Don't you think it's funny that we find entertainment in a show that takes a bunch of hard core Americans to a foreign country, forces everyone to survive on their wits, strength, determination and resourcefulness and then picks a 'winner?' And they find the most remote areas on earth to make it more interesting.
The funny thing is that in most of these places, I'm sure there are indigenous people groups watching from a distance thinking, "You survive living MY LIFE for a few weeks and if you Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast the other nineteen whimps you brought with you, you win a million bucks? FUCK YOU!!"

I still say Survivor Ghetto is a better idea!
Survivor Bagdhad. Winning the hearts and minds, protecting the flame of Democracy, and not getting your ass shot off. The winner? Every single American there. Well a bit deep, but think it would make good TV.
Survivor Canada...sure they can survive in their little tanks and bikinis somewhere warm, let's see them survive in the cold with parkas and snow!!!
Haha, I've always thought that. It's always funny when the natives come out and try to show them how to fish or start fire or whatever...I'm sure they are just cracking up at the Survivor's ineptness.

I am bummed Jeff didn't do his vote basket to waverunner to helicopter to cab to studio bit. Sure, it is lame and super campy, but it is something I have come to love and expect.
Plus, where were the other bloated past survivors in the audience? I missed them too.
I like Charlie's idea! I never have gotten the whole reality TV concept. I don't watch any of them. There's nothing "REAL" about the situations involved.
hehe .. great point!
Steph, I agree hands down! I refuse to watch "Survivor" just for that reason. What about the people that do it everyday? Why don't they have a "Survivor Minneapolis Winter" when it's fucking 35 below zero outside and you have to run out to your car to start it an hour before you leave, take the garbage out and not freeze your fingers off. They're all bastards. I'd take Palau and a bowl of rice anyday over 12 feet of snow and a wind-chill that'll make you wish you were never born.
I LOVE all of these! They're so true. Any of those situations would be a better test of survival skills. But they, of course, would never have Survivor in a cold location where they would actually have to wear clothes!! :)
And I love Survivor Ghetto, but it would never happen. We don't want to appear politically incorrect (but we're okay with offending people who have to kill their own dinner every day)!
Crazy! :)
