Summary: I survived this tape
Review: It was an "ok" viewing--I was expecting more outrageous events or happenings. It seemed more or less a review, which is fine, but I was expecting more things that I didn't see on tv. They went into the Kimmi and Alicia fight more in depth, which was ok, but again, we saw it on tv (without the cursing). Maybe I expected more going into it, but it was a bit of a let down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Australian Outback DVD -- Great Cast, Not-So-Great DVD
Review: It's certainly my favorite Survivor season, and I've been watching since the beginning!

This DVD I found in many ways to be better than the Season One DVD, but that's simply because of the cast and the way the DVD is organized. The extras on this one are pretty nice as well -- you even can go to the expanded Survivor 2 website directly via the DVD just by popping it in the computer. Of course, this can get annoying when you are just trying to WATCH the DVD on the computer and it keeps trying to go to the website. But I can overlook that.

Survivor Season 2 is only two hours long. How did they condense a full season of 14 hours into only two? Alot of the goodies were skipped, unfortunately, and will be skipped until CBS decides to put out a complete season DVD (hint hint). You'll be waiting for the next immunity challenge, and it will skip directly to the Tribal Council. Yuck!

I liked that this DVD seemed to touch on all the most dramatic moments of the season (all my favorite parts were there) so I can live with choppy editing. The nasty bug eating challenge was still there. The Jerri vs Colby nastiness was still there. So not ALL of the goodies were taken out.

Also included were clips of the audition tapes of these survivors, which I loved seeing. Other than that, there's not a ton of 'outrageous' footage that you've never seen before (or CBS would have shown it).

It's not a perfect DVD, but if you're a Survivor Fan, it's a must-own anyways.

Summary: Big Disappointment
Review: Jerri doesn't get her kit off. So in a lot of ways it's like, whatever, you know?

Summary: Elisabeth Filarski.. MY Soul Survivor
Review: The Best Season Of All! Sadly, this is only a 2-hour highlight DVD with never-before-seen footage. But not what you might think. Most of that are interviews or audition tapes. There is no nudity in this DVD version. Kel Gleason was the man I cheered for to win and Mike Skupin I thought early on would be a sure winner, but Survivor contains many unexpected surprises by nature or an act of God. We all remember Mike when the smoke from the campfire made him pass out and he fell in the fire. You will NOT see any additional footage of that here. I wish a complete, all episodes, unedited, uncensored version of Survivor 2 were made. On this DVD in the special features section is a retrospective interview of each Survivor on the CBS "The Early Show".

Summary: Rent it instead
Review: The DVD is good for those who didn't follow the show when it was on, as it gives a good summary of the series as a whole. However, for those who followed it, as I did, the DVD was quite a disappointment. It just seemed as though they showed a couple of extra minutes of what was already seen on TV. There were little "outrageous moments" on the DVD. What was nice, though, were the Tribal Councils, in which each contestant's 'confessions' on camera were shown, instead of only a few seconds of it. Also included are excerpts from each contestant's audition tape and interview, which are quite entertainig. However, overall, the DVD was a disappointment and added very little to what was already shown.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Season One DVD Much Better
Review: This DVD was well produced, but lacked almost anything new. Nice if you want a recap of the second Survivor series, not very interesting if your memory exceeds that of a goldfish. Lacks special features and additional information one would expect.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Can't be any much worse than this
Review: This has got to be the worst DVD in my collection. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge Survivor fan. If you thought the first Survivor DVD was bad, don't even think of getting this second one. CBS did a very poor job of assembling this DVD. They did not even manage to get the main essence of the Outback contestants into this DVD. The DVD features are equally bad (just clips from the Early Show). I think the best part of the whole DVD was the magnificent shot of a magpie crapping (literally). That pretty much sums up this DVD. CBS should just release the entire series on DVD and stop all this "Greatest and Most Outrageous Moments" nonsense.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL! SURVIVOR IS THE BEST!
Review: THIS IS A WONDERFUL DVD, I have every episode on tape, but still went out and bought the DVD and saw all the great added bonus footage! See what everyone said when they voted the person out!...Includes The Most Outrageous moments in the episodes, the challenges, and the tribal councils, if you're a fanatic like me, you'll love this...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great improvement over the first season!
Review: This is what the first one should have been. The entire production is well put together. Their are highlights from the challenges, conversations, and much more that we didn't see the total picture off. This disk keeps your interest and holds onto it firmly. A better job has been done on covering all of the team members. This is one not to miss if your a survivor buff. Even if you don't buy it, this one is worth renting.
