TPIR features each contestant for a max of maybe ten minutes, and they're simply vehicles for the show to continue to function, akin to a news show interviewing witnesses to an event. Survivor is a reality show where the contestants are actively part of the show. They're treated like cast members, albeit disposable ones. I was only thinking in terms of one season at a time, but I would absolutely expect one season worth of contestants to be present.

It still strikes me as the easiest cast because The Simpsons is way-too-many-characters deep and the other two feature people who are legit combatants. Maybe I should consider Naruto on the basis that this is specifically a fistfight, and I concede that an average Survivor contestant will probably be tougher to handle than an average Springfield citizen, but Survivor seemed like the best choice in a line-up with four unpleasant options. As opposed to leaving Arthur on the table on a strong (weak?) day.

There's a good chance he wins by just letting you punch him until you're exhausted.

There's an episode where he does literally that in a short-lived boxing career. I don't know if you were referencing that, but if we're going to dismiss EE&E on the basis of Ed's freakishness, I wouldn't count this out, either.
