Deri,

    I would go for it! They have a similar series here across the pond
called
Survivor 2. This year it is taking place in the outback of Australia. I
never
watch it, but last year's series "blew all over prime time shows out of the
water" vis-a-vis viewership. If you can withstand the hardships, it should
be
quite an experience.
