Like I said, you more than qualify for a real survival show. There have
been some of the more mature women on the show, but I agree that most
of it seems to have little to do with real survival, and more to do
with social climbing in a semi-primitive setting.

I always figured the tribe that wants to survive should raid the other
tribe, maybe bash a few knee caps to weaken the competition, and
generally cause havoc. Maybe go after the producers camp. Now we can
have a real program, with Jeff living on the beach. TnT

Format has changed or I watched too little of it. I didn't know there
were two tribes competing. Geeze. Too much silliness for Cyli.

With real tribes you don't raid until there's a need. Usually a need
to get rid of some of the too many young over-testosteroned men who
are pretty useless if you've already got enough hunters. True
primitives tended to wander apart from one another most of the time.
As tribes got larger there was warfare and trade, but these start out
with 20 people or less for the 'reality' show, don't they? Insane.
