I love to see what other people's thoughts are on how the game (Survivor) is progressing. And hearing recommendations for new shows, or shows that are new to me.

has almost caught Survivor as our favourite reality show. Season 2 was amazing.

You can find it on Bittorrent.

As for Survivor, I don't like Redemption Island and am sad they're bringing it back. And bringing back returning players every season isn't optimal, either. The last few seasons (except for HvV) have been quite the letdown. The last good season (again, other than HvV) was Tocantins.

I think the problem is casting, to be honest. Too much of the crazy and good looking, not enough of the smart and intelligent. Cast more game players and fans.

But I agree that the casting has focused too much on people who look good in bikinis than interesting people. It seems like they want to get one crazy cast member each season and the rest pretty people interacting with the crazy.

If you really want drama google "Survivor Sucks Forum" and go over there. Used to watch that site obsessively (never signed up though). They cover everything and naturally every season there are cliques for supporters who chose various candidates, etc.

It maybe has a "you had to be there" feel now, but it still brings me a chuckle .
