I had always been interested in Survivor but never got around to watching it. The first episode I ever saw was Alicia's boot in All Stars. I also continued to watch Shii Ann's boot the following week. I loved it. I never finished watching them on TV, but about a month later I borrowed the DVD off a friend who knows people who work with the show. I had a marathon, and was hooked from there. I missed Vanuatu, but have seen all of Palau, Guatemala, Panama, Cook Islands, Fiji, China and Fans VS Favorites on TV. I have seen Borneo, Australian Outback, Pearl Islands and Vanuatu through the DVD's and Africa, Marquesas, Thailand and Amazon on the computer. So All Stars was my first season. I found it interesting that it was not well liked here, but it can't be that bad because it got me hooked after all!
