11/02/2005 | Place more emphasis on real international wilderness survival from the REAL SURVIVORS. Use magical-like survival tricks invented by the creator (Joseph A. Laydon Jr. - www.survivalexpert.com) of the 2006 PAWS Program like "spit to start a fire" or "rub your show on a rock" or use a "beam of light from a flashlight in pitch black darkness" to start a fire in 02-seconds!!! Plus THOUSANDS more international survival tricks!!!!!
Otherwise, good luck on your ratings!!!

03/31/2005 | Instead of these idyllic tropical surroundings, I'd like to see Survivor-Baffin Island where they compete by wrestling polar bears and eating seal blubber. None of this wussy getting voted off, either. Just strip the loser naked and throw them off the icefloe.

03/31/2005 | This goes back to my Alive idea. Let them eat each other! How's that for outlasting?

11/12/2004 | 2 words. NO. WAY. I repeat: NO. WAY. people have to realize... Survivor is not about the camping and the lack of food... those elements just set the setting, and dramatize the action. It's more about the strategy game, the game we all play with society every day (and don't even realize it). It's a huge game of chess, but made personal because you're playing with people. It's about finding out who you really are, and what you stand up for. It's about getting along with society, and using them to get want you want (in this case it's a million $) People who don't like game shows can't go any farther than considering it a camping show, because they don't want to. A true fan of the show would like it even if it were set in a 5-star mansion. If you really want wilderness survival, go camping!

03/12/2004 | All that working at stuff is so boring. The psychological bits are the only interesting bits. They should suffer deprivations, of course, but spare us the sentimental Eco-Challenge puffery.

08/06/2003 | Each episode they say... this is going to be the toughest Survivor ever... when infact I think it just gets easier and easier each time.. more food given to them and less emphasis on work... more on relaxing at the beach.

03/24/2003 | lets dress them up in red white and blue. put them in north korea or even baghdad lets see them survive then, now that would be a show. it could be a cross from survivor + running man + commando that would be very cool.

01/24/2003 | The show is starting to pamper the survivors. It's almost not even like trying to survive anymore, just a camp with bad food. The last show, they didn't even have to start their own fires, or at least they didn't show them trying.

10/24/2002 | Great idea. What they should have done in the first place is dump their butts on an island, give them nothing but the clothes on their backs and a cell phone apiece, and say "alright, here you go, the last one to call in begging for help is the winner." Now that would be a good show.

07/01/2002 | I think they should have a "whine alert" whenever someone whines - an alarm could sound, and Jeff Probst could dole out punishment in the form of physical challenges. I mean, everyone knew what they were getting into when they signed on - I can't believe the level of whining we're subjected to. I quit watching the show halfway through the last season because of the whining. The wilderness survival element would be really cool except I'm sure everyone would whine more.

03/14/2002 | Think back over the past seasons of Survivor. What tends to come up when asked what the best seasons were? Most people I have asked say S1 because it was new, and s2 because they had it ten times harder in the Outback and it relied on real survival skills. After all it is Survivor, not Happy Campers USA.

11/16/2001 | Watching the first episode of survivor 2 I almost laughed myself off of the couch. I could have started a fire in about 15 minutes. And when they chose the campsite in the sandy creek bed I commented I hope the show doesnt run through the rainy season. I guess I have spent too much time in the back country to take this show seriously. As for eating live insects, eating insects, worms, etc. is a great source of protein but you should really cook it first. They are all sorts of parasites some of which can make you very sick. I have eaten many things that crawl along the ground to "survive" but I always cook it. I also always carry iodine tablets to purify my water with. And what about sex, they should place all singles on the show and lets watch them try to make a condom out of tree bark. Now that is surviving.

10/24/2001 | As you can see by Suvivor 3, they have made it togher on these folks. Although medical help is only an hour away, they certainly couldn't do a show like this without it. It would be logistically and financially impossible. Everyone would get hurt just to sue CBS for more than the million dollar prize they were seeking. I think it is as tough as can be allowed, but not as tough as Eco-Challenge (popped blisters, road rash, ewww!).

04/03/2001 | Yessir! These "survivors" are soft. Its all staged. Throw 'em out into the wild like the eco-challenge and see how they like that!
If you want to check out real survivorist stuff then maybe http://www.nonethegame.com is your thing.

01/21/2001 | Id love this--social survival is what you see everyday on TV and around you. A bit more wilderness survival would be a nice change of pace.

12/27/2000 | Yes, the show needs to be more based on the element of survival, BUT when I'm on survivor I don't want it to be too tough. That'd suck. Look for Jeremy on Survivor in the future. I'll be your favorate survivor! I just know I will!

12/23/2000 | Much has been said about making it more dangerous. Try making it as a paratrooper on a behind-enemy-lines recon patrol, no medical support and very real gunshot or land mine possibilities, for highly trained soldiers in great physical shape. So you want to consider denying 1-hour medical support to these unqualified people, you're nuts!

11/03/2000 | Take it off the air completely. There's an improvement! We have real problems, such as the possibility of a dummy like George Bush becoming president, and people are actually watching " Survivor." What is the purpose? I was never able to understand the whole concept of the show, but I did notice how they didn't forget to get their ONE black guy. As if the possibility of more than one black person would just ruin their little concept. Anyway, whoever thought of this little idiotic show should spend more time doing "real things," like voting for RALPH NADER. HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE US FROM DUMBO BUSH AND IDIOT GORE!

10/03/2000 | Yes-place more emphasis on survival--Survivor 1 should have shown more footage of the 2 tribes setting up camp, deciding where to put things, hunting for food, camp items, etc. There was too much footage of them laying around & commenting on camera.

09/09/2000 | The reason I don't like survivor is because it's so fake. If one of them had gotten hurt they could have been in a hospital in an hour. Also the rewards for the challenges were dumb. That would never happen. I say make the show less on alliences and crap and more on REAL SURVIVAL!!

08/31/2000 | Good idea --- it was key that Rich was rewarded for his fising skills, but there was much more room for people like Greg to be valuable to his tribe based on his skills ...

08/30/2000 | Yes, it's clear that this show isn't really about wilderness survival, it's about social survival. But let's do what we can to rectify that situation. How about this: if someone gets voted off the show in Australia, they have a chance to be reinstated into the tribe if they can find their way back to camp after being stripped naked, given a rubber band and a spork, and flown 100 miles into the Outback. I mean, adding that twist is kind of a no-brainer, don't you think?

08/30/2000 | The real of intrique of Survivor came from the human relationships. Who cares who the best carpenter is? I want to know who the Machiavelli is - who understands how people think, and who has the brains to play them off against each other.

08/30/2000 | As everyone saw, the name of the game with Survivor is not necessarily wilderness survival and that's one of the things that made it so good. It was about strategy, forming relationships, and surviving the game.
