The
TV show
isn't what I was hoping for. Here's why:
The show is not on a
deserted island
, it is on an island with a
luxury hotel
on the other side.
The contestants have an unlimited supply of
condoms
,
tampons
, and
sunblock
. Cheaters.
They get food if they're hungry. They don't show you that. The people
eating rat
are doing it because they think it's fun.
Instead of being a test of
individual skills
, they're organized into these hokey
tribes
, and the highlight of the program is a
stupid game
that has little or nothing to do with
actually surviving
on the island. The
winning tribe
gets an
icon
which suspiciously looks like a miniature
totem pole
that endows the team with
immunity
from having to vote one of their teammates off. When I first heard of the show, I was really hoping for a scenario like
The Lord of the Flies
.
So, instead of being a neat
PBS
-like real adventure show, or a live-action retelling of a literary classic, it's a
tropical game show
. Whoopee.
