1. That was a weird episode.

"Getting it done at 71."

This 'season' has been remarkable for the brutality of the conditions. Three contestants out for medical? I know a few seasons ago, some contestants were suffering from starvation.

I look at those Survivor challenges over the years - including some of the stuff they have eaten - and I have never had a desire or wish to compete for that million dollars!

Joe slowly trudging along retrieving the bags - and then winning - which in turn led to his reward and abnormal food intake which triggered his physical shutdown - there is a message from the show here.

It's a reminder that these people are participating in a physically dangerous game - for a large sum of money - and a reminder of just what I have been 'enjoying' all these years.

Gives you a new perspective on Richard Hatch and the tax man, doesn't it?
