I know that you are constantly scanning this board for terrible ideas to implement in future seasons, or at the very least eorlins does and passes them along
to you (more on that ~later~). Assuming you don't follow my first suggestion and cancel Survivor after next season, I have a plan B.
Survivor Micronesia: Fans vs. Favos, is generally* beloved by fans. That really has nothing to do with the format but let's assume it does. There is a certain segment of the viewing audience (we'll call them the slower half) who are always bitching and moaning about the lost "purity" and bloated casts etc. of Survivor. They make up like...half this board? So like 0.000000000000...0% of the total viewing audience. The other 100% are aware that the show HAS no purity, and also really really want Amy O'Hara** to be on All-Stars, which is never going to happen. OR WILL IT? No. Unless!
Therefore, starting with season 21 (ugh), why not take advantage of the 2 seasons per year format for a change? Every autumn, have an old school, 16 strangers, minimum bullshit twists (the idol has ANOTHER SMALLER IDOL inside of it!!), season. Then in the spring, do a fans vs. favos season. 20 contestants, idols falling from the sky, heptupal boots, and the like. The contestant pool is certainly big enough to bring back 10 people a year (especially with 1.5 NEW casts each year too), and this way some more obscure cast members could actually fulfill our dreams and return since you wouldn't necessarily have to put Rupert and Stephenie on EVERY time. And people could finally stop bitching about a 2nd Chance season.
Tears?
Oh, yeah, and:
I'm sure that as the one who came up with this idea (*wink*) and presented it to whoever is running Burnett's animated corpse these days, Eliza, you would be guaranteed a spot on EVERY half-ASS season. Yw!
