In ALL seasons of both Survivors my biggest pet peeve with the contestants is Fire. Every single season on both, obtaining that initial fire is ALWAYS a dire situation. And EVERY single time I'm yelling at them through the T. V. to use someone's glasses and add a drop or 2 of water if the glass aren't thick enough. Even if a contestant saw only ONE season and ONE episode, they would have heard the complaints about lack of fire. If I was selected to compete I would at least learn the basics of out door living.... SPECIALLY FIRE making, shelter building, and fishing/small game hunting. (As a kid I was always using some type of concave lens to start a little fire no I'm not a pyromanic, I just enjoyed the the process of starting it using a primitive method like magnification of sun rays).
Out of all the US shows, I think only 2 or 3 contestants immediately used glasses to light a fire. This season is Brawn v/s Brain and both sides are struggling with the lack of fire and trying to get one going by the rubbing of 2 sticks methods. So, there is entire tribe of SUPPOSEDLY intelligent contestants and Wia has glasses so thick, that water wouldn't be needed. And there are a few more individuals wearing prescription glasses all just standing around with a confounded look on their faces. And they are SUPPOSED to be the brain's tribe.
Again, this is such an irritating issue to me because it's such an easy fix. It's really messing with my anxiety issues.
Otherwise, I love this show in both countries. Lot's of twists, drama, and the games they compete in are fast paced rollercoaster rides.
Worth the watch ~ even if tribes always face the first few days without the much needed fire!
