I thought maybe I stumbled upon the wrong show last night, but no! It
was indeed the SURVIVOR premiere. Cramping, thorn extraction,
vomiting (dry and liquid), makeshift slings comforting blown biceps,
Bobby Jon's near-seizure, etc. Set up a first aid tent, Probst!
Burnett needs to do more of this. I want to see human detritus
writhing around in pain. And Polar Bears. And a reward challenge
involving a hatch. And maybe even Jamie Farr. Final immunity
challenge: an epic battle between "faith" and "science".
Steph still rules.
Comments
AMEN. This is the show I envisioned when the Survivor concept first floated. People being forced into medic/hunter/gatherer mini-societies and then slowly withering away. I actually assumed that the sole Survivor would be the one who could go the longest seizing up, eating sand, and talking to volleyballs -- and that the show would chronicle a bunch of folks either crying uncle or straight dying.
Nice to see a little glimpse of how that version of the show might have turned out. Keep it up, Burnett.

Oh, and the Steph inclusion was a flat out brilliant move. You never care about these no-names (HawkinsBOOM excluded) when the show first starts. Way to help us invest early!
