Location Ideas

As Survivor keeps going on, the one problem seems to be the locations that they keep reusing over and over again. So far, Gabon is the latest unique location and Cambodia was the newest location that they went to. Due to the way things are now filmed, you’ll see the game play out in the same location twice. It helps lower the cost to have one season, a two week break, and another season all in the same location. But what are locations that would work for future Survivor seasons? Well, I might as well speculate as to what would be a good place for them to do Survivor at in this blog of mine.

I should note that I’m doing very minimal research (actually, no research) into what places are political stable, isolated but not too dangerous, and ideal for Survivor seasons. I’m just naming various places that I think would work well for a Survivor season. Maybe any of them would actually work. Maybe, none of them would. We’ll see what locations, if any, they ever go to.

Survivor, the US version at least, has never been to Europe. Maybe this is too developed a place to have an isolated enough area to do the show. I would love to see a Survivor season in Ireland. Or, they could go to Northern Ireland. You’d think that European countries would have islands that are isolated enough that they could be used to film a Survivor season at. Possible European islands they could go to would be Crete, Malta, and Sicily.

Now just because there’s a place that hasn’t been used, doesn’t mean that there aren’t more underused places that should be used more in the future. For one, they have hardly been to Africa or South America as much as they could have been. Now this may be due to the fact that they normally film seasons during our summer so they wouldn’t be able to have warmer places down there during that time of the year. Still, it would be interesting to wonder where else they could film on either of those two continents.

Let’s start with Africa. Having been to South Africa, I would highly recommend that they go there, if they can find a good place. Other places that might work would be Congo, Botswana, Ghana, Mozambique, Djibouti, Morocco, Mali, and Senegal.

Here’s where I think would work in South America: they should go to Bolivia, the Galapagos Islands, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. I just hope that all of the regions are politically stable enough. I have no reason to doubt that, but I’m doing no research into that.

Switching now to Mezo America (or Central America, as most people call it, although I’m honestly bothered that it isn’t considered North America to many people), you might be wondering which of those countries I would want Survivor to go to. I think that Belize, Honduras, and Costa Rica would be good Central American countries to visit.

Asia is what I’ll do next. Of all the Asian countries that they haven’t been to yet, I think that they should go to Japan, Taiwan, Burma, Nepal, and Mongolia. I have no idea which continent Papua New Guinea is, but I would add that too.

Oceania isn’t a continent per say, but it is the most common place that Survivor has gone to. For all the places there that they haven’t gone to in Oceania, I would suggest the Marshall Islands, New Zealand, the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tasmania, French Polynesia, and Easter Island. Is Easter Island in that chain of oceans? I think it would be a good idea either way.

Well, that’s about it for this blog post. I hope that I had good suggestions and I look forward to whatever new locations I hope Survivor goes to. I’m not sure that I have any one location that I’d want more or less than the other. I just want more new locations. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
