Sims Survivor Bobopolis


The reality television show craze is starting to wind down. There are not as many odd ball ones starting up, but the mainstream ones are still going strong. Shows like The Amazing Race and Survivor are winning in the ratings again and again. Today's Warped site is one that Survivor fanatics will like, one that combines the excitement of the show with one of the most popular video games of all time.

The name of the site is Sims Survivor Bobopolis. Everyone's seen Survivor and everyone's played Sims, so the folks at Bobopolis decided to put the two together. The result is Sims Survivor. The game is simple, eight contestants are going to be left alone in a house and the one who survives the longest is the winner. Sounds a lot like Big Brother, but that show isn't as cool as Survivor so this one is called Sims Survivor and not Sims Big Brother.

They are placed in the house and then left alone to do whatever they please. There is no human control so the Sim contestants must fend for themselves. All their actions will totally be based on what the computer makes them do. They are given a limited amount of money and once that runs out, unless they get some more cash by some means they may start starving. There are 18 episodes of this show, and are all available for online viewing. It is kind of cool to watch this unfold. There is also a second season called (what else) The Sims Survivor Season Two Bobopolis. It is even more developed and refined than the first.

This is a very entertaining site, one that shows how warped, weird, and entertaining the Internet can be, all at one time. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site a 9.0 rating.
