Featured review
Survivor at its lowest
I have not missed a single episode of survivor's 39 seasons. For the most part, I am drawn more by the sporting challenges and the castaway survival aspects that also draw me in with movies and shows if the same theme. However, instead of doing gameplay, gameplay is nearly the most active verb being used to describe the show and used on the show.
In internet blogs and webpages , information about survivors misgivings to women has run 20 years with few exceptions. Previous sexual harassment was glossed over. And women contestants told what to wear, however impractical for sporting challenges for the sake of ratings. And the statistics of women success to the end is far from equal. So maybe this is a real depiction of society. Other countries versions of survivor are interesting to watch. Women win far more often. And their view on how to play and display the game are bit to the left of the US version.
This season has been disturbing as we watch sexual harassment continue by Dan. Then producers give us a double episode that is painful to watch
is CBS trying to raise the issue about the topic of Me 2? Or are they exploiting women and this situation for profit? I really can't say at the moment. And since CBS controls how these people are edited and shown on TV, it's hard to say we know the whole story. But if we take show at its word, here is what CBS showed, condoned, and painfully raked its audience through:
1. Dan, inappropriately touched several women. Whether he realized it or not. And maybe his livelihood is at risk from this behavior and tv airing the way they did. 2. The victims cared more about winning than doing what was right. Shown both by their vote, but also their words on the show. Even when supported by producers and tribal, the victims chose to use the situation for their advantage than correcting the scene. Voting off me 2 supporters instead of alleged offender 3. Both women who were victims and and not, used situation for gameplay. This season has been filled with "after school specials" with people touting their high morals. But then trampling their values for a couple more days in this game. Very sad to watch. Left a bad taste in my mouth. 4. Producers acted way too late. Private conversations early on could have saved Dans professional reputation and given him a wake up moment to correct behavior. And the women to know that they are protected. Instead, Jeff probst, grilled Dan and others for what appeared as ratings. He was in a position of power and abused it within the game to force confessions and an obvious agenda for the network (while misguided, maybe for highlighting wrongs of society) While Dan was wrong, you could see how pained he was. And embarrassed. Flogging on tv for millions was gutting to him and not the right way to handle it. 5. We now know the price of allowing sexual harassment. It is the chance to win a million dollars and ratings. Because if CBS wanted to correct the situation correctly. They could have. Jeff talks directly to us for 5 minutes to say what happened (by what their lawyers allow him to say), what action they took, and how they will work in it in the future. We would not have been surprised by it. We saw all of it happening in all prior episodes. This season has been so unsettling. I watch tv to step away from the world to relax. Not to see how both people and CBS can mistreat women and Show how badly they mishandle taking care of the situation. CBS has all the power (selecting castaways, dripping castaways, Jeff Probst words that are chosen have direct impact on player outcomes both in the game and outside, and also to millions of viewers). And they have a ton of time to do this. They edited thousands of hours to show us a scenario. Then chose to not act until too late
I hope the people in real life heal. But I also hope the show does better on all accounts from here on out
