No, you should make it like a real search, like Ozle's map challenges

Guys, thinking of watching one season of the actual show to get pumped for this, what should I do? I might have asked Robz earlier but I don't remember what he said.

Hmm. Well, the really old, original seasons, are not as good, in my view. So don't start from the beginning if you just want to watch one! The seasons with returning cast members tend to be the best, but some of the fun there is watching people you already know.

Survivor: Phillipines is a recent, mostly standalone season (three returning cast members) that was pretty good.

You could also try Heroes vs. Villains, Fans vs. Favorites I, Fiji, or Samoa.

Heroes vs villains is what google suggested, followed by the philippine one. I'm just worried that too much of the appeal of heroes vs villains is knowing said characters from before. (Obv I'll watch all 26 if I like it that much! I really don't know, havent seen a single episode in probably 8 years.)

I thought the last season (Fans vs Favs 2) was pretty great, although there were a few lame people and favorites got a lot more airtime early, but it's easy to find it since it's still on cbs.com (assuming that works for you in Finland).

Availability isn't an issue for me, the internet's pretty wonderful. If there isn't a clear greatest season amongst the ones with no old characters, I guess I'll start with heroes and villains. I'll do it right away!

Don't give up on that OTHER desert island show, though, in the mean time!

I really liked Pearl Islands and Cook Islands.  I had an idea about how to do the group challenges--

what if you had a puzzle with a time limit that you gave each individual to play.  Then, as a group, each individual score would be added up for the group total.  (Could lead to a tie, though) 

The losing team would be able to see the results of each player's puzzle. So, if they wanted to vote off the person with the worst score (the "weakest" player) they would be able to compare scores easily.

I thought this would be a more objective way of assessing each players skills, rather than trying to coordinate in a QT....one player could get there first and solve the puzzle and then the rest of the people wouldn't be able to showcase their skills.

Anyway, just a thought...I haven't really thought it through to see all the potential problems.

I don't know if I'll have the time to put it together and run it anymore. :P If we have a ton of people, I'll for sure do it, but not if there is only this few.

I don't like the idea of a jury QT. I think jury members should not be allowed to talk about the game at all until the final vote, whether to each other or even publicly (especially publicly).

I also don't like the idea of a final 3. Final 2 all the way.

These are just my opinions, though.

In "real" survivor the jury gets to hang out together / talk about the game before the vote though, right?
