    S39 was like, “hey, it’s the peak of the Me Too movement, let’s cast this Dan Schneider type LA creep and not do anything when female cast members complain. We’re a social experiment!”

    • @ajl9772
      @ajl9772 4 місяці тому +33

      To be fair, this is the way they normally operated. They'd cast 2 opposite people and watch the drama unfold. They knew and expected Dan to be very touchy. They expected Kellee to be annoyed and off put by it. 15 years ago, it would have been played for laughs or edited out completely like with Bob. I'm thinking Kellee or someone in production brought up the metoo movement and they realized they messed up by not stepping in sooner. Quite a few players have stated production was very misleading in the edit to make it seem like they were more competent than they were. Players claim they didn't get a talk like the one described by the show. The Dan incident that got him ejected was viewed as BS to get rid of Dan and eliminate any chance he wins the season. Oh and supposedly the whole confessional of a producer asking Kellee if she wanted them to say something was filmed after she was voted out. Production was even more incompetent than people already believed.

      The only Survivor Game Changers that I watch these days are the Survivor based episodes of a game show called Game Changer.
      (they did it twice, a two parter with 7 people, only 3 of whom had ever seen survivor, and in a later season a 4 part special called Battle Royale where they had 10 people competing with a little more knowledge of what the heck was going on, and invited a bunch of guests to help commentate challenges, including Rick Devens)

    S39 was handled so poorly I can’t believe the show survived. Putting the responsibility on Kellee to ask to remove someone from a million dollar game while she’s starving and also concerned about player reactions when they already have camera evidence of her asking for it to stop and it continuing, then she gets voted out with him cheering, he eventually gets removed without the players knowing why, and they give her 0 warning that any of it will air and she’s suddenly thrust into a national spotlight she didn’t ask for. Horribly managed at all levels

      I totally don’t condone Dan and 100% support Kellee. But I feel like producers have to also be careful to not remove players too quickly, or else some people might use it as a loophole to eliminate others. Imagine if someone said “this guy just flashed his ass at me, I want him removed”. Producers have to obviously set some threshold for removing a player. Keep in mind the show had a long history of tolerating things that would be considered sexual harassment today. Producers thought it was funny for Hatch to walk around naked, but you’d be arrested for doing that in real life

      I've always wondered what if Russell and Rob drew opposite buffs than they did with Rob being on Zapatera and Russell being on Omoetepe, what would have happened differently? I think they way the Zapatera tribe reacted to seeing Rob come off the helicopter as opposed to Russell, I don't think they would have thrown a challenge to get rid of Rob like they did with Russell. Even though Omoetepe had Grant and Matt and Andrea was pretty strong in challenges, Zapatera had more strength when it came to challenges and if they had Rob instead of Russell, they would have dominated. I just don't know if Omoetepe would have thrown a challenge to get rid of Russell. I also wonder what it would have been like if Russell and Philip were on the same tribe. He definitely would have alligned with Natalie and Ashley and Francessca and Christine would have seen right through him right away, but Philip would have probably still done the same thing he did in the first episode and Francessca would have still been the first boot

Nobody bullied Bhanu on the tribe or outcasted him, and he was higher on the pecking order than two other castmates. Bhanu's problem is that the moment he thought he was in danger, he fell entirely apart. He seems like a great guy, I just can't imagine him being good at social strategy without someone else making all the plans and telling him what to do

    I feel like Survivor (and most reality shows) try to let the players self police. They have the logic of "if some one is problematic than everyone will just vote them off" and while that may have worked 10 years ago when the game was more "honest" but the "meta" and player knowledge levels have advanced so far that any degree of advantage will be sized. In today's reality everyone is willing to "cheat" so cheaters have to be kept out rather than hoping they are the outliers. Dan and to a lesser degree Colton showed that players will not police themselves and predators will take advantage

    Hot take: Winners at War is in my top 5 of seasons. The theme of this season naturally causes problem. Theoretically, it should be great, but I'll explain what I witnessed, and why I have this opinion. There are "good" winners, and "great" winners. Sometimes this difference is subjective. In S40 nearly all of the "great" winners were voted out early/pre-merge. This left post-merge with 1 "great" winner to outplay all others, only to dominate the rest of the game. The winner of this season was ultimately, annoyingly predictable. This is a natural result and formula to an all winners season, imo. At the very least, I wanted 1 winner and his/her alliance to face up against another winner and his/her alliance, with some back-to-back rivalry. I'm not sure that could happen in a season like this.

    The first All-Stars for me was more disappointing than depressing, which is why I rank it lower than Island of the Idols. With what happened with Sue, Ghandia, and Courtney, CBS should have anticipated the worst when it comes to harassment. Yet, they didn't and provided half-hearted excuses for their severe oversight. Thailand is still number one. Brian, for me, is the worst winner of Survivor.
    The audience's reaction to Jerri during the reunion was horrific to watch then and now. Survivor has yet to edit the female competitors with the same thought and care as the male competitors. Producers framed her as some femme fatale when really she was a woman who didn't take crap and stood up for herself (and had one instance of googly eyes for overrated Colby). Your video even noted that the women on Survivor: Redemption Idol were practically invisible. Nonetheless, I'm glad Jerri received a version of a redemption arc in Heroes vs. Villains. 2000s era survivor really leaves something to be desired in many regards.

    I actually have All Stars as my number one all time favorite season. A hot take as well you could say, but I loved how much Rob and Amber completely changed the dynamic of the game forever onward. It really set the tone for how committed one's gameplay has to be in order to avoid getting voted off. It sucks though that Lex was the main victim of it. I also loved how real it felt when it came to the consequences of Rob's actions striking back at final tribal, especially with Kathy's wonderful jury speech (and I love that she still voted for him after all that).

Big Brother 24 is the most depressing big brother season imo

    My top 5:
    5. Edge of extinction- The season overall wasnt too bad, but the finale made me sad. Chris comes back and wins making the whole season feel pointless. The way the jury treated Gavin was unfair. They either were bitter he outlasted them or didnt even get to play with him and voted for someone the knew. I just felt empty afterwards. I view it as the worst season.
    4. Thailand- Yea it was just unlikable people. I didnt mind a Brian win cuz he deserved it, but it wasnt exactly a happy ending either.
    3. Game Changers- I was so much more disappointed with this than All Stars. All the people we wanted to see win (aside from Cirie) were gone by the merge. The way she went out was also disappointing. The Varner and Zeke moment also put a damper on the season.
    2. Island of the idols- You covered it well.
    1. South Pacific- Ive come around to liking this season than I did when it aired, but its still depressing. Coachran is bullied by his tribe. Coach essentially starts a cult and they control the game by using religion in a very uncomfortable way. People were nasty to each other. Also it featured Jack and Jill.

  • @kimclaussen9413
    @kimclaussen9413 3 місяці тому +1

    Yes to this top 3. 👏
    Honestly when I clicked to watch, my first thought was Thailand as #1 and then I thought "I'm sure there are worse." but... not really, for exactly what you said! 😂 I totally agree with the top 3 and why on all counts - I love the *cast* of All Stars and MOMENTS in All Stars, but I remember how deeply depressing it was to watch the first time, and even on rewatches, it still feels depressingly dark and bitter, and I think you articulated why. It should've been way more fun but instead it was just angry and uncomfortable. 😅 And I absolutely hate how ugly/bitter so many of them got, and how Jerri was booed on the Reunion.
    The only time I have genuinely wanted to quit watching Survivor forever was the moment Kellee was voted out instead of Dan (with his snide comments as she was voted out). I was sick to my stomach, so emotional, and lost so much faith in the show, Jeff, and the producers as a whole. At least it was ultimately handled better(ish?) than Ted/Ghandia and Sue/Richard, but still incredibly grossly disappointing.
    Absolutely the top 3 most depressing seasons. 👍 I won't even rewatch Thailand because it's just so awful. 😅

    • @MaximilliansHammer
      @MaximilliansHammer Місяць тому +1

      Yeah. Love them or hate them, players like Hatch, Lex, Big Tom, and Boston Rob were big personalities that were, if nothing else, fun to watch. And then on All-Stars they all turned into a bunch of toxic fools. And players like Tina and Rudy and Colby and Rob C. kind of go out like chumps which was just sad and depressing. And Sue was made out to look like a bitter whiner when she quit. And though her personality kind of lent itself to that, she was absolutely done wrong, so her exit felt really icky.
      So glad Heroes vs. Villains came along and redeemed the concept of an All-Stars style season.

    Great list. I'm with you on four of the five. I wouldn't include Caramoan because I put it in that same "entertaining disaster" category as say, a Gabon. I could see replacing it with South Pacific since the religious manipulation was so gross but I'd put Edge of Extinction on the list. Not just because Devens lost or because someone on the edge won but because it feels like 90% of the season is utterly pointless. You can't be invested in players. You can't even read the edit. It's just here's a bunch of stuff that happened but who cares because this dude you barely even saw won. EoE isn't a great season but it still feels like better editing could have made it palatable.

    Your list is great and it kind of highlights something I have felt for a while, IMO it is not a surprise to me that 2 of the 5 seasons you listed feature Andrea Boehlke (and she also did her best to ruin Game Changers), she is the best example of the worst kind of Survivor player; the player 100% clued in to the social games of everyone and 100% TERRIFIED of being voted off. Players like Andrea attach themselves to the tribe's dominant player, feed that player 100% accurate intel about the tribe's other good players, and one-be-one the handful of good players are systematically eliminated, leaving behind one good player and a bunch of empty husks playing scared. Zeke is another good example of this type of player. Survivor doesn't need to mess with the format too much, they just need to figure out how to identify the Andreas/Zekes and not cast them.
    Also, I 100% agree with you on All-Stars, when I recently did a re-watch of all the old seasons the only season I skipped was All-Stars, for all the reasons you mentioned (and a few others) that season is just terrible, brutal to watch, and I will probably never watch it again.

I 100% see why others dislike it so much and that’s COMPLETELY valid and makes total sense. But I have always been a big fan of Rob, as well as seasons where a player or group of players is pulling off an unusual strategy. The rest of the cast is honestly kinda shit, and I totally get why people don’t like Rob’s style of gameplay. But for me it’s weirdly entertaining to watch. I’m sure a lot of that is nostalgia speaking from when I was a kid and thought he was super cool lol. But nonetheless I just rewatched it recently and I still had a fantastic time watching the gameplay, seeing Rob control everything and outsmart everyone(even if most of those players were complete idiots) was enjoyable to me for some reason.
