i used to watch survivor a lot as well but the series has become repetitive and predictable. i find myself mainly tuning in to watch the challenges and the tribal council and everything else in between has become quite boring. i seem to dislike most of the new contestants as well. the setting is also always the same on a island or in the jungle. i would like to see it moved to alaska/antarctica, the himalayas or some other non tropical locale. i still consider series 2 and 3 in Australia and Africa as amongst the best in survivor history.
besides survivor, the amazing race is still one of my most favourite shows. the challenges and locations are always different and theres a greater sense of competitiveness.
