But once I thought about it, I realized that I wouldn't want to be on it at all! I think the social part of the game wouldn't be too much of a problem, but the physical stuff would definitely be horrible. So, here's the biggest reasons I am glad I will never have to be on Survivor: 1. No food - Obviously. I like food. 2. No coffee - I'd get caffeine withdrawls - I'm totally addicted 3. Migrains - Enough said 4. Challenges - I'm not too out of shape, but swimming, running or beating the crap out of the other castaways doesn't sound appealing with the lack of food, hot environment and tribe mates that will freak out if you make them lose the challenge. 5. People on Sucks would say mean things about me - Lol. Come on, I'm not the only one who's thought about this... Okay, so I'm kind of a wimp - Lol. I love watching the show and all, but everyone who goes on a reality show is crazy IMO! So, why would you not make it on Survivor? Not social enough? Camera shy? Out of shape? What are your reasons for not getting off the couch? Last Edited By: Lurlene McDaniels 11/04/07 1:51 PM. Edited 1 time.

As for the 'no food' thing...well, I mean, give me a break. No coffee....uh, you're an addict and that's sad. Migraines....I'm not a forty-five year old woman, so I don't get these. Challenges....would be awesome. And people on Sucks...are all dimwit assholes, and anyone who's gonna sit there and worry about nothing but the post-game exposure is a bit silly. As for the camera-shy thing, most (if not all) of the people who are on the show aren't exactly used to having cameras shoved in their faces 24/7. If everyone who's ever been on the show can deal with it, chances are, I can too.

Lack of food wouldn't bother me that much other than making me weak. The dirty water and eating semi-gross things on a daily basis would bother me the most, along with the fact that I'd probably not be very good at building a shelter and making fire. Yeah, people at Sucks would probably make fun of me. I'm sure there'd be a Cesternino-tanktop esque pic floating around. Haha. I'd of course still come back here and post afterward.

Why didnt they let Rich host SNL? who gives a fuck if its on another network, its free publicity

And yes, I admit I have a problem . As for why I wouldn't want to go on Survivor, a better question is why WOULD I? It never really was something I wanted to do - I have more important things to do. I know a lot of the contestants said they had a great time (once it was over), but it all sounds pretty awful to me. Don't get me wrong, I love watching the show, but everyone who goes on reality TV seems kind of masochistic to me. Melissa McNulty had the right idea, IMO. 1) Breaking out all over my face. Fuck YES! I would hate this too! Lol. ETA - Wow, SnarkyMark - that Avitar...Lol.

Everyone would crucify me for copying Katie Gallaghers strategy into an easy 100 K 4.No coffee or alcohol would drive me crazy

The show makes it seem like it's all just challenges, rewards, TC, and strategy but it couldn't be further from the truth. And the very nature of the game makes it almost positive that you'll be paranoid as hell for 39 days. I'm really surprised that there haven't really been any contestants who had serious mental breakdowns in the game. The closest was probably Jamie in Guatemala. Plus, there's a good chance that you'll end up on a crappy season, and believe me, the contestants actually do take it somewhat personally when the fan reaction to their season isn't too strong. Well, maybe they don't take it as an attack against them, but they do get pretty bummed out, because after all, people are judging all of that on you and the other contestants--a strong cast can shine even with bad editing, but it doesn't work the other way around. And fans rarely blame the casting people; they blame the cast. I don't want to go on a power trip, but I would want a guarantee from the producers that my season would have a cast of 16 and a final two, and come on, that's not gonna happen (and that's not to say that 16 and a final two guarantees a great season, but hey, it increases the odds at least from my point of view). Amazing Race I would do in a heartbeat though.

I mean yeah, the basic principle of the game means you'll end up being paranoid through it, but I'm paranoid as it is to begin with so that doesn't bother me, and come to think of it, the lack of food probably wouldn't either. Hell, I had to go through 6-7 weeks eating nothing but a bowl of cereal once a day as my meal, so probably wouldn't be all bad (and most people usually just end up getting weak as opposed to hungry, least it was with me). And besides, I've always thought that you couldn't really call yourself a superfan if you wouldn't jump all over the opportunity to be on Survivor if the opportunity came up, no offense to those that think otherwise.

Plus I'd be all gross and half-naked in front of millions of people. Also having to say a BILLION times, "Actually, that's just the way it looked on the show, but in reality ... " I WOULD like to go on just so, if I got voted out, I could just sit there and refuse to come and get it snuffed. Or pick up my lit torch and run. That's my main reason for wanting to go on. Also I would really love for someone to get picked with a terrific, controversial personality, but once they got to the island, refusing to say a single word. Even in confessionals. How the editors would work around that would be reallllly interesting to me. Can some really athletic male here go do that just so he at least has a shot of making the merge??

I don't know...it's weird. Ever since I saw Survivor for the first time, I was obsessed with the idea of being on the show. It took me a really long time to realize that there are a fuckton of Survivor fans who wouldn't even consider it....who would even say no if given the golden opportunity. Having said that, I see another crappy CSI game was recently released...and I can't help but wonder why they keep putting out these games (which get consistently bad reviews all across the board, because they fail to even consider criticism before popping out another) but they can't try again with Survivor. Honestly, if they put on an expansion pack for Survivor: The Interactive Game, I would totally buy it. Is that sad?

Posts: 2239 (11/04/07 5:11 PM) Owns stock in Clorox Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	There are so many more reasons as to why i WOULDN'T want to go on Survivor than if I WOULD... 1) Spiders (given the location obviously... but I am deathly afraid of spiders... I will fucking leave children to fend for themselves... and I HAVE) 2) I would run the risk of being booted immediately (if someone was in my face I would have to retaliate) 3) I am athletic but swimming would be a huge fucking NO (Give me land challenges and I am there... but I have never cared for swimming... would rather lay out and sunbathe) 4) I don't take orders well... it would have to be my way or the highway... and I know myself well enough not to put myself in that situation. Enough Said.

I agree with Prozac that Melissa McNulty who was prone to anxiety already made the right choice in backing out when she could! Beatles, I agree with you also that being on an unpopular season would upset me a little - especially if I got a UTR edit just for not being one of the two or three characters the editors want to focus on (and I'm a woman in my twenties so that doesn't bode well - they might show me as an annoying bitchy character though). I think it would be better to be an unlikable character than one who gets no screen time. I've always thought that you couldn't really call yourself a superfan if you wouldn't jump all over the opportunity to be on Survivor if the opportunity came up, no offense to those that think otherwise. Eh, yeah, I consider myself a big fan of the show, but no offense taken:) Anyway, if anything, I would want to be part of the editing, casting, filming or production crew. That would be very cool IMO. Last Edited By: Lurlene McDaniels 11/04/07 5:59 PM. Edited 3 times.

Otherwise I think I would be afraid of getting out before jury.
