Haven't watched the first episode of the new season yet but if there's anymore of the woke ******** Probst introduced last time, it will be a hard pass for me.
"Should I stop using the term 'guys'?"
And the guy crying about representing the hard of hearing community while talking about his pregnant husband. Utterly ridiculous.
If you want to wreck a franchise, follow the above plan. Based on the promo ads I saw in the last month, a lot of people tuned out. A message along the lines of you don't know what you've been missing.
I can't watch the US version any more. Australian Survivor is better on every level.
Also love the way they air 3 episodes a week (Sun Mon Tue).
When Jeff decided there was something wrong with saying guys that just about did it for me. Still watching though but really no comparison between the shows. Australian head and shoulders above US. I think it starts with casting much more interesting characters on Aussie version.
I still watch too but that was also the low point for me.
And it was not just him asking the question that bothered me. It is my belief that after everyone immediately said "no, that is fine, no one cares" that I think a producer coerced one of the contestants off camera to "change their mind" the next day so that the whole thing would not look moronic for even asking such a dumb question.
It looked so dumb that I also think that if they were not able to get some one to flip, that they would have simply edited out the entire question.
