So what do you all think? We all know the show is HUGE. Might it be possible that soundtrack sales for it might benefit from the popularity of the show (remember "Titanic")?

I'll admit it - I watch the show, though mostly from a sociological, student-of-human nature aspect. And I might pick up the CD. I'm into tribal, island-sounding music. It could be fun. Anybody else?

It would be great if, when Rudy wins, they had a slo-mo montage - you know, the kind the sports channels slap together at the end of the World Series - of all of Rudy's triumphs and failures as he struggled to survive in the South China Seas, all underscored with "The Final Game" from Goldsmith's Angie. Wait, no. Rudy! D'oh.

I can't believe Rich won. Feed everyone manta's for 3 months and get a million bucks!

there's always something else I wanna watch.

besides, there's too many of these reality shows now, whatever "reality" means...

I REALLY hate to admit it, but in a weird of way, I'm sort of sad it's over. For those of us who have watched from the beginning, we've lived with these people for a couple of months, and even started to like some of them. It's strange too, because I don't usually get sucked in to these "reality" shows. The only other show that I watched almost as much as this was "Road Rules" in Australia. I think for me, it has to do with the adventure aspect more than anything else. That's why I'd rather watch "Survivor" 50 times over than watch "Real World."

Rudy said he's asked to participate in Survivor II, GO RUDY!

I also want to know who did the score.

I loved Road Rules. I especially liked the one episode (a while back) when they had a mission to sneak into the Real World's house and steal an 8-ball!!! It was great!!!

How could you "HATE" Kelly? If there's anyone I "HATE" it's the damn smug host Jeff Probst.

If I'd been on the island I would have gotten along the best with Colleen.

As for the show, I wanted Rudy to win. I'm really surprised that Rudy lasted as long as he did, since he got quite a few votes at one point during the game.

I'm happy that Kelley did not win, though. Kelley was too worried about being nice and saving her butt at the same time. Rich was just worried about saving his own butt, which was the correct way to play the game, no matter how dirty it got... $0.02.

After reading this thread I'm not gonna bother watching it now.

Again, I wonder if the vocal was product placement for the "Survivor" soundtrack. I wouldn't be surprised, after seeing "all the other" product placement in the show!

Thoughts?

Good point P.K. I suppose we'll have to ask the composers if they did it on purpose to boost sales, since anything else would be speculation. I could see it either way. They'd already gone in that direction with the main theme, so I could see non-commercial reasons for continuing it (as if THAT wasn't commercial enough). Or, they just wanted something that's been commercially proven.

Like I said originally - it's going to be interesting to see if the popularity of the show has any bearing on CD sales.
