Survivor hammered BB in the ratings. The problem was, as said above, that it was conveyed as a documentary as opposed to a game where you outwit, outplay & outlast. I don't think the average Brit is as evil as the average American & as such I don't think Brits would go along with a mean-spirited show. Plus, the...

Just finished the first season. The cast is amazing! Zoe is so damn hilarious, and Jackie is funny too in her quiet witty way. Shame they couldn't have won unless they faced against each other or that vile cunt Eve.

I can't believe Charlotte is married. When she declared "I miss my husband", I literally went WTF!? And now I find out she fucked another guy during the show. Best winner ever.

Why do you think Survivor failed in the UK???

ITV didnt really communicate to viewers what it was about, didnt advertise it enough, SHITTY editing. they didnt really know what survivor was about themselves or what had made it successful in the US imo.

You just know if they had fucked over here MB would have had a camera hidden up her snatch to film it.

So I finished the first season. Love the winner. <3 They were amazing, and would have made an excellent contestant over here.

I read that Charlotte and Adrian fucked before watching it, so I was totally shocked when he went, since they hadn't showed it yet. Why the hell not? There were minor confessionals of people saying they were close, but that was about it. You just know if they had fucked over here MB would have had a camera hidden up her snatch to film it.

I just started watching UK S1 and am on the second episode. I'm calling NO FAIR! Why on earth were they given canned fruit and meat? Why oh why were they allowed to drink water when they were eating butok?

Seems to cheapen it somehow.

I'm just finishing the fourth episode of the first UK season. I remember the winner from reading it somewhere, but it seems pretty good so far. The challenges are definitely low-rent and the editing is a bit awkward (I miss the swelling music from our version that lets you know when someone wins a challenge ), but the people are interesting. Very...

I thought Zoe & Jackie were pretty good in terms of strategy.

I think, it kind of sucked that Jackie got shut out 7-0. She had a very very good opening jury speech. I'm surprised that no one tried to use that kind of jury speech. I love how Eve thinks Jackie was an awful player. Jackie outplayed Eve twice. She blindsided Eve's alliance mate Sarah...and then Zoe. Zoe did a good job in episode 4 when she pretended that she was concending defeat.

I just got both UK seasons and the Australia season in the mail.

I had already seen the first uk season so I started with number 2 and I actually am quite enjoying it. I don't find it boring at all. I love Susannah and Dave. I even like him more than I did Mick I think. He's the Rodger to Mick's Rudy type persona.

I'm looking forward to starting Australia afterwards since i have heard so many good things about it.

John had the million pounds in his pocket...then he has to be distracted by a silly ant in the middle of the last immunity challenge, making him jump ahead ten minutes in his prediction. Sadder, he ended up being at fifty minutes instead of sixty, deadly accurate time that would have sealed him the necklace for sure.

The other guy in the final...

I liked Richard and Andy. Charlotte was a very deserving winner. Then, next season, I liked Dave and Jonny. Dave was a really good person to win. However, season 2 was dreadfully boring, and after that crapfest, Survivor UK got cancelled. Good riddance!

Oh man, here's some more great reasons to love Australian Survivor...

2) The person that won the car reward had never driven in their entire life. At the reunion show, they admitted they had already sold it because they...

So I have been watching this for the first time the past few days and just wanted to see who else has seen it and their takes on it. I just got finished with the mege episode which definitely proved Brits have a lot more stamina and are a lot more determined than Americans. But I already knew that from the Brit Big Brother where they stayed in a box all day and night just for a luxary meal.

But getting back to the point for immunity they did the Colleen, Kelly balance beam standing...
