'Survivor' vs. 'Big Brother': Zap2it's TV Show Smackdown
(CBS)

Twists
"Big Brother": This show is known for their twists and while some have been ridiculous -- putting siblings who are unaware of their relationship in the house together? That could've ended very poorly. -- a lot of the twists have been really fun. We particularly liked the twin twist from Season 5. They also help a rather stagnant show stay fresh.
"Survivor": The Hidden Immunity Idol is really the only big twist we've seen on the show (except for that weird racial experiment in the Cook Islands) and by now even the Hidden Immunity Idol has become old hat.
Winner: Interestingly, while "Big Brother's" ratings have stayed fairly consistent, "Survivor's" have steadily dropped for the last ten seasons. So is having more twists the answer? We don't know if that fits "Survivor," but for now we award the twists point to "Big Brother."
