You call this surviving???


Ok, so what the heck is up with Survivor? I got hooked on the show during its second season in Australia and have liked it ever since. Yeah, some were better than others but all in all it was quite entertaining to see the dynamic of how people act in adverse conditions. Sure, the producers do put their spin on it for entertainment value. But, people do find ways to survive. Note that word: survive. Now, this season, you have one tribe with all the comforts of home against another who is, well, just surviving. Naturally the tribe of "haves" (Moto) is kicking the butts of the "have nots" (Ravu). Duh! What did they think would happen? Hmmm, let's see, we give some people everything they need to keep themselves relatively healthy - both physically and emotionally. Then we give some other people nothing. I mean absolutely nothing! And see who wins. I don't like it. The advantage is so huge you kind of know what is going to happen before it happens. I'm guessing Mark Barnett figured it out also because they are going to switch it up next week. I think it might be too late for that. Other than that one stupid idea of bringing back people voted out to compete again at Pearl Island (I thought this is about outwit, outhink and out play?), this might be the worse one yet. There is no level playing field. I'm still hoping for the Ravu people to kick butt. However, I think we already know what is going to happen. Ho, hum. Is it baseball season yet?
