Re: Survivor: Nicaragua
Finally managed to see the last episode.
And I'm constantly stunned by the play some of these people do, as if they have never watched the show/game and understand how to play it. There are some things that you just don't do, if you want to win, but they are repeated over and over again.
IMHO, Fabio was the only one who payed attention enough to previous shows to put his plan into action from start to the point where he just needed to win. Good for him. We were shocked by how many votes Chase got, with his wishy wasy-ness. But I know they miss a lot of the rest of the story. (say when we thought sash might protect Brenda, when the real story was she did scheme to get rid of HIM, but none of that was shown)
Even though they edit out a lot of what really happens- like 99% of the time spent- enough is show to give a good idea what and what not to do.
Then again, I suppose I don't know how I would react given the same situation.
It's amazing that this show continues to go on- it's not like it was, but clearly, there is a core audience that keeps watching. Enough to make this pretty cheap to produce show profitable enough to keep Probst on the show.
