Honestly - what do you think of #3?
Deirpg | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 09:41 pm   I was watching Survivor tonight and wondered what is different about this one that makes it just not as entertaining as the first two. I have heard that the ratings this season aren't as good as the first two - why? It seems that Survivor 1 and 2 had people who were either totally evil or totally angelic. These players seem really neutral and boring to me. The only interesting storyline is the group of young brats. The other tribe is just sailing along totally smoothly. What do you think? |
Joan | Thursday, November 01, 2001 - 10:20 pm   I have noticed this too. I love Survivor but this season, when the show ends, I feel like I have come away with less than last season. Right now I am attributing that to the fact that there are still so many people around that individuals are not being given a lot of airtime and there are less "diary" segments. I think the people are fine, they are just not being played up much. I mean, we have some serious characters in people like Tom and Brandon. |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 05:05 am   I'm thoroughly enjoying this show (maybe I'm just easily entertained) I don't think I actually disliked anyone so much this early in the last two shows. If someone ticked me off one week they did something to redeem themselves the next. There is no one on boran that I don't like. Samburu, well, that's a different story. I can't say I like anyone on that team, although some are much worse then others. I don't really have a feeling for KimP. or Teresa yet, but Silas, Lindsey, Brandon, and even Frank and Linda get under my skin. |
Dahli | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 08:16 am   I have heard comments before regarding this show's locale being less appealing, and that's part of it for me. There was something about the first one that reminded me of Gilligan's Island in a way (LOL) and I miss that! |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 08:46 am   RG, samething with me. I like this season, too. The show last night was good! I don't like the Samburu, either. (except for Frank) |

She never redeemed herself in my eyes. I dislike the SamBrats, too, but not with the same intensity. Maybe my hate factor is split in too many directions! |
Demented_Freak | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 11:13 am   I like it fine so far......I think it takes a while to get into the show, & remember all the players. I felt the same about S2 for a while, but then got hooked. I am amazed I dislike Lindsay & Silas so much already, I never thought anyone was going to be worse than Jerri. |
Resortgirl | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 11:25 am   Realfan... I never hated Jerri... she was highly entertaining. I couldn't wait to see her get bitchy from week to week. <Maybe my hate factor is split in too many directions!> I agree with Your above statement though...I honestly cannot answer which one of the sambrats I dislike most.They are pretty equally dispicable. |
Archer | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 11:27 am   I think that this season is rolling on slowly but surely. The people are starting to grow on me, and Im even beginning to remember all the names, except for a couple of the women. Im sure in the long run that we'll all have attachments to particular people like in the previous seasons. As of last night, Frank and to a lesser degree Teresa are who im rooting for. And all of Boran. Silas, Brandon, and Lindsey were bugging me the entire episode. Lindsey acts too smug, especially when they came back from tribal council. Frustrating is all i can say about that. |
Car54 | Friday, November 02, 2001 - 11:41 am   I really like this show...this is the first time I have participated in discussions on the boards, I always just watched it before. Last year, watching Jerri was like gawking at a car wreck...couldn't stop, and every week I was absolutely floored that they didn't vote her off! I am having a lot of fun in the deadpool groups, and have really enjoyed all the e-mailing, plotting and planning that is going on... it has made it more fun than ever for me! I hate all the brats pretty much...I still think we haven't seen that much of Kim P- she is this year's Amber....but really dislike Silas Lindsay and especially Brandon. I think the show is better when they cast someone everyone loves to hate. Then there are clear-cut good guys and bad guys- everyone loves that! Over at the Amazing Race, everyone hates Team Guido, and almost all the other teams are well-liked-- if we didn't have the Guidos, how boring would that be? Just a bunch of nice people running around looking for yellow flags!!! I think this Survivor would be pretty dull if we just had the Borons sitting on a mountain gazing at the sunset groovin on Africa! |
Gottaluvit | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 11:47 am   I LOVE THE GUIDOS. THEY ARE MY FAVES!! i am in the minority. For Survivor, i quit watching basically. The first year it was fresh and new. the tropical locale was great too. Rudys comments about Richard were the funniest. I didnt see the contestants before the show started. I had not seen film of the crew standing around filming the scenes or heard about the filming of the contests. The second year it seemed like there were a lot of copycat charactors. i kind of swayed in and out of watching it. i never routed for any person. i couldnt tell you who was on it now. plus, i missed the beach. they also started showing scenes of filming on entertainment tonight and access hollywood. that blew it for me. this year i have watched the first episode, part of another and missed 3/4 of last weeks. i tuned in to see them doing a puzzle. they did that last year. tuned in to last few minutes to realize they had mixed up the tribes sometime duing the show. it was obvious who was going. cant tell you their names. everything seems so setup. when i say everything, i mean everything. it will never have the fresh new feeling of year 1 again. there will never be another Rudy. I am back to watching Friends. It has been on forever, but it had me laughing so hard last week. I can not wait to see what happens on friends tonight. Yeah, its scripted, but it suppose to be. |
