Alright, so I am watching. I'm such a sucker for these sad yet happy reality shows.

Haha, me too :)

Wow, I will say it was more powerful than I thought it would be and affected me much deeper than I thought it would.

It's a great feel-good story. I'll most likely be watching it again next weekI will definitely watch next week as well.
I'm wondering what it's going to do once Survivor comes back in 2 weeks.It will be interesting to see the ratings tomorrow. I have no idea where they are planning to place it in the lineup. Edit: Ok, it is not on next week. It is the greatest moments of Survivor (Surviving Survivor.) Live for the moment was listed as a special. They are waiting for ratings feedback.
Bacchus;153217 wrote:Yeah, I saw that on Probst's Twitter. I guess that explains why they didn't have an "on the next" after the episode. I didn't see too much promotion for this (and only knew the show was on after reading an article from EW) so I'm not expecting killer ratings, which is sad.

Future episodes might feature someone who survived a plane crash, or a former athlete that was paralyzed. It’s all about people who have come to realize that life truly is short and we should all be enjoying our days as much as we can!It sounds like a sales pitch rather than "we have these in the can." Of course, I always read into things too much and have not done the research on this show.

Jeff Probst had to learn a very hard lesson last night: Fans simply don’t like to watch him in shows that aren’t titled Survivor. Last night’s Live for the Moment special got beat by everything in the demos…even repeats. 4.7 million.[via]

I am going to set my DVR to grab it, but I am not sure this is my cup of tea...
