## Description

Product Description               Tina, Colby, Jerri, Elizabeth..they're all here in the second season of this popular reality TV series.                  .com               Survivor: The Australian Outback, the second season of the reality-show titan, remains the best season in the series' history. But assuming most people already know who won the million-dollar prize, is there still any appeal to watching on DVD? Yep, because first, the cast was exceptional, claiming no fewer than five of the 18 participants in Survivor All Stars and a few others who could have been. The group included Texas powerhouse Colby Donaldson, villainess-bartender-"aspiring actress" Jerri Manthey; tough Michael Skupin; Keith Famie, the chef who couldn't make rice; buff personal trainer Alicia Calaway; sweet Elisabeth Filarski (who as Elisabeth Hasselbeck later became a TV personality on The View) and her protector Rodger Bingham; mom Tina Wesson; savvy Jeff Varner; and pretty Amber Brkich.  Second, the show was still new and the Australian Outback has an appealing freshness when compared to so many subsequent seasons in which the competitors are continually trying to game the system. The challenges are still exciting to watch (though they might seem relatively tame). There was also the beef-jerky incident, the Colby-Jerri dynamic, Rodger's cliff jump, and the domination of the Kucha tribe before the game turned. You might have forgotten many of these developments over the years, though the season was represented on home video by the 2000 highlights compilation The Greatest and Most Outrageous Moments (also included in this set for completists), which now feels a lot like the dreary recap episode that drags down almost every season. The bonus features are pretty good as well. Colby again proves he's top dog by recording commentary for two episodes with host Jeff Probst (who calls the Texan "one of my closest friends"). A more titillating combination is the commentary by Kimmi Kappenberg, Alicia, and Michael for two episodes, including the famous finger-wagging incident and Michael's misfortune. Keith, Rodger, Tina, and Amber also pitch in on commentary for two episodes, and all nine of the above contributors are interviewed for the half-hour of featurettes. (Jerri and Elisabeth are the most notable absences.) Unlike some Survivor DVD featurettes, these are all Outback-specific, offering insight into luxury items, real dangers, and eating, and Keith gets an opportunity to redeem himself by demonstrating how to prepare a dish of paella. The real appeal of the set, however, is watching the episodes again and remembering why Survivor: The Australian Outback remains the standard against which all subsequent seasons are judged. --David Horiuchi

    42 Days, 16 people . . . One Survivor
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 28, 2005*

I was never a fan of reality television, and to this day only watch two reality shows, Survivor being one of them. Thus, I watched only one episode of The Australian Outback when it was on television. The first contestant voted off, Debb Eaton, lived in the next town over from where I grew up, so I tuned in to see how she did and after that, didn't tune back.And now after watching this fantastic DVD set, I am disappointed I didn't keep watching. While I have seen only the three most recent seasons (All-Stars, Vanuatu and Palau) plus the DVD of the first season, I can understand why people who are big fans of this series consistently rank Survivor Australia as one of the best seasons ever. The perfect mix of people in a great environment led to a truly captivating series.The second season provided some very memorable moments, moments that can probably be included among the very best in Survivor history. Of course there is the famous beef jerky incident where "aspiring actress" and resident evil woman Jerri Manthey accuses Army officer Kel Gleason of smuggling beef jerky. Who wasn't thrilled for farmer-schoolteacher Rodger "Kentucky Joe" Bingham when he confronted his fear of heights and  his lack of swimming ability by leaping off a huge cliff into the water below? I am sure everyone was happy for gourmet (yes I think he can cook rice) chef Keith Famie when  he proposed to his girlfriend in a quick internet chat from the Outback and she said yes. His emotion was genuine as he grabbed Jeff Probst and hugged him. Of course, the incredible relationship between Kentucky Joe and young footwear designer Elisabeth Filarski was a unique one, but one that kept them together until the last few days. Jerri's flirting with Colby Donaldson was amazingly pathetic, and it was actually funny to watch him as you knew he wasn't even remotely interested. And who can forget Michael Skupin's fall in the fire, the one move that essentially changed the game.Of course, when Colby, the auto customizer from Texas, chose Tennessee mom Tina Wesson to join him in the final two, he assured he would finish second, but knew that Tina would be a deserving winner. This was a great moment in Survivor history, as a player put his friendship and alliance ahead of his own personal game. Not until Ian in Pulau did we see something quite like that again. It was a good move and Colby came out, although not with a million dollars, looking like the good guy.Throw in some great characters, such as Maralyn "Mad Dog" Hershey, the retired cop from Virginia, Amber Brkich, the youngest of the group, who would go on to win the All-Stars edition, yet who in this edition was quite tentative, but hung tough, the conniving Jeff Varner who would start a battle between others and watch it brew, trainer Alicia Callaway and her finger-waving, and vegetarian Kimmi Kappenberg, the butt of much of Alicia's finger waves and you have the makings of a great season.By comparison to the seasons now, these Survivors were given a lot to help their survival and the challenges weren't quite as difficult as the ones we have seen in the past few years, but they were still quite entertaining and it was great to see the original challenges that some of the newer seasons have used, or built off of.The story of the season early on was the domination of Kucha at the challenges. They had Ogakor feeling down and depressed and it looked like, heading into the merge, that Kucha would have the numbers to just pick off Ogakor one-by-one. Then came Michael's fall in the fire. When he was airlifted out of the game, Kucha lost their advantage and the planning by Ogakor came into play and they were successful, as the final three were all members of the original Ogakor. In the end, it was Colby's domination that helped to push him to the finals, where he chose Tina to sit next to him and the rest is history.There is a reason that five of these castaways (Alicia, Colby, Tina, Amber, Jerri) were chosen to participate in the All-Star version. This group of people was one of the finest casts assembled and the dynamics that came into play really made this season a joy to watch.And of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Elisabeth one more time. In the first season, the incredibly beautiful Colleen Haskell became "America's Sweetheart." In this season, the incredibly cute Elisabeth took over that role. Her relationship with Rodger gave her a very real feel, and to anyone watching, she felt like she would be someone you would be friends with in the outside world.The bonus features on this disc are very solid. There are six different commentary tracks, with two from Alicia, Kimmi and Michael (including the one where he falls in the fire), two from Keith, Rodger, Amber and Tina and two from Colby and Jeff Probst, who really began defining the role of realilty show host in this season. To this day, there is nobody who has that role down as well as he does. The two with Colby and Jeff are really, really good, while the others are very good and insightful. There are a couple of documentaries as well and the mid-season recap episode is included. Also included in the set is the previously released "Greatest and Most Outrageous Moments" which among other things features little bits on every Survivor and their time in the Outback.On a personal note, I was watching that bonus disc and during the spot on Debb, they showed her sitting on her motorcycle on my mother's front lawn, which happens to be right next to a covered bridge. It was pretty funny to see and took me by surprise.So whether you've been a fan of the show since day one, or it something you are learning to like, this set is top-notch. You will not be disappointed. Now let's hope they consider releasing more season sets.

    The best season yet???
  

*by I***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2005*

I'd read for quite some time that Survivor: The Australian Outback was THE best season of survivor yet. Though it was extremely enjoyable, and I loved every moment of it, it wasn't, in my opinion, the best season thusfar (This title firmly rests on the shoulders of Survivor: Pearl Islands - and, NO, not just because of Rupert!).That said, "Australia" posesses many of the qualities which makes for a truly spectacular Survivor season:Firstly, the casting directors for Survivor excelled themselves in choosing such a diverse group of individuals to play the game(more-so than Borneo)and presenting us with sixteen 'characters'  to love and loathe. I found that, while watching, I grew very fond of certain people (no prizes for guessing who), and, of course, not so fond of others (again, no prizes for guessing). This is probably ONE of the best casts to have ever played the game.Secondly, the challenges have improved vastly since Borneo, with more creative minds working behind the cameras (Compared to "Australia", some of the challenges on Borneo look foolish and simple). There is also a greater sense of drama and excitement surrounding both the reward and immunity challenges (This is most certainly true of the former, considering the conditions the survivors had to endure).Thirdly, I feel that many elements regarding the actual production of Survivor have changed since Borneo: The editing has become sharper and more exciting; Russ Landau's musical score is even better; and Jeff Probst seems a lot more confident and sure of himself, and the game, than he did in Borneo (Obviously).The presentation of the product is, once again, excellent, with superb audio and visual quality. Also, the decision of the manufacturers to limit the amount of information that each episode summary gives us on the disk cases is good.Once again, the bonus disk "Survivor: The Australian Outback, The greatest and most outrageous moments" proves to be an excellent touch, giving us a glimpse at some of the survivors' (weird) audition tapes, as well as interviews and never-before-seen footage.The cast commentaries on six of the episodes are insightful (to say the least), while the documentary "Home from the Outback" provides us with a view of just how strange some of the survivors really are in 'real life'.On the other hand, the main titles (usually one of the highlights of each seasons' pilot episodes), prove to be rather disappointing, and one of the weakest I've seen yet (I mean, compared to the titles of "Vanuatu" or "Palau", it really lacks lustre).Overall, "Australia" is a very impressive season, with many highs and lows (On that note, just whose idea was it to locate the Barramundi camp in the bed of a dry creek? Mark Burnett? If so, it just proves that, once again, he is always one step of the survivors in every way. It may or may not have been planned, but, either way, it proved to be some gripping stuff.An excellent season!Oh, and by the way! For the record, Elisabeth Hasselback is now my new Colleen Haskell.

    My favorite season of Survivor...because I'm sort of twisted.
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 24, 2011*

I am one of those people who can fully explain the show Survivor to you, and I can, without thinking too, too hard, list all the winners in order.Season two, Australia, is the best season of this show, and I believe it will be hard to top.Season two, filmed while Season one was being aired, was filmed before all Survivor wannabes had agents and head shots.  These are still real people and the show was still really interested in attempting to kill them.  This was before every challenge ended with a puzzle or before every reward involved masses of food.  There's one food challenge that rewards the contestants with a handful of Doritos.  This was when the producers weren't terribly worried about things like death and lawsuits and people actually dying out there.  It was less outwit, and more outlast and it made for AWESOME television.Face it, we all find it more fun to watch regular people fight to the death for a swallow of Mountain Dew and a single Pringle, than we do when they win a feast, which they gobble and then barf in the shrubs.  Get down to your old school Survivor roots and watch this season!
