Yes, the risk is probably light, especially in remote locations, but Survivor calls attention to itself and that's the last thing a large group of Westerners would want to do in India at the moment.

Didn't know their population was so... un-dense. Nonetheless, imagine the pain of having to reset their camp every 3 days. A nomadic season would twist up the survival portion of the game, rather than just twisting the political portion as they usually do.

HARPER'S ISLAND is about a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island for a destination wedding. They've come to laugh... to love... and, though they don't know it... to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival. In every episode, someone is killed and every person is a suspect, from the wedding party to the island locals. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive. dident fox do a show like this 7-8 years ago????????

I was surprised that it didn't do better. It was a reality mystery show. Reality contestants were supposed to to figure out the murderer. It seems like a better premise for a reality show then all of these dating show wanna be shows.

I remember the promos for the show and thought it was an interesting concept, but was never able to actually catch it. I do remember that the show got a bit of notoriety when the firefighter who won the whole thing ended up being tragically killed when the buildings collapsed on 9/11.

Would worko on Archipelagos, deserts and highlands.

The nomadic theme would fit certain locations but im not sure how interesting that would be... if youve seen people pick up and leave every 3 days it'd get repetitive and frustrating for both castaways and fans.

Posts: 8453 (12/18/08 8:54 AM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I do think there is a way to do that twist without making it repetitive and cheezy. They could have it so that every three days each tribe has to travel to a new location in order to complete some kind of challenge there, and that could replace rewards. For the beginning half of the show instead of a reward challenge, they would have tribes traveling to the new location and that would create some tension. It's almost reminiscent of the Pirate Master type challenges, but it'd be kind of hard to tell which team got to their new location first. Unless they did it Guatemala style and the losers had to trek to a new location. Either way I think it'd be too much strain on the contestants and too difficult for the crew to have to have a new location scouted and filmed every 3 days.

They move because, for example, they've used up the resources where they are, or there some seasonal reason to visit a particular place. I could see building either of those into the game - when you empty the water barrel near camp, you have to walk further to the next one. Eventually the tribe has to decide whether to move camp, or keep walking further and further for water. Or, Tocantins is right on the cusp of the dry and wet seasons. Maybe one campsite is better when it is hot and dry, but it makes sense to move when it starts pouring. Anyways, I'd like to see more of such decisions for the tribes, not just the initial "How do we build a hut".

Would worko on Archipelagos, deserts and highlands. You do realize the word for "un-dense" is sparse? And there's no way they would move camp. Watching them move camp constantly would get just as boring as watching someone suffer on Exile. Which, you've noticed, they've consistently cut down on. Why would they move the camps around so much and waste time on it?
