Why did it hit so differently back then than suppose if a show like that dropped today it would hit?
Is that the way where Survivor got the format in the way other shows didn't?
It was the competitive nature of it?
Short of actually going on Survivor Hartley and winning and making that money, which is, you know, hard to do, you have decided to make a career of this, or at least a career in part, Survivor, another way, teach a course on it.
What inspired you to, like, pitch to a university, we need to do a course like this, and decide to teach something like that?
Which is to the Dean of Survivor fan, I'm guessing.
So we talked about season one.
Let's just gloss over what happened in the last 26 years.
We're at season 50 now.
How has the show changed?
Is it adapted to meet kind of modern times?
Has it adapted to meet what reality TV looks like today?
100%.
Do the players, the real studious players, watch every season and come up with a plan coming in, probably?
knowledge base of how to approach the game one of my former co-workers at an old job he was just like cool guy he was in like a country western band he just seemed like too cool for school and i found out that he was a secret survivor super fan i asked him about survivor once and he would not shut up for hours what is it about this show that creates the super fan people who've got like the history of the program memorized
Well, how can I get into it?
I've probably been bluffing my way through this interview.
I've never actually seen it, maybe an episode here and there.
But when I think about it, and my girlfriend really does want to start watching it, all I can think to myself of is 50 seasons.
Where do I even begin?
