A place where the people of fourfourtwo shall discuss the reality show that is Survivor.
What is Survivor?
Survivor is the American version of the Survivor reality game show, itself derived from the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson originally created in 1997 by Charlie Parsons. The series premiered on May 31, 2000, on CBS. It is hosted by television personality Jeff Probst, who is also an executive producer, and also executive produced by Mark Burnett and original creator, Charlie Parsons.
The show maroons a group of strangers (as one or more tribes) in a desolate locale, where they must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves, while competing in challenges to earn either a reward, or an immunity from expulsion from the game in the next of the successive votes for elimination. While much less common than elimination by vote, medical conditions, such as injury or infection, have eliminated several contestants. The last two or three survivors face a jury composed of the last seven, eight, or nine players voted off. That jury interrogates the final few, and then votes for the winner of the game, the title of Sole Survivor and a million dollar prize.

One reality 'survivor' show I'd tune in regularly for, would be to take the worst of the worst criminals, rapists, pedo's, murderers, terroists, etc. Give them each a Glock pistol with a 3 bullets, a single hand grenade, and a Bowie knife, drop them onto a remote island (Tasmania, perhaps :P ) and make them fight each other to the death.
Isn't that how Tasmania was initially populated anyway? :-k
