re: Question for survivor fans

wife and i have been going through all or most of the Survivor seasons over the last 3-4 years. Survivor has certainly gone through a lot of change over the past 15 or so seasons. And most of said changes haven't improved the viewer experience. And we both could forever do with less Jeff facilitated Mao struggle sessions over race and LBTQLMNOP+ nonsense. Instant "Next Episode" or fast forward for us.

we definitely noticed them cutting back to 26 days. sort of cheapens the winner, along with all the gimmicks involved in winning these days. You pair that with how hands on medical is, Survivors these days are getting off easy compared to seasons 1-20. If they bump their heads mid challenge they call in med staff, get an IV, a snack, a therapist session, and full check up right there and then.

which just makes me wonder what all comfort items they get off camera.

i also don't like how they've cut back on challenges per episode to include more drama into each episode. it used to be a reward challenge and a immunity challenge if i'm not mistaken.

and please please please, never bring back Redemption Island. good Lord, they wore that idea out.
