'Survivor: Gabon' Competitor Pays $400 For a Hamburger

Posted by Nick Solares, November 29, 2008 at 2:00 PM

Okay, I realize that this went down a few weeks ago, but I have been traveling and just caught up on some TV shows I had missed. Apparently no one else here at AHT watches Survivor or we would have brought this to you sooner. The auction is one of the more entertaining features of Survivor—competitors are given $500 cash and host Jeff Probst auctions off food and other luxuries. Competitor Matty showed that he was a true hamburger lover when his first and winning bid was $400 for a hamburger deluxe and soda.

How much would you pay for a hamburger if you had been stuck in the jungle for a month?

I would never be (by choice) stuck in a jungle; too many icky spiders. Me being apart from my loved ones, cheeseburgers and tacos would be too much.

Btw - Love your writing and posts, Nick.

Depends on what the other options are. If I could get a can of Spam for $200, I'd go for the can of Spam cause the calories per dollar value is much higher.

Hey listen, when you've been living on bugs and dirty rice boiled in swamp water for 38 days, you'll pay anything for something that actually resembles real food. If I had been Matty, I would have done the same thing.
