Brandon Hantz on Caramoan- Now heres what you may be asking. Does he hate Brandon? No, I don't, somewhat. Heres a little bit of fact for you. When you go on Survivor, you take a psychology test so that they know if your mentally well enough to play the game without being a harm to others, BB does the same thing. However, there is one instance where the long-lasting rule of reality TV was broken- Brandon Hantz on Caramoan. Brandon Hantz hasn't had it very easy between SP and Caramoan- He has hadnumerous confrontations with his uncle, a divorce, his wife taking a kid, etc. That can have a damaging effect on your psychology, and can make you nuts. When Production casted Brandon, they had him take the psychology test again. He failed, but still put him on. This, of course, raises alot of concern. A man with his type of psychological hurting shouldn't be allowed in a highly stressful environment, otherwise he will lose it and hurt someone, either himself or someone else, which is a no-no. Brandon shouldn't have been brought back for that reason, so why? Apparently, producers love making entertainment of him at his painful expense. But this is crossing the line. There is no way, even by law, that this should be allowed to happen. He is unstable and cannot handle a high stress environment, and any psychologist will tell you the same thing. Production has done some very, very low things, but this is just unforgiveable. Casting someone mentally unstable by law just for cheap entertainment is something Satan would do.
Anytime "America" gets to vote on a twist- Well, do I need to explain this? This pretty much writes itself. Its something no show should ever do or be allowed to do. Why? Cause its basically giving PoS a free pass with a twist too broken to be given, but should be earned. Biggest example? Coup D'Teat S11. We all know this one, so no need explaining what it does. You can find out about it on Wikipedia or around the site if your curious. The problem here is that Grodner basically uses these twists to ensure that her favorite, not america's favorite, gets the twist. Its stupid, idiotic, BAKA, and ruins the integrity of the game by taking the outside world into consideration. This is also the Coachs return in BB14 also. Its obvs they were gonna be voted back, no matter what america said, because otherwise, whats the point of keeping 4 non players in the house at all times? I think we all saw that coming a mile away. Also, it protected Frank, so yeah, thats also a big FU to BB Fans. (name one BB superfan that likes Frank.) In conclusion, I think that public voting on BB should be restricted to Haves and Have Nots food and thats it. No AP, and def not getting "America"/Grodner to give one person a superpower in BB.
Thank you for reading all of my things and I wish to see you guys when I do my next list somewhere in the future. Remember that comments are welcome. manalord Jonofthefunk TDO88 MattsBBUpdates Mearl Gaiaphage SurvivorFan37 jakehou97 zimdelinvasor tyler2112
Russell Hantz and Spoiling- Going back to last time, I said production didn't do a good job keeping the lid on Spoilers. Hantz so far has been the main culprit behind this whole Survivor Spoilers nonsense. He spoiled Samoa and HvV before they even aired. Idk how he got away with it, but he did. And whats even better, production found out what he did, and guess what? He got paid 100 grand for being on another season, RI. WTF is up with production. What this basically is telling is that being a troll and spoiling get's you paid alot of money to appear on another season. Production in no way punished him ever, and spoiling had never been a thing until he came around. So, if you want to know Survivor spoilers, stop by the CBS message boards and see the huge list of spoilers posted with no punishments by Admins. Way to go Production, way to go. Now you should get why the Guatemala caste didnt share any info with you guys on game
Lack of Sequester in BB3- I don;t get how a social game with confessionals didnt have a sequester house. A sequester house is necessary because jurors need to be able to talk with each other and the only gameplay known to juror's is word of mouth. BB had a weird system before BB4 where people who were evicted got to go home and watch the show as it went, watching the confessionals. Danielle Reyes is one of the best BB players not to win, and BB3 showed that expertly. She had a solid F2, had side alliances to make the F2 work, played the social game, won quite a few comps, and avoided the block till F3, thought that was default. Lisa played a decent floater game, but not one of the greats, and even though she wasnt danielles intended partner, they were F2. Now it should be obvs, Danielle wins 10-0 right? WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since people got to watch the show, they got to see her not so friendly confessionals and everyone was like Fuck this Bitch even though she played as good a game as will, because she said bad stuff about me in a private confessional. Like seriously, was there a reason not to sequester the jury? Confessionals should stay hidden to jurors for a reason, and besides, didn't the jurors themselves slam her and many others in the confessional? Yeah, but on BB, hypocracy is allowed I guess. You people may think I am biased about this, but its the truth. Sequester is absolutely needed in a game like BB/Survivor. And the thing is it was gaurenteed to work thanks to survivor, but BB decided not to do it and it produced the second worst winner in BB history.
On our final part of our countdown, we see survivor make a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE mistake in casting, and for BB, we see the worst possible thing ever. Thanks for reading and I hope I can see you guys tomorrow when I post the final part. manalord Jonofthefunk Gaiaphage SurvivorFan37 Mearl TDO88 MattsBBUpdates zimdelinvasor jakehou97
Production and Spoilers- Boy does production do a damn good job at keeping a lid on things that shouldn't be allowed to surface in the first place. Production has been light on spoilers for years, since the OG survivor's didn't really spoil that much at all. This however changed when a mischievous little troll came along and changed the views on Survivors Production team forever. What basically happened was Russell spoiled two seasons of Survivor with no reprimand whatsoever, which I will touch on next time. Production was asleep at the wheel and Admins on survivor blogs where powerless from keeping spoilers hidden. This happened again with One World and Troyzan, whom was removed from Caramoan for it. Its a small thing, but its significant. Production has done a piss poor job in Caramoan when spoilers hit the net as early as Philippines. Overall, BB may do some dumb production moves, but at least its impossible for a season to be spoiled, while on Survivor Production points a blind eye for spoilers that ruin an otherwise decent series in telling the elimination order.
America's Player BB8- Do you guys remember this twist? Basically this is BB's attempt to let one player be a slave to the viewing public. It could have been harmless, like making Eric do stupid social shit, like play truth or dare, spin the bottle, or other shit like that, which is harmless. However, America also controlled his votes and who he would push to get nommed. Obvsly Grodner would use this twist to rig the show to be entertaining, not let people play their fucking game. Eric is the victim here as he is basically forced to vote off people he shouldnt vote off and vote off the other person that would benefit his game. Don;t get me wrong, I think Dick is awesome, even as a winner. However, if it wasnt for Grodner rigging the America's vote, Dick was gone at F9 period. The vote was 4-2 against him, but then, all of a sudden, he found himself safe 2-4 because of Grodners Fullproof rigging machine, pretty much pushing the Donato's to F2 and leaving everyone in the dust. this was fixed in BB10 when it was limited for a few weeks. However, the idea to let America aka Grodner choose someones moves and votes is BS and I hope to never see this twist ever again.
Thank you for reading, and Tomorrow, we will see a little troll break some big rules and get no punishment and a lack of Sequester which resulted in one of the most BS win in BB history. manalord Jonofthefunk Mearl Gaiaphage TDO88 MattsBBUpdates zimdelinvasor jakehou97
Palau Schoolyard pick- Wow. Just when you think that Survivor has the Fiji Merge split and Haves vs Have Nots, one wonders how that can be topped. And this one is special because it is perhaps a big enough blemish on the production crew that it deters people from Palau, for valid reason. This twist is basically designed to screw 2 people out of a game just to make days up, since I think if they didn't, I'm sure that there would be about 2 extra double tribals. If that was their concern, they why not start with 18 and leave it at that, but no, they have to screw 2 people out that have wanted this forever and would have much rather been voted out first rather than not even get a chance to play the game. This is just plain fucked up and if survivor ever pulled this type of stunt again, I might be deterred from watching it anymore. For Shame Burnett, for Shame. :(
First Night Eviction- How do you top screwing two people getting taken out without even a vote, hows about 1 person not even be in the house for 6 hours. Jodi is the victim of BB's creul Idea of a joke to pull a Palau and screw someone from the very start of the game. Since Dan's team finished last in the game, Dan had to evict one of his players on spot. Once again, so much wrong, but I think you guys can get whats clearly wrong. If this is BB's idea of eliminating a weak player to get an interesting cast, then Idk what they'd do to screw floaters. BB has done countless fuck ups and this is really, really up there.
Mortgage Gate- In S21, Sash, knowing Jane was going, made a deal with her that if she provides Sash a strong case in the jury and he wins, he will cover her mortgage problems on her house. This is prob why Sash got no votes since this was told to all of the jurors by Jane. Also, production forbade anyone from voting Sash to win in the end. However, I think the real response here is to expell sash, dont put him on jury and deny him his cash that all players are promised. This is a serious rule of both BB and Survivor: Your not allowed to Split your earnings. Its there for a reason, so falskin deals like this don't happen and violate the light integrety of the game. But that didnt happen because Survivor production is asleep at the wheel in nearly all of these upcoming parts. The reason this is number 5 is because the next few ones are either very damaging or screw over more than 1 person, although IDT sash had a chance in anyways.
BB9 Incident- We all know this, and it is messed up. Basically its F4 ture or false hoh question and its between Sharron and Ryan. Its close, but Sharron has a slight lead, all that can happen at worst is a tie. The true or false question is are there any secret couples left in the house, the initial twist of the season. Sharron said false and Ryan said true. Now Sharron is right and wins HOH right? NOOO!! Julie Chen says there is another couple in the house, and who is it? Their housepets the Guinea Pigs. The question leads to a tiebreaker, Ryan got it, and nominated and evicted Sharron. Do I need to say more? There is so much wrong with it that words cannot describe it. Survivor ran into a similar prob in Africa F4 where Kim J answered a question right where it should be worng and everyone else answered right but got it wrong, leading to Kim J undeservingly winning immunity and screwing Tom/Lex. Survivor, in repsonse, gave Tom/Lex the runner up prize for their troubes. Is it wrong, somewhat, but at least survivor compensated an awkward situation. The issue in BB was never resolved and basically was a big F U to Sharron who had quite the hard game, being nommed 6 times. This gets 5 simply because the rest of the list is pure garbage from BB.
Thnx for reading and be sure to leave a comment. Up next, we meet an unlucky duo and a mistake so large you know they should have seen it a mile away. Jonofthefunk manalord zimdelinvasor SurvivorFan37 Gaiaphage mattkwon1 bwburke94 Loganworm
Basically, we discussed what were Survivor/BB's worst moments in terms of producing the show. Twists dont count unless they were really, really shoe horned. I want to start the list with HM's here before I go into the top 5
Survivor HM: No punishment for Rupert Boneham in PI despite putting his hand's on JFP, and in an obviously hurtful manner, around his neck. I put this low because, being honest, the rest are far, far worst.
BB HM: Throwing in the Reset when Frank was about to get evicted. Can someone say Allison playing favorites? Yeah, but with what BB has done and gotten away with, Im not as sour with this as some of their other "bright" ideas.
