CBS has announced the premiere date for the 30th season of Survivor, so what do fans of the show want to see for the landmark edition?

Survivor Season 30 will premiere Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. It will be another 90-minute premiere, which the reality series has done several time in the past. Survivor producers are notoriously secretive when it comes to revealing concepts for seasons ahead of time, but there are a few options they could go with for Season 30 (or beyond).
One option, as always, is to do a full-blown All Stars season. The last full All Stars season was Season 20, Heroes vs. Villains, which is widely considered one of the best in the reality show's 14-year history. A popular title being floated around is Survivor: Legends, which would bring back some of the show's most memorable characters.

Another option is to just continue what seems to be working: all newbies who don't know each other. At its heart, Survivor is about strangers coming together to survive the elements and each other. While the series has had its fair share of returnees, what better way to celebrate 30 seasons than by going back to the original concept of the show?
Survivor 30 could also be another season of Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, which was the concept for Cagayan. This season was an enormous success and is already considered one of the best ever, so as long as they can cast great characters like Tony Vlachos, Kass McQuillen and Spencer Bledsoe again, they might have the same level of success.
Another tried and true formula is half newbies/half returnees. Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Favorites) is one of the more popular seasons and while Caramoan, the second "Fans vs. Favorites" season wasn't as popular, they could give it another go for Season 30.
At the end of the day, Survivor's fanbase continues to be one of the most loyal and passionate on television and they will likely keep watching and supporting the show no matter what.
Survivor: San Juan del Sur airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
