Reviews

The Restaurant

By Frances Katz

The Restaurant looks like Project Greenlight with saucepans. [4 August 2003]

Survivor: Thailand

By Benedetta Gennaro

Ever helpful, Jeff Probst reminded everyone that, on Survivor, assumptions are always wrong. [30 September 2002]

Survivor 3

By Tobias Peterson

No longer merely a television show conceit, the idea of survival has now taken on a new and frightening immediacy to viewers. [1 January 1995]

Survivor II: The Australian Outback

By Dan French

'Survivor' redux is very similar to 'Survivor' number one, meaning that it features a cast of predominantly white, semi-attractive adults engaged in a bizarre mix of 'Lord of the Flies' and 'Days of Our Lives'.
