So‚ there’s a man crawling through the desert. He’d decided to try his SUV in a little bit of cross-country travel‚ had great fun zooming over the badlands and through the sand‚ got lost‚ hit a big rock‚ and then he couldn’t get it started again. There were no cell phone towers anywhere near‚ so his cell phone was useless.

I’ve always dreamed about being on TV as a little kid‚ but who knew that I could actually do it on one of my favorite shows: Survivor. Survivor takes surviving in the wilderness to the max.
