Suggestion For Future Twist - Second Jury of Survivor Experts |
Lead | |
|
There have been a few instances where one Survivor wins the jury vote over an opponent who, in the minds of Survivor fans and people covering Survivor for
reality television websites and the media, should have won the game. I came up with a twist that could split the million dollar prize among two members of the
Final 3. The twist is that there are two juries deciding the winner. One jury is the traditional jury of the last 7-9 voted out Survivors. The second jury will
be a nine-member panel consisting of: A) Three people who cover Survivor for the media or a reality television web site (i.e. EW's Dalton Ross, TV
Guide's Shawna Malcolm, RNO's David Bloomberg) B) Three Survivor alumni who know the game (i.e. Todd, Rob C., Brian C.) C) Three Sucksters (any of us)
These nine people would watch the show as they usually do. However, they will travel to the site of the finale and reunion show and be sequestered in a room
where they will watch the final episode up to the jury vote. At that time, they will cast a ballot for which Final 3 member they feel should win. These votes
will be cast and someone from SEG will tally the votes. In the meanwhile, the Survivor who wins the jury vote will win $500,000. After the jury vote is read,
the panel's votes will be brought to the stage. Jeff Probst will read the second set of votes. The Survivor who wins the panel vote will receive $500,000.
In order for one Survivor to receive $1 million, he/she will have to win two sets of votes. If there are two separate winners, they will be called the Sole
Survivors and become co-champions of their season. If something like this was in place from the beginning, Kelly W (Borneo)., Colby (Australia), Neleh
(Marquesas), Boston Rob (ASS), Stephenie (Guatemala), Ozzy (Cook Islands), and Amanda (China) might have won a panel vote and taken home much more than the
second or third place prize.

This is the most idiotic idea I've heard in my entire life.

The reason the jury can only be made up of players who played the game at some point during the game on the same tribe (or at the very least lived together
with the person, a la Erin, although I didn't particularly care for her being on the jury, much like Jenny, Brad & Rebecca in CI) is because
they're in the best position to know how the person played the game, and them being a juror is the great equalizer. Survivor's not that hard if you
simply stab everyone in the back and show off about how great a player you are. There would be no retribution if it was an outside party who voted for the
winner. That's a very, very important part of the game and your idea completely ignores it.
Not to mention the fact that by having people only watch the show and not be there to determine the winner, the editors and producers can really decide whoever they want to win through the editing. They can pull a Becky on anyone they personally don't like and screw that person from winning. In addition, private things like confessionals shouldn't be impacting a jury at all. Just finished watching BB3 for the first time last week and Danielle, who IMHO played a much better game than Lisa, got royally screwed because the entire jury got to watch the whole season and saw her calling Roddy the Devil, and other assorted stuff which cost her the game. You really want the season's best player to be royally screwed like that? And the people you listed didn't deserve to win, which is why they didn't win. You didn't like the fact that they lost? Too bad. |

several people on Sucks who pointed out facts about that players season, and refused to even interview certain players in said season (when the site interviews
everyone in the season) just because it might be detrimental to that players reputation. If that twist ever came up (god forbid) and he was selected as a
panelist (god don't even think about) he'd probably say "None of these people are deserving, I vote for Shi Ann"
