The show Surivior, is a reality show that has been on since 2000. It consists of sixteen competitors of all different nationalities, of both male and female. They are on a secluded island for 39 days, where they have challenges and must fight for their survival in the game. The ultimate prize is to win 1 million dollars and the struggle to get to the end is both demanding and competitive.
In this episode, I noticed evident discrimination against women in competitions and even at their camp grounds. Men exclude girls left and right on this show, and in this particular episode, the men dominate their tribe and say to one of the other competitors which is a woman that she cannot compete in it because the men do not believe that she is physically fit enough. They have not even let this girl compete in previous competitions at all whatsoever, so they are basically judging on the fact that she is a girl and believe that is is not capable of the tasks asked of her. Why not give her a chance? Obviously the men do not think that she is even worthy of that..
