Summary: Almost Fulfilling....
Review: I am a true Survivor buff, matter of fact I am having a Survivor party on Super Bowl Sunday..lol Aanyway, I loved this DVD, but missed alot of footage I thought would be on there. The jist of the film is the survivors and their audition tapes (Sue and Sean, surprise they made it.lol), interviews and footage of them as they were booted off the Isle starting with Sonja.Dont' get me wrong there was some not before seen footage, but not vey much. The best part of this DVD was the producers overview of the show, that was fascinating to hear some of the stage set stories and other stuff such as getting ready to send a parent or other relative over there for the one challenge where Sean won, and got to go see his Dad. To my dismay there was not much ado about the challenges, which I found creative and and some of them just plain unbelievable. I recommend this DVD highly, I just wish it had more fun on it :o)

Summary: Good Video, Wished for more outtakes
Review: I got the video thinking it was mainly about the scenes that didn't make it on the air. Sadly, it was mainly a outline of the season. Althought it is nice to have, I hope the Survivor Production decide to put all the episodes on tape for sale. The best part was the special presentation where the host Jeff and the Creator Mark, talked about the behind the scenes of Survivor. That part gets 5 stars from me. the rest of the tape gets 4. Hope austrailian outback survivor is as good as the first one. =)

Summary: Was Hoping For Better
Review: The title of the video led me to think that it would be clips of scenes that didn't make or couldn't be shown on national TV but, with few exceptions, it was basically nothing more than highlights of the TV program itself. To avoid nausea, fast-forward through the scenes with Susan in it.

Summary: Just What This SURVIVOR Fan Has Been Looking For
Review: ME: Hi. My name is Greg, and I'm a reality show addict. THE GROUP, IN UNISON: Hi, Greg. Welcome. Just the other day I reviewed "The Real World You Never Saw," a DVD with new footage from the most recent season of MTV's "Real World." Although the new footage was good, I thought there wasn't nearly enough of it, and the DVD was not worth its cost. Fortunately, that wasn't the case with the Survivor DVD. I thought it really delivered and that I got a lot for what I paid. The bulk of the DVD summarizes everything that happened throughout the season. It does so by putting the spotlight on each successive castaway in the order in which they were voted off. The DVD blended new and previously aired footage. I thought the mix was very good. The previously seen material was stuff I definitely wanted to see again anyway. The new footage was stuff that really helped flesh out who these people are and how they interacted with each other on the island. (If only some of the weaker reality shows had such good editors.) I really felt as if this DVD helped me to get to know the castaways better. In addition, to simply summarizing the season, there were a few segments that weren't necessary for understanding what happened but were great to see. For example, there was a challenge toward the end (right before Colleen got kicked off) where the castaways got to look at themselves in a mirror and guess how much weight they had lost. The person who got the closest received a small food reward. I assume this was never aired because of time limitations, but I was very glad it was included on the DVD. This is exactly the kind of stuff I wanted to see. From reading the Survivor book, I know there was another unaired reward challenge that took place on the first or second day on the island. If I remember correctly, Joel was the winner. I was surprised that this challenge wasn't also on the DVD, but perhaps the producers felt that it wasn't interesting enough. Anyway, I enjoyed the DVD very much, and I definitely felt that it was worth the money. If you've never seen SURVIVOR, you might have a bit of difficulty following what's going on on the DVD. (Wouldn't it be cool if the whole series were eventuially released on DVD? I'd love that.) However, if you watched and enjoyed the show, I can't imagine you not enjoying the DVD. It's the perfect thing to tide us over for a few weeks until the new series begins airing.

Summary: Enough Already!
Review: Some people just don't want to let their 15 minutes of fame end. This show is an example of how low people's expectations have sunk in regards to television. Why any intelligent human being in his right mind would BUY this tape or DVD is perplexing. What new "insights" about the show could one possibly derive from this item? It only makes me wish that they had placed Burmese tiger traps, anti-personnel mines and cobras on that island. If you have no life and watching the filmed exploits of a bunch of attention-starved, back-stabbing, bumbling nitwits is your idea of a good time, then this tape is for you.

Summary: Survivor is a Passion....
Review: Anyone who did not enjoy the "Survivor" game show must not have watched closely enough. The show had everything a viewer could want--adventure, ruthless human interaction, comedy, some cute people to look at, and a shocking conclusion. Anyone who liked the show is certain to love this uncensored video. It finally allows us to see some of the things that were only hinted at on the CBS show. A+

Summary: A little piece of nostalgia for the die-hard fan in you...
Review: For those of you who enjoyed the series as much as I did, this collection of clips provides a welcome glimpse back into the lives of our favourite castaways. There are many never-before-seen segments but also several missing moments as well. The format of the video is basically as follows: 1) the intro (the castaways meet for the first time on the boat and swim to the island) 2) the body (the audition tapes of each castaway, the events that led up to their ejection at the tribal council, the actual tribal councils themselves, and the dejected castaways' comments afterwards) 3) and the finale (an interview with producer Mark Burnett and host Jeff Probst about some of the behind-the-scenes experiences they faced with the show - an interesting and amusing revelation) In my opinion, the video plays a little too heavily on the inter-personal relationships of the castaways and less on the great immunity challenges that made the show so exciting to watch every week. Also it lacks some of the great speeches from the final tribal council (most notably Rich and Kelly's rebuttle speeches). The problem you have with a compilation of this nature is that your favourite parts get edited and cut to save time. It is a mystery to me why the show's producer decided not to release the entire series in its full length as a Christmas gift set or something. This would have allowed people who didn't see the series (or missed some of the episodes) to see them in their entirety, the way they were meant to be seen. I know many friends of mine who would have bought a collection like that. So my final analysis is this: if you haven't seen the series, don't buy it unless you are VERY curious about it. You won't get the same experience as you would have had seeing the original series, and therefore you won't get much out of it. But for those of you who have seen the series, loved it, and like me, want to relive it, go ahead and pay the. . . money . . .. The video offers extra footage and insight fromBurnett and Probst that die hard fans will probably enjoy.

Summary: The Top Ten unwatchable shows
Review: This show, with it;s silly premise and real questionable antics make it one of the top ten most unwatchable shows ever made. Right along side Beavis and Buthead, Howard Stern, and the Jerry Springer show.
