A Pleasant Fix for "Survivor "Junkies
I'm not really a television junkie (in fact, "Survivor" is the only show in the last few years that I've faithfully watched every week), but I must admit that I was really looking forward to this DVD/video release. I watched it the very day (O.K., the very hour)I received it from Amazon and, as with the television show, I was rivited to the screen. The video is organized around footage of each contestant in the order that they are voted off the island. You see each survivor's key moments from the program (Jenna's tearful reaction to the missing video of her daughters, Susan's infamous "rat and snake" speech, etc.), as well as segments from their audtion tapes (Sue pretends to be the characters from "Gilligan's Island" while Gretchen surprisingly comes across as a demure preschool teacher who likes to shop). Next, you're treated to the footage of that week's Tribal Council vote, with each contestant explaining the rationale behind his/her vote. Finally, the ejected member addresses the camera for a fairly lengthy farewell speech. An additional feature of my DVD version was a trivia background segment on each contestant listing such earth-shaking information as their favorite hobbies, candy bars, etc. (I chuckled when I read that Rudy's favorite smell was "Food"). Much of the video was a rebroadcast of what was seen on television, although there is a new challenge segment where each contestant guesses how much weight he's lost. Admittedly, some of the original thrill of "Survivor" is lost since you already know who's getting the boot, but this video does provide a very pleasant fix for those "Survivor" junkies who can't wait until the next series.

This DVD really sucks even thow im a big survivor foan

Full season coming--avoid this
On May 18, 2004, the entire first season of Survivor will be released on a 5-disc set. The first four contain the episodes and bonus features. This is the 5th disc in the set. DON'T BUY THIS DISC IF YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE THE BOX SET.

This disc isn't as bad as most people say, but the season set will definitely be the better buy.
