or 18 castways, make the good camp up for reward every time). ]]></description>

There are some thuings though that can&#39;t be explained by economics. Like they don&#39;t even line up the extinguished torches on a platform anymore, they
haven&#39;t done that since Amazon I believe. Also, I really miss Fallen Comrades. And if they are going to use luxery items as a prize in a reward challenge,
why have they only done so once? Its... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s possible they don&#39;t have the rights to the generic Survivor music some seasons.  I mean, I&#39;m sure they have to negotiate those from Russ
Landau, or whoever, on a season by season basis.  Maybe they are just being cheap and hoping the fans don&#39;t notice.  It wouldn&#39;t surprise me.  Survivor
has always been famous for being a high profit compared to low cost show.  Maybe this is how they do it.  When the sponsors dry up, they start cutting corners.

			<description><![CDATA[ In light of last nights episode as well as the recent thrashing of me by a few posters over my optimistic appraisal of suture seasons ratings, I am just going
to turn this into a thread where I can hopefully get my thoughts on the show into coherent criticism. First of all, I enjoyed last nights episode, but it also
highlighted something that has been bothering me for a while. I have always said that it is not the cast that makes a boring season, it is the editing. My
question is: Why the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I rewatched the first epi of Pearl Islands and they had like a full 24 minutes or so of air time before they every talked about the challenge.  I felt like we
understood each tribe a whole lot better.  I enjoy the challenges a ton, but I also would enjoy some time that has depth of character.
<br>
<br>
Last nights challenges were decent.  I&#39;m glad they we&#39;re unique, that&#39;s always a nice surprise. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The challenges are, and always have been, the best element of Survivor. It is the only important part of the game.  Nothing else matters.  The fan favoritism
of players like Stephenie, Tom, Terry, Ozzy, Terry, and Ozzy was completely well-deserved.  This show is 100% challenges.
