Why don’t they do a “Survivor Alaska” or have they already?
The Discovery Channel had a great show called ‘The Alaska Experiment’, where they gave basic survival/hunting skills to folks, then dropped them in the middle of nowhere. It was compelling stuff.
This actually came up years ago when Survivor was still really popular. After the 2nd (or so) season, the idea of going to Alaska, or other parts of the Arctic or Anarctic was floated. But, the suits at CBS thought that Survivor would miss the "titillation factor" it enjoys with so many scantily clad women running around beaches, and what no. Ever since, Survivor has only been shot in tropical or near-tropical climates.
