If I understand correctly ( I stopped watching the "Survivor" shows midway through the first season), Gretchen Cordy, who is also featured on this DVD set, was the only person in the first three seasons who actually was able to get a fire going without matches. She also argued strongly against locating their massive shelter on the beach (a position that later proved to be justified when the tides threatened to was it away), and was also the first person voted off the island because she was perceived as a threat to the others, rather than as a liability to the "tribe". She was probably the only participant in the history of the show who really did understand survival. Even if Doug hadn't been involved, I'd be interested in seeing the DVD just for her.
