I know this is a shameless plug, but I would highly recommend reading my book as you are rewatching the early seasons. It specifically talks about what it was like to experience Survivor as it aired and what it was like on a week to week basis as we were introduced to the show for the first time, and how the world reacted to it. It would make an excellent companion piece for anyone who is going back and is reliving the franchise all over again.

Feel free to ignore this if you want, but here's the link if you (or anyone else) is interested: https://www.amazon.com/When-Was-Worth-Playing-Experiences/dp/1512069884

There's another of its ilk, Mario Lanza's book. It is an amazing time capsule that takes me back to the good ol' days when everyone was talking about Survivor.

As for the Burnett books, they offer some really good insight to those early seasons and what production was thinking/worried about as they were going through filming. Worth a read for sure.

I'd go with an early season because they tend to give more attention to social stuff.

I'd go with Amazon or Vanuatu because the gender and social dynamics are interesting and pretty clear. Other seasons require a lot more 1-to-1 dynamics that require more work to understand.

I'd also let your teacher know that leading psychologists watch and review Survivor: https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Survivor-Psychologists-Unauthorized-Psychological/dp/1933771054/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485977095&sr=8-1&keywords=survivor+tv+show+psychology

The Daniel Lue 2004 calender is one of my favorite Amazon pages of all-time. Just check out the reviews:

"Nice looking guy, but no nudity, and all the pictures are of him. This wasn't stated in the sales literature....was expecting maybe many guys, with the photographer's name being Lue. They were unclear."

"If you own the Mary-Kate and Ashley calendar you will notice many similarities such as 12 months and many days and a photo for each month. If you are concerned about the appropriateness, don't be because pants are worn throughout the calendar. It makes a great centrepiece for your Thanksgiving dinner, simply add autumn leaves and dried cranberry. You'll forget you don't eat turkey!"

"This is one cool calendar if i had a nickle for every really cool calender i saw i wouldn't have many but i'd have one for this because its cool"

Mark Burnett wrote a book about the making of Borneo. There have been a number of AMAs with contestants and people who worked on the show. Seems like you might be particularly interested in the AMAs with camera men who have worked on the show. The Survivor Historians podcast talk a good amount about behind the scenes stuff.

Back when I was a kid I used to play a P.C. game of Survivor. https://www.amazon.com/Survivor-Interactive-Game-PC/dp/B00005ME4Z, it came out after Australian Outback and before Survivor Africa, you'd get to play as one of the Contestants from those seasons. It wasn't great, but the challenges were kinda fun.

I would highly recommend The Psychology of Survivor, it's a really good book if you want to learn about the social psychology of the game.

u/school4life · 2 pointsr/survivor

Not sure what you're looking for but [this book] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1933771054/ref=pd_aw_sbs_14_2/155-9958942-9280840?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QET2WAW0XKM4PP5DK34R&dpPl=1&dpID=51e5k6KVmIL) seems to fit your description. There is also the book Mark Burnett wrote [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Survivor-Ultimate-Game-Mark-Burnett/dp/1575001438) that gave behind the scenes details about the first season.

u/howdoyouaccountforme · 3 pointsr/survivor

Quality video games like this one, for instance.

OH and I also recommend that if possible you read "Survivor: The Ultimate Game" by Mark Burnett. He wrote it while Borneo was filming and it's deeply illuminating.

u/JustJaking · 2 pointsr/survivor

It's called When it was Worth Playing For. I haven't read the actual book but while he was writing it he put the drafts of the chapters relating to Borneo on his website, so I read those.

I'd never heard about that, either.

>To many of the trans people I've communicated with, Jeff was not simply saying Zeke was deceitful, but that to be trans is to be deceitful. On national television no less. Whether he means it in his heart or not is sort of beside the point.

When people have said 'he didn't mean it' I believe they are referring to the outing, period. Varner never said being trans was deceitful, in fact he immediately said the opposite. You could argue that he equivocated with his whole 'capability to deceive' logic, but that's the extent of what you can accuse him of. This reminds me of the myth that Vietnam veterans were 'spat on' when they came home from the war. How the audience has interpreted these events, for good or for bad, has got to be attributed more to the producers who set this up and neatly edited it for us, the national tv audience.
