The story Surviving Survivor really made me think about "reality" TV and how it not only corrupts the viewers, but also the participants. Yeah, the show brought fame and fortune to the "Survivor friend," however the show still carried on in his life. I think its amazing that even participating on a reality show can affect your life so much. It even forced him to the point of dropping everything and moving to Ecuador for a year just to get away from the corrupt life he'd began to live. I think that the fact that he moved to Ecuador changed his whole perspective on his life and I think that it really made him rethink his personal values. It not only amazes him, but it amazes me also that in areas such as Ecuador where supplies and food and shelter are scarce, the people still have welcoming hearts and are still very generous. If we look in North America, however, we are very greedy and selfish, yet we are, for the most part, a very blessed and wealthy country. I think that if we tried to be more selfless like that of the Ecuadorian people, we would live much happier and peaceful lives.
