I *love* Survivor. It's my fave show on TV! The current Australian 
series (that is, the series set in Australia) is going really 
well...  hope Elizabeth of Colby wins ;) I think it's a great show 
because, although it doesn't have any 'real' merit, it's a good one 
to think about and talk to with your friends. Some of the people on 
the show are just really likeable, and some are really unlikeable, 
and they both add to the show's overall enjoyment. As far as I'm 
concerned, Survivor is the best game show on TV... altho I wouldn't 
go so far as to label in pure 'reality' tv ;)

On a side note, I hate Jerry Springer et al as well... and I 
absolutely loathed Temptation Island. The things that that show did 
to people were just awful; it was the worst TV show I've ever seen. 
Next to it, Survivor is relatively tame!
