Years and years into the future, we’ll have stories to tell our grandkids about how tough we had it back in the stone ages. How we had to actually walk and drive to places before the advent of teleportation.
How we had to type things onto what people called a “smartphone” until neural chip implants automatically putting our thoughts onto screens became commonplace. And, worst of all, how we had to endure getting by on — horror of horrors! — only hour-long episodes of Survivor each week. They won’t understand!
They can’t possibly! Because This episode was so damn good. And think about all the stuff we would not have seen had it only been an hour, like it was a mere year ago. That means producers would have to cut out approximately 42 minutes of airtime. That means you don’t see as many blocks falling on as many heads at the immunity challenge. You don’t get Taylor Swift matched up in an epic duel against Metallica. You don’t get all the drama with Venus at the Nami tribe after the challenge because there is only time to go to the losers’ beach. And, most importantly, you get 50 percent less footage of Kenzie’s purple knee socks.
You get the point. This wasn’t filler! This was super entertaining and enlightening footage.
Literally half of what you just saw on this week’s episode of Survivor 46 would not have made it to TV on Survivor 44. Will every episode warrant all that time if it doesn’t have people yelling at each other during a challenge, a man getting super emotional while talking about emotions, and a woman unable and unwilling to be led directly to a planted fake immunity idol? it will seem completely unfathomable
Okay, confession time. I did this immunity challenge during a run-through with the Dream Team when I was on location, and let’s just say it did not go well. Awful is probably a more accurate description.
The blocks kept falling! Time and time again. The blocks fell so many times they had to go to a commercial break in the middle of the challenge! They even gave us a super slow-mo montage of misery which I mainlined directly into my veins. GOD BLESS YOU, TWO-HOUR SURVIVOR EPISODES!!!
