I'd rather not imagine that.

That was the worst example lol

That's not what I meant but I see why it read that way. I meant as much as people hate him now, they'd hate him ten times more if they saw everything he said and be even more invested in seeing him taken out of the game.

Oh okay that makes more sense. I feel like a lot more people would just get annoyed and stop watching lol

If that’s the case, how are we so invested when this show only come on once a week with no repeats? 

Sure,but doesn't most of the investment come from the spoilers rolling in as the season is being filmed rather than the airing of the show itself. 

If that’s the case, how are we so invested when this show only come on once a week with no repeats? 

because since it skews a lot younger than survivor there is always challenge talk every day of the week  on social media with the more invested fans even though survivor has a lot more viewers. The social media presence is what makes "stans" and what keeps big brother and the challenge alive through the off season. It just ain't that deep for fans of survivor because a lot of their fans are made up of casuals.

Survivor is my favorite show period. I am far from a casual and quite tame, I would say the fanbase runs more low key as a whole. We do have annoying CT fans but they're called Rupert fans

Any survivor fan with a brain stans Kelley Wentworth and Lauren Rimmer

If y’all can’t handle the Natalie fans none of y’all would survive the Paul fans.

Natalie fans can be annoying, but her haters are a lot worse. Paul's fans are definitely the most annoying BB fans in recent years.

But that's understandable since he was on the two most recent seasons and he hilariously blew both of those seasons despite being the clear contender. Lol

Never let anyone tell you social game doesn't matter Wink

Survivor absolutely is the best out of the big 3 as far as quality, format, the host (probst is the GOAT) and strategically speaking goes. but you just do not get attached to your favorite players like you do with the challenge and even big brother. Drama is basically non existent on it as well besides strictly game drama for the most part. That is another aspect it is lacking. Rupert is the CT of the challenge but he has only played 4 times and the last time he was played was 5 years ago and he never even technically got to even play that season.  People always complain about the challenge for always casting the same people over and over but shit that is how we develop favorites. I do not mind that as long as a few of my favorites are on each season. I mean you always want to have someone to root for. My favorite Survivor player ever King Tony Vlachos has only played twice in 4 years. I would love him to be on like 5 straight seasons like so many challenge people do these days. So many survivor seasons end and there is just not enough time to get to know most of the people. Even the people that are end game sometimes have a small edit.

I would’ve preferred watching Paul get evicted but watching him lose by a vote in both seasons was just as satisfying.

Yeah. As far as quality entertainment goes, Survivor is the best. They're like Marvel movies. They're the safe option. You know they're going to be good.

But as far as players go, yeah you're more invested in Challenge and Big Brother players. Big Brother because you watch them live and for a longer period of time. You get to know them better than players you see once a week and get voted out every week. And with The Challenge, you just have recurring people.

But this is why I love being a fan of all three. Because I get the best of three worlds Biggrin

Apparently both B.B. teams are in redemption house. 

at least Jozea has experience competing in redemption comps to get back in the game 

Big Brother - Berry Battle

Big Brother - Game Day

paul ******** the bed this season is a prime example of how much a political game matters. A lesson Natalie should of taken to heart a little more. You can't burn people with no explanation and never expect it to come back on you. Can you imagine if the challenge winner was a vote by fellow cast rather than a final at the end **** the looks on their faces. Not saying I prefer that method but it would be a hysterical blind side.however I would like to see something like the power of veto come into play with challenges.

Oh no Cara liking/retweeting stuff on twitter Sad

I totally forgot about those, that's a format repeat I'd actually be happy to see

I need somebody to come on in and confirm Day’s whereabouts. Cause I don’t like having anxiety! Sad

good shit. Well said. I love and am a fan of all 3 as well. my order is the challenge, big brother then survivor. what is yours? I rather watch those 3 shows than anything else on t.v..... It is crazy how survivor is hardly ever spoiled after all these years. Only the returnee and all star seasons really get spoiled. They are really good at plugging the leaks.

She has more than one? :O

I won’t be much invested once both BB teams are out. Everyone this season is just awful, i mean Johnny? Amanda? Zach? Kam? CT? Gross

I would’ve been rooting for a Jenna win too but she’s already out.

How much yall wanna bet Johnny/Tony, Zach/Amanda, CT/Veronica are running the game?

These guys barely ever get competition.

I think that is what makes this season so compelling. every team besides shane and nelson wants to work with different people and are always alligned with different people. It is going to be very messy.

100% agree

I really think Zach would lean towards Amanda’s side as far as who they work with as a pair, Zach cares about winning and it’s easier to beat Amanda’s friends in a Final than it would be to beat  Zach’s if that makes sense

Zach listening to a woman for advise? Ima keep it real with you chief it ain’t gonna happen.

he’d convince himself it’s his idea but I’m just looking at Zach the player and he’s very selfish, both Leroy and John have spoken on him post Vendettas
