My frustration is that they’ve had twins before, and they were jerks, and those twins ALSO clearly had an advantage because they worked together. I’m really annoyed that we’re here again.

I keep wondering who is this for. There are some really talented designers this season but the twins aren’t in my top 10.

The drama they generate isn’t fun or entertaining. It’s just frustrating.

I also find their self righteousness frustrating. They think highly of themselves, which is fine but it isn’t necessarily justified.

I’m a couple episodes behind, and they are pretty much entirely why. So whatever it’s supposed to be doing to have them on there, it’s certainly not working on me.

Exactly the same feeling. I have an hour, do I feel like being irritated and then not finding out the result?

That is the other thing. I think the decision not to show the result at the end is absolutely terrible. Feels VERY much like change for change’s sake. There’s a reason they’ve done Survivor 49 times and they show tribal council at the end, not the beginning.

If the show returns I hope they ditch that gimmick it just starts and ends every episode with a bad taste.

Yes. I think they think that’s what will keep viewers watching but it isn’t! Give us closure. We are watching to see how the contestants will rise to the each challenge occasion.

The producers must think it heightens tension but it’s inert dramatically and annoying logistically! No one wants to start with denouement.

As an infrequent reality show watcher, I feel like it would be deflating for the viewer (especially if it was a fav who gets sent off!). And it’s bad storytelling! It’s nice to start each episode fresh.

Santa Erik Riese @santaerik.bsky.social

This wrinkle is really annoying. The "inertness" (love this characterization) of the ending continues right up to the "previously on," at the start of the next episode and I get angry all over again not knowing who is out. Then to start with the chopping block, what are we even doing?

I've been doing a rewatch of the series since I discovered all the seasons are on Tubi. It's so jarring to go from an episode in the early seasons during its peak to an episode from the latest season (in basic content as well as form with the changes in production style/editing/lighting/music).

All it does is motivate me not to watch until the whole season is online so I can binge and it doesn’t matter. And it’s a bad sign that I’m not particularly concerned about seeing spoilers about who the winner is on social before I do that

At first I was charmed by the Peter Lorre in “The Maltese Falcon” vibe. But then I saw the meanness. And I’ll forgive almost anything if the clothes are cute. The clothes are not cute.
