This show - and this board - would be even worse if any of the players came off like real people.
The editing stereotypes help condense a month and a half of footage into 14 hours of watchable television. If there was more footage of Russell sitting around talking about loving his kids, or Shambo explaining her enlightened philosophy on gays in the military, or Monica the Mehsbian's favorite nkotb or whatever this show would be completely unwatchable. We as the audience are, by and large, retarded. We need these simple caricatures force fed to us.
For each criticism lobbed at the editors of Survivor by people at this site, I strongly suggest you first consider that much, and if you still believe in some mythical fantasy land where earlier seasons had 6 hour long episodes and you felt like you knew everyone, fucking put yourself down because you're clearly even more retarded than the wardens at CBS think you are.
Remember Dirk? Oh yeah, he was a religious guy, friends with Dr. Sean. He was a hillbilly and voted off early.
Remember Betsy? Oh yeah, she was a cop, she didn't trust Russell. She was a lesbian and voted off early.
