    I'm not a big fan of reality shows in general, but the original Survivor kept my attention. It was completely different from most things on broadcast TV at the time, and it was entertaining. But subsequent seasons weren't enough to keep me watching. And I also blame the reality TV takeover on Survivor. Before Survivor, reality shows were confined to a few cable channels, and now it seems like they are everywhere. Whatever happened to the sitcom? UPDATE: Enough already. Survivor has run it's course, yet they keep making new seasons. I still stand by my original statement that the first season was entertaining, but it's time to end. Even worse, Survivor airs on Thursdays, which is NBA on TNT night as far as I'm concerned, but last year Mrs. Twan's coworkers did a Survivor pool where they all picked a contestant, meaning that she usually wanted to watch Survivor when I wanted to watch basketball.

    Best season ever. However I would be considered biased because our company was responsible for getting Coach Benjamin Wade on the show. Who absolutely stole the show BTW.

    One of the originals. When a season is good, it is really good, but the lame ones are horrible so I rated it down the middle

    How come they can't live in a lagoon filled with Great White Sharks? Now THAT would be entertainment.

    There's not a shred of reality to be found in the entire exercise.  People are selected based on their fitting into a predetermined audience segment and dropped into a totally fabricated situation for the purpose of watching them do things that they would never do in the real world, all the while, a television crew with lights and a director are standing inches away coaching there every move and utterance.  What I’d love to see is a reality show about the making of a reality show.

    I don't let my son watch...too much nudity and skimpy clothing...but I watch and worry about the state of humanity.

    I think Survivor needs to be taken off the air for good. This is what makes major broadscasting TV not worth watching and unfair for quality programs to stay in the air. Some sickos might of watched this show to get ridiculously high ratings. End the Survivor series now.

    The whole survivor series would have to be one of the most immoral entertainment out there. Although it isn't violent or really raunchy, it is the mean spirit, every man for himself presence of that show. There is such a worldly feeling to that show. The thing that I hate most about the show is the fact that teams go against each other emotionally and fight with each other. There is constant back stabbing, factions and there is such a mean spirit during competition. They discourage and tear other teams down to the ground. They hold to the saying 'hate your enemies' (the opposite to the Bible.) The stunts are a bit risky and in one of the series, a guy got his hand burnt. What is really evil about this show is the fact that the producers encourage the participants to fight amongst each other. So fighting and people manipulating each other and gossiping, back stabbing is meant to be entertainment! The host is unsympathetic eg in one series, they were eating insects. Although o...

    I am a huge Survivor fan. The first season was a pretty good season. They all did not know what to expect and it is different than any of the other seasons. Most people did not believe that alliances actually exist in this game. And they were all just shocked when they found out there were alliances. This show had some of the most interesting characters on the show like Hatch, Sue and Colleen (even Rudy). It was not as dirty as some of the other seasons. But I bought it on DVD and I love the special features.

    The original Survivor was some of the most compelling and insightful television I've ever seen. I haven't gone on to follow the later editions, but I was riveted that first summer. It truly taught a lot about human nature in difficult social settings.

    Could a show be more mean-spirited and mindless, so devoid of role models, so lacking in inspiration and entertainment value? The show that seemed to bring about the unbearable stream of completely-useless reality programming, Survivor is one of the worst shows of all-time in my book. First off, the premise of the show is disturbing. Instead of coming together with teamwork and promoting the endless benefits of cooperation and peace, the show encourages its contestants to be ruthless, selfish, and bloodthirsty. Profanity and nudity run rampant as people try to kick each other off of this island of stupidity.

    Honestly, this crap sucks! Does anyone truly believe that it's not planned from day-one??!! For gosh sake, they choose a group of carefully-picked, diverse people, create situations where they can get half-naked (ratings, remember?), then eliminate the less interesting members of the group. PLEASE!!!! Put a group of people somewhere, with NO supervision, and NO escape route, and let them fend for themselves for a while. Then i might consider them to be true survivors. Otherwise, spare me the B.S.

    I'm not a big fan of Jenna but I'm kind of sick when ppl keep on saying that she's this and that.I think she deserve to win it as he got 6-1 vote.I'm sure there's something good about her that make ppl vote for her.Big majority.Everytime I read articles,they said bad things about her.From my opinion,we should see the good side of her.Maybe the editing makes her look really bad.We don't know her well.So don't judge somoeone if you don't know that person well.What I mean here is we need to see the whole situation.We can't just say things without thinking it properly.

    Why give stupid situations to people who can not think for themselves. It takes alot more than games and money to show any kind of moral growth in the human element. If all we can do is cut throat one another for a penny or two, we deserve what ever we now and in the future. Lets get back to friends and family.

    Interesting idea, but turn out to be back-stabbing, constant bickering show. I stopped watching Survivor after the first show ended.

    crap, crap, crap, and more crap. They're responsible for real live soap opeara drama crap. Even though it's real...it's still staged , I mean it's all planed out the way they suttlely arrange the outcome. It's a shame that people like to watch other wannabee on tv.

    I absolutely loved Survivor! The contestants were very interesting and I had to watch every minute of it! The second "Survivor" is just like the first, which would be good, but now it's unoriginal.

    We've had 'Survivor' (or Expedition Robinson as we call it) for about three years now. Frankly I do not see the interesting thing about a bunch of money crazed people trying to 'survive' on a 'desert' iland. I mean come on! They have doctors, helicopters, crew members, boats etc standing by in case a accident should occur. How hard is it to stay alive then?

    I wouldn't be paid a million dollars to watch this show, much less to do what these idiots did. A gay man won the contest (so I heard) how ironic.
