Anyway, every season is boring in the beginning. Last season was totally sucking until Jonathon jumped over to the other team. Yeah that was so awesome when they let Jonathan play again in Fiji, just like Stephenie. He was TOTALLY a risktaker. ok, two season ago. whatever, I can't keep 'em all straight I can't really blame you considering how forgettable the last season was. =/

They cast beautiful people and they cast personalities they expected to go far, like Chicken or the female wrestler, left. Now they did this gimmick to try to stop the season from being too obvious. It's not a bad season, but it's not very entertaining. You've just described both Cook Islands and Fiji. They were alot worse with these things than this season is. It's a big step up from them. GO SURVIVOR CHINA!

This one has the editing but none of the characters. CI had neither.

We've seen both good and bad points of each person this season, making them more true to their real personalities and very fleshed out characters. Last season we had only bad points shown of some of the contestants, e.g. Lisi making them seem like bigger characters, when they are actually not, they're just more one dimensional. People can't be completely bad all the time. The make both good and bad desicons and have both good and bad sides to their personality, as is being shiwn in this season. So having both sides of the contestants personality mean you are left to make your own mind up about the characters and not have a certain edit rammed down your throat telling you which players to like and which to dislike. IMO, their are just as many big personalities and characters in this one (Jean Robert, Sherea, Courtney, Peigh Gee) it's just that they all have a balanced edit, making it harder to pick out someone who you dislike / like.

I like the fact that you're not braindead. Good job. (I was aware of the redundancy when I posted... but was like, "meh." ) Anyway, makes one wonder why there's no Survivor Live this season, eh? wink wink nudge nudge

Aside from Palau, and maybe Guatemela, Survivor never really cast "beautiful" people. I mean, yeah there's like one or two per season, but usually, everyone looks normal. You're kidding right? Palau didn't have anyone good looking except Jeff and Jenn. Guatemala had 1 of the fugliest cast of all the seasons up there with Borneo and all its old people Well, I don't know about you, but I thought Palau was full of hot people. Aside from Coby, Willard, Angie, and James, everyone had perfect fit bodies.

Dramatic stand off and stand down between Denise and Dave at the eatout = fake. Tribal council Shirea antics (including Fairplay-style rhyme time voting) = fake. This season of Survivor is only fun inasmuch as I get to count how obviously forged it is.

Let me direct you to the Big Brother 8 forums...come now...this way.

Jame's "stunned" reaction at TC when it's admitted that the girls "threw" the challenge = fake. The blatant way the girls tossed the challenge = fake.

Dare I say it, it even seems a bit fake. I'm curious why you say that. Does it seem like acting? Or is it just so good that, in comparison to the last few turds, it's too good to be true? Are you seriously suggesting that, after fourteen seasons, they're simply just going to try to pull a fast one and just 'make up' a season? For your sake, I certainly hope not. The twist started to piss me off, but it didn't really mess things up. It's funny....a lot of us hated the twist at first, but after the drama it caused last night (which wouldn't have happened otherwise), I doubt a single person would still wish it was removed.

Some of them falling off looked so, how shall we say, not genuine. ps: James acting da fool = uhm yeah. Last week's Courtney/Frostie budding showmance = ditto, quite a gripping love story going on.
