The Resume

Why Survivor 2: Australian Outback might be annoying:

    Technically, it was not held in the 'outback' (a dry desert location), but in a wet, semi-tropical, albeit remote, locale.
    The game lasted 42 days, three more than usual.
    At one point, the castaways were so low on food, they turned their shelter over to Jeff Probst in exchange for more food.
    They had to put up with Kimmi's anti-meat rants and Jerri's frequent confrontations!
    Elisabeth went on the star on 'The View', while Jerri used her notoriety to get on a spread for Playboy.
    It showed Michael killing a pig on screen.
    Michael later became the first player ever to leave the game due to injury, without being voted off.
    Because of this, some of the immunity challenges were postponed or cancelled.
    In fact, the final immunity challenge was not an endurance contest like every other Survivor, but merely a trivia game.

Why Survivor 2: Australian Outback might not be annoying:

    It premiered right after Super Bowl XXXV (January 28, 2001).
    Since all the players had the opportunity to watch 'Survivor I', they had a good idea of how to play the game, unlike the previous season when everyone went into it not knowing what they were doing.
    As a result, no single player could catch the others off guard and scheme his way to victory the way Richard Hatch did.
    Five of its castaways participated in Survivor: All Stars.
    They didn't reveal to the players the final voting results until a live airing the night the finale was shown. This has become standard practice ever since.
    The finalists conceded that, had Michael not been injured, he surely would have made it to the Final Two.
    It was the highest rated series of the 2000-01 season.
