Panurge, I got your overall point. I was just honing in on that one specific sentence. I agree with what you're saying in general.

Then I truly apologize. You can understand why I see petty complainers everywhere if you look at the other posts that followed my response.

Sorry FB, I see there's more competition than I thought for missing the point.

Agreed that Tracy's move was bad for almost everyone who went with it (obviously good for herself, Kathy, and Chet), however I still think Mikey's move made sense and would've been a good one. Although, I do think it would've made more sense for him to simply suggest voting Chet off and leaving it at that.

It killed her tribe, which she was never even accepted into. It wasn't a bad move for Tracy at all, it was a bad move for the people who went along with it.

We have a winner for missing the point and focusing on a little detail.

when you see perfect on-line Survivor game moves made by Mikey and Joel fall to waste.

"Is Mark Burnett deliberatly trying to ruin Survivor?"

No, he's telling you to shut the hell up with your constant complaints! 32 posts to this thread! Such a huge petition against him that it must have Burnett shaking in his boots.

You see, this season is all about what he thinks of petty complainers. You can't complain about mactors anymore when you see what superfans like Chet and Kathy can do! You can't complain about poor strategy anymore when...

Yeah Chris told me that in an interview. He said he was upset that the show portrayed him as a "construction worker" because in real life he doesn't work in the trenches at all. He's a roving site inspector. Yes he works for a construction company, but he's really more the equivalent of a site manager. His job and Twila's job are nothing alike. He thinks the show only portrayed him that way because they wanted him to look more blue collar (because that was the...

But I'd definitely agree that the people who do like the mental evaluations and whatever, look for people who are either really easily angered, or just paranoid to the point of insanity. I guess for some people, their best bet to get on is that their entire family thinks that they're literally out of their mind.

Damn if that's the case maybe I should apply.

You might have a point with the job description thing. I remember reading that Chris from Vanuatu was upset with his job description. But I'd definitely agree that the people who do like the mental evaluations and whatever, look for people who are either really easily angered, or just paranoid to the point of insanity.

Also, remember that 75% of mactors happen to be "Bartenders". I never would've known that before Survivor.

Also, I hate how everyone comnplains about mactors. I say that every single contestent we've had is worthy of being on the show. You may not like them or carew for them, but every single castaway is worthy of being on the show, and that includes every single numbnuts and quitter there ever was. These people aren't there to entertain you or heavens forbid enlighten you. When people say that "normal people" should be on the show, I feel somewhat...

Ashlee from Palau was worthy of being on the show? What did she do to stay longer aside from have giant tits? Hell, didn't she want to leave on like, Day 2?

As a wrestling fan, I know and agree (well, partly at least) with what you're saying. It's very easy for us to criticize the show as people who just watch it, but we really don't know anywhere close to all of what goes on there, and I'd only really want to know after getting there. On the other hand, if someone like Jenna or Todd were to post here complaining about a contestant's reaction to something, it would hold more merit since they each lasted the whole 39 days.

For me, the simplest answer is usually the correct one, or at least an indicator in the right direction. One would think that the reason Survivor has gone downhill is due to neglect, because Burnett is a multimillionaire several times over. However, he still takes the time to produce crap game shows like "Are you smarter then a 5th grader" and "My dad is better then your dad"(I didn't include Amn$ia since I'm somewhat fond of it). I don't get it, at best thesee...
