The first time I heard about "Survivor" was when I saw a commercial asking "who would be the last one left on the island?" At that time I didn't know about immunity challenges or tribal council or anything, so I assumed this meant they had to keep living on the island until all of them but one had died! I thought that was terrible, and refused to watch the show. When I found out how it really worked, I thought "Oh well that makes more sense!" I still think it's terrible, though.
