Richard, the guy who won, walked around naked a lot and was from California (dogwhistle) and then got in a lot of trouble for evading his taxes. At the time I did not think of it as a trump vs hillary thing but I guess it was i actually rewatched it last year during covid malaise and there was no dogwhistling —— he was gay and called the f-slur multiple times by an older contestant (who he became friends with) among many other instances of homophobia he was also the only person to realize they were playing a game and use strategy and alliances to win

You're talking about something that is an entire generation removed from today's methods of making reality TV. Nobody on that show "acts" like modern reality TV contestants because they weren't brought up watching other people on Reality TV. it's sincerely a very good time capsule of people in that era BECAUSE it pre-dates so much of what would become considered normal for "Reality TV".

It's cool that literally no one on the business side of Show Business has any idea what people like or why they like it, while thinking that they have more perfect/complete data on this than ever before.

quote:But as Variety has independently confirmed with measurements from Nielsen, the Nexstar exec was correct: the median age for the CW’s primetime viewer throughout the 2021 calendar year was 57.4, according to Live + 7 Day data. That counts initial linear viewership and a week’s worth of delayed (mostly DVR) viewing where available. CW and Fox are competing to have the youngest audience

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:you can't deny —— it was great television Survivor was a springboard but there was nothing within distance for these people to jump to, they all became quasi-celebrities who would show up for jokes on late night monologues or like a cameo on The Drew Carey Show. Now, Influencing has become that platform you can springboard onto from Reality TV, and they all know it. So, they're preemptively grooming their personalities to become a streamer, influencer, etc. afterwards. You can be a Villain, but you cannot allow yourself to be cancellable.
