so is he grabbing female producers? or does "player" mean currently jury member?
*edit, yup
i mean, idk, it sounds plausible, it's not like they're traveling to other islands by cruise ship, they're on rickety little canoes
hell, remember last season fat pat got kicked off the show cuz the boats fucked up his chest?
*edit, edit
looks like the final eps will now be a pre-taped metoo affair, snore

Yeah I'm totally skeptical this is nothing more than a virtue signaling stunt at Dan's expense. Yep, it is likely dude was a total perv and got one last grope in. However it is just as likely that it was incidental and Production jumped at it to score more woke points. Hell, reading Dalton Ross's recap was nearly unbearable as he waxed poetic about how awful it was and to #believe. He ranked the season at 39 to ice the deal because of the taint Dan's inappropriate touching left. I feel like since it's all filmed, the fact that it was all but ignored by pretty much every other contestant tells me that it was grossly exaggerated outside of Kellee, and even that may have been overblown slightly due to her NOT being touchy feely at all and Dan being so. He crossed a line, sure, but I don't think it's as rapey as CBS is obviously trying to make it out to be. And the funny thing is, it's kind of backfiring because the #believeallbullshit types are pissed that he wasn't yanked much earlier.
This all started back on Blue Collar White Collar No Collar where they publicly crucified Dan and that black guy for picking on the poor Muslim woman. Jeff nearly broke his arm patting himself on the back after his very public tribunal. And it really was blatant there was way more to the story. The bitch was fucking annoying on camera, I guaranfuckingtee you there were two sides to that story and why she set off not one but two guys so badly. And it seems since then, about every other season they seize on another opportunity to dogpile on someone for virtue points. Basically CBS/Survivor's Production team just has no credibility with me on anything like this.
Overall this was a very middle of the road season, and still is. Dan did not ruin it, CBS trying to appear to #believe did, and it kind of backfired. Ugh I hate Clown World.
EDIT: And I just read the Q&A with Jeff, and he was all "Out of respect for privacy I cannot comment any further." Yet, at the same time they had no problem with airing out all the incidents before. I'm all but convinced jack and shit happened at all.

it's not just taped, these are 10 ppl essentially crowded around a small living room because
1. no one wants to veer away from the shelter b/c they don't want to be "caught" looking for the idol
2. your shelter is only so big
so it's like 10 ppl almost 24/7 (of course ppl go out for wood/water/fish, but we've all seen that the BTS is ppl just sit around camp for HOURS!) in like a 200sqft area
and no one said shit.
hell, the "evidence" they presented to us in eps1 was just Dan offering a massage. i mean he said he gives good massages, who are we to judge!
then he lays on her leg... it's either her boney asian leg or a fucking bamboo stick
BONEY ASIAN LEG!!! all the time, shes not even shoving him off.

Fuck Dan. He should have been kicked off sooner in my opinion. If he won I was going to be pissed off and I'm glad he's gone. They showed plenty in the first episode of him being a creep to warrant booting him in my opinion. I was really surprised they didn't do it then. Maybe you guys go around massaging women who you barely know even after they ask you not to, but in my book that is totally over the line and if he touched me in that way I would punch him in the face.

It's also partly probably an overreaction by CBS after Big Brother. They had the very loud Reddit crowd accusing them of covering up for racism and it resulted in an absolutely fucked up finale where they basically publicly accused the winner of the season, on live TV, of being a racist. My guess is they err on the side of caution from now on. Which means I likely also won't watch their shows anymore.

Yeah that was going to be part of my rant but I left it out for the sake of brevity and the fact that technically they are two completely different companies... but yes I believe the infamous Season 15 was the catalyst of ALL of this and Big Brother has been doing the same thing. See this most recent season. Yeah Micky was a complete douchebag tool, and so was Aquaman Jack, but they were not the racist shitbags they were desperately trying to paint them up to be as they crucified them in the finale for that show as well. It's getting old.

Look, man. I know we shouldn't just "Believe all women!", but you're going whole-hog on Dan did nothing. It's ok to not believe all women and also think Dan is a creep.

they've had that before, season 15 was an awesome year of BB racism
'Big Brother' contestants lose jobs due to racist, homophobic remarks
It was a summer of controversy on "Big Brother" thanks to repeated displays of racism, sexism and homophobia inside the made-for-reality-TV house. But while the TV audience, live feed viewers and headline readers on the outside reeled from the remarks and actions, the contestants responsible for...

Right I totally agree with this. They aired out all his creepy shit he did to Kellee (and the others to some extent). I don't think it was rapey but it was definitely creepy as shit. My only issue is with this alleged incident that happened off camera that they are being hush hush. I just smell dog pile on that one on already existing (and concrete) evidence.

cuz they catch everything, and their evidence? was nothing
they could do more to show us more, like i remember BB they had to expel a guy cuz he was crazy and put a knife to a girls throat
I remember a finale where Jeff showed b roll to debunk claims

Not a fan of this season.
And based on how the last couple episodes went, I feel like the 2nd place person got screwed...again. Dean played a significantly better game than Tommy. Tommy did really well at making friends, but he played a pretty shit game otherwise.
I said this would be the last season I watch, but shit. I don't know if I can not watch an all winners season.

Yeah, wrong guy won. Best part of the finale was when the famous girl gave the one guy a measly 15k and the other two chicks 100k. Worst part was everything else. Not sure why they even bother to bring everyone back, they barely talked to anybody this reunion.

Definitely a meh season, ranked somewhere in the 30s for me. The worst are still One World, Nicaragua, and China for me but this one was close. Dean was the better player for sure, but he had one question aimed at him specifically and he completely swung and missed. His answer to is there a line? Should have been nope, I'm here for a million bucks at all costs.
I still love the show. Bad seasons are going to happen and we were due one as the last few have been really solid at the very least. The last meh one for me was the second blood vs water.

I completely skipped the entire reunion. Watched the votes and preview. Figured the rest would be shit I didn't want to hear.
