Where are the Mature Contestants

[sdmarrs]

Come on, Jeff.
Where are the mature contestants?
I'm really tired of having to watch near naked youngsters, whinning and complaining.
Put these kids in REAL survivor positions and they would quit.
Please put more older contestants on.

I think they are going for a young hip M-tv crowd this time. Look we have a 19 year old!! WOW a new FIRST in Survivor history. Hmmm, lets try to think of other new FIRSTS they can have? I think I have a new thread for us!! LOL

How about a first with the over 40 out numbering the children?
Come on. If they can't have more "old" people on, then I guess I'll watch something else on this night at this time. It's getting real old with the half naked children.
If they can't produce something for us old folks, we'll look somewhere else.

The Amazing Race looks pretty good. They are very diverse. They produce for an audience of all ages.

Just my opinion.

Dude, I'm with ya! I'm pushing 40 myself here! I was being completely facetious! I hate M-TV BTW. Haven't watched it since I was a teenager which mean backs in the 80's. That was when they showed videos. Like 120 min. Anyways...

This has been the first real nudity since China and that was done by 35 year old Dave. This season Tyson is 30 Y/O.

Also, its hot out there. I think Jeff said it was 110 on the first day. I'd be taking some clothes off as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't like seeing twats hanging out of daisy dukes ( thats a reference to Amanda BTW) but I understand the lack of clothing.

Median age is actually 31.8 (almost 32, yes I did the math) with an outlier because of the 19 year old skewing it to the left. 1/3 of the cast is older than 35. another 1/3 is 27-34 and the rest are 19-26 ( three of which are 26) It seems to be a good cross section with the age groups.

Also, is there anything else to watch in this time slot? Really? Just kidding. I'm sure the History channel has something on.
(which I do watch a lot of by the way!)

I think a series with 45+ ages would be a hoot! I would hope they would make it a real survivor and skip all the damn rewards!

Most of the old people suck at physical challenges.

I enjoy the older characters more than the constant 25 year olds who make up 75% of the cast. However, I think they need to just have a good mixture. For season 19 my ideal cast would be 4 teenagers, 4 twenty-somethings, 4 thirty year olds, 4 forty-fifty year olds, and have 2 that are in their sixties, or older.

Then again, i'd also like the entire cast to be made up of people who ACTUALLY APPLY.
