Survivor Caramoan - Fans vs. Favorites (Premieres Wednesday February 13th at 8PM ET on CBS) - Page 134

Read this on reddit, what are your guys thoughts? Seems actually like a pretty great idea to me:

"I have always thought the coolest idea would be to take 10 pairs of identical twins and have two genetically identical tribes. Logistically, I get that it would be tough for the viewer to tell people apart, but I think with some really prominent buffs, it could work. Would just be really interesting to see how the tribes would be similar and different with an identical age/gender/genetic makeup."

From a thread about ways to make survivor more interesting:

Like it, as long as its not those super-annoying twins that were on Amazing Race last year.

cliffs on what actually happens in BB apart from people living in the same house and what makes it intersting? (would google but I would be destined to be spoilered in case I decide to watch).

ayuken, it's like Survivor in a house to put it in a nutshell. More specifically, it's an elimination style reality show. Each week one houseguest wins a competition to determine the "Head Of Household", they nominate two houseguests for eviction. Then there's a "veto" competition, the winner of the veto can remove one of the two nominees and force the HOH to name a new one. The rest of the house votes to evict one of the two nominees post-Veto. Alliances are made and broken all the time, power shifts often, people go stir crazy, etc. It's good fun.

Someone told me there are a lot more strategic players on BB in general. Is that correct?

Untrue, imo. The cast is smaller so the few strategists stand out more. BB is also a very different game, so the criteria aren't exactly the same.

I think it just feels that way because in Survivor, it's easy to just fade into an alliance and be a number, not the person who has to call the shots. On BB, more people can win HOH or POV and actually have to be the person who calls the shots for the week, so they are kinda forced to play the game rather than just be part of an alliance as in Survivor

Also, the editing is forced to show what everyone is doing since they don't know the results

Also, if there's any way to watch BB online please let me know. Even torrenting this thing is difficult.

I hate the family visit crap but this is a nice twist. Brenfa should ask dawn what to do here to try to take the heat off herself.

I would have given up my spaghetti dinner for beans & rice like Andrea did, but this is going too far. If I'm Brenda I just keep the love and if people cant understand that then **** them

Yeah I can see that thinking, given the person who is most likely to be vengeful should be Dawn.

Obviously I have never been stranded on an island in this situation, but I cant fathom ever being this emotionally affected by love ones ep to where I would even snap think about not giving up my loved one for the benefit of the rest. Although my first loved one would be my brother and he also love survivor and would slap me too if I didnt give it up.

I mean I have gone to college where I havent seen anybody I am related too for months at a time. I had to deal with dehydration there too, albeit from too much alcohol and being hungover.
