I don't get the premise for Survivor, or I have not grasped it yet... I have never watched a single episode but I think the fundamentals are: this is a gameshow; this is a reality show; this is a competition among a cast of participants; the difficulty lies within working as a whole yet never failing to realize that only one can win; it is a contest to "survive" in remote areas of the globe; no amenities are afforded, other than bare minimum for some(feminine hygiene); a running syndication of many locations that does not end until all the participants save one are eliminated; awarded top prize of $1 million?
Survivor.
