PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Just curious"
When I first heard the premise of this show, it seemed winnable by anyone who'd done some serious camping and could tough it out. How naive I was. . . Didn't take long to realize this would be about who could be the most creative conniver (is that even a word? . . .).

Two things really have me wondering, in light of the reality:

1. After observing these people in action in such detail, what CAN their families and (more importantly) employers think of them? especially that #####, Richard. . . How good can you feel about entrusting your business (and paying a salary) to people who've demonstrated such a prediliction for laziness, backstabbing, etc.?!

2. Are there REALLY enough additional fools out there willing to subject themselves to this kind of scrutiny and abuse for the next series?! I suppose I know the answer to this one, but am still amazed at the number of people who qualify as the lowest common denominator. I do predict that normal people will avoid getting involved, now that we've seen how well "nice" people fare in this kind of environment.

I think it's really amazing that American TV was able to come up with something even more strange than Japanese game shows. Probably not an achievement to be proud of. . . Did anyone read what the creator has said about the show? He said they were a bunch of pantywaists who couldn't REALLY survive, if they had to. He was sorry they had to provide rice, but they had to protect themselves from lawsuits when people starved to death. Would've been a more interesting show, and probably closer to what I expected!

1. "Yes!"
absolutely keen observation tire-guy I would be glued to my TV if the challenges were to 'eliminate' the loser of the challenge, ie. first one off the log and first one to fail at trivia hehe,
seeing a few people lose some weight would be kind of entertaining also, but unfortunately the only one who has proven he can feed himself is RICHARD! and he'd be the first one I'd eat!

2. "RE: Yes!"
EEEEEWWWW! You might want to rethink that one! I'm sure you'd come down with some kind of terminal disease from eating HIM--something akin to mad cow disease. . .
