Fans have a very…complicated relationship with CBS and the production crew, in particular Jeff Probst since he became the sole executive producer sometime around 2010ish. Survivor, at the end of the day, is a reality television show based on flying a bunch of contestants out in Fiji to live on a deserted island for a month while backstabbing all their allies for a million dollars. And while it can be great to watch, production always has an investment in ensuring episodes are as crazy and dramatic as possible. Sometimes that comes about organically. Sometimes it is ugly. And sometimes…it’s a little more forced.
Again, reality TV is by nature “fake”. Any seasoned fan knows the show isn’t fair and definitely is influenced by the producers. But problems arise when input from behind the scenes bleeds into the enjoyment of the season. I’ve written about numerous controversial twists, a ton of polarizing moments, and poorly received themes that have all fallen flat. Many of those have come from the past few seasons alone, and it can be argued that Survivor has been going through a bit of an identity crisis recently. The more hardcore audience, at least, aren’t very impressed by the surge of advantages and twists that have entered the game, feeling it cheapens the drama and ensure the crew’s favorite players will have a much easier journey to the end. So when Probst announced Survivor was going “back to basics” after a year-long hiatus due to Covid-19, many were relieved.
>What Probst describes is a stripped-down game — one that he says goes "back to the very basic idea of a group of strangers, forced to rely on each other to survive while voting each other out." The game is the one the contestants create, without the top-down divisions by social class, generation, gamep

20 Players
2 Quitters - wait, what?
Quitting in Survivor is considered one of the ultimate disgraces. Out of thousand of applications, only a limited number of players are selected (between zero and twenty new contestants, depending on the season). Many Survivor players apply for years before being selected to compete on the show, and many more hopefuls never receive their coveted interview. Naturally, this creates quite a bit of bitterness when people choose to leave the game without being voted out. Jeff Probst, the show's host and one of the executive producers, has stated that people who quit the game will never be asked to return.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves -- first, the question we have to answer is...
What is Survivor?
If you're familiar with the show or have ready any of u/Unqualif1ed's Survivor writeups, you can safely skip this section.
Survivor is a reality TV game show where contestants are taken to a remote location and split up into teams, called tribes. For the first portion of the game, the tribes compete in challenges together to receive creature comforts for their camps or immunity that prevents them from being voted out of the game. The losing tribe(s) attend Tribal Council, where they vote out one of their tribe members. About halfway through the game, the tribes become one; at that point, the players compete individually for the chance at immunity. Shortly after the tribes merge, the players who are voted out become a part of the jury, who eventually cast votes to determine who wins the million-dollar prize money. There are more twists and turns that come into play, but none are relevant to this particular write-up.
Winners Never Quit and Quitters Never Win
Across Survivor's 41 seasons, only sixteen people have quit. Many if not most of these quits are considered by the fandom to be reasonable (one contestant left to be with her dying mother before she passed), though some of only become reasonable in hindsight (like when the fandom learned that a player planned to cut off her own finger so she could be medically evacuated after quitting Zoloft cold turkey to be on Survivor).

That’s right Survivor fans, I’m covering a season most people love this time. Considered to be one of the best seasons ever made, Pearl Islands would be Survivor’s seventh outing on the small screen and would introduce some of the most famous (and infamous) contestants in Survivor history. Taking its theming of pirates and thievery, the show truly did everything it possibly could with its setting and story, highlighting the absurdity and propelled by its amazing cast. The season would also introduce one of Survivor’s greatest “villains”, whose legacy would be defined with one of the greatest lies ever told on the show and reality television.
What Is Survivor?

Survivor is a reality television competition where contestants are stranded on a deserted location and compete for a million dollars while living with the bare essentials. Upon arrival, contestants are split up into teams, called tribes, and compete for rewards to improve their living conditions as well as immunity from Tribal Council. The losing contestants must make the trek to Tribal Council to vote someone off their tribe: whoever has the most votes will be eliminated from the game. When about half the cast has been eliminated, the tribes are merged into one and contestants must then compete individually to win immunity. Finally, when only a handful of castaways remain, the contestants who have made it to the merge but were voted off form a jury that chooses which remaining contestant will earn the title of Sole Survivor, winner of the million dollar grand prize.
Each season varies in structure, and there are numerous twists and changes incorporated to switch things up, but Survivor at its core is truly a social game. The winner is usually not the one who wins the most challenges or does the most work at camp (though both of those traits can certainly help), but someone who can form strong bonds with others or at the very least have a story and strategy that the jury is willing to vote for. The people you either worked with, against, or even personally eliminated will likely be responsible for deciding if you or the person sitting next to you will win a million dollars. You need to somehow ensure that when the time comes, they at the very least can accept rewarding you.

By 2002, Survivor had already established itself as one of the biggest shows on national television, with well over twenty million viewers nationwide tuning in each week to see who would become the next “Sole Survivor”. Riding off its tremendous success, Survivor would turn to Thailand for its fifth season. With 16 new contestants, on top of several new twists production hoped would help evolve the game, it looked like this season had all the ingredients to continue Survivor’s home run streak. Unfortunately, Survivor: Thailand would soon become known as the first “bad” season of Survivor according to fans, and responsible for some of Survivor’s earliest and most controversial happenings. Known for its awful cast, uncomfortable drama, and plenty of scenes that have aged poorly each passing year, Thailand remains one of the most infamous seasons in Survivor history.

But Ive noticed this on other shows too. Particularly 90day fiance and all of its spin offs. Seems like alot of women on reality TV show BPD traits. I find this correlation very interesting. One that sticks out from the 90 day universe is Stephanie. And I really think Jenelle could be bpd as well.
Does anyone else become immediately physically uncomfortable when Barry is on screen? Something about him deeply scares me. The odd “calm” he presents does not match the rage that seems to be always sort of living behind his eyes. I cannot imagine how he probably treats his children when the cameras aren’t rolling. Major creep/abuser vibes from him.
I am looking to a reality show (or hidden camera) that is funny and not painfully cheesy, I'm looking for shows similar to: impractical jokers, nathan for you, billy on the street, hidden camera prank shows, etc. Thank you so much!
I have no idea if they’d be any more content, but I do wonder sometimes.
This loosely falls into the hobby sphere as reality television watching tends to attract a following, particularly if it's a spin-off of a spin-off. VH1 was notorious for their dating reality shows, producing hits such as Rock of Love and Flavor of Love. Contestants on these shows would often be featured on other VH1 reality shows such as I Love Money and Charm School or their own dating spinoff shows. These shows were pretty much a license to print money for the channel as they had built in audiences and were unlikely to do poorly enough to discontinue cloning the format any time soon. Sure, some of the shows didn't do as well as others, such as Daisy of Love, but all that typically happened there was that the show didn't get a second season.
WARNING: Depictions of cruelty and death.
Drama wasn't unheard of for these shows, as there were accusations of the shows bringing in fake contestants to spice up the show (Hottie from Flavor of Love and her infamous chicken) and the contestants themselves would accuse each other of various things, as was par for the course for these types of things. One thing that did become kind of obvious was that VH1 was willing to bring on people who had visible issues. Some of them were fairly obvious, like Brittaney Starr from Rock of Love. She did and said things during her time on VH1 that honestly made a lot of people really sad for her since she clearly needed help if she wasn't a plant to drum up drama. I think what was most sad was a moment where she talked about being a former Olympic hopeful that went into porn and that she "didn't regret" her actions. Anywho, my point here is that clearly VH1 wasn't screening their applicants as well as they should, as it was clear that if these contestants weren't fake then they had some major issues.
Eventually this all led to Megan Wants a Millionaire, a dating competition featuring a former contestant from Rock of Love. The conceit of the show was that she wanted to become a rich wife and marry a millionaire, so the show brought together various wealthy men who would vie for her affections. While it was airing, the show was a good example of how cheesy the shows could get as it outright dealt in excesses. Something to note is that these episodes were all pre-recorded. Also, on a side note, one of the people on the show was almost certainly an

Spoilers for Top Chef, primarily Season 2: Los Angeles
Top Chef is an interesting show to say the least. While the cooking competition has a clearly structured format nowadays based around highlighting culinary skills, it has evolved significantly from its original conception. The drama and extremes of reality television are present as always though, especially in its earlier years, and usually for the worst. There are very few in the fandom now that will rush to defend what many consider to be one of Top Chef’s most controversial outings: Season 2: Los Angeles.
What is Top Chef?
First airing on Bravo in 2006, most famous for the reality competition Project Runway, the cooking show sought to test chefs through numerous challenges from setting up restaurants, cooking with specific ingredients, testing presentation, and all sorts of other tasks. Chefs compete for prizes, immunity, or other bonuses throughout the season. The winner will receive a sizable cash sum and the title of Top Chef, as well as a PR boost to their future career. The show didn’t get off on the most stable footing with Season 1: San Francisco. Cearly still finding its identity and trying all sorts of challenges, the season was host to a ton of questionable moments and a structure that focused more on drama than cooking. Top Chef may have evolved significantly throughout its history, but it’s still a reality competition. And like many other reality competitions, the drama can quickly fall into controversy. Such was the case with this season.
Drama, Controversy, and So Much More!
Top Chef: Los Angeles first aired in October 2006, a few months after Season 1 concluded, and the show still hadn’t found its footing in that short span of time. This season would see a new and still current host, Padma Lakshmi, while continuing modern staples like Restaurant Wars (where different teams must create a pop-up restaurant). But the imbalanced focus on drama remained, and major breakthroughs in its editing and format wouldn’t appear until the next season. Still, all of this

Top Chef has had numerous controversial competitors, some of which can cause fans to quickly sour on entire seasons. Though the first two seasons, especially the second, are clearly experimental projects that few agree worked out completely, modern Top Chef has still seen its fair share of issues in pushing the drama too far. Few moments are probably more notable than Season 9: Texas. A season filled with uncomfortable moments and the bullying of a single contestant that still causes immense backlash to this day.

A Pretty Bad First Course
Top Chef Season 9: Texas aired in November 2011, following the monumental and generally well received Season 8: All Stars. Filming in numerous cities across the state, production hoped to build off the show’s first big milestone after five years on the air. Introducing a new side competition called Last Chance Kitchen, where eliminated chefs compete to reenter the competition, and a stunning 29 contestants (if that sounds like a logistical nightmare then don’t worry, they got rid of most of them pretty fast), the show promised to push the show to greater heights than ever before as they explored the Lone Star State’s culinary history.

As I mentioned in numerous other threads, the winner of Survivor can be a highly contentious topic for many fans simply due to the nature of the game based around the jury. A player can be the most dominant, most likable, or most physical contestant in the show’s history, but if the losers do not want to vote for them, they won’t win the million dollars. While this has become a bit more contentious in recent seasons, Survivor has always had its controversies throughout the show’s history. Nowhere did this debate blow up more than the airing of Season 19: Survivor Samoa, where America was introduced to Survivor’s most infamous contestant: Russell Hantz

Throughout all the posts I have made discussing drama surrounding Survivor in its over twenty years on air, I have yet to talk about one of the game’s biggest icons and fan favorites. Having played four games across ten years, Cirie Fields is considered by many to be the best contestant in Survivor history who has never won and beloved by most of the fanbase. This legacy has only been further set in stone with her most recent appearance on the show, where her most infamous elimination has raised greater questions about the overall future of the show.

Following the mixed reception to Survivor: Cook Islands and its division of tribes based on ethnicity, Survivor would go back to the drawing board in order to revitalize the slow decline in viewership. The show was still a powerhouse on television, yet was unable to translate its new twists and changes into higher ratings despite numerous attempts. On top of that, concerns from both CBS and host Jeff Probst that Survivor was beginning to run its course after almost seven years meant it was more important than ever for production to produce a home run of a season. Unfortunately, just like its older sibling Cook Islands, Fiji would attract similar controversy over its central themes.

As I mentioned in my Cook Islands write up, the controversies surrounding certain seasons of Survivor can very easily overshadow the entire show, leaving a bitter aftertaste for fans that taint the season’s legacy. While this usually comes in the form of uncomfortable social encounters and infamous moments, this can also come from the structure of the game itself. Survivor never claimed to be fair or unwilling to stir up drama in the name of higher ratings, but some concepts and ideas should clearly have been left on the cutting room floor considering the backlash that would come. In 2018, Season 38 would suffer this fate with one of the most controversial finales, and hotly contested winners, in the show’s history.
