Eco-Challenge days. It seems like he has totally given into the corporate side now. I know that in Eco-Challenge Australia they would never have gotten Native Aussies permission to track through certain sacred regions without really proving that they would be respectful and Yothu Yindi and David Hudson would never have let their talents be used in the show without such protetcive promises.

Oddly enough I think Survivor took a serious turn for the worse after its Australia season a few years back. The challenges became a lot more simple and they started lining up more and more T&A shots... the respect and decorum that used to feel at least a little genuine now feels like glossy consumerism. Sort of sad really...

What they are doing in Guatemala is nearly beyond the pale though. As soon as I sa that they were camped nect to the temple I felt ill. Where the hell are they shitting and pissing anyways? I think I know now.

Thanks for the post DA.
