What if to compete in Immunity Challenges they have to fly to different countries around the world and shovel manure/skydive, and then return to the island for tribal council. CBS hire me.

Basic Survivor, except if a Pagonging starts they'll have a dude with a boombox play the world's most obnoxious song (My Way by Limp Bizkit) on repeat. The more pagonging, the louder it gets.

That whole season is pretty freakin lmao

I bailed and looked up who won (it wasn't a surprise) because marathoning survivor... gets real draining imo, the week to week format really helps it. That said, the first half of 28 is just a chef repeatedly kissing his hands

I just started binging the season so this is from ages ago, but CNN told Anderson Cooper that if he wanted to stick with them and keep doing real journalism, he couldn't be off hosting a game show. They tried doing it without him but no one could come close to being as good a host as he was, then they went gimmicky with D list celebs and killed any chance the show had. Phil Keoghan could have pulled it off, he has the same energy, but I imagine they don't want one guy hosting multiple shows at the same time.

He actually does host two shows now (Amazing Race, Tough as Nails). The problem with Phil during The Mole's timeline though is that TAR was doing two series a year at the time (ala Survivor). That's a crazy amount of work, if it's even possible.

If you ever want to try again, the first 29 seasons are on Prime Video.

Season 29 is also fantastic. It's a huge gimmick of total strangers getting paired after a quick event that works way better than I would've expected


Sighence posted:

TAR has more rubber banding than any racing game ever made. I get why, because their first few seasons had none, but now it feels like your game hinges on the whim of a taxi driver.

I can imagine it needs it for production's sake, but imo the balance here is to include a lot more self-driving (which some seasons have). I think a good equalizer every 2-3 legs does keep the show interesting, especially when a power team falls behind and previously would've had no real catch up.

I also do think there's a skill though to the Taxis, and knowing when to bail on the extremely lost cab driver is huge (hell, Natalie Anderson does this with her twin pretty effectively).

Survivor chat: Shan's EW interview is out. Highlight:

My focus with Heather was that it wasn't about Heather, because Heather has no game. But the thing with Heather is that she was crucial to Erika's game. And my thing with Heather was that I was like, "No, you're a vote for Erika, and Erika, I believe, is smart." And I kept telling people that I think we should take out Erika. And I think one of the ways you take out a person without having to take them out, if people are so set on, "Well, let's wait," is taking out their right hand man, which, I guess, is also the same thinking of Deshawn like, "Let's get rid of Ricard, because Shan's the most powerful player in the game." So, my thinking there was, I think Heather just needs to go.

The Monty Hall Problem Problem is about how many posts about the Monty Hall Problem get made whenever it's brought up.



Anyhow the good example of the monty hall problem is when you use a million doors as an example but i got top 5 recap videos to watch.

The one I read about is that Kass was convinced by Jeff uhh, really dunking on J'tia's challenge game for like an hour and a half, and she changed her mind because of that, and used that to push Tasha to vote for J'tia as well in whispers.
