too many twist.

[Brian Southworth]

Well I can't defend them any more. 5 people with immunity this week. WTF>>>
I've already written a letter to CBS to complain. I mean come on its not even Survivor any more. The only thing left thats survivor is the Million bucks now. We have twists and turns that don't make sense anymore, 3 finalists, 2 immunity necklaces, uneven teams, weird tribal councils where half are immune and eating steak. Bahhh!!!!!!!! If they keep this up next season i'll quit watching.

AND I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!

This is what I've been saying all along. THey took a perfectly good show, and ruined it with recruits, immunity idols (that aren't even used), haves, have nots, 3 finalists, not 2, etc. etc. The challenges are mostly puzzle solving, not that it's a bad thing, but the puzzle thing is way overdone. I used to really enjoy the auctions, endurance challenges ( keeping hands on a post, balancing a beam, etc. etc.), and of course watching "real people". I;ve posted before and I'll post again, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". It just lacks the interest it did before, just look at this board. I thought it before, but now I'm sure, survivor "jumped the shark" and as always, as not to offend this is just my opinion.

I have to agree with you. Way too many things going on at once. What happened to the Survivor everyone loved? Bring that one back.
I can't believe Dreamz had his chance to vote Stacy out and he didn't, after all that talk with Mookie.

most of the twist are solutions to prior problems--if they work or not is up to debate.

5 at tribal council--lets face it, in every other year the tribe that merges with #'s votes off 2-3 members of the other tribe right away ( till they turn on each other acourse ) BORING !!! knowing whose gone several esp's in a row. 5 at council with no time to talk had 3-4 differant alliances there better chance for a suprise.

3 finalist--why? because it had become habit for a strong player to bring a weak player to the final with them for the easy win--you have noticed most final votes are not very close. If we had a final 2 last year it would of been Ozzy vs Becky or Yul vs Becky--why watch the final--a blow out.

Tribe switching--this started in Africa, tribes split and systematicly voting 1 half off--again too predictable-so they mixed it up

Idol--worked well the season with QB Gary, so they added it. Problem acourse was the next 2 seasons the 2 strongest players found it and really didn't need it. The real problem was that teams usually sent a strong player from the other team to exile Island so only strong players were going to find it. So putting at camp improved the chances of weaker players finding it. Gets played 3 times this year.

Recruits--don't like it myself, I understand they want people who "look " well on T.V., I don't mind that, what don't like is there all are clones of each other, 8 guys and 8 girls who look and act the same. I still can't remember Edgardo from Alex or Stacy from michelle.


Most of these happened BECAUSE it was broke, the real question isn't should they fix it but are the changes any better than the problems were.

Rant over

If the show did not have all the twists then it would be too predictable. Everyone watching thought that Boo was going to get voted off since all the different alliances agreed throught their different eyes and ears. Then next time it was supposed to me Stacy but because of the twist Michelle was voted off. So now Dreamz and Mookie are worried because Alex kept Stacy. The question is how the immunity idol that Mookie has be used since so many people know that Mookie has it? Yau man only told one person,Earl. Predictability is boring.

This series of Survivor was going nowhere at the start , If it was not for all the twists we would have the most boring Survivor to date.
It the first time my wife and i have agreed on our Favorite Yau-Man and our most hated LISI.(Waste of Space)
Glad to see the back of LISI , i used to work with someone like that and what a real bitch she was.
I Understand that too many twists can piss people off , but this series was going nowhere and needed a injection.

This season started off to be a real stinker with the have's and have nots,But now it has so many twists and turns, its hard to remember who was with what tribe and who did what to whom, i also like the "crazy factor " aka Dreamz, who knows what He's thinking. So I say Nice Save Producers DONT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN

ok after the season played out i'm not as mad. Still miss the old rules. Still think that one or two twists is ok. I think the final 3 thing sucks and the 9-0 shut out kills the previously stated argument. Final 3 makes the game less cut throat. I still love this game because each season is different. You never know where people will draw their lines.
