Fourth episode okay not everyone is a total rear end in a top hat, and some people are actually normal and worth watching. Looking forward to watching more tonight with the wife as it left off with enough of craziness cliffhangerons.

Sometimes you need to watch a few episodes to get into a show. I didn't like the first episode of the Circle, but by the 4th episode I was all onboard for more.

The original Naked and Afraid is good terrible TV too by the way, almost every episode is "two people who kind of hate each other"

My favorite was the guy who quit smoking like the day before he went out there, and I think brought duct tape with him. Then peaced out after like 4 days because he was going through nicotine withdrawel and left his partner by herself for 17 days or something like that by herself.

I would definitely not want to see a stranger naked in the middle of the outdoors for a month. It’d make me appreciate clothing so much more.

Yeah, I think we're almost finished with S1 and it's been pretty good beyond the insane drama of the first few episodes. Some of the people still have their lovely baggage but they've learned how to keep it in check because of other circumstances.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Naked and Afraid can be cool but they were doing returnees by second season despite very few people on the show being interesting enough to me to want to see a second time. I guess I was rooting fro the Afraid rather than the Naked.

You know, while most things would be outright impossible to smuggle on to the show, LSD would be possible (maybe even somewhat easy depending on the producers) and I wonder if anyone has ever spent their first day on the island tripping balls. I sure as hell would.

I'd rather see Naked and Afraid people trip balls. They would either hug the panthers or scream endlessly. Or probably both in that order.

No reason for shame. "Watching broken people suffer but try to make the best of it" can describe 99% of all TV shows, from Wagon Train and The Honeymooners and Sgt Bilko and Lost In Space to Us, and Chernobyl, and Marvelloud Mrs Maisel and Lost in Space and Big Brother and Survivor...

They still haven't released the full cast. But Australian Survivor All Stars is starting on Feb 3rd! https://10daily.com.au/entertainment/tv/a200105gdmwy/the-countdown-is-on-we-finally-have-a-start-date-for-survivor-all-stars-20200106

Although the notable returnees that have been announced are 2 of the shows winners, Shane Gould and Jericho. Also the challenge beast Locke is coming back.

It'll probably be more entertaining than the all winners US season...

Yea, but at the same time their pool of players to cast an all stars season is 95 so their options were probably pretty limited. They still haven't released a full cast so hard to say if they are still trying to do a 24 player season or if they are casting less players for it.

Zack is the worst one, that guy sucked as I recall. Hope he gets booted early. The rest of the cast is pretty stellar

I believe that Benji was supposed to be in that slot, but he couldn't make it so Zack was the backup.

You need villains though and Zack was probably the biggest villain the show has had, other than maybe what...David? (who was a superb villain)

I kind of love how lazy Naked and Afraid producers are. In one episode, they're talking about how they're literally starving (after one whole day) and how there's nothing to eat, and then in the next shot you can see the giant pile of bananas next to their camp lmao

Cool, was afraid to look too hard for the full cast due to not wanting to get a spoiler on the winner...

It's a good cast and yea, pulling 24 all stars out of what is probably a 94 player base is bound to get some stinkers in there. (Luke played twice and I'm sure Russel wouldn't qualify as an all star to bring back)

Mat was actually a pretty huge power player that just got too controlling too early, iirc. Could be interesting. Tarzan, ehh, I don't mind having a weird early boot guy in there, and he seemed like a decent dude. If Zack could be swapped for Benji this cast would be pretty much perfect. Not having Benji hurts, that guy was gold

Mat was also practically driftwood in terms of gameplay. He was pretty much 'get into the majority alliance, then get indignant when anyone tries to get out of it'.

And yeah, I'd even take Robbie over Zach. He was the least interesting of the trio but he was probably the least douchey and there were some funny bits with him and Lydia.

But hey, at least we got Shonee so I expect some decent dunking in confessionals.

Yeah shonee is the best. She needs to win. I really don't need to see Sharn again though, despite her playing s decent game last time, with s major bed poo poo at the end.

Edit: shonee kinda needs finella though to really shine. They should be allowed to play as one.

Was reading this Larry David interview and it mentioned he had been dating someone called Ashley Underwood, who I think is a survivor contestant. Makes me wonder if the Survivor sketch in Curb Your Enthusiasm was because Larry was inspired by having to think about Survivor via dating this woman. Could also be an unrelated woman with same name though.

Finally finished the first season on N&A XL.

Yikes.

There is so much broken here I can't even go into it all, but once you embraced the insanity it really made the show. The best part is watching people totally stab others in the back and talk massive poo poo, get called out on it, then go to the camera complaining that people thought this. The dude who caught all this food and threw it in everyones face that he wasn't going to share and then ended up giving it to them and then patting himself on the back for doing it. It was surreal. Holy poo poo.
