Welcome to Blinded Reality, where we discuss everything Reality TV! We will delve deeper into the best reality shows, offering our insight and opinions. On the docket, Survivor: Micronesia, Fans vs. Favourites. First up, the favourites...
This All-Star season could have as bad a finish as the first All-Star, where Amber Brkich won. Brkich, along with Jenna L. shouldn't have been termed "all stars", and clearly were not worthy of their spot a second time. Yet they finished 1st, and 3rd respectively. The potential for a bust like that is strong this time around...
The men, for the most part, were great selections. Johnny Fairplay is a must, and will surely be gold. James, Yau-Man, Jonathan and Ozzy round out a solid male cast. However, the female "All Star" selections are at best despicable...
Not one of the females is an "All Star". Why does Survivor have to even out the all star cast with 5 women and 5 men? Several past male contestants would have been worthy competitors, such as Shane and Terry (both in Survivor: Panama), Dreamz (Fiji), and Judd (Guatemala)
Yet from one of the best Survivors ever (Terry's) season, they select Cirie? In the final 4 fire making challenge at Tribal Council, Cirie couldn't make fire, at all, putting the entire jury to sleep in the process. Then how about the worst season of all, Survivor: Vanuatu. I know, let's bring back Amy and Eliza! Guaranteed nearly everyone watching the show will think she's a fan, not a favourite. And Eliza is not much better either. She annoyed everyone on the show, and was completely unwatchable. Parvati and Amanda were put on as eye candy, but they both are a snooze fest...
Why wouldn't the show cast true all-stars, like Twila (Vanuatu), Lisi (Fiji), Angie (Palau), or heck even bring back the helpless Scout (Vanuatu), as comic relief!
If not, then why not put 8 male all-stars, along with 2 female all-stars, then level the playing field by having 8 female fans and 2 male? If Fairplay and Yau Man exit early, this season will be a major bust.
*spoiler alert, kind of* Jeff Probst says there will be two "romances", on the show. Fairplay has to be involved somehow. It's the Fairplay thing to do. If he's shown the door early, the excitement, curiosity and pizzazz will die instantly...
We'd love to hear from you! Send us your thoughts, do you agree? Disagree?
