Yeah I wondered and wish they release uncensored dvds as well. It was Pearl Islands right when the men stripped intentionally for that one challenge. They know they were being filmed... and if they strip on their own free will... then it should of been shown on the dvds with no censor.

I have to admit, Albert is ONE handsome sexy man.. kind of a douche, but, compared to Ozzy and others..he is the one i would love to be stranded on a deserted island with, and come on,,, he wanted Mikaela to stay, i dont blame him~

Where that image of Albert in underwear, but wearing shoes and black socks just ruined it for me. How dare he wears black socks in a beach environment ? He should at least have had socks that matched his underwear.

And since Albert is likely to no longer been seen in his underwear, the "hot body" aspect goes down and now it focuses more on the social game.

It is interesting how the editong does include guys talking about how some girls are cute and using their sex to get support from the alpha males, but never mentions girls discussing whether a guy is cute or not.

Interesting this past week's episode had very little eye candy. Anyone noticed they showed up fully dressed to that cinema ? Humm, I wonder where those clean clothes came from :)

I would think that in a true survivor environment, an opposite situation woudl happen where folks would initially wear clothes and progressively give and and just run around in their underwear. Interesting that they do the reverse on the show.

More and more I am beginning to believe this show is "staged." :frown1:

I think the initial first 2 or 3 seasons were less staged with the actors really losing weight for instance. But Survivor Australia had plenty of staging in it, including setting up their camp in a river bed, and when it did rain, there was a camera man to film the floating can of rice down the river and it "conveniently" got stuck in some branches.

But in the island areas, I get the impression that they stay at a hotel at night, and only spend certain number of hours on set for filming (with the sets being very close to the resort).

I'm not sure about a hotel, but I do suspect that they have more comforts and food than we see. Bottled water and portable toilets for sure. The camera crews couldn't be expected to live in primitive conditions, so they must have good accommodations nearby.

The original concept is pretty much gone.

Albert surely is a beautiful man, is he just a really tanned caucasian, or a really mixed negroid, I cant tell, either way he is stunning.

the cast gets nothing, they're literally out in the wild on their own. no bottled water, no toilet paper, no portable toilets, etc.

Shooting has been done close to a resort for some time. For Survivor Fiji, they used the very expensive resort where "bLue Lagoon" had been filmed. They book the entire resort. When actors are eliminated, they stay at the resort until the end of the shoot. (and of course, crews stay at the resort).

I think that for Survivor Australia they would have build a camp near the contestant with large tents, generators etc (or perhaps lived on a station (large farm in australia) which already had generators.

The show has gone downhill for several years. I don't know why it still has high ratings. I guess people don't have anything better to do, or it's in the exact time slot it needs to be. They've taken all the excitement out of it. Not only do they get more food and equipment than they used to, they are allowed to wear what they want. I for one miss the underwear shots and pube and butt crack glances. Remember Bobby Jon Drinkard? OMG, that guy wore thin boxer briefs on the first episode he was on (not the second) that were to die for. He must be at least 10". Google him. But I digress. Give me the old shows where they fed them nothing but rice and let them "SURVIVE". Isn't that what it's supposed to be about? The producers must have been afraid of lawsuits.

They have made an obvious shift away from survival skills over to "social" skills. There is some interest to see what sort of strategies work and don't work to made it to the final 3.

And the fact that the insist on bringing back some old cast members makes it far less interesting because too much strategy is focused on them.

I still wouldn't mind participating though. It would be a great experience and an all expenses paid trip to an exotic place with a mix of camping on a beach and then catered at a fancy resort.

Even if a lot is staged, I still think the social aspect is a big challenge. My opinion is that a few contestants are "planted" with a purpose (Such as Omarossa told to lie and be a bitch) but the rest are probably themselves.

We haven't heard about drinking water for a while. So we have to assume they have a huge barrel full of clean water.

I can't get enough of Ozzy! I could just stare at him all day long and never get bored, he is drop-dead gorgeous with that sexy long hair! And Albert! My God, I'm without words, he's unbelievably hunky! Even Keith was gettin' me hot tonight!

Keith makes my tongue hard. Ozzie and Albert...not so much. But, I'm gay.

Never got any interest in keith. He was "useful" only in voting out Ozzie's girlfriend. For the rest, he could have been a plastic dummy with clothes on. (from the point of view of what was shown on TV, which may not represent what actually happened).

Ozzie is much better this time around. Less arrogant and also nicer eye candy. (despite him still being uncut) :)

Perhaps the producers know that initially, there isn't much "addiction" to the show since the storyline hasn't really begun, so they put out a lot of eye candy to keep viewers watching until they "hook" on to some of the actors and storyline.

Now that the game has shifted to startegy, no more need for eye candy.

Dawn is the one that gets my attention. She was underdog, yet has done extremely well at challenges yet does not look threathening.
