Editor's Notes and Comments:
Amazon.com:
America has spoken. Survivor was one of the rare lightning-in-a-bottle television events that became an instant pop culture phenomenon, like Roots, the very first season of Twin Peaks, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, and Suddenly Susan (just kidding). Sixteen contestants were left to fend for themselves on the most famous tropical isle since Gilligan's. What begins as a happy and healthy competition inexorably turns, in contestant Jenna's words, 'malicious and evil.' And the whole world was watching.
For devotees of the show who yearn to go back to the island, this two-and-a-half-hour video souvenir replays the most memorable moments of season 1, including all the tribal councils that sealed the castaways' fates. What makes this video collectible are the never-before-broadcast audition tapes (Susan's is a jaw-dropping hoot), as well as each castaway's parting words after being voted off the island (Stacey is particularly bitter). There is gratuitous rodent skinning, uncensored profanity (from Susan and B.B.), and nudity (unfortunately, all Richard). Thankfully, we are spared Sonja's ukulele playing.
The one mystery that remains is why the castaways didn't pull a Lord of the Flies on hokey host Jeff Probst. Even those who originally avoided the show like a rat dinner will have to admit: from Jenna's heartbreak at learning that her video greeting from home did not arrive to Susan's classic what-goes-around-comes-around 'snakes and rats' speech, Survivor is compelling television. --Donald Liebenson

this dvd really sucked becuse there wernt any chalanges and they showed all the votes and when he was reding the votes they skiped to the last vote plus somany intervuies with the castaways. I hope the Complete very first season has challanges and all that kind of stuff.

On May 18, 2004, the entire very first season of Survivor will be released on a 5-disc set. The very first four contain the episodes and bonus features. This is the 5th disc in the set. DON'T BUY THIS DISC IF YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE THE BOX SET.
This disc isn't as bad as most people say, but the season set will definitely be the better buy.

This video is an overview of the original season of Survivor with some extras as noted above. It's a good review of the two tribes that started all the hub bub, but it may not be for everybody. I encourage you to watch this Survivor video if one or more of the following applies to you:
1. You missed some of Survivor 1 but greatly enjoyed the episodes you saw.
2. You are in some type of Fantasy Bowl Survivor, either at work, with friends, or on the CBS website.
3. You're on the CBS Survivor's mailing list and get excited to see the previews for the subsequent Survivor episode in your inbox.
4. You have ever purchased an official Survivor buff or any other type of memorabilia.
5. You want to catch the attention of someone you know to be a Survivor fanatic.
6. You have applied, or would like to apply, to be a contestant.
7. You want to re-live the Greg-talking-to-a-coconut moments.
8. You own the Survivor board game.
9. You were on the very first season of Survivor.
10. You need detailed instructions on how to build a Superpole.
11. Each of the items on this list is completely comprehendable to you.
If you're only feeling lukewarm about the series, this video isn't going to turn you into a fan. I would recommend Survivor: Pearl Islands for that. :)
And now I have spoken.

What a waste of time. As an avid fan of Survivor I felt that the money spent was not worth it.
This was boring, boring, boring and there was no excitement whats so ever and good have gone to a fine resturant for the money spent on this garbage. :(

I bought this for my parents since they didn't get to watch the very first season. I would have rather watched the full season again than what they considered to be the "highlights".
The DVD starts out showing the castaways upon the boat and traveling to the island. Then you get to see them arriving on the island and setting up camp. From here, the DVD starts introducing the castaways by showing their audition tapes, their audition interview and then a few highlights of their stay on the island. Then they proceed to show you each person getting voted off and what they said after they were eliminated. They follow the order of who was voted off first, second, etc. The DVD also shows a few challenges and more emotional moments of the series, but they didn't show the best parts of the season.
I watched the whole very first season and was really surprised of the things they left out during the editting of this DVD. I was very dissappointed and thought that this would be something that my parents would love since they had started watching the shows in the last few seasons. But my dad was nodding off during the viewing and it looked like several (my whole family was watching) were getting bored and watching the clock. It did cause a little discusion after we were finished, but we were mainly talking about what we missed. I really wish they would have shown just the highlights of the season instead of all the interviews and auditions. Watching the whole season in its entirity would have been nice too.
