Summary: Not much action
Review: I bought this DVD hoping I would get to see all the competitions and action I missed when this show aired. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until they release a season one set which I hope they do. If you're looking to see the action from the contests, look elsewhere because it's certainly not on this DVD. Although enjoyable, this DVD only highlights the tribal council ceremonies and interviews with the contestants.

Summary: A Masterful Record of a TRUE American Phenomenon
Review: For those of us who have seen some or all of Survivor, this DVD allows us to relive what was a truly unique, unexpected phenomenon. And though this DVD may not bear limitless repeat viewings, it is something I certainly enjoyed viewing in its entirety, and will perhaps again in the years ahead.However, for those who have NOT seen Survivor, what an opportunity this is to witness the series for the very first time! The drama builds quite nicely without commercial interruption, and rather than waiting seven days between each episode, you can go at your own pace. The extras are nice, though I wish they had added still more unused footage. Given the unbelievable amounts of footage CBS recorded, it seems like they could have given us a bit more. The Survivor Season One DVD has won a permanent spot in my collection. This critic has spoken.

Summary: Survivor Seasson 1
Review: ayone who loved the show has to buy this DVD. The out takes were outrageous and very interesting. The extras that were featured on the DVD were excellent and gives a lot of information that is hard to find. Even if you didn't like the show I think you should own this DVD just for the fun and excitement. The only flaw was the uncensored Nudity of Rich and only Rich, but only the back.

Summary: For Fans of Gilligan's island
Review: Actually i would much rather watch that then this poor excuse for a show. What's it supposed to be. Talk show, Game show, another example of how low television standards have sunk. The debate goes on, but one thing is clear.Stay away from television and head to the movies instead.

Summary: The Right Kind of Viewer Will Give This Five Stars
Review: This video is an overview of the original season of Survivor with some extras as noted above. It's a good review of the two tribes that started all the hub bub, but it may not be for everybody. I encourage you to watch this Survivor video if one or more of the following applies to you: 1. You missed some of Survivor 1 but greatly enjoyed the episodes you saw.
2. You are in some type of Fantasy Bowl Survivor, either at work, with friends, or on the CBS website.
3. You're on the CBS Survivor's mailing list and get excited to see the previews for the next Survivor episode in your inbox.
4. You have ever purchased an official Survivor buff or any other type of memorabilia.
5. You want to catch the attention of someone you know to be a Survivor fanatic.
6. You have applied, or would like to apply, to be a contestant.
7. You want to re-live the Greg-talking-to-a-coconut moments.
8. You own the Survivor board game.
9. You were on the first season of Survivor.
10. You need detailed instructions on how to build a Superpole.
11. Each of the items on this list is completely comprehendable to you. If you're only feeling lukewarm about the series, this video isn't going to turn you into a fan. I would recommend Survivor: Pearl Islands for that. :) And now I have spoken.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: What a waste of time. As an avid fan of Survivor I felt that the money spent was not worth it. This was boring, boring, boring and there was no excitement whats so ever and good have gone to a fine resturant for the money spent on this garbage. :(

Summary: Avid Survivor Fan---Not that impressed
Review: I bought this for my parents since they didn't get to watch the first season. I would have rather watched the full season again than what they considered to be the "highlights". The DVD starts out showing the castaways upon the boat and traveling to the island. Then you get to see them arriving on the island and setting up camp. From here, the DVD starts introducing the castaways by showing their audition tapes, their audition interview and then a few highlights of their stay on the island. Then they proceed to show you each person getting voted off and what they said after they were eliminated. They follow the order of who was voted off first, second, etc. The DVD also shows a few challenges and more emotional moments of the series, but they didn't show the best parts of the season. I watched the whole first season and was really surprised of the things they left out during the editting of this DVD. I was very dissappointed and thought that this would be something that my parents would love since they had started watching the shows in the last few seasons. But my dad was nodding off during the viewing and it looked like several (my whole family was watching) were getting bored and watching the clock. It did cause a little discussion after we were finished, but we were mainly talking about what we missed. I really wish they would have shown just the highlights of the season instead of all the interviews and auditions. Watching the whole season in its entirity would have been nice too.

Summary: Bummer highlight DVD. But, YES the gay man won!
Review: Bummer! This is only a 2-hour-15 minutes DVD of highlights from the first Survivor. The nudity is nothing really. A rear-end shot of one survivor and Richard sitting down "tucked under" and walking naked. But no private parts seen here. Having not seen all of the episodes of Survivor. I was hoping for a complete, unedited, uncensored version, with all episodes Collector's DVD set. I guess it is not possible. One special feature is the "Survivor: Inside the Phenomenon", a 20-minute documentary, which I found to be quite interesting, especially how fair the game is, the exhausting hard work Producer, Mark Burnett and the Art Department can do, and how they managed to surprise the Challenge Survivor Winner, Sean, with a surprise visit from his father on the yacht at such short notice. How they got his father there at such short notice is remarkable.

Summary: Not impressive
Review: Being a survivor junkie I was hoping to enjoy this one. I didn't. This seems to be a few highlights from the first season, yes, all of Susan's dialogue is in there, and so is Rudy's not liking Richard in a homosexual way, but it doesn't have a lot of substance. It is highlights from each episode, but there isn't a whole lot that you haven't seen before. Some is uncensored dialogue, but you don't see much of many of the cast members. You do see a lot of the final four, others are in there as well, but they don't get the features that those four do. Personally I'd rent this one but I wouldn't purchase it.
