I'm a diehard and have been watching since season 1 (the first time we saw Richard roaming the beach in the buff), so I'm biased. The show definitely jumped the shark when they did the 'All star' season, but it has rebounded nicely since. Although some of the Survivor 'experiments' don't work very well; see 'tribes by race' and 'one tribe lives in luxury vs poverty'. Overall what make Survivor work for me is the interaction among the tribemates. It's always fascinating to see the blind trust or distrust coupled with the strategy and game playing that goes on. That part is always good. I did read that after the last couple of seasons they are learning from the things that didn't work, so we will see. It's still good TV and fun to watch as a family and try to guess what's coming next. Lastly, if you come back to Survivor maybe I'll try FNL? :-) I think you should come back to the fold on this one.
