I really enjoyed the Survivor discussion. In some ways I agree with the two of you. In other ways I disagree. I don't think Eliza is right in saying the players don't suffer or bond with 26 day seasons. Remember that they don't give the players any supplies anymore. No food. No anything. That makes a huge difference even just compared to limited supplies. It's also why it's silly when fans say that Australian Survivor is tougher at 47 days. No it's not. They get three meals of rice of beans every day. Also, a huge part of the shift is the meta of the game. After 48 seasons, fans have seen the game play out so many times that they know there's life after Survivor. They've seen so many players have emotional wounds heal over time. They bond and get salty about betrayal but they get over it quicker because they're better able to compartmentalize that it's a game. Now, I do agree with Eliza that a huge part of that is because the casts are disproportionally composed of superfans. We need more of a mix of casuals who will take betrayal personally... just not so many that we end up with season 48 where people are preaching loyalty. I'm with Britney that Jeff tends to force the issue too much rather than just letting it play out. We don't need our hand held with him narrating the moment. Just let it be organic. However, Eliza is right that he does that stuff because he cares and thinks it's for the betterment of the show. He cares and that's rare especially considering how long he's been at it. Finally, I like the personal stories. I want to know about the players. But I want that stuff introduced in more organic ways which they have gotten better at. It was definitely very shoehorned in 41, 42, etc. I hate it being labeled as "kumbaya" because it feels reductive of what is really just basic human decency much like how people say Jeff said he's "not casting villains" when what he actually said was that he's not casting people who are just being jerks for the sake of mugging for the camera like a Colton or Hantz. He just wants people who are being themselves instead of playing characters. Anyway, sorry for the long rant that probably no one is going to read. Love the content and the discussion!
