Survivoris known for its epic twists.
Sometimes it comes in the form of a new advantage or wrinkle in the game.
But what about the people who actually have played the game?
Robert Voets/CBS
Heres what they came up with.
YUL KWON
How about three ideas?
I’m surprised they haven’t tried that again.
Robert Voets/CBS
It completely changed the dynamics of the game.
There is a lot of interesting stuff that could happen if you give people that choice.
I actually would love to see that.
Robert Voets/CBS
Another twist that I think would be interesting: Season 38 was very controversial.
I don’t begrudge him that.
I think he did the best he possibly could have given the cards he was dealt with.
Robert Voets/CBS
But you miss the whole social element of what happened on Extinction Island.
So, again, it’s kind of a variation of the brains, beauty, and brawn thing.
WENDELL HOLLAND
Survivor: All Winners.
Robert Voets/CBS
Meaning, all winners ofSurvivor.
Not just 20 of them.
Every single winner will be out here.
Robert Voets/CBS
Lets see who wins.
Just a raw game, just like Richard Hatch.
I just want to see how that would pan out, man.
Sandra Diaz-Twine on ‘Survivor: Winners at War’.Robert Voets/CBS
How raw is that to see that again?
Wipe the food out, wipe it all out.
And even Jeff at some point said, “What is it like playing with Keith?
Robert Voets/CBS
And it used to be the way you playedSurvivorwas much closer to your personality.
And I like seeing the social players, I like seeing the cowboys.
Id like to see that again.
Parvati Shallow on ‘Survivor: Winners at War’.Robert Voets/CBS
SARAH LACINA
Nobody gets voted out, but you get votedagainst.
No one knows the votes.
Everybody goes down and they write, and Jeff doesn’t read the votes.
Robert Voets/CBS
It would be [evil], and you would have no idea where you’re at.
It would be so heartbreaking at the end to see how many votes you had every time or something.
Everybody knows that nobody’s going home.
Robert Voets/CBS
And if you find an idol or something, then that eliminates one of your votes.
I’m sure there are some good players in that crowd.
And watch them come out here and give it their all.
Robert Voets/CBS
I bet you we’d have fireworks.
Francescas really smart, and I bet you, three times the charm.
But I think that would definitely work.
Robert Voets/CBS
I think there are some other people that could come back and do that.
I’d like to see that, kind of like an iteration that goes on.
Maybe a couple more, because I think theSurvivorMount Rushmore is not complete yet.
Robert Voets/CBS
I think we could see a few more statutes out there.
PARVATI SHALLOW
What aboutSurvivor: Rap Battle Island,where every challenge you have to freestyle rap?
And then when Jeff snuffs someones torch he has to say Well, thats a wrap!
Robert Voets/CBS
I don’t know.
NATALIE ANDERSON
I’d like to see final three versus first three.
First of the first and final three sitting.
Robert Voets/CBS
And then my dad has always told me that he wants to see Air vs. Land vs. Sea.
Air would be pilots and astronauts, anything to do with space and atmosphere.
Land would be people who work in construction engineers, farmers, or whatever.
Robert Voets/CBS
And then Sea would be the Navy SEALs, sailors, swimmers, something to do with water.
My dad is obsessed with this.
He always tells me this needs to be a season.
Robert Voets/CBS
MICHELE FITZGERALD
I would love a champions versus challengers kind of season.
Let’s see what’s going on.
Let’s do a returning season with your biggest runners up.
Robert Voets/CBS
KIM SPRADLIN
I’m not a big fan of the twists.
I’m just not.
I like the way the game used to be.
Robert Voets/CBS
I think it totally ruins the game.
So I just like good old-fashionedSurvivor.
I loved it the way it was.
I know they love the twists and all that, and I get that.
If people love that, great.
JEREMY COLLINS
I would definitely not do Extinction Island again, I’ll tell you that.
Put them on an island, see how it goes.
And you’re not really playing the game, you know what I mean?
That’s a lot of time off, and your mind is a lot clearer.
This is season 40.
This is going to be an epic season.
For season 40, we want a great winner.
Do you know what I mean?
They have bragging rights over everything.
I just don’t like [Edge of Extinction.]
I want the winner of this season to be me, first of all.
That’s an awesome winner.
I’m so glad that they won this season.
Season 40s so epic and it couldn’t have happened to a better firefighter.”
That will be a nice little clever twist and that’s right up my alley.
I would try really hard to win this game if that was the twist.
DENISE STAPLEY
I want to see all women.
As a 48-year-old, I still see that women, we are horrible to each other.
Like, an all-female tribe again.
Because there’s something about wondering how that might gel together differently versus seven years ago.
So Im going to say all women.
DANNI BOATWRIGHT
I would love to see America versus Australia.
They can air it both places.
BEN DRIEBERGEN
One of the fun themes, I think, would be Nemeses.
People who have feuded on the show before.
So those feuds that were caught on camera, and during the game.
And so, I think a Nemeses season would be incredible, really, I do.
Another twist that I think would be fun?
I really enjoyed Extinction Island.
I think, that’s fair to everybody.
Because, we all come out for an experience.
I don’t want to go Ponderosa, and party, and do all that.
I’m here for the experience.
My girls always talk about, “When I’m onSurvivor.
It’s very possible that they might get a chance to playSurvivor.
ADAM KLEIN
I would say getting rid of the fire-making twist.
Because it’s notSurvivorto me.Survivoris don’t get voted out of the game.
I think part of the game is managing your threat level.
You got to manage your threat level.
That is the game.
That’sSurvivorand it’s a beautiful thing.
