Official "What I hate about survivor thread"......
I hate that the winners are not real "survivors"....
in this installment you had four women at the end... and NOT the tough chicks either.....

Tina rode coat tails...
and last seasons swim suit winner was crying to go home....


I REALLY enjoy the show... but the anti Darwin "vote off all threats early" attitude is creating less than satisfying final episodes.

This seasons show was good because initially all the cast offs were good choices, but the last half became a collection of nit wits acting against their best interests...


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR........

1. Nobody actually dies
A REAL "Survivor" show would involve death.

2. I really enjoyed this season, but...
...I do understand what you are saying. It's not just a problem with "Survivor" though. I first noticed it on shows like "Weakest Link" where the contestants are whittled down to the more mediocre of the bunch. The smartest/strongest player is always targeted early and voted off. On "Weakest Link" alot of the time the morons would vote out the most knowledgeable player at the beginning of the game thus lessening the chance of increasing the amount of "banked" money for correct answers. Duh.

6. Rupert played the game like a good scout....
it's a shame the woman who wore her morality on her sleeve,
(literally)
did not have the same character he did, and was able to lie to his face.

13. That it was ever conceived and put on t.v......
.....sorry but I loathe these kinds of shows...the last one had a dude from my home town in it and they have him doin' commercials all over our local station and during his tenure on the show they dedicated many morning news shows to his antics on the show as well as using national media time on every different network makes me want to never wish to view television ever again....all reality shows...talk shows....primetime *news* shows....ALL SUCK AND HAVE RUINED MY ABILITY TO EVEN WANT TO WATCH T.V. and actually makes me wish I didn't even own one anymore.....sure wish only cable carried these types of shows as I refuse to pay for MORE commercials and don't buy t.v....but now free t.v. had been corrupted and I rarely watch t.v. at all now except the occasional PBS program...which has become amassed with commercials now eventhough they still beg for contributions every other month now! :puke:

16. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WATCH
SUCH UTTER F***ING GARBAGE IS SICKENING. And folks, the more CRAP you watch, the more CRAP they give us.
