Tank goodness a "Survivor" discussion is on the campfire forum.<br><br>Yes, the strong end up getting voted off becasue they are a threat. But these knuckleheads are in for trouble becasue none of them want to work at the basics, preparing water, gathering food and building suitable shelter. The winner will be on the island for 39 days, which is a long time.<br><br>During the previous season in Africa, one team was dysfunctional as well, and they suffered. They didn't prepare their water properly, hence many returned with multiple deseases/parasites). At one point they went to their watering hole to find a huge pile of elephant dung in the middle... and they left it in there while they still collected water! They did boil the water, although I suspect that they didn't do it long enough or hot enough, but PLEASE, remove the dung from your water supply! And they ran very low on food to the point theier self-inposed daily ration was too low. You could see the physical and psychological effect this had on the people. From this point of view, the show is mildly interesting. Although I think the producers are prostituting these poor idiots who really have no business or desire to be there except for the dream of "winning" a miliion dollars.<br><br>I know P.T. Barnum said that there's a sucker born every minute, but I never expected to so many of them on the same TV show.<br><br>
