This paper outlines the various ways Survivor has been able to outwit, outlast, and outplay for twenty-seven seasons. This award-winning American reality competition show tests the physical, mental, emotional, and social limits of anyone who is willing to be “stranded” on a deserted island in order to have the chance to win $1,000,000. As contestants try to adapt to their new island lifestyle, producers try to adapt new ways to keep the audience engaged from season to season. This paper gives readers a detailed history of how the show came to be as well as prediction as to where the show will and will not go in the future.

  • 4. Poaching Reality: an Online Study
    Poaching Reality The Reality Fictions of Online Survivor Fans: A Case Study Chris Wright Georgetown University Virtual Communities: Theories and Practices Feb. 7, 2004 Note: The author would like to thank Mario Lanza, Peter Harkey, Gabriel Cade, Helen Glover, and Tanya Vance for their assistance with this project, as well as the members of the SurvivorSucks virtual community who answered his survey questions. Copyright 2004 by Chris Wright ([email protected]) Survivor: Hawaii logo created by anonymous source; Alaska logo created by Ryan Crist; and Greece logo created by Danielle Wheelis. Used with permission of Mario Lanza. 2 Introduction On Aug. 11, 2003, Tanya Vance, a 27-year-old social worker from Kingsport, Tenn., was declared the million-dollar winner of All-Star Survivor: Greece on live national television. She had outlasted 15 competitors through 39 days of starvation, intense physical challenges, and psychological machinations – all on a set of islands in the Aegean Sea. “Oh, you guys are too sweet!” she said with tears in her eyes after the show’s host, Jeff Probst, announced her victory. “I’m feeling so great right now,” she went on moments later, brushing her hair out of her face. “This is unbelievable. Totally unbelievable. It’s better than, like, my wildest dreams.”1 Wildest dreams, indeed: None of this ever happened. Tanya Vance never won Survivor. Tanya Vance was actually the second person to be kicked out of Survivor: Thailand, which aired on CBS in fall 2002. She lasted six out of a possible 39 days. Her victory was the creation of Mario Lanza, a Survivor fan who has written or co-written three “All-Star” editions of the show in novel form2 and posted them on the Web site www.Survivor-Central.com.
