Top 10 Worst Things About Survivor
Don't get me wrong, I love this show. But there are some flaws that REALLY irritate me.Seriously, I want to see more of the survival and social aspect of the game. I love Survivor Guatemala because it was mainly focused on survival.
Survivor in one sentence.
Island of the Idols sounds like a twist that was made at the last minute, and it is super pointless and it sounded like they were rushing to get a twist and came up with this. And the person who won the season didn't even go there.
Less themes based off players' occupations, we need less of seasons similar to Cagayan and bring in something new like more tribes.
Yeah, having more than one or two a season seriously dilutes their impact. How can you be considered a true Survivor when you get a shield? That doesn't happen in life. (unless you count bribing a cop or something like that)
One at each camp is fine, but when it's replaced after being played, it gets overpowered. Survivor Guatemala had ONE IDOL.
The cast assessments are awfully biased.
The absolute worst season ever. They obviously rushed casting, twists, and challenges. And the season was WAY too focused on making big moves, therefore ruining the reigns of some legends.
This twist is terrible. It's just a hidden immunity idol you can only play on specific days. This advantage is what ruined Cirie's game.
As I mentioned, the Legacy Advantage was terrible. We also got the Reward Steal, Extra Vote, Vote Steal, etc. Less twists!
I can't believe they are keeping this twist in. It's an insult towards the general format of the show and discourages smart gameplay. Now your fate in the game is based off your ability to make fire rather than your ability to play a smart game. Screw this twist.
They make it too obvious who's winning. Even the first season, we all knew Hatch would win.
Winner edits are seriously annoying. Survivor HvHvH had by far the most unbalanced winner edit ever.
Yeah, it's pretty disgusting how Probst doesn't even bother to hide his affection for those he considers "worthy" Survivors. I mean, Cochran? The guy who weaseled a whole show and then came back as a "favorite" and was granted a golden road to victory, then said he would never play again in an unrivaled spot of hubris? Come on!
No matter what, Jeff Probst will do anything to bring up his boyfriends. Colby, Boston Rob, Cochran, Ozzy, Zeke...
Yeah, it killed the Survivor Auction, which was one of the best parts of the first shows. Sometimes a change to the show is a devolution, not an evolution.
I though HvHvH would be okay, but now I see that they're going for the too-many-twists crap that ruined Game Changers. come on Survivor, just let the people play the game!
Survivor uses favoritism rather than getting viewers' opinions (with the exception of Cambodia) on who should return. That's why we got Brandon, Phillip, Corrine and Francesca returning rather than actual favorites like Shambo, Erinn, Leif and Benry.
It's quite obvious Probst tried stuffing in as many of his boyfriends as he could into Game Changers.
Guess what, Mom! I was named the Ultimate Survivor even though I only spent three days with the whole cast!
Come on, I thought we were supposed to have a physical aspect in this game. No wonder Ozzy never won immunity in Game Changers.
Part of the fun of Survivor was seeing the new location year after year after year. Now we have Fiji. It's a great location, but even eating the same great birthday cake on every birthday gets a little old, don'tcha think?
Lazy, lazy, lazy. It's OK to number Super Bowls. But by numbering Survivor seasons you make them sound as though they are all the same exact show run multiple times. Which, in essence, they are.
Here's a hint: If you're have a requirement or an edict to make things equal, you're being as repressive as those who would keep others out. #dropmic
Hey, Survivor -- it's your show. But tweaking the results is really no different than the Quiz Show scandals of the 1950s.
How do you live with yourself when you know, deep down, that the results of most seasons are tainted?
