Surely it couldn't cost that much to do it 1-2 days later and secretly fly the winner's family out (tell all the families to be ready on the date they might be flying, tell the final 5 or so, etc) and then after the votes are read the family gets to run out onto the set. It would give Jeff the tears he so dearly loves

Yeah let's give starving, emotionally exhausted people a bunch of alcohol and grill them about how they just lost a game for a million dollars with the cameras still rolling. The game is over, give those poor people a break. Back in Borneo, Rudy got 90k for finishing third, I wonder what the non-1st payouts are like these days.

if you come in third and get no votes you should be allowed to design a challenge for next season, like the one that Make-a-Wish kid designed for season 29 that broke Missy's ankle, but with more spite

This will never happen, they axed the Loved Ones visit to save more money and they have enough problems with leaks and spoilers as it is. (plus only flying out one person's family would be a pretty bad look, i think)

Finally watched the finale. Not a lot to add really. Was pulling for Cassidy, thought she played a better game, but ultimately she definitely seemed to lose by the social game. Gabler had too many good relationships with too many people and I think he had that thing where a lot of people felt like a win for him was partially something they helped make happen. Cassidy didn't seem to have that and she had some more bitter endings and it seems like that did her in. So I guess Gabler played the better game. If you get the jury you earned the win. Too bad he's apparently a chud shithead. Owen's only real chance of winning was probably winning F4 Immunity or the fire challenge. That sort of "I survived, I fought my way here" underdog thing doesn't work if you get brought to the end. Nothing you can really do about that. Owen had a rough game largely not of his own mistakes. He made mistakes but everyone does, he just had zero margin of error. But that's the breaks. Toss me in with the sentiment that they should give the losers a night to sleep, eat, and cry. Doesn't need to be a live finale, just keep them around one more day while you bust up sets or something. Give them time to process. All in all I mostly enjoyed that season although its not a great one. We got one all time player out of it with Jesse plus a couple of memorable ones in Kayla and Cody. Not too bad for a "forgettable" season.

Last year my wife and I binged all the necessary seasons leading up to and including S40 and then took a big break before jumping back in for 43. I’m a bit surprised that once someone is cast, they don’t practice making fire at home. Has any castmember talked about this, like maybe they do try to prep but just nothing can prepare for being out there for real? I like that quote from Jeff on fear/timid, that seems to jive with our overall impressions. Part of our enjoyment now is just seeing how psyche’d Probst gets for the show. With all the obvious scale backs to save cost, I do wonder how many season are left. Is it still objectively cheap to produce? I remember like 10 years ago scoffing when I heard the prize was still $1M, so kinda funny that it has stayed the same. I guess that also makes it cheap.

Reality shows and gameshows in general are legendarily cheap. Especially when you can film 2 seasons in one go like Survivor does.

Some people just don't think that way. Even on Jeopardy!, which you'd expect is the most tryhard show on television, a bunch of people go on that show without ever studying basic wagering strategy, or refreshing themselves on low-hanging fruit like "state capitals" or "names of English monarchs". They just go on and see how they do!

Every single season on RuPaul's Drag Race, there are queens who don't know how to sew, even though they know that there will be at least one sewing challenge. Some get others to help them, others manage to pull something off using just hot glue, and others flounder terribly. Pinterest Mom posted:Some people just don't think that way.

Maybe it’s a difference in UK and US gameshow culture, where in the US I’ve seen people describe themselves as professional gameshow contestants (while appearing on gameshows) and in the UK any idiot can end up on The Chase.

Yeah, a friend was recently on a gameshow (and won his episode). Since he's started meeting other people who have been on gameshows, and almost all of them have a resume of different gameshows that they've been on. Many of them have non-compete clauses, preventing them from appearing on another game show within so many years, but they seem to apply for new game shows the second that period is up.

But it's also just part of the game and you know it's coming so it's really not that big of a deal to have the non elimination episodes. They just have 24 players and 24 episodes to put out (and the final 5 & final 4 are their own individual episodes), so the math just makes it so they have to have a couple episodes where nobody actually goes home.
