Survivor is an outstanding show in that it shows human nature at its best and its worst. It is so interesting to watch the interaction of the cast--the plotting, the manipulation, the genuine love and affection, the back stabbing, the loss of a conscience and the emotional reactions. By the time the reunion show is aired, it is evident that cast members have forgiven each other for their deeds on the show, and some have even remained friends. So it is very fulfilling to watch the character growth of each cast member and realize how much this experience has changed them.
