     This Survivor is a contest where sixteen people are brought to Australia and split up into two tribes consisting of the people below. Each tribe (or team) competes in a series of events to win control of the immunity idol. If they win immunity they don't have to vote one of their team members out of Australia, the opposite team has to go to a tribal council and vote their least wanted member out. These sixteen contestants want to be the ultimate survivor! The one person who wins gets one million dollars. This exciting show can be seen on CBS at eight o'clock, seven o'clock central every Thursday night for thirteen weeks.

Commentaries:
     Michael David Hill: I think this show is somewhat strange. Although, it is a little interesting, I don’t think its worth it just for money. Trivia questions are much easier. There are no doctors or any one accept them and camera men. I'm not the adventurous type, so maybe this isn't right for me. I will probably watch it, just to see how it goes.

      Kimberly Anne Beever: I personally think that this was a good idea. It gives a person a chance to win money for what ever they want. I think that the artificial setting with some things, like artificial rocks, are interesting and neat. 

        Beth Hall: The show "Survivor" is a waste of time. Who cares if anyone can walk across hot coals? Is it really important to learn how to eat a bucket of bugs? If you want to make easy money, go out and get a lotto ticket like everyone else, and save the television waves for a good show

      Catlyn Doubet: “ I think that the new Survivor is the coolest thing that is on television. I mean, this show is something to look forward to at the end of a long week. I come home from school on Thursday night and sit down and watch it before I go to bed. People work really hard to make this show work. More than 49,000 people applied to be on this show. I know that a lot of people applied just for the money, but I know a man who wanted to apply only to experience it and  to have some fun. I personally would apply just to out in the wilderness. Some of the stuff is artificial, but is also really neat, and I would love to just go out and see the place! 

      Sarah Morris: I think that "Survivor" is a good show. It is fun to watch you can really get into the show. It may not be the easiest way to make money. But it is surly the funniest way to make that much money. The events are look really hard. The looks on the winner's faces are fun to see.
