Summary: Wow
Review: Survivor season one was the greatest season in survivor history . Survivor Aulstralia was the only season I think to top the first. It seems on this dvd we will see more than we did when we first watched the show 4 years ago. We get to hopfully see extra footage that wasn't shown on tv. What also seems intristing is that we get to see the sixteen castaways travel from Las Angeles to Borneo that seems cool, and the post shows. ever since this show aired I've been hooked and I have been waiting for a box set to come out and finally it's here. I also want to hear what Jeff Probst has to say along with Richard Hatch (which we all now who was the winner), and Rudy Boesch, and Gervase Petterson on how they felt there stay was on the island. This dvd will deff be good and I really hope that all the other seasons will come out on dvd im sure they will.

Summary: NOT JUST FOR FANS!
Review: This is the group that made the rules of Survivor! To me these are the all-stars! Remember Collen and how she became America's Sweetheart? Well you can watch her and everyone else! Hard to belive this was 4 years ago! America couldn't get enough of this! Each episode was gaining viewers! By the time the show ended America would see "Richard HAtch" win the big prize! Here is a fact about the final night! Survivor the Final episode had more viewers than the Oscar Show! No Survivor season has matched this group, even the all-star season ( I have fingers crossed for Rupert and Shii-Ann)

Summary: THE GODFATHER OF REALITY SHOWS
Review: Ok...I know that MTV's the Real World came before Survivor, by many years...But it was Survivor that thrust Reality shows into American homes and have virtually taken over the airwaves these days with multitudes of Survivor clones and others...Of course you know the story...16 castaways are marooned on an island near Borneo and split into two tribes. Each week they compete against each other in contests for reward and immunity. The tribe losing the immunity challenge has to go to tribal council and vote one member out until there are two members left. Then a council of 9 former castaways votes for the winner of a one million dollar prize. Season one had probably the shows most memorable cast including tough, truck driving Sue Hawk, former Navy seal and senior citizen Rudy Boesch, cute Colleen Haskell, and of course, season one winner Richard Hatch. Each week was a fascinating look at these people scheming and planning to save themselves and get rid of someone else. Richard made himself invaluable to the tribe due to his ability to catch fish and feed the tribe. This skill kept him in the tribe even through his arrogance and refusal to help out in any other of the tribe work. Strangely the openly gay Hatch who loved to walk around nude (a brilliant tactic by the way) bonded with the tough, old, and very anti-gay Rudy. You'll recall some faces that you may have forgotten such as Sonia who was the first person EVER voted out of Survivor, Dirk, the ultra religious man who annoyed everyone, Greg & Colleen who were Survivors first romance, And Gervase, who annoyed most of the women with chauvanist comments about them being like cows. The final episode was notable for Sue telling Kelly she would not give her water if she were dying of thirst. Greg cast the deciding vote giving Richard the victory. The DVD set also includes the reunion show as well as a number of other special features. Survivor is still the king of Reality TV! This DVDonly cements that status.

Summary: Survivor: Borneo
Review: I recommend watching the first installment of survivor series. Creator Mark Burnett selected an interesting group people to be stranded on an island. Sixteen castaways compete for prizes, food, and the grand prize of 1 million dollars. However, each week the tribal council votes off one their one off the island. Can alliance of four castaways outplay, outwit, and outlast rest of the castaways? Buy the dvd to find out.

Summary: Surviving the island
Review: I've been fascinated by Survivor since it's debut in 2000. The simple premise, 16 Americans stuck on an island, fending for themselves and subsequently devouring each other until only one top dog is left, is just extremely watchable. This is the DVD box set of the complete first season. Even though I saw this when it aired on TV, it was still exciting even though I knew who won. It was just very neat to see everyone get picked off and alliances forming. If you've seen the latest seasons of Survivor, you may be shocked because of how low-key everything is. The editing and the repetitive music are kind of off-putting, especially in the first few episodes. But the castaways, the characters, are what makes this season especially fascinating. The rotund schemer, Richard Hatch, is the most interesting to watch as he develops from a whiny corporate leader to the master of island life. I only give the DVD 4 stars because of a lack of bonus features. Other than two audio commentaries, there's just a retrospective interview, a David Letterman top 10 list, and an unnarrated and uncohesive look at the Survivors leaving L.A. for Borneo. Also available in this set is the "Greatest & Most Outrageous Moments" DVD, which is previously available, and is simply a highlight reel of the first series. It is uncensored, though, so if you want to hear salty language or see Richard Hatch's butt in all its glory, well, there you go.

Summary: Survior - The Complete first Season
Review: I love this set. The only thing I did not like is the listing of who gets the boot on the back cover of each disc. The whole set was wonderfully done. The extra material was great. I really hope the remainder of the Survivor shows is put onto dvd. I plan on getting them when they come out.

Summary: Snakes and rats.
Review: Survivors first season was classic TV. An original, unexpected trendsetter. Marc Burnett is a fantastic storyteller and the cast he selected is fantastic. Unfortunatly if you've already watched it on CBS watching it again is almost like watching old weather reports and frankly there isn't enough "plot" to sustain multiple viewings. The only reality show i'd probably buy is PARADISE HOTEL since it's format was more like a lightly scripted soap. As for Survivor all the media overkill has killed all joy in watching it more than once. EP

Summary: Insight
Review: This DVD offers commentary by Richard, Rudy, Gervase and Jeff Probst during the 1st and final episodes. I found it very interesting to watch with the commentary and enjoyed listening to the 4 guys give their insight during the show. This Season of "Survivor" was my favorite because of it's freshness, and the originality of it and it a definite MUST GET for anyone, whether they've seen the show or not. The only thing I didn't like is how they listed who gets voted off each episode on the DVD cover, but that's not enough to sway my vote to give this DVD 5 stars!!!!! I'm looking forward to future seasons of "Survivor" to be released on DVD. Buy Season 1 - great entertainment and definitely something you'll appreciate to have years down the road.

Summary: SURVIVOR IS (STILL) HOT
Review: Being a late-comer to the "Survivor" series (only starting with "Pearl Islands") I was thrilled to see that they had decided to release the earlier series on DVD. Of course, after watching "All Stars", I knew who everyone (Rich, Sue, Rudy & Jenna) was and who had won the first series, "Survivor: Borneo". BUT, this did not take from my enjoyment of it one bit! Firstly, to those of you reading who have never seen this series (And if not, why?)BEWARE OF THE PACKAGING! It's unfortunate that on the back of the box-set it reveals the winner's name. Furthermore, each of the four discs of the actual series gives a synopsis of each episode, and, also, the name of the person voted off at each tribal council. Obviously the set is directed towards people who have seen it and are reliving the magic again. The fifth disc (Yes, there are five!) is a special previously released disc of the greatest moments from the series (an excellent touch) and is well worth a watch. The fourth disc contains a few special features ('Survivors leave Los Angeles', 'David Letterman-Top Ten' & a 'Look back with Rich, Rudy and Gervais') but they're nothing to go mad about. On the other hand, the documentary entitled 'Survivor: The Phenomenon' (on the fifth disc) is good, with a little insight into the making of the series. Compared to some of the later series, I was amazed at how remarkably similar some of the elements were (the initial marooning of the survivors, for example), though I'm extremely glad that the producers decided to get rid of that ever-so-cheesy gong at the entrance to tribal council. Some of the challenges are simple, yet all are enjoyable, and there's something ever so raw about the camera-work that really seems to...well...work. The picture and sound quality are of the highest degree and make it so much more enjoyable. With four episodes played on each of the discs (excluding the last two) I found it really difficult to tear myself away from the television after one sitting. I now sit here twiddling my thumbs, patiently awaiting the release of "Survivor; Austrailian Outback. For the mean time, I am very content to play "Borneo" over and over again. (Sorry, I couldn't resist: Isn't Colleen the hottest thing you've ever seen in those blue lycra shorts?!)
