This edition of Survivor may have been more interesting than the last two, but it was also the one that got the nastiest, with some of the contestants taking this game way too seriously. Although it's safe to assume that none of them were at their best, considering the conditions they were living under. The barf-worthy lowest points: as always, the beyond-blatant product placement, and the stupid american flag-waving on the last episode. Patriotism is a fine thing, but when you tag it onto a show that's about something no deeper than cold hard cash, it's pretty repulsive. And quintessentially American.
