Survivor 41-43 all feels like the same season since they don't have themes, have the same twists/advantages, same challenges for the most part, only cast nice and non controversial people, and are also 26 days. They really need to cast people who don't care what they have to do to win the million dollars. Plus they need to bring back some of the old favorites when it comes to challenges/rewards. The show has just gotten bland.
Thank you. It felt wayyyy to over produced. I consider myself a very liberal person but it seems like they tried way to hard to typecast a 'diverse' cast
@@sparrowhunter1671 that doesn't explain the blatant tokenistic casting. I know it sounds bigoted but by no means am I against a diverse cast I like the way it plays into the show, but when it's so shoe horned in, it takes away from what I liked about the show which felt more raw. Now it feels like they really want everyone to have a token trait they can advertise.
This new generation just isn't capturing the magic of the Survivor I know and love. I'm really hoping 45 is a returnee season to shake things up. Always great to hear your thoughts, Russell! I love that weather, too.
Unfortunately, I don't think there will ever be another returnee season. I don't think CBS is going to invest any more money into Survivor. The show will stay on the air (for the time being), but with sagging ratings and competition from other reality shows, all future seasons of Survivor will be exactly like 41-43.
@@GoLongAmerica I know Russell mentioned in a past video he was pretty certain 45 would be returnees. I really hope that turns out to be true. I definitely understand what you mean, though.
@@TheHORRORman I hope so too, but if they do another returnee season, it'll probably be under the new 26 day format. I just don't see it happening, but I'd love to be wrong.
Survivor got too politically correct. It lacks raw personality so we’ll see if they continue doing the same boring shit they’ve been doing since 41 till now
I’d like to hear from you, being someone who’s actually been on the show, about how scripted it really is. To me, it seems to be a lot more scripted than it used to be when you were on.
I still like the new era of survivor to this day. If I had every season of survivor ranked from top to bottom, 42 would be very high. Season 41 and 43 would probably lay in the middle of my ranking; 41 just above the median and 43 just below the median. That’s where I’m at.
I just rewatched S17 and it's mind blowing how the older seasons were sooo much better than these recent ones. 100% agree they all feel the same. I think survivor auction should be a staple in every season, more hard challenges. And honestly this may sound bad, but stop going for the perfect cast. They used to just have a random crew of people, now its seems like they have to fill this quota of 1-3 black 1-2 asians, 1-3 gay 1 trans then 9 white people. I just feel like the later and later the seasons got the cast got more and more fake seeming? Idk just me
For real, new seasons didn't bother me until I binge watched all the first 40 seasons during quarantine. It's laughable how bad this New Era of Survivor is compare to the older seasons.
@@KDub2234 Ya if you never seen the old ones you would never know! but shit was hard, you couldnt really ask for medical liek you can in these new seasons. I beleive geneane or jeanean I know both spellings are wrong but anyways that lady at one point had on 3 massive bandaids... I was like might as well hook her up to an IV at this point. Its just insane the amount of help these guys get. Early seasons people wore basic clothing and not the best shoes. Now a days everyone is wearing the top of the line shoes and has like 2 outfits. I enjoy watching hardship not people sitting on a perfect beach with coconut trees everywhere. lol I could rant all day about these new seasons.
@@Ne0Nights Im watching exactly what I typed out. What are you watching/reading? Can you give me the cast of the last 3-4 seasons in terms how I spoke? (1-3 blacks 1-2 asians 1-3 gay 1 trans and 9 white people) Pretty sure I'm spot on. Ill wait for your evidence to prove me wrong.
I still enjoy survivor, but man these last three seasons are not what they used to be! Where are the polarizing people??? Everyone’s way too agreeable 😅
That’s so interesting cause I feel that I usually see people say that they’re glad they aren’t just casting people to be hot. I’d still say Justine, Noelle, Elie, Cody(?), and Ryan would be considered conventionally attractive.
Jeff would be to scared to admit he was wrong and ditch all this happy people no guys bs. And thats the best chance survivors got. Will take balls to admit a mistake rather than double down with blinders on into the woke abiss

Plus nobody even plays idols anymore and everybody is so cautious

They have probably had to be more cautious with casting after 39 since they casted a literal sex offender

Don't know why people wanna see this show die so bad. Still my favourite show on cable.

I agree. I've enjoyed this season more than 41 and 42 though. Still nowhere near on par with pre-WaW, but watchable.
Russell they film odd then even back to back. Lol. You know this! 44 was filmed in june. You literally played back to back the same way. 😂
You were one of my favorite players!
I’d like to hear from you, being someone who’s actually been on the show, about how scripted it really is. To me, it seems to be a lot more scripted than it used to be when you were on.
In what way?
Yeah I feel like longer ago it was more natural but I could be wrong.
Russell! Where are you? We miss your Survivor 2¢ on the cast, and after each episode! S44 premiere is tomorrow! Are you done with Survivor?
I did not I read into it that much, but I think you could say it is a good thing since it shows self awareness.

The casting under the new casting director has been fantastic idk what you are watching
@@Ne0Nights I love the cast, that's the only positive thing about the New Era. The guy above is the one who doesn't like it.

I thought the same thing. Almost as if he knows they almost cut the show.
I really hope the rest of season 43 doesn’t disappoint. We have yet to see a great tribal or a satisfying blindside
I still enjoy survivor, but man these last three seasons are not what they used to be! Where are the polarizing people??? Everyone’s way too agreeable 😅
I miss the former casting director (season 1- season 38) who actually made sure there were attractive and hot people in the cast as well.

@@Waraba_ agreed
There's two types of people people who actually watch Survivor and people who watch to look at attractive people.... We aren't the same.
yeah theres literally no more hot fit guys anymore..
Lol he knows something must change.
Survivor continues on.... and I will continue to not watch it LOL

New survivor is trash
russell play survivor again and show us how it’s done again.
Show us how it's done??? If we're talking about being a zero vote finalist I'm sure he could do that pretty well.
Jeff has lost sight of what makes the show great. It’s supposed to be about the players, not the twists and advantages.
Jeff would be to scared to admit he was wrong and ditch all this happy people no guys bs. And thats the best chance survivors got. Will take balls to admit a mistake rather than double down with blinders on into the woke abiss
Jeff’s probably depressed he hates this new era but has no choice cause cbs probably thinks the fans will love it
@@sniper8560 hes prob been brainwashed by them so much that even he believes it a little bit. Someone smack this guy back to reason
This season has been really good imo
How much were you paid to say that
@@allstargaming5270 500$
um you can easily say survivor continues on when it's been 44 seasons haha give it up mate
That's not what I got out of it at all
this show should have already been gone off the air its all scripted and acted out now
No it’s not. 😂
