I'd like to see more personal battles, like teams of 2 competing against other teams in the initial stages, then a final blending of all the remaining contestants for the last 3 or 4 episodes. They'd have to modify the challenges to accommodate this, but it would be far more interesting to see the smaller pairings, especially if 2 totally disparate people are paired.
Since the Amazing Race is borrowing contestants from other reality shows, Survivor could borrow from them: have each 2-member team select who is going to compete in a particular challenge; have roadblocks; and, have non-elimination rounds. There would be some areas to iron out, such as how would they select each episode's loser, but I think it would make it more interesting.
Just hope they get some people who actually something about surviving in the wilds for once.
