“isn’t that just a trashy reality tv show?”
NO. reality tv yes but trashy absolutely not. Survivor is the ideal of the Genre all other shows strive towards. there is a reason that we are on season 47 (!!) right now and it’s still EXCELLENT
jeff probst is the best most passionate host for a game show ever, he’s invested in what he does and in the game. the show is funny and entertaining and human and engaging. the show has been doing “social experiments” since before every reality show decided to call themselves “social experiments.”
basic premise of the show is that players start out on a tribe where they are competing against another tribe (or tribes, depending on the season) in challenges. every episode the tribe that loses the “immunity challenge” has to vote someone out. THEN once the tribes are small enough, they “merge” and then everyone is on one big tribe and it becomes an individual game with individual immunity challenges. alliances from the early part of the season may stay or may not!
it’s just the best reality show and it’s got heart and it’s got soul and it’s entertaining as hell. please watch it. best seasons are probably Heroes vs Villains and Cagayan so that’s where i would start if i were you. you’ll be quoting jeff probst before you know it. i grew up on survivor and rediscovered my love for it as an adult and you all deserve to experience this, too.

So, it has come to my attention that Survivor, the island survival reality tv show, is IN right now.
Which is fascinating to me, because I grew up watching Survivor with my mom. She has seen every single episode over the course of the show's 20+ years. I watched maybe 10ish years of them with her.
This show is great for some reason, always has been. Go ahead, watch a season or two.
I associate this Heroes vs. Villains season with the most carefree part of my childhood.

the way to plant roots is to stay in the same place for as long as possible! you don’t get that by driving out of town for every meal and beverage and thing you want
