Finale? Every episode? Total average? False? Post some links that back up your statements or go back to the mole thread (its the black guy, duh).
Here. In spite of premiering with 1.3M less viewers, China increased ratings overall, notably in the finale with its 1.5M increase in viewers. This is especially good because of many reasons:
A) Survivor was in it's 15th season.
B) Survivor: Fiji was a spring season ending in May sweeps (and also starting in February sweeps), when more people traditionally watch TV. China in
comparison, ended in December when ratings are typically down overall.
C) The final episode of Fiji had Yau-Man in it, providing casual (and not so casual) fans with a fan-favorite and a reason to watch. China's finale lacked
the casual fans' hero in James.
D) In fact, the Fiji finale had 3 positive characters (Yau/Cassandra/Earl), 1 with a mix of positive and negative characteristics (Dreamz), and 1 who was
neither positive nor negative (Boo). Regardless of the truck situation, entering the episode at least 60% of the remaining contestants were positive.
Conversely, China had 1 positive character (Denise), 1 who was neither positive nor negative (Amanda) and two who were negative (Courtney/Todd). Again,
regardless of Denise conning EPMB, 1/4 of the contestants were positive, while half were negative. Considering that many of the casual fans like good people
winning (recall the positivity about Yul winning, the joy of Danni besting Stephenie, and the backlash against Vecepia, Jenna and Hatch), there would be more
incentive for people to watch Fiji's finale than China's finale.
With those facts in consideration, again, explain how the finale combination of Denise/Amanda/Courtney/Todd is stronger than the finale combination of
Natalie/Cirie/Amanda/Parvati.
Oh, and I hope that it's not the person who got a shitload of clues about them in the first episode, because that would be even worse than the shit with
Bill.
