The original post was spot on and our group at work has been saying this exact same thing for a while now. People use to lose weight and were struggling to survive. A guy like Hatch was partly made safe by the fact he provided food by spear fishing. If you had a smart, physical and hardworking person you valued them because they we helping you survive. The first thing you did was get rid of the lazy, old and weak. If you didn't you ran out of food and had to trade your shelter with Jeff just to get a bag of rice. Now that they hand out food and supplies like crazy it's the exact opposite. The players show up and get rid of anybody that has any ability at all. Hey, this lady is a builder and built us a shelter...we better vote her off. Hey, this guy is big and strong and working to hard at camp so we better vote him off. Wow, this guy is smart and is helping us win all the puzzle challenges...we better get rid of him ASAP. Hey, this guy is athletic and helping win most of the challenges...we better vote him off quick. So we end up with a bunch of useless catty women that talk tough but really just sit around and make fun of the people that have any ability at all. If this is what the show is after fine...but please stop holding it on an island and calling it survivor. Hold the show at the mall and call it revenge of the high school clique.
You and Artiee seem to be the only other people here who get the original purpose of the show .
