Title: Jenna: Accomplished Whiner or not?
Post by: Syzygyone on May 12, 2003, 08:49:23 AM: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor6/

Okay, so Jenna whined her way to a million dollars, Rob was voted the one to have played the game the best and Mathew was the most popular.

So, what are your thoughts on this survivor series???

Although not sure how the burger generation sees it.. they're prolly amazed they survived it in first place, without all the chips, burgers, hotdogs, cokes... and TV/computer :D

As soon as you realise that the editors are framing people into easily recognised characters with their...err... editing the whole concept loses its appeal. The first series of Big Brother I saw was kind of interesting though.

Yes, I enjoy it also ... as it doesn't depend on "emtional" responses of others to determine a winner - new race starting end of this month..

gotta agree with Fishu .. this survivor series was ruined by the "voting" of the "jury"

then again the director showed us the show which would produce the highest ratings - maybe matthew had a dark/crazy side that ended up on the cutting room floor - like Dowding stated

hmm agreeing with MT, Dowding and Fishu - maybe should sell tv :)

It's amazing that folks have nothing better to do with their time and their minds than to watch this sophomoric crap.

Post by: Pongo on May 12, 2003, 10:06:19 AM: This was a fun series. The woman who won was underestmated by the guys. That blindfold challange was seriosly hard and she pulled it off. So under preasure she came on strong. And her answers to the jury were excellent. She never made a wrong step there.
I thought it was a good series. I opeted out of Thailand and Africa. But this one was good.

Post by: najdorf on May 12, 2003, 10:25:58 AM: I was truly disgusted by the jury vote. I think it was based on the fact that Mathew admitted that he didn't need the money. Jenna floated along on everyone else's coattails for 36 days and then she pulls the rabbit from the hat. What a joke that she "deserves" the win.

I think the thing that made this episode interesting was the way in which the player that was seemingly the safest would brain fart their way into getting voted off.

Deana by turning on Alex
Alex by turning on or just being honest with Rob
and Christy, by acting like she didn't know who would get her "swing" vote.

I thought that was a Natalie Wood movie...

Post by: Dowding on May 12, 2003, 10:40:58 AM: Is the Great Race the one where they have only 100 dollars to make it back to Britain from the middle of Tibet - and the first one to reach Trafalgar Square wins an ice-cream? Although it would be the American equivalent.

I saw something like that once, although I think they won 10 grand or something. The people were really, really annoying.

My favourite reality TV show took place on some remote Scottish island where a colony was set-up and people really did have to survive and work as a community. There was no 'game-show' element - no voting, money spinning phone-ins or anything like that. It was more a documentary. It lasted a year I think.

Post by: Saintaw on May 12, 2003, 11:49:46 AM: You guys are lucky, looks like these shows still have an overall theme.
here, we have "Nice Poeple", they just put a number of overgrown 'teens' (21 -> 30 y old) in a large cubicle (with tainted glass bathtubs)... and poeple watch it. I mean...
