"Unwatchable" is probably stretching it, but the editors certainly found their groove starting around episode 4. Though I do think they perfectly captured the dynamics of the Pagong tribe in episode 2. We rarely have these days. I know I'm not the only one who misses the days when a tribe had more than one story going on in a single episode.
Look at it this way: In episode 2 of Borneo, the Pagong tribe dealt with BB (the biggest storyline), the problems with Joel, their shelter potentially being washed away, Greg's wackiness, the relationship between Greg and Colleen, and Ramona's sickness. If they edited the episode today, it would most likely consist of stuff about BB and Ramona because they were the two boot options for that episode.
Exactly. The main problem with the show today is it's too singularly focused on one fabricated story line based on the ending, that most of the time just isn't interesting. Just from insider clips alone, there are so many more interesting things that should be shown instead of another bland strategy-based confessional from the winner or endless footage of puzzle-collecting.
