curiousCat posted:Literally all of that stuff is designed to be making fun of the men and what idiots they are, if it's not obvious Yes, they got gratuitous shots of women showering to put in thought bubbles to mock the men. Sure. Okay. I'm sure Jeff encouraging the women to strip for peanut butter in the episode titled, "Girls Gone Wilder" was also to mock the men.

Yeah I get that 'the edit' was going for laughing at goofball men half the time but. Like, the stereotypes? So many juxtaposition cuts of men killing it at their shelter and woman lacking authoritarian organization. Or woman talking about feelings and dudes talking about the boob. I had no idea Survivor was so base. I have a feeling what happened is by season 6 the initial hype was starting to wear thin so to sustain ratings they experimented with a sprinkling of big brother motifs but my god jeff my god e: Another Bill posted:I'm sorry are people just realizing that Survivor has more T & A than an episode of Baywatch is that what's happening

The network definitely tried some different stuff but luckily they backed off most of the skeeze.

Are you really complaining that a network tv show from 15 years ago with the premise that the two groups are separated by sex is being sexist?

What’s the fight here? “How dare you say sexist thing is sexist. It was in the past. It was a different time.” Yeah, it was sexist. It was really bad. It’s time and place doesn’t excuse it.

The most interesting part of watching old Survivor is how it's a time capsule of cultural attitudes. They do a race war season as well. Heap all that on Survivor if you want but it's not an entirely unfair representation of prevailing attitudes about all sorts of stuff back then. The past sucks, always has, always will, especially once you look at it through a contemporary lens. In another 10 years people will look back on us with equal disgust and disappointment, which is good. We're disgusting a disappointing and so will those future jerks to the their future folks.

I’m honestly shocked that in 40 seasons no one in production ever managed to get the okay on Survivor: Gays vs Straights. You KNOW they’ve been kicking that one around for forever.

Season 6 is one of the only seasons I doubt I would ever be able to rewatch and "just a fascinating time capsule of the time!" is a pretty lousy excuse. The show leaning so heavily into stereotypes and production actively encouraging these stereotypes and gross behavior was really bad and not really something that any other season of the show did. As bad of an idea as the race season was, at least we didn't get a bunch of weird confessionals / Jeff TC questions about stereotyping the other tribes and grossly objectifying the other players.

SlipkPIe posted:I really think the best strategy is to just come back and say, yeah, you can get an idol on the island, I got one, I'm playing it tonight, the end. No one is going to believe whatever bullshit you come up with anyway  Anyway yeah apparently Vince felt there could be an incoming swap before the next vote and that the idol would be very useful in that situation. He thought he was firmly with the women and thus safe. Oops mancalamania posted:Just speculation on my part but I suspect Karishma was just conferring with the Lairo women to make sure they all thought Vince wasn't playing the idol. If Vince was going to play it, Karishma knows her neck is on the line (and presumably the Lairo women reassured her that she'd be fine and Vince wasn't playing anything), so it makes sense she'd want to check in to make sure none of that had updated info and/or a different read on Vince since before Tribal.

And Jeff's like, "Sorry you didn't win immunity, you're all that's left so you've been eliminated. You are the weakest link. Goodbye."

They'd have to have some sort of established pt system like any fantasy league. So like 1 pt for each confessional, 5 pts for a tribe victory, 10 pts for a solo victory, 20 for successfully playing an idol, etc.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your post as "how do fantasy sports work?" I take it for granted from my fantasy sports days that most sane people just look side eyed at you with judgment if you try and explain it.

On the other hand you get 50 pts if you render Jeff speechless. The key to a good fantasy sports league is a wide array of scoring abilities so its not just dominated by QBs and RBs.
