Season 1 was boring as fuck but the winner was cool the way she came back. I watched it once years ago bunched between a lot of reality television. It certainly wasn't my favorite foreign version. I really loved SA season one, even if Mze got fucked. He was one of those drop him anywhere and he'll survive types but also had some killer social skills.

The first one was entertaining at times, didn't watch the second.

The editing really is strange/shitty though, totally different than the American version. Two of them banged on the island and they didn't show it or mention it AT ALL. (and one of them was married)

Over here MB woulda been all over that shit.

The quality sucks...especially compared to our US versions and it's nowhere near as good...the storylines aren't as clear or interesting and the challenges BLOW in comparison...they do seem to suffer and get hurt a little more though...maybe a plus, but still not worth watching unless you're desperate in my opinion...

the first one didn't go over too well here thus the second was scaled back. Both are quite slow especially when compared to the U.S versions. Though the prize money of one million pounds (approx 1.9 million U.S dollars ) tax free kinda makes the U.S prize pale in comparison

Worth watching, sure, but the production values SUCK compared to the US versions. Nonexistent suspense at TC, no "suspense music" in the scenes, etc. UK Season 2 seems to go fast because there are only 12 contestants at the beginning.

OTOH, they don't blur things out, and let a lot more "racy" language through--certainly some interesting game moments as well. I just...

I tried watching season 1 but I couldn't bear it anymore after the 3rd episode.

always wanted to see how Charlotte won 7-0.

also to see why Uzma got voted out so early. Seriously, he name is Uzma. I would keep her around a while just for that.
