If you glanced at Survivor Twitter at all during Season 44, you probably saw a lot of comments about how spectacular the cast was. And rightfully so. I’ve watched every season of the beloved reality show, and I’d put this last one in the top ten for sure in terms of player likeability. Carolyn and Yam Yam are two historically fun castaways and a handful of others could easily come back and play again. It was a delight to watch a lot of these people play.
But if you dig a little deeper and get past all the positivity about certain players, you would notice all is not right or harmonious with the Survivor fanbase. In fact, there is a fair bit of negativity, and that undercurrent of frustration is only getting louder. Despite enjoying specific players and random moments, there are many that are down big on Survivor, and in my opinion, host Jeff Probst and the producers need to start listening. Because while there have been a ton of great castings in recent seasons, the show is also beset by some larger problems that need to be addressed.
