Memo to “Survivor” Producers:
So you’re way down in the ratings this go-round. Well, that’s understandable. People are a little tiny bit distracted. But that will pass – you just fell victim to some bad timing. There’s one thing you’ve got to fix, though: find some way to make these voting blocks harder to form. With the alliances forming from Day 1, it’s too easy to predict how things will go. Remember in Survivor 1, when there was one surprising vote after another? With that factor eliminated, what you’ve got is an A&F ad stretched over 13 episodes. Nothing to sneeze at, certainly, but not enough to build a dynasty around, either. Shake up the voting process, and you’ve got a chance.
Also, now that I think about it, how about some originality in the locales? Back to the islands for S4? Yawn. Just like with the voting, you’ve got to stretch the premise if you want people to keep watching. I know you can do it. Good luck.
I heard that tonight they’re breaking the teams up and making a third group specifically to screw up their little alliances. Hopefully it will inject some fun, since this season has been very, very dull.
Well that would definetly make things interesting. That would also explain the preview for the show that comes on tomorrow night.
Uh… I meant tomorrow night. Heh. 🙂
