Survivor Island Of The Idols

Honestly, with how the edits have been, I think it's a bit unfair for Dan as well. I mean, the producers should not have depicted him as an inappropriate "touchy feely" person if they aren't going to sanction him. It seems like they magnified the issue to have a big scandal in reality television but it became a complete mess. Either way, he will be seen as that creepy old perve regardless of whether there was an actual issue or not.

The producers obviously wanted to inject the whole #MeToo movement in the episode to make it realistic when it all backfired because they didn't properly handle the situation.

I think Jeff trying to synthesize this issue at tribal was handled poorly. He always wanted to make it look like "okay this is how it goes in the game" when they should have intervened and laid ground rules on the sensitivity of the issue.

In my opinion, Janet quitting would be a slap in the face to Jeff and the producers of the show. Playing that game in that social aspect of ruining reputations and false accusations (especially with how sensitive the issue is on sexual harassment) is a big no.

Real life situations are worse, but in a controlled environment like Survivor, they should have not allowed the girls to use the #MeToo movement to further themselves in the game. They should have penalized Dan if there were actual complaints about his misbehavior.

The whole part where the production team talked to the contestants should have been aired as well. They didn't show what happened and it bothered the viewers since they are left hanging with the whole harassment situation. Even Kellee doesn't seem bothered anymore. The show should have been more transparent.

We also still haven't seen the end of this though. It's not impossible that Dan gets ejecte later on, though he should've been already.

You’re a smart man. It’s all about ratings. Survivor is getting boring and the producers know that. The first shows were great. They really had to “survive” on very little food. Sometimes just rice. Plus they had some real hotties on there. Now they have food all the time, makings for fire and old flabby men and women who have issues. They are grasping at straws to keep a big fan base. Those two they have on the “Island of the Idols” are a joke. To me Big Brother is much more entertaining. If they’d get rid of Julie, it’d be perfect.

Maybe he'll win lol. They let villains win sometimes. Jk I know he has no chance, he was doing actual real-world bad stuff,But when was the last time they let a "villain" win, was it Parvati?

I think the way the game has changed nowadays it's really hard to define "Hero" and "Villain" now. I would consider Tony a villian, but then others would say he just played the game and took advantage of people who weren't as clued up???

I found Tony irritating as hell but I didn't think of him as a villain, however I don't remember that season very well.Chris Underwood last season was a charmer but he had a lot of people rooting for his comeback story, so I wouldnt say he was either.
