First, welcome to the forum! (I think I'm 'old' enough to say that!)

I agree, I would rather be 'stuck' in a survival situation by myself. Ruzzelson Crusoe! But, I might be willing to go an extra mile or so if acompanied by a hot 20 year old babe! Heck, if it's as simple as throwing a branch on the fire, I gonna kick myself silly!

The 'elimination part is just another part That prevents me from watching the show. The best will naturally be kicked off first.

I have a better idea for shows. First we could have real survivalists (such as ourselves) in a out of element situation. Like, make us CEO's or something. Or, decorating houses or making designer clothing.

Or, we could get a bunch of hard-core felon criminals and put them on a island, without medivac helicopters, or anything like that. Then we let them stew awhile, and once the population is down to about 5 or 10 (from originally 30 to 50) then you bring in a boat or something that only has enough room for [color:"red"]one [/color] . . . . . . . . . <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I like where you're going with this thought! I bet we could make a bundle using only the satellite cameras to film it for broadcast and eliminate some rather bothersome public burdens as well.

I like it!

I never ever watch those "reality" shows, but I may have to watch some of this one, just 'cause I used to fish around the Pearl Islands when I was stationed in Panama. I wonder how much they have changed since '69???
