Althouse: "When you have an immunity challenge like this and are forced to repeatedly say things like 'Joe’s balls start to move,' how aware are you of the snickering at home as you’re saying it?"

"When you have an immunity challenge like this and are forced to repeatedly say things like 'Joe’s balls start to move,' how aware are you of the snickering at home as you’re saying it?"

"Not only am I aware, I am consciously trying to say things that sound normal but have enough innuendo to be funny or just corny. We are all in on the joke! The players, the crew, the editors and I think even the network. It’s all in fun and we make sure to only include the ones that are PG."

JAORE म्हणाले...: Another unreality show that I don't watch uses sexual humor that I might have chuckled at in 7th grade?

Looks like I made the right call.; १२/११/१५, ४:२७ PM

HoodlumDoodlum म्हणाले...: I only caught a few minutes, but didn't the lawyer get #blindsided? I think there's still at least 1 law school grad left, though. Once Deitz left I didn't have much reason to keep watching this one--there are only about 3 likable people left and the squabbling hasn't been very interesting (plus the actual challenges are blah--the "eating gross stuff" one especially; just boring).

I watched the first season of Survivor and recently watched several more through Amazon Instant video--no commercials and freedom to fast forward at will. Watching several seasons back-to-back you really get a sense of how forcefully the editing shapes (& makes) a season, and the sense I get is that the actual action has gotten worse over time. The "survival" aspect (the contestants toughing out difficult living conditions) is rarely even referenced anymore--I don't know if it's that their situations are actually better (more rice, less rain, etc) or if the editors just feel like that's not interesting anymore, but it used to play a pretty big part in the seasons' storylines. On top of that there haven't been any "funny friends" situations where a couple of the contestants are obviously having fun and enjoying each other's company in a while, either. I'm glad the show seems to have gotten over its BostonRob-Russell-Coach obsession and you don't need "characters" like them to have an interesting show, but having a few likable or funny people (like a Courtney or a James) would help a lot.; १२/११/१५, ६:२४ PM
HoodlumDoodlum म्हणाले...: Also the producers should tell all the contestants that they'll take $50 off the prize money each time anyone says the words "game, alliance, move (as in make a big move), blindside, or numbers" just to break up the monotony of the dialog.; १२/११/१५, ६:२८ PM
