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.
No. I disagree. I loved that show when it came out . Not so much later.
I stopped watching it about 10 years ago. It got too complicated and devious for my mind to follow .
I guess I was saying my opinion of the whole reality competition/shows in general is that they were trash. I valued it about as much as I valued WWF wrestling. But then again, I never spent much time watching TV anyway, so who knows, it may have been good at so e point.
Survivor is one of the only shows in the mainstream media that depicts Christians as normal members of society. That isn’t much but it does make me think Mark Burnett (who worked with Trump) might be a bit of a stealth conservative. At the same time I’ve seen other messaging that makes me think he’s one of the Satanists.
