I watched a few series of Survivor. They have all started to seem the same.
During a period of intense challenge, people with no shared history are thrown together. Generally there's a lot of teamwork, but also a hell of a lot of politics. Alliances are formed and become the underlying assumptions for a lot of decisions made. But underneath, the alliances may not be as strong as they seem.
Then the big meeting, where all speak - some idealistic, some tough, some with absolutely no clue. The decision is made. As the result comes out, we are sometimes able to see the expectant face of one who is doomed, but has no idea.
The votes tally up, and - bam - there it is. Blindsided.
But in Survivor Burma the stakes are higher than on a beach in fucking Guatemala.
