I agree it is the best Survivor. I was enjoying survivor for o say the first two shows. Thinking O'man another just pick the other team off Survivors. In the past we have had them like that, remember Africa Survivor where it got so bad that they had to bust the teams up to make it more interesting. Thinking that Drake would just keep winning and winning, and then there would go Morgan, just like what was happening in africa. But the great and wise Drake team decided to mix it up for us and that is where Survivor became the best Survivor ever. From that point on it has just been nonstop for me. I LOVE IT.

Well, I'm another 'agree-er.' But I'm wondering if that first Survivor remains a favorite simply because the concept was new. (I recall telling someone –re work– that if he didn't deliver on time that I would vote him out of the tribe. And he knew exactly what I meant...) But I'm wondering, if in retrospect, this current Survivor may be the 'best-ever.'

I wish I would have seen the first Survivor. I only watched the last show of that season. Survivor 2-7, though I've seen every episode (even when traveling). I see they have the DVD of "highlights" of the first season, but I want the whole thing!!!

I don't know Enigma2, I think part of the charm of the first survivor was the novelty. No one knew what to expect. But it also had a great cast.

We have another great cast with Pearl Island. I felt a little like Starlmae at first. Thought Drake was going to dessimate Morgan. Morgan's come backs have actually added to the season's enjoyment for me. They are subsisting but for the most part really sucking it up.

Talon, I predict with so much "reality tape" being shot the last few years, it's only a matter of time before we have a reality channel, like the game show channel. Just as soon as DVD sales fall off.

I for one would like to see Survivor I again and past Big Brothers. I think it is only a matter of time.

Gidget and Talon: If there were to be a reality channel, I hope we get to see all of the other versions of Survivor. (Like the German one that was held at the Pearls). And then there's also all of the BigBrothers (Brits, Aussies, Africa, etal).

On the other hand, I don't think I have the energy to get through all of that...

I am not sure if I would jump on the bandwagon and say THIS IS THE BEST, however I am very happy that MB has finally clued in the TV audience isnt entertained by people truly starving to death. Heidi was skeletal. At 85 lbs at one point, she was still being edited as the sexy siren.

In my opinion, this show is being edited much better than other seasons. We also have a BEAUTIFUL area with lots of scenery. We LOVE that kind of thing. and WHO DOESNT LOVE the tale of Pirates on the high seas? We all were swept away with stories when children so this show appeals to the kid in all of us imho

I think Sunshyne4u in on target when mentioning locations. There is something so right and also attractive about the idea of surviving on the edge between sea and land. Some of the other locations were downright ugly. And when they are inland, you always get the sense that if these people just walked far enough, they could get to a Macdonalds.

I was a Survivor fanatic for the first two seasons and then the last two had me wondering if I would ever even bother to watch again. Well, between the pirate theme and the personalities involved this year, I am loving it once again! And as luvtrash said, "these are not obvious wannabes sent by their agents". Thank you, MB, for that! I still can't get over that Jeff thought the audience would love Jenna last seaon. Talk about not being in touch with the viewing audience.
