To outdo Survivor, follow the rules of all sequels: faster, and more intense.

The terrain was harsher, the climate was angrier, and Nature very nearly got the best of the castaways on more than one occasion.

Survivor 2 was no replay, no matter how many Challenges were carbon-copies of their predecessors. It was post-modern adventure gaming: rather than 16 fresh-faced castaways, we got 16 Survivor fans who had watched and studied every moment of the first show. This group hit the ground running, and nobody went down without a fight.

In the end, Tina proved that the game could be played any number of ways, and that Richard's strategy was far from the only one. Survivor is a game of infinite permutations, and if the bar can continue to be set this high, it will be a fascination for a long time to come.
