I think you have to piss off Jeff/Survivor pretty badly for them to not only show a scene where the cameras and producers and such are visible but also roll like 3 minutes of it during the reunion show that is already being cut short because of the second chances thing. The good news is that we'll never see Dan on Survivor again.

yea that was the most exposed behind the scenes i ever saw, i thought they'd be like 20ft away with a good zoom, nope, they're so close to the castaways you can see the other camera crews feet/shoes in the other shots. They're practically hovering over Dan when he's like "momma's a whore!"

My quote is during his season when everybody was on his nuts. He's way too impulsive and not nearly aggressive enough to be a great player.
If Joe can tighten up his social game this time, he could be an amazing player. Solid at challenges, likeable, soft-spoken, non-impulsive, etc. My only fear is that he's just too laid back to ever make the push from good to great.

pretty much a good call, there's no way you'd let an ozzy go into a merge where he can play a relaxed social game and go on an immunity streak. Unless they're all starving and he's the only one getting food.

This is an aspect of gameplay I really wish we'd see brought back. It really doesn't matter if you're the "provider" anymore. They are given the perfect amount of rations and if your tribe sucks and doesn't ration properly, you typically just get more rice/beans anyhow. Plus, there are a ton of food rewards now.

I'm wondering if that new show The Island (I think) is going to be like Survivor if they actually had to survive. Or will it just be shitty. I don't know.

This one?The Island with Bear Grylls (TV Series 2014- ) - IMDb
The 2nd season just ended and it's a lot more "survival" than Survivor. It's basically plopping a bunch of people on an island and saying "good luck." Then again, it's Bear Grylls so how real is anyone's guess. I enjoyed it well enough, though. Didn't watch the first season.

Bear Grylls name = shit and anything he produces and makes.
I'm not saying survivor is on the up and up, we all know it isn't but come on.
they're doing the same shit for s2, they're making an artificial pool and filling it with water for them to drink out of.

Yeah, but I think Jeff failed to consider that a lot of people weren't following exit interviews and knew what Dan was saying to the press. For as big of a fan as I am of the show, I didn't. So, Jeff game off as vindictive and petty rather than protective of the show. I couldn't help but feel a little on Dan's side since it looked like Jeff was going overboard to prove Dan wrong on something that seemed mostly irrelevant.
I think Spencer proved that he knows the game well. He made mistakes in his season, but he was also working from a disadvantage pretty much from day one due to the tribe he was stuck with. He was almost constantly on the defensive and never had the numbers on his side. Second time around, he might do a little better, especially considering pre-game alliances will be in play. I also could see him flying under the radar for a bit since he's not likely to be viewed as an untrustworthy player like Kass, a physical threat like Terry, and likely not as much of a social threat like Stephen Fishbach.
They just need to have a season where they prop Jenn up somewhere with Courtney Yates like Statler and Waldorf and have them trash talk players all season long.
There's no way him and Tasha aren't voted off almost instantly due to a pre-show alliance.

I agree. And as much as I disliked Dan, I have to at least respect the fact that he basically just came straight out and said "Hey, I fucked up" instead of just denying everything. The worst part was that it was after his initial apology that Jeff went even harder at it and showed the unedited clip. Then, once again, Dan was like "Yeah, I get it. Apparently I remembered the situation wrong and I take full blame for what I said." And yet, Jeff still kept laying it on.
But then with Will, Jeff just kind of gave him a free pass even after Will was all "Fuck this bitch still, but I apologize to her family" at the reunion.

what Jeff did was be the woman, he singled out 5minutes of conversation out of 21 days, he basically was talking like a bitch "u rememba, dat time you said dat, 20 days ago? well yous wrong, yo!"
Then he's trying to be all sassy, "i gots da video!"
Their job for 39 days is to survive, try to get some sleep, do a stupid rinky dink challenge for 2hours and then just talk,talk,talk.
Am i defending Dan? no, but i can surely agree after 39days of almost straight game talk, he'd misremember something, probably everything.

They can't have people dying on TV...yet. It'l be Russia or some Slavic country that has the first "Hunger Games" I bet haha.
I enjoy the stuff Bear puts out, it serves it's own purpose. Sure, his fictional survival stigma is there, but you can watch Les Stroud for that if you need full-on survival.
Even if you fill the pool, you can't make people drink. Lots of asshattery goes on in this recent season of The Island With, and proves surviving isn't as easy as these guys show.
While not exactly the same genre, they feel very similar at times. The people do loads more "surviving" on Bear's show for sure, lots more.

ugh this island survivor show is such bullshit, they separate it into men island woman island.
somehow men who have had 2 days of survival training are able to lay a rope trap and catch a big ass croc overnight. (i think the producers just brought in a croc and tied the rope around it's neck) why? cuz ppl love to see, animals killed when ppl are hungry.
somehow for the women 2 of the cutest piglets just wander around. then these piglets wander around camp like they were domesticated animals. then after the women move camp to another beach, they leave these piglets behind, b/c they didn't want to kill em and they couldn't take em. somehow these little piglets decided to follow these women to a new camp and abandon the phantom mother. what happened to the piglets after 6 days of being faithful cute pets?

You leave out the fact that the women were fucking retards and split up, and then wandered in circles through the jungle for like 3 days. Oh, and they neglected to bring water.
I didn't realize that they were doing a US version of the show, and that's what you all were talking about.

no, i'm talking about the british one, i just focus'd on them "magically" trapping food, i didn't focus on the women with their awesome innate direction skills.

Why did you watch so much of the series if you didn't like it?
Who cares if they were given a croc to eat. Its a group of eight or nine guys, so they get one good meal out of a 30+ day stint given to them?

A recent episode showed the women were starving hungry, and 1 girl caught a tiny fish, then all of a sudden a boat just happened to pass by, and he graciously threw her a big ass fish enough for the women to eat.
Also somehow the women are master trappers, pigs magically appear in the traps they set. these are the same women who rely on 1 piece of twine to hold up their fire shelter and get eaten by insects b/c they can't build elevated beds.
On the mens side a cameraman was being hated by all the men, cuz he's an ass. to save face, he decided to fish with a net, where it has failed all other times. magically once he decided to leave the net out, fish started to appear in the net, now they love the cameraman and the fish he brings in.
about the only real thing i saw was a cameraman getting busted up by wave cuz he was dumb enough to think he could wall climb around a rock.
