All of the destinations for Survivor are somewhere where it’s really hot. Any chance you’ll do one where it’s minus 40 degrees in the winter like northern Canada?

JP: You know, we have talked about Canada believe it or not. We had a long discussion about it for these two upcoming seasons. And we’re still on the fence about it. We see a lot of positives that would be new and different. And then there’s some negatives, you know, because physically you tend to shut down when you get cold. You don’t do as much. You’re going to be wearing parkas and hats and boots. And you’re not going to be in bikinis. Challenges become a little different so there’s pros and cons. I think though that Mark is probably leaning towards truly considering a colder climate, especially if the show goes on further because it’s hard, to find locations.

Mark Burnett and gang continue to make history with their latest Survivor twist

Quirkiest thing ever cooked up by Survivor:
a) exiling castaways to an island with no food or shelter
b) dividing the castaways by race
c) starving half the castaways while pampering the other half
d) hauling the show to a communist country

My vote’s for D. The fifteenth season of Survivor will be filmed in China, making Mark Burnett’s gem the very first series to be entirely filmed in a communist country.

This marks the first time the show will not filmed on an island setting since season six, which took place in the Amazon jungle. Other off-island settings have included Australia and Africa.

No word yet on any of the juicy details: who the castaways will be, where exactly it’s filming, or what the shiny new twists will be, but the real question is who gets final say on the finished product. According to Reuters, when The Painted Veil filmed there last year, the government objected to some of the final scenes, leading to some tension between Edward Norton, director John Curran and Chinese officials.

Finally a good idea! So many in my family have been wanting them to get sent to Siberia or something for so long. Not that I'd watch it if it were set in Canada. (Got boring after teh first 1.3 seasons).

Suggestion for teh title: Survivor: Yukon, so teh punishment/banishment zone or whatever can be sending them back to teh US for a day or whatever they do now

Oh! Also, for one of their tasks, they can help Al Gore save teh polar bears!

i say canada is too developed for something like survivor...they should go to siberia or antartica or mongolia or some place more exotic

And Australia isn't?
Trust me. Our northern territories... are vast and unused. They're hardly over developed. If you check out where our populations are accumulated they're generally far south (in Canada). Canada is the second biggest country in the world, and we've only got a pop of 33 million. We're hardly over developed. If they were to take Survivor to any of the territories they could easily find enough space.

Yeah. Norther Canada, like Nunavut Territories, isn't very developed.
I was watching a special a while back on the Alaskan Frontier, and they said that parts of Canada in the north were the same way. Of course, that special was from the eighties...XD

As for Australia...there's a lot of wilderness there.

I think they need to do one on Irimote Islands in Okinawa. XD It's like eighty percent unspoiled forest.
Just hope you survive living with Yamamaya.

Yeah. Norther Canada, like Nunavut Territories, isn't very developed.

Sounds great. I found this season to be boring at first but the last few episodes have gotten good. Especially last nights! talk about blindsided!
