I just like certain people and want to see them do well, and if they don't then I don't give a fuck about the rest of the people that I don't care for. You watch reality TV to... watch likable people? The what? Reality TV is not "feel good TV" in any shape or form. It's at its best when there's drama and tension. This vote was a total mess but I couldn't bring myself to give a shit because this cast is so flat. My favorite seasons have entertaining people making good TV, whether that's through vicious blindsides, humorous confessionals, or intense drama. I like examining the human condition and if there's no tension, a season doesn't feel human. This season is robotic and bland. I see Martin agrees here. You're in a huge minority, Ermine - if you want to watch "likable people doing well" then watch Let's Make a Deal or something. I find that show incredibly boring because it's just watching people I have no investment in get free stuff. This is similar in that I have zero investment in these people. The merge episode should have been great, but there are so few colorful people here that it was hard to care. Worth noting that among my least favorite seasons are ones where I didn't find anyone rootable, while some of my favorites have people I adore do well and people I hate get awesome comeuppances. But you need to have both. This season has neither. It's so soulless. When Mike Gabler is the only person popping off the screen in any way, and he's frustrating to watch, you know you have a big dud of a cast. MartinFF7 posted... Survivor: very happy with that elim, but also realized I don't think I care for any castaway other than Cody which can't bode well for me??? I guess I can also root for the continuing Gabler trainwreck, lol I'm not exactly happy with the vote out, but I'm not mad either. I'm just like "what ever countie voting" in response to it. The soulless editing has turned me off, even with an episode that looked good on paper! Maybe it's just that I've seen all this before and this did literally nothing that other seasons didn't already do better. --- Come check out my movie watchthrough topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80167031 <cite>BlueCrystalTear posted [p:969024240] in CBS Realit...
