Survivor: The Final Four (2000)
When people were naive
Here is where this wonderful game was born.
Although it was the beginning, and therefore it was a very "relaxed" season it culminated with an historic and unforgettable tribal council finale, and there are several considerations to be made (even though it is the first Survivor):
. It is clear from the start that there is only 1 real player in the game (Rich) and 13 other dumb dumbs (although Sue and Rudy played their smart alliance game led by Rich, and rightly so).
. I can't understand when people sign up for a game where they know what they're going for, know the concept, know the winner will walk away with $1,000,000 and 13 people think they're going to a desert island for a holiday or simply "to exist". An example of this is, among many other things, the voting in tribal council: people voted in an alphabetical order or "just because". It's unbelievable how people don't seem to know the context where they are inserted when there's $1,000,000 at stake and they don't seem to give a damn or vote conscientiously.
. The repulsion for alliances: many people seemed hurt by the fact that there are alliances when the only way to reach the end of the game is precisely with people and strategy and never alone, again it seems that they have no notion of where they are, the type of game, nor what they are doing.
. Although it was the first experience, we are talking about intelligent people with dignified professions in their real life, so it was required of them to be more intelligent in distinguishing a game from the real life and not to overlap both when they are completely different realities.
In short, there is no doubt that Rich could be the only and fair winner since he was the only one who came to play and did so with all his intelligence, insight and notion of where he was and with whom he was with.
Season 1 best players: Rich.
