'Survivor' vs. 'Big Brother': Zap2it's TV Show Smackdown
(CBS)
7 of 13
Challenges
"Big Brother": For having a very limited backyard and house with which to plan these challenges, the "Big Brother" folks do an excellent job. Sure, some of the themes are cheesy. But there is always a nice combination of silly, endurance, physical, mental and eat-something-gross to the "Big Brother" seasons' challenges.
"Survivor": We love the knock-down-drag-out challenges "Survivor" makes the contestants do. The number of legitimate injuries on this show is pretty high. That being said, an eight-hour endurance challenge that flashes by in a two-minute montage is kind of weak -- we want to feel that endurance challenge at home, like when you watch the "Big Brother" endurance challenges on the feeds.
Winner: We have to declare this one a tie. Creativity goes to "Big Brother," while hard-hitting and grueling goes to "Survivor."
