    Just to start off with - my wife and I don't subscribe to any TV channels - waste of time. one of the biggest wastes of time in TV is the dumb show called Survivor. This show... which should be called "look at my skin" or "Watch me complain" or "Look i'm a wimp" needs to have a whole new face lift. I Propose the following: -No more tropical areas. They should be thrown into the rough tundra of Canada, or the northern forests of Russia. You could also do one in the Middle East (You can't wear bikini's there). -Make them survive. THe last person alive/standing/not-deadish..ly wins. You could change the name to be "Whoever is alive at the end wins", but I think Japan / China already has a few shows like that (That's what I got after watching simpsons....):->

    You could just can the show. No wait, the show has gotten incredible ratings and is the gossip talk of many people. The moral: Don't blame the TV show, blame the consumer. If there wasn't a demand for this kind of entertainment, well, it wouldn't exist, now would it? Odd though--you know so much about the show, so you must have wasted some time! Oh, and one more thing. Thanks for wasting our time about wasted time. Marc

          Repost. :P Survivor: Kilkenny Edition has been proposed by the shows detractors since the first or second episode, if not earlier.

                      I have to admit that I've never seen the actual show but they are always showing commercials, talking about it on talk shows, etc. You see it without seeing it. Actually I take that back; I watched part of Survivor Australia because a college acquaintance was on it.
