Wife and I were worn out from a month of insanity, and wanted a way to wind down together. We thought "Hey, we used to LOVE the show Survivor! Let's check it out!"
So we sign up for Paramount+ to get our Survivor on!
Didn't even make it through the first episode. First off like a 3rd of the people are "Medical personnel" in some way shape or form so you know that means they are going to play up the clot shot.
Then they have multiple queer/gay characters which is not all that surprising, but this one guy has his sob story about missing his adopted daughter while his transgender pregnant husband works full-time.
Then the host asks "for 20 years, i've been saying 'come on in guys' is it time to retire that because of the word guys?" And the answer is YES!
The guy who said yes we should drop the word "guys" is like "survivor has changed so much in twenty years, now theres black and brown and LGBT people playing..." LITERALLY THE FIRST WINNER OF SURVIVOR WAS GAY!
I just...
We didn't finish the episode and cancelled paramount plus.
Where do people go to torrent these days anyway? is TPB still a thing?
Apparently Survivor Australia is closer to the original Survivor, without as much woke bullshit. I downloaded the first episodes of Season 5 and that description seems to be accurate. For example, out of 24 contestants, 23 are white. There is one Chinese dude. No token black. Zero token aboriginals, which I would have thought Australian TV would be forcing in at least one of those by now. And I don’t think anyone on the show is gay, or at least none are doing the stepnfetchit lisping gay stereotype.
It literally feels strange to see so many white people on one show now. It’s actually hard to tell them apart! We’re not used to this anymore haha.
It is. Sail the seven seas with your frens.
