survivor in my view is conceptually one of the best reality tv shows ever. i disagree with the amazign race picking up so many awards. i mean, yes its fun to watch people run around, but i think its way more interesting to pick away at the human condition. because survivor is a social experiment. it is proof that groups never exist peacefully and coorperatively. it is testament to the selfishness of Man. after all, who doesnt want a million dollars?
i think its very easy to lose sight of the real game in survivor. survivor isnt about surviving. it is about playing the game. it is about playing with people, manipulating situations to your needs. the one thing i really wish the producers of the show would do is to actually put a whole bunch of real smart people in one season. i mean, on the surface it may not make for entertaining tv, no bimbo, no cut-throat bitch, no nice guy, no sweet girl. but it would be way more interesting, when everyone has a strategy and everyone plays the game. i think that was missing from the first half of this season, but they're getting to it now. its about outsmarting the rest, not outsurviving the rest. survival is not for the fittest, it is for the smartest.
