Almost all of the email and comments are "I'm Never Watching This Show Again!", but then if you look at the ratings, they actually gained audience last night. More people watched last night than watched the opening episode!
I put up a poll, asking what people thought about Russell and most people "thought he would make it interesting". More people wanted to torture Russell than had no opinion at all. Amazing.
He's also number 6 on the "who do you like" poll. Wow. Casting did it's job this season. Survivor: Samoa | Poll Archive |
The Romans enjoyed blood sports. People took picnic baskets to the first battle of the civil war. It's human nature. As the producers, you/they have to decide whether you want a game or a documentery of human depravity. As it stands now you are quickly approuching the line where you have left behind one and embraced the other. I came into the show around the fifth season and enjoyed it because it had an interesting game model populated with colorful characters. But the show is slowly drifting into the darker side of human nature with recent cast members. Just because people slow down to look at a car crash doesn't make it ok to stage them at rush hour. Sometimes you just have to draw the line.....
