I don't think it is any better or any worse than several other survivors, but I can't remember a survivor where I've so totally disliked several of the players. There is usually only one that really drives me crazy but there are a whole bunch in this crew! I can't believe how ungracious the members of Nakum were. Jamie really showed how immature he was (thank goodness he doesn't have a real job in real life), Judd has shown what an arse he is, Stephenie has been shown to be a whiner - honestly, Rafe is fast becoming my favorite! I also like Gary but figure he is an easy target, have started liking Danni more and more (although she is getting seriously emaciated), but the rest of them are just yucky.

I always thought Africa was the worse... but so far, this one is beating Africa hands down. These people are just NOT enjoying this experience. They are so negative and down all the time, its depressing!! The bullies are running the show this time... and I can't find myself caring about any of them.

I'm still trying to process last nights tribal council, during which I actually fell asleep at one point. During the show, Rafe said he couldn't play the game with integirty and keep Jamie. So last night he votes for Brandon????? Does this mean he's becoming the axis of evil player he feared last night?

I'm finding this season considerably less compelling than usual. I, too, thought Africa was boring. But this season? There are so many contestants who are just either not likeable or just not anything (like Cindy... who the heck is Cindy?). I don't know whether it's the lack of water in which to play/bathe, the casting, the challenges, or what. But I've steadily grown less and less involved. The immature and downright childish behavior of the survivors (Jamie, Judd, Bobby Jon) as well as Stepanie's whining and "I deserve to be here" 'tude have also turned me off. I don't know what it is. But I'm not liking it. (And I'm bummed, too, cause my other all time fav, TAR, is not really doing it for me either. I'm not that into the family thing! <sigh>)

I stopped paying attention after the 2nd show. Survivor, for me, has jumped the shark. The people are boring, the challenges are boring, tired of seeing jungles and bugs and, bahhh.

i liked the different characters on the africa survivor--more to like or dislike! a lot more color to those contestants. these guys are mostly beige--no vitality to most of 'em. all of them sitting and complaining how bored they were and one of them mentioning spending at least an hour a day looking for the idol. i'd be tramping that jungle as long as i could to both keep busy and to keep looking! i don't think some of those bumps on a log would move if lightning struck them!

Last night was boring, I agree. Africa I thought was comical, and yes maybe a few yawn moments. I think it was a mistake bringing BJ and Steph back. jmo TAR arghhh I lost interest real fast this season.

I don't agree with bringing people back. Not Rupert, not Stephenie, not anyone. Give them their shot, and send 'em home. And no all-stars either.

I agree that All Stars was the worse and that their bringing back past contestants hasn't helped this one. I use to practically arrange my life around watching Survivor on Thursdays and drove my family nuts but now I forget it's even on or simply don't care. But I don't know if I can blame the cast. In all honestly, I think I'm just finally having my fill of reality tv. But yes, the bullying part definitely doesn't help and as far as Step goes, I couldn't stand her whining the first time around. But I do still keep checking in to see who's gone, lol.

Are we allowed in the thread if we DON'T think this is the worse ever? I've used many clips of this season to show items of interest about the Mayan culture to my Spanish class. I think the producers have done a better job of integrating the native land into the challenges than in the past. I'm not enamored with a few of the players, but I think the extreme heat has really taken a toll on their energy. I can't imagine wanting to move if it is 110 degrees with 98% humidity! Africa IMHO was MUCH more boring -- they couldn't go anywhere because of being on that reserve.

I think Vanuato was quite boring...I've watched more of this show but I agree...many of the contestants are not likeable. If Probst leaves...I dunno...I think he was the glue holding this mess together... Time to bring the Western back to prime time tv! Weinermeister...you don't like me???

Started out hating this season.. then grew to like a few of the Survivors.. so of course the two I really liked are gone.. Amy and Brandon. Last season I was a big Stephanie fan couldn't stand Bobby Jon. I also agree is isn't right to bring past Survivors back unless it is a all stars. I now find my self cringing when I hear Stephani speak/whine. I use to defend her eye brows when my hubby made fun.. not now. I actually like Bobby Jon more this time around and wouldn't mind if he won it. Serves 'em right if he does.. the others suck.

D'ya think that Burnett and co realize just how much this season has failed compared to seasons past?

I've liked it a lot! I am just really really bummed Brandon got voted out, but it truly wouldnt have been smart of the Nakum 6 to keep him.

This season hasn't failed, that's a big step to take. I don't think it has, anyway...I'm liking this season so far....even with all the neanderthals on it. Rafe is hilarious.

I'm also finding this season less than stellar. I also think it's the climate and the characters. Could Jamie be any MORE obnoxious?!! I'm getting so the only ones I like are Gary, Rafe and Danni and I'm not all that GO WIN GO about them either. Looks like Judd is going to be majorly obnoxious next week. I'll keep watching though. It's one of the few shows that DH and I actually watch together.

Guatamalea is not my favorite, but its better than Marquesas. If we're going to talk about boring seasons, even Jeff Probst says that one was the one he disliked the most.

I liked Africa, thought it was a good cast of characters it was interesting all the twists and turns with the mallrats. I liked Lex and Big Tom and even Frank. As for this season I'm still undecided, but I did find last weeks show uncomfortable to watch. Now that Amy and Brandon are gone I want to see Gary, Danni or even dare I say Bobby Jon to win over any of the others left. I could not believe that Cindy and Rafe did not jump to the other side. I am really appalled at how Jamie and Judd have acted and Stephanie sense of entitlement so far, I don't see that from BJ. Lydia is just coasting along and hasn't even participated in much, but the boarish behaviour of the alpha three while the other side was out on the boat was terrible. Can the others not see that unless they break up that little coalition of 3 that they will not make it to the end? It is numbers and I just can't understand why Rafe and Cindy did not join the others. The pecking order may not chagne they still may only make it 5 and 6 but at least in Gary's words they would have done the right thing.

I liked Africa, too. I liked the people, that made the show. In this season, I feel like it's BB again, one side of the house that is despicable, and another side, the underdog.

I liked the people in Africa and wish they could've done more with the setting though.
