Survivor is good. It's well-produced, and Mark Burnett was never planning on making reality TV. He just made a game show that's a bit more demanding than Jeopardy.
The thing with Survivor is that they all know what they're getting in to (save for a few twists from the producers, which don't alter the fundamental premise of the game), and they are playing against each other for money. That's a good honest game show. The Mole isn't bad either.
The problem is when you start getting personal. It's fine to play off for a million samoleons. It's uncool to play off for a husband or a wife.
