Now that's what I call surviving

Do any of you watch (the reality tv show) "Survivor"? I was watching tonight's latest episode and for the reward challenge, whoever built the best "SOS" that could be seen from a passing airplane, got a food reward. The reward was airdropped from the plane and when they opened it up...it was MREs!
Well, not full MREs, but MRE entrees and heaters at the very least. They even got a few bottles of wine...but sadly, I don't think it was Franzia (what goes better with food in a box than wine in a box?).
What was really funny was when they kicked the box of food out of the plane, I was expecting a parachute to deploy and land it softly in the water. But no...it just had a drogue chute on it that only served to slow the crate down a little bit. As I watch the crate slam in the water, I thought "I sure hope that food was packed well". I guess if it was MREs, they didn't have to worry.
I'll try to get a clip of the episode posted soon.
