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."

5. "Bad Casting/ Boot Camp" |
..the only interesting facet of this show was the Takedown rule, but because so many of these people were soo out of shape, we rarely got to see the rule used since so many people left because of injuries, quitting, or illness.

6. "Final TC - Survivor 2" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-11-02 AT 07:46 PM (EST)Edited to clarify... The decision to do a live vote read, which resulted in the ridiculus supposed real-time helicopter fly-in (when it was already dark in LA!!!), and then two people I never saw before in my life claiming to be Colby and Tina really messed up the flow of the show and detracted from the ending. Perhaps it would be better titled "The Final TC Vote Read in LA".

13. "The switch/ Survivor Africa" |
...in the end, it did nothing to prevent the inevitable pagonging and all it did do was eliminate strong contestants like Silas and Lindsey while at the same time adding life to those undeserving like MamaKim and Frank.

16. "The Fruit Squeeze Challenge/Love Cruise" |
By far, the dumbest challenge in reality tv, especially because it was to determine the final two couples.

17. "Elisabeth's vote appears to be Colby but is really Tina-S2" |
Do you remember when it clearly looked as if Elisabeth voted for Colby by making a "C" but it turned out that her vote was cast for Tina? There was some footage in the web about it...

19. "No running team cash total -- TAR" |
A constant theme in TAR was how teams needed to conserve money. Yet, since we never had any idea how much money they had, we had no idea whether they needed to conserve or were just dumb/cheap. The worst example was Team Guido in Thailand, when they thought the didn't have enough money to take a cab after winning the FF ... but they did have enough to pay for a hotel room for the night!

20. "Survivor 3's same challenges. " |
I hate it when Survivor producers recycle old challenges. The SOS, triva, and the pole challenges. That ruined the show for me.

What could have been a neat Survivor-type contest instead turned out to just be a race to get home.

28. "Colby's challenge wins. S2" |
Colby's plate was cracked in one challenge and his carabiner was briefly removed from the rope in another. These cast a pall over the whole Survivor 2 show, making people like Peter Lance question how fixed the show might have been.
