But what of it? Several of you have said that your the only Survivor fan you know,I'm the only one I know who is obsessed with the show like I am(I know people who watch it, not as casual fans, but they certainly wouldn't waste their time here recording their thoughts over it either). I think China showed that the audience likes smaller casts, no matter how complacent people here have been with larger casts,so there is still mainstream interest. But Survivor fanatics do remind me alot of Trekkies

Over time, it's become less and less mainstream and more and more of a cult show, but really that's been happening ever since the first couple seasons had ended and Survivor lost its nationwide appeal. With that being said, it's still an incredibly popular show, all things considered, and its "small cult fan base" is greatly exaggerated. Like LSH pointed out, the ratings just don't support that idea.

Star Trek got horrible ratings and was canceled after 3 seasons. Survivor has been a top 10 Nielsen rated show for 16 seasons. That's a big difference. Calling Survivor a cult show is like calling ER a cult show.

My accountant decide to pop in on me unexpectedly during the Micronesia episode where Eliza played the "stick". This irritated me so I forced him to wait until the episode was over. While we were watching it, he eventualtly volunteered information about Ozzy, James etc. which you would only know if you viewed regularly.

That guy looks just like Richard Hatch". I asked him if he watched the show and he was like "Yeah". So I tried to talk to him about it, and he had no clue what I was talking about. And another time, back in middle school, this other guy thought he saw Rudy. Then I started talking to him about Survivor and he was totally clueless as to what i was talking about. I hardly ever mention my Survivor viewing habits unless someone brings it up and seems genuinly interested.It really does feel like a cult show
