By Genevieve Polillio and Jamie Shatz

Ever wonder how to survive “Survivor”? How real is the “Real World”? Are you tempted by “Temptation Island”?

Well, after a long survey process we got your thoughts and opinions on this new fad of television.

Top luxury items to be brought to Survivor: chapstick, pictures of friends and family, cell phone, razor, blanket, soap, lighter, knife, stereo, toothbrush, matches, pillow, food, deck of cards, and tweezers.

Top reasons to watch reality shows: attractive people, the “reality” of them, fights and action, strategizing, and drama.
