Fox Bootcamp or ABC Survivor

First off I've never seen Survivor as it's on one of the four networks that I don't watch:

ABC, CBS and NBC since 1985ish and CNN since about 1995.

So those that have seen both choose one.

I've got one vote for Bootcamp and hope that Wolfe knocks that scheming female out.

The Boot Camp can't really be called boot camp because i don't see any mission that deals with shooting or the likes.
If they're trying to make the show pro military why not add the shooting element.

Yeah, I watch that crap.

But I pay my taxes, therefore it is my Constituional right to watch whatever I want.

That said, Survivor wins hands down. But I LOVE watching the D.I.'S spitting in the faces of the "recruits"

Bootcamp. Just because I actually watched it and didn't see too much of Survivor. Seemed to touchy feely this time. I liked how on bootcamp you got to pick someone to go with you.

I'd like to see a survivor show where the last LIVING person wins. Their challenges would be to walk a tightrope across the mouth of a volcano or something like that. Maybe challenges like "the snake toss" or "gator dentistry" or "hippo riding".

Boot Camp is such an utter rip-off of Survivor. I actually like Survivor, because you get to know the contestants. Some of them have personalities or wit, some are stupid jackasses, some are sweet and some are just plain evil. It's fun to marvel at their whining or stupidity and foibles.

And yeah, it's a real contrived and gimmicky situation they're in but it's done for the audience's entertainment. Plus you get to watch people who would do ANYTHING to be on tv suffer from starvation and other deprivations.

You took the words right out of my mouth. It's coming! So is "Treadmill to Bucks". That's some freaky shit. Maybe a little earlier than Stephen King predicted.

I like survivor for the babes (Amber) and Boot Camp because it kinda reminds me of when I was in real USMC bootcamp at MCRD in San Diego. Ahh the memories...

As I said before, I like Survivor for the hotties. I don't particularly care who wins. I just keep hoping for a cat fight between the babes, where hair is pulled and their tops come flying off.

Who cares? They're both a bunch of phoney-baloney crap.

HOW ABOUT A REAL SURVIVOR, WHERE YOU ARENT GIVEN ANY FOOD OR SHELTER AND YOU LIVE OFF THE LAND. YOU CANT BE KICKED OUT, YOU HAVE TO QUIT. THAT WOULD BE THE REAL DEAL.

I've seen each one exactly once. That was enough. I was hoping Boot Camp would be worth watching, and be performance-based, but it's just the same old scheming, quasi-political crap. What happened to winning a game based on merit rather than on voting.

By the way, I hate Weakest Link, as well. It wouldn't be so bad if it got rid of the voting and the insults. At least it moves a heck of a lot faster than Millionaire. Another show I can't stand.

Semper Fi!

The only "reality based" game show I watch is Iron Chef.

I just heard that UPN is going to be doing an American version of Iron Chef based in Las Vegas. The bad thing could be is that William Shatner is the host. I hope he doesn't do any of his horrid priceline.com singing.
