Survivor

This is simply one of the big landmarks of TV history for better or worst. The first season was addictive and insanely entertaining. It took awhile to figure it out but as one of the contestant soon realized, this is a simple game show at its core. Everything else is a matter of set dressing. It is however one of the most original game show ever. The best thing about the first few shows is that the contestants were still figuring out how to play the game. As the years have gone by, the contestants have settled on strategies and the game has become repetitive. No matter how many changes to the game, the shock of originality has been lost. But this show will always have its place in TV history. It signaled the start of a whole new genre and that doesn't happen every day.

I have an idea for a season of survivor. In today's world with everybody being so sensitive and entitled why don't we have a season where the "snowflakes" battle the "Karen's" ? Obviously it would have to have different titles because the snowflakes and the karens would be offended by this title but I believe this could be one of the greatest and funniest seasons ever produced.

Even though I watch too much television, it's rare for me to become addicted to any show. This is a rare exception. Season one is now over, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It's already one of my favorite programs of all-time, and even though I have doubts about how much I will like the next "Survivor" season, I'll always remember the first season as genuinely entertaining (and at times, riveting) television.

Oh, and the right person won, too!

So last night's tribal council was ridiculous. Drea (who's black) shows up with her group at the 2nd tribal and sees 2 black players sitting in the jury box and she basically has a meltdown that turns into a big scene because she thinks that the first 2 people to be voted off being black was so racial. Only problem is, though they were the first 2 in the jury, they were NOT the first 2 to be voted off! The first ones to be voted off were as follows: voted off Survivor 42 in Week 6? - Lydia Meredith - White voted off Survivor 42 in Week 5? - -Daniel Strunk - White Week 4? - Swati Goel - Black?

Week 3 - Jenny Kim - Asian Week 2 - Marya Sherron - Brown Week 1 - Zach Wurtenberger - White

But once again Jeff wimps out and goes PC and says nothing about this, and neither does anyone else! Unbelievable!

'nuff said!

Season 41, I believe is the beginning of the end. The show used to be such a diverse social study on different classes, races, religions, etc. Living together, starving together, laughing, crying, competing, arguing, and celebrating together while trying to outwit, outplay, and Outlast your fellow competitor. Now you can't say the word "guys".

What used to be the greatest reality game show on the planet has been deluded by watered-down challenges and cancel culture. Survivor lost over a million viewers in just one season and I will be one of them. You're not truly surviving on this show anymore like you did in the first 15 years or so. Phrases that have infiltrated the lexicon of English language used in multiple versions of survivor around the world have been attacked and you can no longer address a large group of persons with a plural word like "guys"anymore . CBS and survivor have caved to cancel culture and snowflakes and what was once possibly the greatest game show ever created has just become a parody of what it used to be. I for one will truly miss survivor and I will continue to watch the first 40 seasons over and over.
