TotallyOz Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yes. My favorite show. One of my favorite countries. Favorite quote from first episode: Tyson: I'll get a tierra, a man tierra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeron Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I've never really gotten the appeal of these shows. What is it about it that you love? I enjoy project runway, where it's about demonstrating skill and creativity (in an admittedly pretty artificial environment). But reality shows like Survivor just seem like soap operas without script writers. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But reality shows like Survivor just seem like soap operas without script writers. Am I missing something? I think it was the first prime time major network reality show. MTV's Real World was the first biggie. I love the mind games played and the ability for others to use their minds to change the outcome of the game. It really is more of a mind game that one of the strongest person. Last season I loved to watch the way it worked out that 2 of the weakest players dominated the season. A little nerd and his girl controlled the outcome for most of the season. When an alliance is formed and they stick together it is hard to stop them. I like watching others try to break up the alliances and try to vie for a million dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never pay attention to the stupid competetitions...great opportunity to multi task while this show is on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mineallmine Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I really liked survivor when it first came out and watched a few season. I dont really watch it anymore. I think the amazing race is better you get to see more of the world! I also really enjoy project runway, americas next top model. And my new latest one is Ruapual's Drag Race. I also used to be a big fan of Real World then it just got old quickly! Oh then there are all the spin-offs of shows...The Surreal Life on Vh1 spawned the show with Flav-a-flav and bridgette nielsen and then that spawned flava of love and that spawned I love New York and Charm School. Its a never endless cycle of the rejects getting their own TV shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
