Dreamz, Cassandra, Earl in the finale, with shit ratings. Reasons 1) Everyone knew Earl would win. 2) Players all belonged to similar demographic 3) Cassandra = weak, Dreamz = stupid, both = undeserving. Which brings us to the deserving Earl, which brings us to 1) Next.

2) Players all belonged to similar demographic To claim that a "similar demographic" is one cause of ratings decline (without specifying importance of each reason) is incredibly hilarious if quite racist; the majority of seasons have had a "similar demographic" in the finals and yet I haven't seen you mention that as a reason until now. I'd also like to hear how Earl and Dreamz belong to any other shared demographic besides a common ethnicity. Moreover, it's not like the producers wanted three black people in the finale, it just happened to turn out that way. Additionally, if I'm understanding your system correctly, stupid Dreamz makes it fairly far in the game based on challenge performance, no? Unfortunately, so would the other members of the Horsemen (or maybe Boo). Maybe YM slides through. This, of course, gets back to the whole "casting needs to be fixed" argument which I'm sure you'll disregard much like the other arguments against your plan. I still would like to know how the combination of Denise/Amanda/Courtney/Todd is stronger than Natalie/Cirie/Amanda/Parvati (unless you know that it wasn't). |

Did you know that the last two seasons that had more finale viewers than premiere viewers were................
Pearl Islands and Guatemala =ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I dunno after reading ArtieeLange's infallible logic that seasons like Panama with Terry and Aras and Palau with Tom and Ian and Cook Islands with Yul, Ozzy and Adam would have like 50 million viewers for the finale. : / |

But if your system were to work the way you claim, wouldn't 3 of the final 5 still be there. It's still Eric, Dreamz and Boo, and round out the 5 with
Edgardo and Rocky? Or Mookie or Alex? If that's not case then I'm totally confused. Why don't you go out on a limb for a change and give us your
dream Fiji F5? So many alpha men, have fun choosing.

But by your logic, Artiee, wouldn't a shitty ending to Fiji contribute to lower ratings for China, and thus a lower rating for the finale too? Especially
since China was just as "homogenous" as Fiji by your standards.

And technically, if you want to group people together, you'd have to include Amanda and Courtney together as young, attractive white girls who are model-esque. Seriously, you're a fucking racist, Artiee. |

I can't think of any other "reality contest" with this retarded mid-game switch-up, which is why on other shows, the best win. Using American
Idol as an example, imagine how stupid it would be to put them in "teams" for half the season.

Then just give who you think will make the F5. Why are you afraid of doing something like that?

lol at saying fans shouldn't determine the game and then citing American Idol as a positive example in the same post

Being white doesn't count since the
majority of the viewers and contestants are also white. You have to further distinguish and separate that demo, hence you're wrong again and China was
varied:
