This season will be shot in China, which I suppose is interesting from a socio-political standpoint but I don't expect it to make the show more entertaining.
The reason why I think it stays fresh is because even though the circumstances are the same (other than contrived gimmicks like tribes split along racial lines or filming it in China), the players are always different. And the players make the show interesting.
This year two players you may know are competing.
Jean-Robert Bellande is a somewhat well known pro poker player. He is a huge guy who talks a lot at the table. He is a disciple of Jeffrey Lisandro. Bellande made two televised appearances, finishing third at a WSOP Circuit Event in 2005 and appearing on World Poker Tour's Bad Boys of Poker II.
But the real star of this season (praying she doesn't get voted off early) will be Ashley Massaro who is a WWE Diva. Ashley is pretty hot other than some weird piercing on her lip, but she has huge fake tits. It's always cool to see chicks with implants on Survivor because the rest of their body deteriorates and shrinks and the boobs stay round and perfect.

Now that my life is TiVo-ized, perhaps I'll give it another go....although my favorite 'adventure' reality show of the past few years has been The Amazing Race.
That show proves your point though...it's almost the same thing every season...but each year they make sure to fill the cast with a few hotties, a few douches, someone gay, someone racially insensitive, and a few hicks. I'd probably enjoy any show with a cast like that.
