Firstly, I admit that Survivor is going down the drain, however, it is not due to "LA slackers" as one person put it. The thing is, most people who apply for Survivor today are 15th generation ripoffs of Survivor 1. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, but I actually think having a survivor full of people who are too lazy to do anything better then watch survivor would actually be worse then watching a survivor full of recruits(cirie excepted). I assume that most people who hate recruits are those who cant indentify with "that crowd" and thats totally understandable. On the other hand, if survivor was just filled with bitter, jealous average joes and janes,would that make it any better? The Survivor Borneo cast was filled with people too busy to watch tv and even though EPMB is idiotic forhaving enormous casts, too long and elaborate challanges, extraneous hiis and "exile islands", shitty editing jobs and final 3s, hes right that ppeople unaware of how to play the game usually make better tv

Recruits have ruined survivor's ratings. People watched Survivor because they would imagine how they would respond in like situations and how they would do on the show. Middle America has nothing in common with wanna be Hollywood actor/ models. Bring back auditions or watch this great show die a slow death in the ratings.

I think a cast with half-applicants and half-recruits could be an interesting season.
You whiners are so dull. Why go back instead of forward? |

The early seasons had lots of very outdoorsy tough females who could hold their own in challenges. Gina, Tammy, Kathy, Tina, Kelly W, T-bird, Jeanne, Deena.
Nowadays, casting just doesnt allow these girls to get thru the door. No one fucking gives a shit how well some hairdresser bitch from LA does on an island when she doesnt do or say shit. Girls who were able to adapt to the elements and stay on par with the alpha males made for excellent TV. |

Sticking non Survivor fans onto the show right away is an insult to those who've applied several times.

Quote: Jeff Probst: "But THIS season, in Survivor China, we have this one player named Cliff who is TOTALLY gonna revolutionize this game." Cliff: "Im 27, hot, and sexy. I work in an LA night club and snort lots of coke. Never seen Survivor. Personally I think the show is really fuckin gay. But I have a Tribal band tattoo around my left bicep, I tan 7 times daily, and I wanna be an actor. Im totally gonna yell at every fuckin fat loser out there in China when I quit snorting coke five times an hour once I go on Survivor." Jeff Probst: "And when he doesnt have his coke... boy, Cliff sure does go nuts and it makes for great TV. Because it allows us to hide 9 other boring players." Cliff: "Im in your face and loud and proud. Bold and fuckin hot. You want me." |

Quote: But serious question. How many average viewers of Survivor know that most of these people are recruits? Remember these are the same ass clowns who still think Stephanie and Rupert are the greatest Survivors ever. |

Middle America probably does know their are recruits, but they don't eally care. Its just a show to them, and they want some throwaway entertainment. The rabid dumb ones are unaccountable,however

^Double agree. Some recruits are diamonds in the rough. Sure, there are the occassional UTR boring ones, but can you imagine the show without players like Shane, Yau Man, and JFP?
