"I'm really looking forward to the release of Pearl Islands. This is my favorite season of Survivor yet, and I'm glad that it's coming out right after another of my favorites, Australia. The Pearl Islands season of the show was proof that Survivor was still in its stride. This season truly had it all: memorable characters, exciting twists, fun challenges, a simply beautiful locale (that has since been recycled for use on All-Stars, another worthwhile season to check out on DVD), and an awesome pirate theme that really added a lot to the show. You had two characters representing the opposite ends of the spectrum: the ultimate villain in Johnny Fairplay and America's hero, and most popular castaway ever, Rupert Boneham. This season also brought out one of my favorite winners.

This season also contains the infamous Outcast twist, which a lot of people were unhappy with because they felt it went against the entire idea of the show. While I agree with that notion, I loved the twist because it made for really exciting television.

In short, invest in this season of Survivor. It is impossible to be disappointed, because, as I stated above, it truly does have it all: suspense, characters, location, etc. In short, a memorable season of a memorable TV series."
