Rating  - Pretty good season, EVERYONE was affaid to play the game!!
It was a pretty good season, but everyone was affaid to make moves in the game. They made alliances on day 2 and stuck with them even though it made them come in 4th, 5th place. The people that wouldn't be affaid of making moves were voted off early or couldn't because players would not budge. It had some great moments in the season too. Like Rich "rubbing" Sue, Sue's break down and then ripping Jeff a new one, Jenna's mom, the godfather move that Boston Rob did to Lex, Boston Robb calling Big Tom son dumb and the Jury meltdown. Also the cast commentaries was great. You could clearly hear that these people have not gotten over it. A fight happen between Shi-ann and Alicia in the commentaries. Also Lex hates Robb so much that he saw some kids with a Boston Redsocks hat and wanted to hurt them. Now that it's under 30 dollars it differnly worth the purchase if your a survivor fan.
Rating  - "Not Just a Game"
After giving Survivor Allstars a 5 star review, I had to rethink my position as I finished watching disc 6. In fact, I'm sure EVERYONE will disagree with what I'm about to say and if I could be 'booed off stage like Jerri was, I'm sure I would be.
I'm not sure how many times the word "Game" was used throughout the DVD but it must have been several hundred times. It's just a game. It's just a game. It's just a game - was used like some reality show mantra. But was it? On further review - 'the game' was anything but. In fact, it is a display of the worse of human nature. Deception, deceit, dishonesty, greed and selfishness. It's a game that someone 'wins' by employing the most ruthless of tactics and I truly believe what Kathy and Lex told Rob at the last tribal council. That its not a game and it that it is, in fact, a true test of personal character and how you want to represent yourself to the world.
I was even more amazed when Jerri spoke up telling the audience that Survivor was NOT just a game and that everything that had happened to the participants took something out of them personally, emotionally and physically and then was booed by the audience to the point she felt she had to leave the show. Of course the audience would not agree with her because that would implicate THEM in that greed, dishonesty and deceit which is an integral part of the show "Survivor". It is the Christians and the Lions all over again. A spectacle of broken relationships, friendships and lives for the spectacle of us - the blood thirsty masses.
And then Jeff (the narrator's) response basically telling Jerri that if she didn't like it she could leave at any time. What an AH. But what else would you expect from the moderator of the show. Mean-spirited throughout. THAT is the basis of Survivor.
So as long as we as a country continue to endorse shows like this - shows that not only condone 'greed at any cost' - but shows that endorse the "Winner" rather than what the group has to offer as a whole (and all for the sake of money) - we will continue to promote self-centeredness, selfishness and the WORST of human character defects that are, in my opinion, anything but "Entertainment".
Rating - Good
I love Survivor and this one doesn't disappoint. I only wish someone else would have won!
