In days past, Friday mornings at the office always began with a recap of that Thursdays Survivor. No one evens watches any more. Bring back the Big Toms and Ruperts. |
Again, 1/3 rd of the cast or 16 are over 35. I'm not getting this we want older stuff. Are we to go halfsies? I can't think of any season where half of them were older than 35. Can you elaborate? And I don't think that this cast is all that good looking either. They've gone pretty middle of the road with this crew in my opinion. Kindda like Cooke Islands. I think that they were going for "Nice" personalities this season or "Likable". I can't wait to see these "nice" people turn on each other. I think its gonna be a building season. Give it a little more time.
I will agree that the older seasons were better. I think its because they weren't trying so hard to MAKE great T.V. . The older seasons were more about Surviving than Drama. They have changed quite a few things to make the show more appealing to the masses. Its working, unfortunately. Their ratings have actually increased in the last few years. They went from an average of 9 mil to 14 mil. I guess we'll have to settle for "Great TV" instead of "Harsh Reality". I know, it sucks, but I still love this show. I'll just keep watching the older ones and saying, "Remember when they made them suffer for the money?"
