The young boy, who lost his dog in the plane crash, confesses that his mother died 2 weeks ago, and another character says "You're having a bad month". That was pretty tasteless.
Then the spoiled little rich girl turns out to speak French, and that's suddenly important. Something tells me they are each going to have some survival skill that everyone else needs.
And, of course, there are the numerous flashbacks to the plane crash. Every time we learn a little more about a character we have to relive the plane scenario.
But - I watched it through to the end, so it must have something going for it. I just hope it's not going to be Survivor with people getting eaten, instead of voted off the island.
Then there are all the commercials for coming attractions, like Trading Wives (reality show) and Housewives Out of Control (I think it's fiction). I don't think those are the real names, but you know which shows I mean. It's bad when you can't tell the reality shows from the fiction. Maybe those commercials are just there to make the show you're watching look good.
I wonder what kind of survival skill I would bring to an island? I wouldn't be hiking up the mountainside, that's for sure. But I would have my nail clippers and tweezers with me. (Oh wait, maybe not, they were probably confiscated at the metal detector.)
