I have never watched Survivor, only tuned in for Jon, and...wow. The show is terrible. I'm glad I don't have to watch any more of it!
I don't understand how this is good television. Someone is alone in the woods, finds some box, open it, and there’d be instructions. They’d read them aloud. “Go find the driftwood, and pour water on it, and you’ll find the key.”
Then they’d cut to a confessional. “I found a box. It says I need to go find the driftwood and pour water on it to find the key.”
Yes, I know, I was there. Like, what are we doing...?
Also, Probst is a terrrrrrrrrible host. I found him so fake and cheesy and annoying. "You wanted Survivor? This is Survivor right here!!!!" Okay, you're not Tina Turner and this isn't Thunderdome. Calm down.
...that was a joke. He was mocking himself for flaming out so quickly. Probst genuinely laughed at that.
To be honest, I wasn't surprised Jon went home first...he's so smart, I personally would have targeted him as a threat. But none of the vapid influencer fame whores on the cast seemed to admit that (which, I dunno, having never seen the show...will they go back and claim that motivation later? One would think they would confessional honestly about it in the moment...but nobody said anything of the sort. They just thought he was cheugy or cringey or whatever the TikTolike backers say, so they booted The Old).
I dunno, I'll stick to Traitors, thank you very much.
