You know, I have watched Survivor since the first edition was aired in the summer of 2000 (has it REALLY been that long??), and I have to say that some seasons have been good, and some have been boring at best. The first two were awesome, and I think my favourite season was season 7, where they were in the Pearl Islands (though, that was largely due to Rupert). But, I think after the All-Stars season, the show began to get less interesting to me. Some may say that the first season was bad enough, but for real fans of the show, you know that they're always looking for something different so that they'll keep watching.
This new idea that they have is rather controversial, no doubt about it. But, you know, controversy is nothing new in Survivor. In each season, there's always been some detail that people have tried to boycott and each time, they've still aired it.
A lot of people will likely disagree with me, but I see Survivor as the ultimate social experiment. I think it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
And, who knows? For season 14, maybe they'll have rich people vs. poor people!
