"Spin off of Survivor?"

I just seen the previews for this week's Boot Camp. Seems like somebody is going to get hurt, just like in Survivor. How long before they kill somebody in a reality TV show?

Actually, on the show Temptation Island, Valerie killed Kaya one day after the show ended (she finally got an ounce of self esteem). They kept it quiet so the ratings wouldn't fall.

People get killed on "Cops" all the time....can't get much more real than that.


Edited because I should have proofread for obnoxious typos.

Despite what previews for an upcoming episode appear to show, it usually doesn't pay off. Keep in mind that for this week's episode, we saw Hutak's emotional reaction to Thomson's ailment...

In fact, Hutak was choked up over her departed sister.

Everyone on the spoiler boards was in an uproar when Survivor showed what appeared to be a crocodile attack in the Kucha camp...

In fact, Michael fell in the fire and burned his hands.

In the mole, one of the missions took a "serious turn"...

In fact, Katherine passed out.

I'm not going to get too excited about the potential for serious accidents/injuries in these reality shows, unless there is some press about it LONG before the show airs. How would you keep someone's death a secret from the press, until then?

Suppose that they'd let us vote on who gets killed? Probably not, but that'd sure pump up the ratings on this loser. Might as well make it that token Action Jackson guy, so he'll get some video time.
