If you thought Millennials vs. Gen X was as inexplicable a theme as ever, Survivor Season 35, if the rumors are true, takes things a bit more surreal.
CBS has done a great job of keepingSurvivorfresh over the decades. Gameplay twists, casting options and great characters have been driving the show since 2000, although things have started to get a little more complicated and explicit on the show in terms of building on a theme.Survivor Season 35may be the most unnecessary, over-the-top and incomprehensible theme to build a season around in the show’s history.
Inside Survivorhas posted the rumored title and theme forSurvivor Season 35,calling itSurvivor Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.Yes, you heard that right; CBS is bringing back the “Heroes” theme for a season that doesn’t involve fan-favorite heroes from past seasons to face off against fan-favorite villains.Heroes vs. Villains 2remains a dead dream, at least for the upcoming season.

As I positedearlier today, it certainly looked like the cast of players with occupations such as mover, brand ambassador and personal assistant could have embodied aWorlds Apart-like “Blue Collar vs. No Collar vs. Pink Collar” theme. IfSurvivor Season 35is trulyHeroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers(god, what a stupid thing to have to write out in serious discussion), it’s essentially my earlier guess by a different name.

Still, the framing of theSurvivor Season 35theme is just so weird. Like, what’s the difference between a hero and a healer? Is someone who is a nurse practitioner who helps heal someone back from the brink of death just a healer, not a hero?
This is not to say that the season will be boring even if CBS gives it a stupid name, but I’d certainly be up for any sort of nickname or variant name. WillSurvivor HHHwork?Survivor Triple-H?Is the WWE merging withSurvivorto make the ultimate supershow?

I certainly hope that this rumor, while from a credible source, happens to be an early draft of the name.
