More Whatnot

You never really know when inspiration is going to strike. For some it’s in a field of beautiful flowers, for others it’s while listening to their favorite music. But for me, it came when I was in a dark parking lot with “Survivor” villain Jon “Jonny Fairplay” Dalton.

It was during last January’s “Survivor” reunion party. Mr. Fairplay and I were enjoying a heated discussion about a “Best Survivors Ever” piece that three-time Emmy winner Jeff Probst and I had done in 2008. I had my picks for the four best Survivors of all time, Mr. Fairplay disagreed. Eventually, Cirie Fields overheard us talking and shared her thoughts. Shortly afterward, a few other former Survivors joined in on the debate.

It was then that inspiration hit me – why isn’t there a “Survivor” Hall of Fame?

Now there is…and I want you to help me choose the Class of 2010.

The Rules
Fifty percent of the vote will be based on the ballots of the “Survivor” Hall of Fame Executive Voting Committee. This blue-ribbon panel will consist of “Survivor” luminaries such as Host and Producer Jeff Probst, Challenge Producer John Kirhoffer, and Executive Producer David Burris, members of the “Survivor” press corps, and XFINITY TV’s “Survivor” Know-It-All Gordon Holmes.

(I’ll have to think of a sweet title for myself. I’m thinking Senior Chairman of the Executive Voting Committee.)

The other fifty percent will come from fans like you. Simply enter your picks for the five best Survivors of all time into the comment section below to participate. Voting will end Friday, December 3, 2010 at 5 p.m. ET.

Once all of the votes are counted, we’ll unveil a new member of the “Survivor” Hall of Fame Class of 2010 each weekday in the week leading up to the “Survivor: Nicaragua” finale.

So, please cast your vote below, and bookmark this page as we’ll be updating it with the ballots of the Executive Voting Committee and a few other surprises. Also, you can follow the “Survivor” Hall of Fame on Twitter for up-to-the-minute updates and breaking news.
