21 years ago today, TV would be forever changed as we watched 16 people begin the adventure of a lifetime in Survivor: Borneo "The Marooning"

21 years and 40 seasons later the game has evolved but has still stayed as a reality TV staple.

23 years ago tonight, we saw 16 people begin the adventure of a lifetime, and TV was forever changed.

Well said! As someone on the first Survivor, as the rise of message board communities like “survivorsucks” plagued us and berated us. At least on Twitter you get good and bad. There was rarely a good word spared in posts in those early days. Even worse with All-Stars.
To all you assholes out there spewing negativity towards Survivor castmates, disparaging winners, decisions and idols, u can quote me on this. "If you haven't done it (i.e. competed on survivor) suck it, shut up & sit down"

They weren't terrible at all!! When I eat something after the 5 second rule,
I tell my friends/family that "the things you worry MAY have touched your food....I ate all of those things."
"I'm so ready to eat rat! I want to gut 'em, bone 'em, and then we'll have, like, some little rat meat in with the rice that we're eating. That would be delicious."

My daughter Sadie finished her finals today (acing then all!!) and would be walking with Honors to graduate this weekend, but alas, not to be.
So proud of her, BA in Biology/pre-med....now applying to med school!!

It might be worse that after 22 years I mostly get coworkers who find out I was on the first season and say “My Mom/Dad/Grandparents watched it religiously, but I was only 5.”

@JulyThePhotoGuy
That was truly scary to watch. Holy shit. That guy could've been seriously hurt or killed. And it's good to see a couple decent people stepping in to escort him out without further harm
Adam is going to get a lot of shit for trying to play the Tribal podium as an idol but it was absolutely worth a shot. More over, he was absolute gold on this season. Top shelf entertainment. 10/10 would watch again.

@SurvivorQuotesX
So surreal to be called and told that you would be on the cover of Time magazine. I remember joking about them not having anyone else to put on, they must have all been busy. But yeah, I was walking around Manhattan, back when print media was still alive and this was everywhere!
Flash back to a Jeopardy contestant using his final Jeopardy to tell Alex Trebek, who had advised he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer: “We ❤️ You, Alex”. It makes him nearly break down with tears of joy. 😭 RIP

on my screen. I didn't watch Borneo when it was originally on and in All-Stars I wasn't old enough/Survivor experienced enough (I was 13 at the time and my first season was Pearl Islands) to be able to appreciate her fully.

Jenna played for a total of 65 days, making us cry when she didn’t get her video and laugh when she voted out Joel with a “Moo” Today we honor Jenna 👙
Survivor castaways:
The show needs to do more to take care of contestants physically and mentally.
Also Survivor castaways:
29 days!?! I want these people to suffer like I suffered!
@ssjenna13
He and some others, including you in season 8 (ALL STARS), were also stripped of that opportunity as well..in ALL STARS season, if it was final 3 instead of final 2, could you have won??
Why does it seem like I turned 40 and all of a sudden wanted to have 🐐 goats, and 🐓 chickens, and garden...is my biology 🧬 trying to ready me for an apocalypse?!
My Army enlistment photo (1980) before attending West Point (1982). Looks like the camera caught me either mid-blink or stoned. 🙂
The pace at which years are passing is accelerating.
20 years!!! I remember May 31st looming so large once we got back. And watching Extra and reading online spoilers....and of course the introduction to the SurvivorSucks board....
Since
#Survivor
first aired on May 31st, 2000, 40 seasons have aired, 38 people have won, 5 new countries were formed, 4 Presidents have been in office and 3 Popes have resided in Vatican City. Survivor has endured the test of time.
@JeffProbst
Omg, 18 years ago!
I remember this like it was yesterday.....which is surprising when you take into account how much I have to drink since then

@SayGerv
You made my day! I never felt I got a chance to truly discuss my game play. I had to find a reason to vote of Tina, I had Rupert and Jerri voting with me, and then had to assimilate into a brand new tribe...I had quite a bit of quiet control.
@ssjenna13
I really liked you through-out season 8, but after you screwed Rupert over I just kinda lost respect. I get the move though, just anyone but him.
@JeffProbst
hear that ? I just blew my candles out, guess what I wisged for?......
Well actually it was world peace and to end Covid but, if I had a second candle it would be for a Third Times a Charm chance......
My heart can't 😭

Oh, Laura…..Nooooooo!! I’m so so sorry to hear that! Please pass along my well wishes! We will be sending him all kinds of warm and healing thoughts!! He is the strongest guy we know!

20 years ago was a lifetime ago in how women are/were treated. I voted for Kelly, I didn't mind losing to another strong female.
I do think in hindsight
@HatchRichard
played a better game--a more complete game. But at that time, people wanted the winner to be "likeable."
@ssjenna13
I just came across this revelation from Wiglesworth today. What do you make of it?
I personally think it’s sad that age and gender played a factor into the way some of the jurors voted at the final tribal council.
Get an actual Survivor 1 contestant....sick of hearing all these wannabes....they have ZERO idea what it was like being. The FIRST.
Seriously, you think you do, but nobody knew reality tv at that tome and certainly not in a dangerous jungle locale. Have him all you like

I put money on you’re dead wrong. So easy for you to sit back and judge..let me make this clear....we are all certain YOU would not let a day. You’d never be cast.
@ssjenna13
I just finished rewatching Survivor all-stars. You played a great game and even though I already knew who won I was still cheering for you! Lol
In the early seasons of
#Survivor
there was no player who underwent such an amazing transformation as Kathy V.O. She started on the bottom of Rotu, only to emerge as the biggest threat in the game. A true legend of the earl seasons, today we appreciate Kathy.
And my daughter Sabrina went as Jenna Lewis from Survivor 1!!
D and I went as Ty Webb and Carl Speckler (Bill Murray) from Caddyshack!!
Successful and fun!!
Happy Halloween everyone!!
@jessicalewis89
I just don’t think 29 days are enough to drive people insane... not that it won’t live up to the post quarantine comeback, but I still think it’s bullshit. That extra 10 days really gets you.
Anne Hathaway is hilarious in Oceans 8 as the self centered actress! I know she has gotten a ton of flack, but she pokes fun at herself so well!! Anyone with a funny bone can see the joy she has in playing this sardonic impersonation of people perception of her!
