Survivor III starts tonight and I’m so exited. I just love that show. I think Survivor I was much better then Survivor II, but The new one looks like it’s going to be awsome. What does everyone else think ? Any other Survivor lovers out there ? ---

Hello, everyone. My name is Astroboy, and I love Survivor. I’m not proud of it, but there it is… it keeps me glued to the TV when it is on.☹ ---

Oh my God yes. I’m a Survivor lover, and not ashamed to admit it - there just cannot be better mindless entertainment. And as long as they have hotties like Colby around - I am so there. ---

I like it. One of the networks in Japan is showing Survivor II at about 2am on Friday nights and my girlfriend and I have been staying up to watch. So far, I haven’t been disappointed. I’m amazed and baffled at the degree of flamage the show gets. To be honest, it doesn’t seem any dumber than any other game show I remember watching. Oh well, I guess if I had to listen to everyone in the office talking about it every day, my nerves would wear pretty thin, too. ---

I’m a closet Survivor addict. I deny it to everyone and join my coworkers and roommates in mocking it and its fans, but secretly, I set my VCR and watch it late at night in my bedroom after everyone goes to bed. I feel so dirty. ---

It’s great, but it’s not as hard as it could be. ---

And I don’t think they try hard enough. Just look at last year. They were stuck in the Australian Outback, surrounded by a large amount of resources (river, lumber, bush, etc.), and they lived in extremely shabby shelters and sat around all day. Hell, yesterday’s episode was hilarious - the losing tribe didn’t have fire, and thus no water for an entire day, and what did they do? Absolutely nothing. They sat around and waited until nightfall so they could go to tribal council to get fire. Idiots. They didn’t even do an inventory like the other tribe did. [snip] I had a bunch more, but I’m gonna post it in the other thread. ---

The commercials were full of people from Survivor I & II …
