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.
Anything in main stream entertainment is completely devoid of any appreciable worth.
I haven't watched TV at all for 2 for 3 years now, but even before that all I would watch, on occasion, was Discovery channel pretty much, and even that got completely corrupted, can't be recognized anymore.
I miss the days in my youth I could go there and some very interesting documentary about the universe, sharks, crimes, freaking mythbusters or whatever would be on, don't matter what time of the day.
Now all you get is garbage fucking reality TV BS, people running around naked in the woods, fucking auction house nonsense, car building nonsense, people looking for gold or some shit... the fakest stupid things... and by now I mean like the 2 or 3 years ago which was the last time I even tried, can't even imagine how it's like now.
And I do know that mythbusters was kinda reality TV-ish, but damn it was awesome.
