Survivor Always Had Its Problems. But I Can't Bear What It's Become.
Briefly

Survivor was both exhilarating and comforting, a formula of a show with just enough unpredictability to be addictive, and the occasional cast member to absolutely fall for.
After 46 seasons, I'm borderline ready to throw in the towel on this series. Not because I've had enough, but because I can't take what Survivor has become: little more than Outward Bound for adults.
Some seasons are more fun to watch than others, but even the objectively boring ones offer plenty to debate with fellow Survivor heads.
If you were a total Survivor newbie who started your initiation with a recent season, you might be surprised by how downright enlightened the show seems, given its cutthroat, grueling, and mud-spattered reputation.
