No, you don't know where you are applying to. When I applied, I applied for both Gabon and Tocantins. If I had known what the locations were, I wouldn't have applied to Tocantins. 120 degree heat would be the death of me and I'd end up quitting, which is not how I'd want to be. Whereas Gabon's constant 75-degree temperature with no rain for 39 days would have been awesome.

Do they know where they're going when they apply?

There would be even less applicants than now. Why would anyone want to go somewhere cold when they could be on a nice beach? People will just wait until the next season to apply.

Yukon Survivor in the summer would be perfect. It's hot enough to wear T-shirts during the day but at night it's like 5 degrees Celsius.

Fiji never made me change the channel. At least some of the characters were tolerable. And watching Yau-Man make idiots of the younger #+!%@ was hilarious.

I've lived in a cold and snowy climate for 28 years. I'm an athlete. I hate quitters. I love this show, and want to play very much.

And I don't even think I would be able to stick it out during a "cold weather" season.

Imagine what a group of 20 mactors would do? The show would last for one episode.

I remenber some stuff but not much. The cast wasn't bad but didn't have any weirdos and the first season had like 2, i remenber it was almost a ulonging, making the merge 7 and 3, and a guy got burned at night, but nothing serious, he wasn't evacuated.

As for the cold place as a factor in why it failed, they didn't do much around camp and were very lazy, so it did hurt the ratings. It was a boring season, it finished being aired on saturday mornings.

Did the fact that it failed have to do with just a boring cast? Or do you think it really was just too cold for them to do anything? It doesn't look any particularly colder than Outback did (the Survivors are dressed similarly).

Cold locations would suck that's why.

Cold climates are far more difficult. No food to really forage for, shelter means a lot more than "no rain on me plz kthx," fires and high, chill wind levels don't mix, and hypothermia is a bad bad bad bad thing. No water challenges, for sure.

I would love to see something in, say colder Russia, but there's a reason people in these climates stock up all spring/summer, and hold steadfast in the winter. Or why they hunt real animals for food.

I'd like to see people pulling a Richard Hatch when it's freezing. Why haven't they done a season somewhere really cold?
