There is plenty of coastline and rivers in Africa. Some lakes too. I think a mainland season in Africa would be a good idea. Plus, it would be close to Madagascar, so they could do that for the fall season.

They're not going to be located in the cities. It's still a big country, I'm sure they could find a national park somewhere to take over for a few months (ala Guatemala etc).

My daughter backpacked around there for two months a couple of years ago. There are beautiful beaches, nice water, resorts (often owned by Germans). It's close to Spain so Europeans go there on vacation. The local people dress in traditional clothes. There are good wildlife parks, plenty of culture. I was surprised to hear that a friend of mine is stopping in two West African ports on a cruise she's taking this spring. So, it has the right combo of culture and color and infrastructure. Just a thought.

I know Egypt's already been said, but I'm just restating it in the Africa discussion.

India is always the most complicated and crowded place and not to mention, IF they did go to India, what would the rewards be? Other than going to the Taj Mah Hal (SP) Yes I do watch TAR and yes, I have been to India. Obviously you guys have not been to Jaipur. The Taj being in the middle of town is a gross overstatement. The town it is located in, Agra, is a tourist hub and the government keeps a strict control over the population of people and cars there to prevent corrosion of the Taj Mahal due to carbon monoxide (which is bad for marble). The Taj is surrounded by a huge forest acting as a green buffer zone. Yes, while the Taj may be crowded, it would serve as a good reward and its not like Survivor hasn't filmed in places which are crowded before. On diseases, I'm surprised that I haven't seen any mentioned for China which has had a few food-related scandals itself. Paus (the white bread with stuffing) have been filmed to be made with cardboard and the latest food scare was dumplings causing poisoning when exported to Japan leaving a 5 year old girl in critical condition. During the time I spent in India, I didn't fall ill at all. If the production crew obtains mineral water for themselves and ousted contestants, water should not be a problem. They have their own kitchen so food hygiene should not be an issue. As for the castaways, whenever they're out there, they're drinking whatever water they boil which should not be any different from any other season.

Just a thought. This sounds great!! and is exactly what I'm talking about. Africa would be the best location to go. Just out of curiosity, Wezzie, what part of West Africa are you talking about? What countries?

She also spent a month or so in Morocco on another adventure. Her friend was in the Peace Corps in Togo, which is also in West Africa. I'm not sure of the political climate right now. A couple of years back, there was rioting in The Ivory Coast. I'm just speculating, as I said.

I am sorry but I fear that if they ever do a season in Africa, the feel of that season would be all dry and non-jungleish! I really liked China in that it had a monsoon feeling to it! It rained constantly.... The thing about Madagascar is that it will really look like a typical Pacific Island location to me- but a drier version... Which brings me back to India. I really hope they get a chance to go there. I have been, and believe me, people experience a culture shock like one never before when visiting for the first time... As a comment on what somebody said earlier about how it would be easy to shoot a reward at the Taj Mahal... believe me when I say it will be very, very difficult. I assume they would want to shoot in the day time and that is when the place is packed with people. But there are other places the survivors can go to for rewards. I hope India is the next location... CBS/SEG has to keep spicing Survivor up... part of the initial appeal of Survivor: China was the location... I think viewers would be curious about India b/c apart from the fact that people might have heard of the country, only a very few might have actually been there.

I went there at the end of August. It wasn't that packed really. That's what it was like towards the end of August. The lawn and pathways in the gardens are mostly free. You can see that the people around the Taj structure itself are just in front of the entrance to the interior. Besides, I'm not entirely sure that the government would let SEG film inside of the structure itself. The outside maybe, the inside might get a little tricky. If you're talking about filming on the inside of the Taj, then that's different. The inside can be packed as I remember, and we were not allowed to photograph inside there.

It's the epitome of the exotic, wild and primal and it's a shame they've only gone once in 16 seasons. Severely underrepresented. Anywhere would be awesome, there are so many different environments to choose from. I wouldn't even mind seeing the savannah again, except maybe this time in a lusher area, like South Africa.

Um, I don't know much about New Zealand, but I think it's significantly different (visually) from Fiji. And cold! conorUNH wrote: weren't the Cook Islands in New Zealand?? I think the Cook Islands are owned by New Zealand, but not really that close by. yeah but not significantly different culturally. Like how Marquesas, Vanuatu, Cook Islands and Fiji are practically the same culture on different islands. One of the great things about S15 is that all of a sudden the 'theme' of the season is Chinese culture, the way it was back in the old days when the outback or africa was the unifying aesthetic theme of the season back when it's not just another island somewhere in the south pacific. Hmmm so small pacific islands are all the same and have no culture? Do you define all the many cultures in the south pacific as being pretty white beaches with pretty blue lagoons? I'm an NZer and would love to see Survivor New Zealand- I think it'd be a cross between Survivor Australia (colonial theme),Cook Islands (polynesian culture) and Guatemala (forest dwelling less the temples?). Btw cook islands are a protectorate of NZ but is 4 hrs distance by plane. To do survivor NZ they'd have to do it in the summer as I think it'd be too cold in winter and I think MB said in past that NZ as too cold a locale. Also I wonder if there were an isolated enough location here. I'd also like to see madagascar or egypt! India would seem too contrived. NZ cheap ass tv isn't screening the new fans vs favs. series live. Where can I get hold of episodes of this upcoming series as it screens?

Posts: 11360 (02/02/08 9:27 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	A return to Africa would be fantastic. I always hated the fact that S3 was called Survivor: Africa just because it sort of closed the possibility of a return to the continent but A) they obviously don't have a problem with return locations and B) they probably weren't counting on having more than six or eight seasons to find locations for, so I guess it wasn't a concern. I just hope they get a strong cast for it; maybe it's just me but they use islands so much that a lame cast on an island season doesn't seem as disappointing as if a great location is wasted on a crappy cast. And wishful thinking that they release Africa on DVD to coincide with it.

Lord knows Nigeria is the asshole of the world when it comes to crime, and now in other parts they are having tribal warfare where entire villages are being burned down.
