Let's be realistic.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the best shows ever made. i am dissapointed that it has only a 7 star rating

Survivor is a show that is impossible to judge as a whole. There are 10/10 seasons, and there are 1/10 season's. This comes with having 34 season's. The thing that's great about Survivor is that it can never die. Each season is different, so even though many seasons might not be great, many others will be incredible! Yes, Survivor's early seasons were some of its greatest, but many later seasons have been amazing. Think 27, 28, 31, 33. The evolution of the show is what makes it intriguing. New strategies being developed right in front of your eyes. No other TV concept can stay the same, yet still be constantly changing and refreshed.

This is simply one of the big landmarks of TV history for better of worst.The first season was addictive and insanely entertaining. It took awhile to figure it out but as one of the contestant soon realized, this is a simple game show at its core. Everything else is a matter of set dressing. It is however one of the most original game show ever. The best thing about the first few shows is that the contestants were still figuring out how to play the game. As the years have gone by, the contestants have settled on strategies and the game has become repetitive. No matter how many changes to the game, the shock of originality has been lost. But this show will always have its place in TV history. It signaled the start of a whole new genre and that doesn't happen every day.

Survivor is both a game and a reality show where the winner is chosen by a jury of peers comprised of contestants voted out of the game. The premise of the game is supposed to be outwit, outplay, outlast; however, those who actually do so are often not chosen the winner (a hotly debated topic and matter of opinion). Survivor can be interesting to watch from a sociological standpoint, but even that fascination can wear off after so many seasons. If you have never seen this show, do not be confused in thinking that it has much of anything to do with survival or outdoor skills, it is very much a social game with mostly physical challenges between teams (tribes) and/or individuals. They've tweaked with the show several times to keep people interested, and as the ratings have continued to decline since the first 10 seasons, it is no wonder that this season was their lowest rated premier. I think this show is getting a little old, and find it surprising that they are visiting a location for a third time already. They are quite fond of tropical locations. I would love to see them throw some people on the Falkland Islands and see how they adapt there. How about somewhere near Nunavut, the Faroe Islands, or the Aleutian Islands? I'd even take Majuli for a change of scenery. I would be curious what would happen if they could make the vote less emotionally-based. How about a 1/3 jury vote, 1/3 audience vote, and 1/3 producer vote (or half jury, half audience)? It would certainly make me more interested in watching if I knew I could affect the outcome. Even if they waited to do the voting after the show aired - literally casting live ballots during the finale - that would be interesting. I'm sure people's opinions would change if they got to see just how well others played the game behind their backs.
