I have watched them all and after #5, got really bored with watching nothing but the bickering, back stabing complaining and all that rhetoric. I love watching the challenges as they are amazing in a lot of ways, and the tribal councils are often interesting, but the rest - not to interested in.
So, are you anxious for the new season to begin? I also love watching the landscape and scenery - some pretty amazing places!

I'm pretty excited. I also get bored sometimes with the same old type of episodes, but I had nothing to watch over the summer except for my soaps so I am happy that my shows are coming back on.
My favorite part of Survivor is watching them compete in these really crazy and physical challenges when they haven't eaten or eaten very little. It's a little sadistic on my part :) but it fascinates me. I would just sit on the sand and say I can't even walk let alone swim to a platform, dive down to release something, drag it back to shore then put the puzzles together. It is crazy!

Yeah, I love those challenges too. PRetty amazing expecially since they have to me created to accomodate literally any human being! Tall, short, fat, thin, male, female, strong, weak - you name it the challenges have to accomodate it. So that is pretty impressive and it makes them really interesting. I do enjoy those. Yeah, the puzzles are pretty good. And hte mind games - I can't do most of those on a full stomach and a good nites rest!!!

Already? Again?
Sorry, my friend, not even the challenges will get me interested in watching it heheheheh
I think in all seasons I have watched the survivor maybe once or twice and just for a few minutes. I personally dislike most reality shows for some reason.
But you are right about the landscape and scenery, they are amazing.

I watch it mainly cause there is nothing else on, but I love the landscape and scenery. I mute or do something else during the camp scenes. Only time I really watch those is if they people are out in waters or in the landscape and I have to see them just to see the scenery!! I like the challenges simply cause they are so amazing to be able to be constructed with the theme of the island they are on and it must accomodate literally every kind of person - tall, short, man, woman...etc. Quite imaginary things.
That is the only reality show I watch. And just cause of those 2 things. Tribal council is sometimes fun but other than that, that's it.

My husband and I have never watched reality TV shows in our lives, and we are not about to start watching them now. I don't even have a Tv hooked up. We are only going to get one when he gets here from Arizona, because we need cable TV before we can get cable internet. when he's not around, I just use the internet at the cafe. LOL

Quite frankly there is not a whole lot on these days worth the time it takes to watch them. Junk and trashy shows is all there is. I watch HGTV

And many like the same! I really enjoyed Aurstailia #2, but then it just seemed to be innodated with the bickering and arguing and fighting and all - it just took the enjoyment out of it for me!

I am very anxious for the show to begin. I love watching every season. You are right, it is alot of bickering and backstabbing, but it is always fun to watch. For some reason I become addicted to watching it.
I like seeing the things that they find to eat. I love watching the challenges. And I love it when they throw a twist of some kind in the show. I usually end up picking a favorite by the 3rd or 4th show, so it makes me want to watch it even more.

Yeah there is some fun to it. Yes, watching what they find to eat and how they cook it is fun to watch. The challenges are one of the main reasons I watch and the landscape. I usually don't pick a favorite at all, unless someone really sticks out - but even then I usually don't even think about it until the tribed merges at the earliest, but more often, down to the last 6-7 survivors. I saw a preview of it and some of the survivors were pictured and saying something about themsleves..sounds like a few really "outspoken" types will be on!!
