You know, I think it's time for Survivor to move to a 2-hours/week format. It wouldn't matter too much whether the hours were back-to-back on Wednesday night, or if they ran it one hour on one night, and the second hour on another night. Either one is fine with me. But it's hard - especially early on in the game - to have any kind of feeling for the vibe of the tribes. When Colton started going off about how he hated Bill's voice (and calling him ghetto trash
), I was truly surprised. We hadn't seen anything at all that would support such a claim.
When we got to tribal council, and Bill launched into his 'THIS IS INTENSE, MAN!!!' routine, I understood what Colton was talking about. But until then... not so much.
I was really put off by the women and their frequent need to mooch off the men. I don't know if the mooching is happening because the tribes are divided by gender, or if it's because the tribes are pretty much in one camp. Whatever the reason is that's allowing this to happen needs to get nixed before the next season. They've really bastardized the whole premise of the show, and it's very un-Survivor-like.
How crazy is it that I'm complaining about how they've wrecked the show, yet simultaneously suggesting that they add another hour each week. Go figure.
Anyway, I'm glad the women have picked it up a bit, but hope they never mooch off the guys again. And I'm happy with the men's choice for who to boot off.
