that has alot to do with it. The majority of those working on survivor are Aussies so you see how his shows turn out.

and their camera techniques are crap as well..i'm not sure how much this has got to do with the budget, but rather talent...

hence quality.

imagine an amazing race with only $400 000 per ep. would look el crap because theyd have to saher personel and a cameraman would be seen in every 3rd shot.
I was talking more along the lines of non-reality TV shows

You can tell that they REALLY don't want non-americans by looking at "The Rebel Billionare". Branson is English, most of his companies are in England, but he has American contestants ...
Yeh that is very annoying that they do that! I'm amazed Branson wants an American running his Empire

still the budget for shows like Amazing Race and survivor are about $1mill US/ep. Its relatively cheaper than that of Dramas and comedies which cost twice or 3 times that.

Still US networks get much more money/ ratings point than aust networks. There's 15 times the viewers!

Way more than that when you consider how many US shows are exported to other countries. Ie. Australia.

hahahah Colin got screwed over with the Yield. I think the revenge would be good. And very suprised that it was a non-elimination leg.
And Colin is soooo annoying at the Ox thing.
lol @ Colin: "My ox is BROKEN" and "I hate you" to the ox.

When Chip and Kim yielded Colin and Christie, it was awesome... the look on Colin's face was just priceless, hopefully the finish last at the next point, even though the should have already been eliminated in my view.... Go Chip and Kim though!

On last night's episode...what was with the whole jellyfish thing? They showed the jellyfish in an ominous way, implying that someone would get stung by it...then nothing happened. What a waste that was. Also I'm glad the mums got eliminated...however they always manage to make it sad when anyone gets eliminated so I feel bad for them even if I don't like the team.

Ah well...go chip and kim I really hope they win
