A lot of people have been saying that Africa was the only place where the survivors couldn't catch any wildlife to eat....that isn't true. They couldn't eat anything they caught in the Amazon except fish. Jenna actually said they couldn't even eat anything if they found it dead....it pretty much had to crawl into their fire and die there for them to eat it. |

Dehydration has been an issue for a while....all the way back to at least the first all stars. That was when they first didn't give them fire at
all.....you had to earn it, you couldn't take your tourchs back with you from tribal until you had made fire already. Every one of the survivors faced 1
of 2 options....drink contaminated water or pass out and be rehydrated by the medics.

I think it's all the wild-life reserves. Thailand, Amazon, Africa, Guatemala... |

Just have a look.�� And no, it's not a cold location.� If they filmed in the summer (and aired the episodes in the fall) the temperatures are still plenty
warm enough to be bikini friendly.� There's also plenty of fresh water, small games, fishing, etc, that we wouldn't have a season of starving, listless
contestants.
White water rapids, rich local native cultures, the site of numerous dinosaur related discoveries. Couple of links and tourism videos for those that need convincing.� http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banff_National_Park |

The problem with Canada or Europe is it stops being tough-as-nails locale survivor is known for and turns into some semi-MTV type soft location. Neither has
that 'hard' nor 'exotic' element about them and that is why they never will be done.

....Neither has that 'hard' nor 'exotic' element about them and that is why they never will be done.If you equate exotic to tropical then no Canada is not 'exotic'. But I would put money on the fact that if they dropped survivors off on a deserted island (and there are plenty along BC's coast) that it would be EXTREMELY hard conditions to endure. And we do get warm enough summers that allow for plenty of bikini clad types to show their silicone implants. And the folklore of our first nations like the Haida Gwaii are as exotic as any polynesian culture. |

Canada is America's backyard. It just wouldn't work for a show like Survivor.

Exactly CSC.
Canadian Survivor will go down the exact same way as Amazing Race Family did. Americans just do not want to watch a reality shown known for jetsetting the world actually take place in North America. It is also one of the reasons Australian Survivor (not Survivor Outback, but the Australian verson) didn't work. Australian viewers wanted a Pacific Island or Africa, not some cold windy hill near Adelaide. If one really wants to watch a competitive reality show set in North America, I am sure there will sooner or later be another MTV Real World vs Road Rules challenge set in Park City or the Tetons. |

I'm sick of the imbeciles who think that Canada doesn't have anything that could be defined as summer. Again I say, its not rocket science...film the season during the summer and air in the the fall. Canada's summers are plenty bikini-friendly, whether you're filming on the BC coast or in Banff. Survivor also has a HUGE Canadian fan base. Filming here would probably give them a ratings boost if anything, and I'm sure they'd get plenty of co-operation from local and federal governments and business, which is something that can't be said about some of the Latin American or Africa locations we hear about. Remember, a disqualifier for any filming location for Survivor has always been political stability. At least 2 former locations have fallen victim to coups (Fiji and Thailand) and many of the locations that haven't been used yet are due to the "Banana Republic" quality of those country's governments. |

MediaTakeout (although they aren't always reliable) has spilled that they have an Insider working in Gabon who says Survivor 17 is gearing up to film there
next season.

Well, Gabon is definitely the only spot e have heard rumored so far s I guess it's at the top of the list for potential S17 spots. I'm really
excited about Gabon and it's rain forests.

Gabon would rock. Just imagine the challenges.
Immunity Challenge #1: To win you must avoid contacting Eboli. All jokes aside it would be a rocking location. |

African locations must be considered heavily now that we're running out of locations. Kind of puts a dent in S3s title huh?

Some comments from the black people on MediaTakeout:
"THEY SHOULD FILM SURVIVOR IN THE PROJECTS. THE LAST PERSON ALIVE SHOULD WIN THE MONEY. THAT'S MY PROPOSAL." " Dont watch tha shyt so i can care less." " I dont watch this show at all. They should do a Survior S.E. DC. Id watch that LOL" " iM TiRED OF THiS SHOW....NEXXXT!" "wonderful...i might see the rest of my family from the jungle" " What!? I thought they were filming in Detroit or New Orleans. That would be Surviving!" " NOW THAT WILL BE A REAL SEASON OF SURVIVOR. ILL BE WATCHING" " If you really want to see survival..take that azz to Detroit..." " dee yayo no good crackers lie to you telling you africa is nothing but aids and war and you believe it. your a tom" All I have to say to these comments is 
I actually do believe CBS is right when they say that blacks don't apply for this. And the ones that do are mostly probably the GHETTO type like the ones above. |
