Am I the only who noticed that the people in the Australian Outback were wearing jackets practically around the clock? And it was the second most successful season. Besides, if watching Survivor for half naked people is one of your main motives, then you need to discover the wonderful world that is the porn industry. I'll admit that a cold location wouldn't sound very Survivorish, but I think they should do it before the show ends, just because of how different it would feel, yet still the same game. Besides, many survival movies took place in cold climates. And of course by cold I mean boreal, not arctic. A boreal location in the summer would probably ressemble Outback in terms of clothing, so it really wouldn't kill them to try. Last Edited By: WylDawg 02/16/09 2:51 PM. Edited 1 times.

The Outback was a pretty mild climate, and certainly got cold at night. Remember how they wore hooded sweatshirts half the time? I think Alaska or Canada in the summer would be comparable, and would give Survivor a good North American wilderness feel. They could market it as a cold weather location even if it didn't turn out being that cold. ETA: Damn, Wyl beat me to the Outback jacket observation.

Every word would have to be in subtitles cause they'd be all muffled. 3. They'd have to build a igloo and they'd just sit in there. 4. Three words: Frozen drinking water. It's a dumb idea and I won't have it.

It had nothing to do with whether they were wearing sweaters at night or not. 16 seasons later going into a cold location is not going to give them Australia ratings.

Again, I think most of us supporting a cold location mean a colder location. I never said they should drop them in the heart of Antartica. And plat, my point about Australian Outback is that Probst has spent years saying that a cold location will cause viewers to drop drastically because of the lack of skin. By his logic, Survivor should've been cancelled shortly after Australia.

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. A "cold" Survivor would be far more difficult to stage, manage, produce, and ultimately conduct. And temperate climates (aka "colder" ones) aren't exactly exotic location attention grabbers.

Not to mention Kimmies dirty pillows with a dirt ring around them. Last Edited By: JaniTholeMyDolly 02/17/09 10:59 PM. Edited 1 times.

Where was it filmed? Also, to answer the OP, even though one could survive for 39 days in a moderately cold climate if given the right supplies, Jeff has repeatedly said that cold weather simply shuts people down. They wouldn't be as energetic and thus, the show would be dull. In Argentina, in a Patagonian forest. which country are you from?
