Yep... I remember at the start of the reality craze that maybe Survivor would be cool to watch - learn something, see some crazy skilled wilderness folk. Please. It's no different than any other wannabe actor reality show that's highly scripted and more than dubious in both content and performance.

Now, put 10 people out by their lonesome in the middle of nowhere and they have their own cameras and have to survive and record their experiences. With am emergency locator beacon or some way to make sure they really could get out in a hurry by chopper and that might be interesting. Even so, any sort of safetynet precludes a lot of the fear and anxiety a normal survivor would feel I should think.

If my wife turns on a "reality" show - I pretty much just leave the room. They are all crap.
