RedEyedGhost Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Regarding the claim that Survivor is not subject to the game show regulations of the FCC is contradictory to what the show has claimed. The FCC rules are mostly effective in the areas of censorship and making sure that there is no rigging going on although the above applies as well. They say that reality shows do not leave much room to cheat anyway despite what some may believe. If the FCC caught reality shows rigging, the reality shows would be severely fined. If the contestants found out that the shows were being rigged, then the shows would be facing numerous lawsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wedge Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 22 hours ago, Gronzag said: No, not really. Why would they do that? I agree that way more male players have found idols, but, other than Sandra, I can't remember many women constantly looking for them. Doesn't Survivor have to adhere to Hollywood game show-type Standards and Practices in order to ensure fair play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS would have had to declare that to the fcc prior to the season or they would get sued to shit by Chrissy, Devon, and Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wedge Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 So I'm okay with Ben winning. His (almost obvious) winner's edit highlighted his hustle while rarely showing others idol-hunting. He worked his tail off. I would have been okay with Chrissy winning, too, but she was often on the outside of blindsides. Ryan had no chance. I wasn't a big fan of Ben's, though. Throughout the season there was too much of him saying things like, "I have to win this for my family. I need to do this or else." They played up the PTSD angle to an unhealthy extent. It bothers me when competitors behave as if the game is their only way out of a bad situation back home. I hope there are councilors there to help out when players with this attitude *don't* win. In any case, I was rooting for Devon. They portrayed him as affable and fairly kind to everyone. His recognition that voting for someone other than Ben in that final 5 tribal was good awareness. It gave him at least a fighting chance to get to the final 3. Overall, the season started out dull, but post-merge was entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
