    Hey. Paramounts rtv slate is good stuff not trash :( ok its trash but it isnt as low brow as Discovery stuff.

    Though who knows maybe Survivor and TAR would get Discoveryfied

      There is no such thing as good reality tv. Good and RTV are mutual exclusives. It's all lowest common denominator brainrot designed to appeal to the little lizard in your brain that loves being a dramatic binch and hating people. It's everything bad about capitalist culture distilled into its purest and most mind numbing form. Like twitter on tv.

          But seriously, Survivor is a social experiment that at its highest highs can be incredibly interesting, gripping, and moving. And a lot, id argue most fans watch it as a psychological social experiment, or as a game/sport. Survivor isnt really made for the drama hogs. Its not the Kardashians.

        Survivor doesnt target that side of me very much. I like Survivor for the game primarily. And for human psychology. Yes theres occasionally drama but Survivor (especially the recent seasons) are not really all that focused on "drama" like that. Theres a huge gap of difference between Survivor and Honey Boo Boo in terms of the things youre describing.

      Judging by how the Discovery channel and TLC turned out, Survivor and TAR can definitely get Discoveryfied lol

        Yeah. Honestly the recent seasons of Survivor are so overly sanitized and Disneyfied that it could use some adjustment but im def scared of the show going that direction. Would be worse than the sanitized Disneyfied stuff by a lot.
