Lantern7 May 2, 2019 Share May 2, 2019 (edited) Reality Blurred on "The Rick Devens Show." Andy makes the point that Rick didn't vote for Ron, and that he didn't engineer his ouster while he avoided getting snuffed. I didn't remember Lauren and Victoria were behind that, mostly because I wasn't playing enough attention. That might fall under shafting female players in terms of editing. Also, I just found out that we haven't had a female winner since Sarah on Game Changers, which was two years ago. ETA: Here's another recent Reality Blurred article; this one is about allegations of sexism and racism from CBS in relation to Survivor and Big Brother.

Lantern7 May 8, 2019 Share May 8, 2019 (edited) I'll have to read that later. I feel bad for Erik. Yeah, it was a dumb move. Yeah, I adored Cirie at that time. But that first image in the article could have been captioned, "The Black Widow Alliance share a laugh, as Erik's shorts fall to his ankles. He had also neglected to don underwear that day. Not shown: Jeff Probst bloodying his knuckle by biting into it to keep from laughing." He did finish fifth on Caramoan. If he hadn't been forced out, maybe he could have won that season. I like his cartoons accompanying Steven Fishbach's recaps. I met him at New York Comic Con years ago. I didn't mention THAT moment to him. I wound up buying his Survivor parody book, and I got a sketch from him. I asked for the self-portrait; normally, I'm armed with references, but I didn't know he was coming, and I figured he'd be the contestant I'd ask to be drawn.

LadyChatts June 9, 2019 Share June 9, 2019 (edited) Well, now I get why she was upset by her non-edit when she first spoke out about it on twitter. I will say, I do feel sorry for the cast in the sense that there season was overshadowed by both returning players, a lousy twist, and a controversial outcome. Coming off the heals of DvsG, which was not only very well received by fans but also had one of the most balanced edits in a long time, I'm sure it was hard for these guys to watch their season and see the exact opposite happen. However, I do question how much of a super fan Julia is. I watch Big Brother (mainly the live feeds), and see all the horrible shit that goes down, and then hear how the show is edited in a way to make those very people look good and leave out a bunch of stuff. Survivor has never had a topic like that discussed before in that context, and I don't know that they ever will. In addition, saying that certain people like Joe and Wardog getting credit over others-well, that's nothing new in Survivor, either. Joe's a challenge beast, and no offense to her, but I believe if he had been on Manu, Kama would have been the ones making multiple treks to TC. It's not that I don't understand her frustrations, but this isn't anything new or different with reality TV in general. Reality TV is all about characters, showmances, underdogs, heroes, villains, and carefully/deceptively edited story arcs.

Lantern7 June 10, 2019 Share June 10, 2019 My point of posting wasn't about whatever inappropriate crap plopped out of a player's mouth. It was that the series gives less of a shit about casting with each year. Seriously, Julia got picked because they found her audition from the previous year, and they decided, "Yeah, she fits a requirement." And they "rewarded" Julia with a mostly invisible edit. Basically, I'm ticked because I like The Amazing Race so much more, yet Survivor gets the guaranteed spots, even as Probst and the other producers produce fewer great seasons. I'm sure the ratings are good enough to prevent CBS from even thinking about shelving the series for any amount of time, but the results are far less relevant. Also: Probst slobbering all over alpha males, and his dismissing of female players, especially when they win.

ProfCrash June 10, 2019 Share June 10, 2019 Speculation is a bit ridiculous. I think it is easy enough to remove candidates but there are still a decent number of people left. The only ones that I think we can 100% rule out are Ron and Aurora. we can probably rule out Aubrey because Julia discusses some other issues that the two had. Outside of that, I can't say if it was Eric, Joe, Julie, Gavin, or Victoria. And I suspect that who ever it was was was more an idiot then a racist. It sounds like one of the reasons Julia didn't appear in the first few episodes may be because of the racism angle, there was too much conversation about the two incidents that she mentioned and TPTB were doing their damndest to pretend it didn't happen. It might also explain some of the tribe divides. I would actually argue that it might have been Eric or Julie because he was tightly allied with Ron and I can't see Ron allying with someone who was using a racial slur. Overall, the season sucked for a variety of reasons and now we have another reason why it sucked. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3723-survivor-in-the-media/page/34/#findComment-5363490

I agree, which is why I'm unclear why speculating about it is a bad thing. There's a difference between saying someone used racist language and calling someone a racist. Maybe it's semantics, but one actually happened -- one is a conclusion drawn out of it. I am curious who made the galling error in judgment to use racist language, and erroneously thought this was acceptable. And I think if you look at the evidence -- taking into account Julia's self-reported analysis of the contestants, the likely demographic where the offensive material could've come from, any firm denials, and the reason we saw absolutely none of it (i.e., why would they protect a newbie from nowhere vs a producer darling who was all but invited back for a fifth time) -- it seems fairly obvious to me. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3723-survivor-in-the-media/page/34/#findComment-5363730
