Survivor TV Show
First Aired: May 2000 on CBS
Created by: Mark Burnett
Survivor TV Show starts with sixteen average Americans who are
brought to a remote island to fend for themselves. The island is usually
a very unforgiving place with no modern conveniences. The sixteen individuals
are divided into two teams. Every few days, one of the teams gather at a
tribal council and vote someone off the island. You can gain immunity by
winning the challenges which are very fun and interesting to watch. They are
usually some sort of obstacle course with a twist. Once a total of six people
remain the tribes merge. After this, it is every person for him or herself.
The last Survivor at the end wins one million dollars!

Critic Reviews of Survivor TV Show

DVD Review
Probably one of the backstabbiest seasons of "Survivor" ever,
castaway Boston Rob aptly described the general tone of the
opening moments: "You can't trust anybody."

DVD Verdict
What an interesting yet sad state of television we live in where a
reality show becomes so popular (or full of itself) that it feels
the urge to create an "All-Stars" version of the show. When did we
cross the line into making these people stars and wanting more of
them? The answer: when Richard Hatch won a million dollars.
Eric Profancik
Pop Matters
While the all-star label implies some special merit, in keeping
with the vague notion of meritocracy that animates the show,
it's not the case. The choices highlight the prerogatives that
actually undermine merit in a fiercely competitive environment
(in the show or the primetime schedule), or at best, force a
redefinition of the very concept.
