Used to watch it, but around season six it became unbearable.

I have maybe seen a total of 30 seconds of it. It's just not my thing.

They cut some memorably histrionic records for the Rocky soundtracks.

And that's that... What is the remainder of the hour for?

Fuck that.

I guess Seinfeld should be happy that there's still a show about nothing on television. My wife is a big fan and I can't get past what an utter waste of time it is.

Watched the first season, and bits of the ones beyond that. (Same with American Idol.)

It's pretty much similar-variations-on-the-same-theme at this point, right?

I guess part of the problem for me at least is that Hatch was never matched let alone bettered.

Ditto. I just could never buy reality TV as representing real life. I'm not a fan of drama for the sake of a camera.

Me and Wolfie like it. It's a fun show.

It is variations on a theme but some seasons/characters are better than others. This one had a few great moments although IMO it was all a little too gimmicky. No reason to invite back Colton, for instance. And Jeff had such a boner for the whole idea of loved one showdown there was very little drama of that sort and people who lost their kin early were better off in the end probably.

Might have voted for Monica to win myself. She had the power couple on the run but never flipped on them. Plus she played well physically.

The search is over for the worst show in TV history. I've never watched a second of it.

i'm sure it's accidentally been on at one point or another in my house, but i've never intentionally watched or mentally processed any of it.

Yep. It's a fascinating sociological study every season. Brilliantly done. Yes, there's always a little bit of sameness to it, but it's expertly written/cast/edited every week.

Once Colton was gone it was a cast of good Survivor players too, with a few great Tribal Council plays (Caleb, Ciera and Big Brother). Really the only "dumb" player was Gervase and he was smart enough to finish 3rd.

I actually forgot it was on until I saw this poll and immediately started watching via dvr.

We watched the last two seasons because Malcolm reminded us of our son but lost interest this year after about two episodes

I like the show. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I like Survivor. It's something my daughter and I do together each week. We liked the blood vs water twist.

I watch very little television. Survivor definitely is not in the mix of what little time I spend watching TV.

I think I watch 2-3 episodes in the second season, to see what all the hoopla was about. I failed to see the attraction and I quickly lost interest. I have never watched a minute of the show since.
