Mike it sounds like you should be the new writer for CBS's Survivor. I'm sorry but having a hula-hoop contest to decide which tribe is going to have their first six-course feast since....the previous episode's feast (filmed 48 hours earlier), is not "survival."

They need some Xterras, eating themselves out of worminfested pits and some real life survival stuff. Maybe you could even stuff them into a Latin American jail.

If I was writing Survivor, it would be a deadly serious show and some people would end up in the hospital.

And winning would be considered on par with The Tour de France or an olympic gold medal.

So all the contestants would have no upper body mass and would be taking hard to detect perfoirmance enchancers?

more likely burly people with good fat stores.

If I was writing Survivor, I doubt there would be any.

First season: Drop each contestant off at the South Pole with no supplies. All they have is the clothing on their back.

First one back to the tv studio wins.

Oh yeah - it would not be televised.

I thought that Kim did burn his tires, but I may be confused. The news said that 1 tire should burn for 12-24 hours. I also read that the general rule is you will last, in freezing conditions, 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, and 15 days without food. Also don't eat ice -- it lowers your body temp too much.

I imagine that after all that time Kim was pretty demoralized and assumed they would never be found if he didn't intervene. A week is a long time to wait to be rescued and I imagine desperation sets in easily.
