Would any1 agree with me when i say that "Survivor" is a complete waste of time, and a discrace to outdoor enthusiasts worldwide? the idea seems good, but in reality, it's purely a political game. are their any true "Survivor" TV series? i havn't heard of any. <br><br>PS. wat does BTW mean? and wat is an Atloids tin? (I'm still new at this!! )<br><br>Johnny

Altoids are the British candy mint. The small tins they come in are the classic small tin ( not neccessarily the best) for assembling a Personal Survival Kit. Other options are tobacco tins or anything you find usefull. As to Survivor Shows, I look for any documentary that features native peoples. They are the true survivors!

You have to remember that Survivor is little more than a prime time soap opera set in a psuedo wild location (helo evac 15 minutes away) with pretty inept people chosen for their marketability on TV (i.e., breast size and antagonistic attitudes) instead of their skills. I actually find it humorous.

It is a little late but... The Travel channel on cable TV had an entire week of shows on survival. If you conatct them, they may be able to tell you when they will repeat the series. Pete

I object to the insulting ,ersatz tribal symbols; tiki statues, african fetishes etc. We do this with sports mascots and advertising. I dare say, a team called the Miami Rabbis or Boston Mackeral Smackers wouldn't last very long. An M&Ms commercial made Finding the new dalai lamma into a commercial. I discovered M&Ms are sold in Red China. If you can't respect small nations or ethnic groups, you obviously don't respect me either.

Yeah, Survivor sucks. I saw this cool series on A & E the other day called "B.U.D.S." about the Navy Seal training. I tell you what, those people are true badasses.
