- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2015This book is awesome for any Survivor fanatic, like myself! I am working to watch all seasons of Survivor and prepare myself to personally be survivor. This book goes over, in high detail, the dangers of Australia and a lot of really important survival information. It contains physiological examinations that each of the 16 survivors was required to complete prior to coming on the show and a biography about them. There's also a follow along feature in the form of a pull out page where you can track the survivors and who you think may take the million. These are a pretty great read because some of these intentions are spot on, while others were way off of their actual game play! Mark Burnett also has a few chapters of really interesting information about Borneo and the making and history of Survivor.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2001This book will be extremely helpful to have next to you while you watch the show, especially at the beginning, before you get to remember all the contestants. It has has profiles, quotes and a psychiatrist's evaluations of all these people and even has what they think their strategy is going to be.There's a map and a scoresheet, too, if you really want to follow along.
The part with the contestants' strategies in their own words is pretty amusing, because they all believe they're going to win, and think that just because they watched the last season of Survivor, that they're not going to make the same mistakes.
It was also kind of cool to read the chapters by Mark Burnett about how the show got started and the fallout after the first Survivor finished.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2013Liked it a bunch but I am a Survivor nut. If you aren't totally into Survivor this book probably isn't for you.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2001Are you fascinated by the media circus that one simple television show has become? Then this is the book for you! This book covers ALL aspects of the Survivor phenomenon. It was fun to read on many levels, including things like a summary of Survivor I and continuing on to a brief history of Australia. For those interested in the mind game that Survivor became, the Contestant section even includes a profile of different personality types. There are lots of color pictures, and also 2 pullouts: one is a map of the area, and the other is a chart to keep track about who in your viewing group guesses right at Tribal Council each week. Overall, an excellent book!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2001Picking up with an in-depth look at the first series' final Tribal Council, this book has everything you'd want to follow along with the new series. It has full profiles of each contestant--great for keeping track of who's who--and comments from the show's psychologist and casting director as well as interview answers from each contestant, which can give you an edge in office pools! I found the background information on the hazards of the area and the producer's take on possible player strategies to be nice bonuses, too. Definitely worth every penny I paid for it!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2001"Survivor II: The Australian Outback" is over and done with, so why read "The Official Companion Book to the CBS Television Show"? Because if you were a devotee of the show you will find it interesting. The first section, "Survivor: Borneo," provides Mark Burnett's comments on the end game of the first "Survivor," looking at the last days, final tribal council, wrap party, and the show's premier as a prelude to casting the second series. The chapters providing "A Short History of the Land Down Under" and "The Playing Field" are concise but interesting looks at the playing field for the game with color photography similar to what we got during the series.
The information on "The Contestants" in Chapter Four is arguably more interesting to read after the show rather than before hand. The comments of the Casting Director and the Psychologist about Jerri, Colby and the rest of the cast are wonderfully ironic given the way the game played out. This is even truer about the final chapter on "Strategies," where we learn how each of the sixteen INTENDED to play the game (Jerri wants to "find a way of not being so controlling"). The Sixteen Strategies for Winning "Survivor" laid out by Burnett are certainly fodder for discussion around your own tribal fire.
But let's face it, the great thing about this Field Guide is reading about Jerri's intentions and self-image and comparing it with the "edited" product. You might get similar enjoyment reading about Tina, Elisabeth, Roger, Keith or whoever you favorites were (to win or to hate), but I cannot believe that there is anything as choice as what we see about the Wicked Witch of the Outback who insisted everything anybody did in the game was a strategic move, except, of course, for some of her kinder, gentler moments. This book would certainly be a fun read for anyone suffering from Survivor withdrawal.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2001If you follow the show this is an invaluable source of information that you won't see on the current show or find on the DVD. A nice summary of last season's show, how the current location was picked, information about the new cast, including the casting director's comments and the psych review, which is interesting to read now that the show has started to eliminate its players. Interesting commentary about 16 strategies to win the show, and advice for anyone applying for future shows. Full of color photos and a map of the current camp, this is an excellent book to have alongside while you're watching the Australian Survivor, or if you are infatuated with the show and want more informaiton.
