For viewers of the reality show Survivor the rules are simple. Contestants must outlast, outlive and outplay each other by avoiding elimination until the final tribal council where a jury of former opponents chooses the winner. Behind the scenes the show-s contestants are required to sign a multi-page contract delineating the rules of the game.

The contract is individualized for each season but many of the prohibited practices date back to the shows debut. The survivor contract includes a standard release clause and consent to continuous filming of event the most private moments along with a provision for strict adherence to laws governing the United States under threat of prosecution. There is the obligatory clause stating the rules can be changed at any time.

There is some question as to enforcement of these contract rules and stipulations. One of the contract-s clauses clearly states that contestants may not conspire to share in any prize yet I remember a past contestant bartering for immunity in exchange for a truck. Another contract item prohibits contestants from damaging or taking personal items of another tribe member but I-ve seen many players ignore this rule in past seasons.

Maybe the answer is Survivor cops and Survivor prison.
