Survivor was a pretty good show in the first season. Now it's fucking ridiculous. The trend is usually the same throughout all the current redundant reality shows; the premise starts out as interesting and compelling, then with initial success the rabid commercialization begins. The first season of Big Brother was genuinely entertaining. Of course, it wasn't the height of culture but it was fairly decent. Now look at it. The formula nowadays is to find a few guys with six-packs and big pecs, mix together with a few big-titted blondes sans brains, chuck in some alcohol and presto; television that appeals to shaved chimps, aka, 10-17 year old teenagers. Survivor is the same.
How many places can they friggin' go to? Survivor: Micronesia? A nice, warm, secure jungle? Fuck that. It's not fun anymore. The 'contestants' are all the same generic, boring, cookie-cutter fitness freaks plus the one token black guy. It's pretty fucking gay to call a show Survivor if there is no risk of actual death. I think there are some ways to improve Survivor, and make it really live up to it's name:
1. The contestants must have a criminal record. Murder is preferable, but endless violence might get a bit boring after a while (not likely though). Throw in some smarmy, sleazy, slimy tax frauds and con-men. Make it a real game of wits.
2. No more of this tropical paradise shit. I'm sick of the jungle. I wanna see Survivor: Auschwitz or Survivor: Middle of the Pacific Ocean in one life raft. Maybe even Children's Survivor: Catholic Priest's bedroom. Make the contestants actually struggle to survive.
3. Elimination means just that; lots and lots of killing. Fail a task? Send little Johnny a video message, because it's gonna be the last time the ugly shit hears your voice. Bitch.
4. Cannibals. How many movies and myths are ultra awesome because they involve a group of stupid, ignorant westerners marooned on an island full of blood-thirsty savages?
5. Zombies.
I'd watch this show, and I bet you would too. Reality t.v is only shit now because the network executives don't have the balls to make it reflect actual reality. They need more violence, more death, more destruction and more cameras. After all, that's what people really want to see, right?
