of reality TV is to show that ordinary people can be just as interesting as so-called "celebrities." |

Yeah cause Celebrity Apprentice is such a major success that it outperforms none of CBS's reality shows.
Celebrity editions should only be considered when the show is absolutely on its last legs (twas a perfect fix for Apprentice, which was d.e.a.d. before then). The Mole was saddled w/ one much too early, and it killed the show completely. There really is no going back to regular folks once you dip into the Celeb pool. In any case Survivor is nowhere near the point where it would even be considered. Shit, Big Brother isn't even close. |

I was going to start this thread = /
But seriously it does. I don't even fucking care if it's the entire Baldwin family with some random Deal or No Deal suitcase carriers thrown in at this point. I'm about to be so so over this show so they need to do something to change it up. |

Survivor has been done to death, I think one or two celebrity editions would make us long for a season with normal people and not bitch and complain as much as
we do. Celeb Survivor<3

The truth is, Survivor is nearing the end of its run, celebrity or no. I say no.

Too bad every foreign country has to jump the gun on the Outcast twist and do it in season one, resulting in an Outcast winning every time. I suggest Moe
Howard for Celebrity Survivor.

Couldn't agree more. Fuck Dicko, worst of the Survivor hosts IMO. Outcast twist ruined the game. Not that it was great as it was but that totally screwed
it. Just saying Australia did it first.
I wish they could do an International All Stars version so Mze (SA Survivor) could have another day to shine. He was like a smarter Bobby John or a less ugly JT. -SJ™ |

lol @ Dicko. I didn't even know there was Australian Survivor but I can't imagine it would be even 1% good. Anyway, Survivor: Celebrity would be
jumping the shark and that would make me sad. So I vote no.

There was Survivor Australia, which was horrible, predictable but at least real. The Australian All Stars version was lame, especially since they filmed on the
exact same location as a past season of the US show (Palau I think?)
Jumping the shark is what Survivor has become. Witness Bob winning and the casting of Coach. -SJ™ |

The celebrities would just bitch and moan and expect a huge comp everyday.
Come on, if you watch Celebrity Apprentice (I don't watch it, but I read news about it) Joan Rivers quit the show just coz her daughter was fired. Can you imagine what would happened in the middle of jungle? I mean All-Stars clearly didn't work the first time considering the amount of people quitting (because the acted like they're diva), what makes you think Survivor Celebrity would make it? |

^^ Exactly.
Even Brendan grates on my nerves. The way he grins all the time proves to me he obviously never cared about winning, he's already a millionaire. He just wanted to be on TV. 
OTOH, I don't mind starving mactors per se, because 1) they usually need the money and 2) even if they just want to be on TV, it's because they are desperate.
