I hate it that we don't get BBC. BBC America SUCKS because the US is always behind on the good shows. :imwaiting But on BBC Free on Demand I get to watch every episode, unfortunately, we are so behind here in the US, I was looking up a song from the show on YouTube and accidentally came across the last episode where they tell which team wins. :tears It ruined it but I still watch it anyways. Only 3 weeks left and I'm really sad to see the show go, so is DH.

Any other fans out there and does anyone know if they'll do another season?

Aww! It's great! It starts out with I believe it was 10 young men and women ages 18-23 (or 25?) from the UK. 5 go to one island and they are the Tiger Tribe and the other 5 go to another island called the Shark Tribe. They can actually see one another distantly from one island to the other. But they are pretty much only given food and a backpack full of whatever they wanted to bring (clothes and such). They have an "outhouse"...minus the house. They have to build their own hut to sleep in over time using very few nails supplied to them and by cutting down trees and such. A lot of the food they have to catch themselves. Each week a new arrival comes, spends 3 days with each tribe and each tribe has to win that new person over, this happens each week for I think 19 or 20 weeks and in the end, the tribe that has won the most money wins a cash prize. There are quirks, rules have been broken which led to punishment which was pretty harsh. There are all sorts of rules to go by. There is also a wooden raft between each island in the ocean, every few weeks luxury items (like a portable shower, good foods, wine, shampoos) are dropped there and a horn is sounded. The tribes notice it and swim out, the first person to get there from whichever tribe wins the items for his island.

We hate almost all reality shows...too much drama. This one does have it's drama but it's really rare and it isn't really the blow up fights you usually see. Afterall they can't have drama, that won't win over the arrival. It's a GREAT show! I hope they make another.
