LAST EDITED ON 03-12-07 AT 10:55 PM (EST)Not exactly an original topic. But I thought Thailand would stand forever as the season of Boredom, but Thailand at least started interestingly and became excruciatingly dull toward the end, predictable and no likable contestants.
This season seems to be like Palau, with one team losing constantly and an alpha male running the show, except that the Alpha Male is on the losing tribe. I thought Palau was also a boring season, but not this boring. Yet, I'd consider Palau the second-least entertaining season, next to Thailand.
Now, Moto just keeps winning, which is boring. Maybe the tribal switch will remedy this.
But where are the interesting contestants? Who is there to root for?
ETA: Sorry to make a duplicate thread. I just looked here to "bash."
Well, it seems like it should be a basher topic. (I never go over to fanatics now that the games are in their own forum).I agree with you ToddE. Looks like MB is runningout of ideas. Apprentice is absolutely stupid with the tents (well, stupider than usual, and the one tribe gets everything deal on Survivor has got to be the worst idea (even worse than the purple rock)

Palau was, at least, entertaining, and the people were memorable. Ulong was full of characters. Even lazy Kim tried to make laziness seem like a viable strategy - anyone who can try to pull that off deserve some props right before they get voted out. Angie and Steph were the tough underdogs, Bobby Jon was the caveman, James was the crazy redneck, Jeff was the one who should have challenged Tom but for his damn ankle (yes, people label him a quitter, but I've broken an ankle before and I know how hard it can be to perform at full strength...granted, I hear it was a re-injury, so I understand the request to be voted off. If it were a first injury, he should have toughed it out.) And over on Koror, we had super Tom, his deputy Ian, the two lovebirds, and snarky Coby. Palau had characters. Fiji has squat.Fiji has...Rocky and Dreamz? Come on. Alex is a master strategist? I have this to say. As much as Rocky and Dreamz are a couple of characters, they have pretty much no idea how to play the game and are characters just because they're annoying. By now, they should have grown on people the way Cao Boi did. (Hey, I liked Cao Boi.) As it is? If Survivor 16 were All-Stars, only Yau-Man would go from Fiji...at least if I were making the cast.
There are some seasons that have so many characters that it's hard to pick who would make an All-Stars season. Even Vanuatu has Chris, Twila, Eliza, and Ami, and maybe Sarge. Palau has Tom, Ian, Stephenie, Coby, Bobby Jon, and Angie (and yes, two of them got to play again.) Guatemala had Danni, Rafe, Lydia, Judd, Gary, and Jamie, and maybe Amy and Brian. Exile Island had Danielle, Terry, Cirie, Shane, Bruce, astronaut Dan, and maybe Aras. Cook Islands had Yul, Ozzy, Parvati, Jonathan, Candice, Nate, and Cao Boi. Fiji has no one. Dreamz and Rocky are a poor man's Bobby Jon and Jamie...sorry, couldn't say that with a straight face. They're a government-issued imitation Grade F Bobby Jon and Jamie constructed out of manure. I wouldn't cast a single Fijian except Yau-Man. Not even Earl or Alex, even if their names combine to "Alex Cole." And from that season, I'd take Alex, Gardener, Gary, Robin, Mary-Jane, Phillip, Angela, AND Trooper. Now THAT'S a fvcking super-tribe.
My point? The creative minds HERE can cast better people than MB. Maybe we should do casting.
