    “Reality TV” needs to fucking go, alongside most of the current mass media.

    If you take away my Survivor I will betray the revolution.

    Kidding of course but please don't take away my Survivor.

      Dunno what the hell is "survivor" lmao, I mostly refer to the ones where actors or very, very fucking dumb folks are put together somewhere and are made to provide entertainment.

        Damn it was the biggest show on television in 2000 lol and is still going, though yeah its obscure today and I doubt most zoomers have heard of it. Its a competition based reality show about putting people in a remote place, usually an island, with limited supplies for survival and having them vote each other out. I love the social strategy element even though a lot of it is petty drama as well.

          Oh I see. Well, there's been way worse in terms of reality TV, but I dislike that kind of stuff.

            Probably its biggest sin is that its basically the reason the rest of reality TV exists. It wasn't the first Reality TV show in America (or even the first show with that premise internationally) but its huge success caused the huge boom of reality tv. It was like, the Super Mario of reality TV. I stand by the early seasons being legitimately quality television, and the later seasons being mostly dumb fun, but yeah.
