did you know survivor is fake bc there's actually producers and microphones and camera equipment all over the beach!!! also it's funny to me when people equate games to things like ghost hunters 💀

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

me when i've been proclaiming no one will ever hear from him again when i am told he has come out of hiding to do all interviews, play again on 28, be cast on the traitors and the challenge, and start a podcast

vince is not going to do any interviews unless maybe he can screen the questions, and also i don't think any are necessary because i feel like he did the same thing all season,
idk what there is to even ask that he would answer lmao. also bc i am a hater 🙃 #bb27

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

kristian @purplekristian.bsky.social · 1d

the pre jury phase used to be my favorite with all different types of people meeting and interacting and butting heads! i don't think it's even possible with this format and casting, it just makes for bad tv i'm sorry!!! #survivor49

the show has to consider it a failure that this keeps happening and should have made adjustments already but it still feels like they think it's great

kristian @purplekristian.bsky.social · 1d

"it might be fun to watch" it literally is not and we complain every season about it at this point #survivor49

kristian @purplekristian.bsky.social · 1d

especially with how these 3 tribe seasons go! they have no content for more than two thirds of the cast and might not for a while still lol

kristian @purplekristian.bsky.social · 1d

it is 8:40...idk i just don't think that necessitated that much time sorry, bring back 60 minute episodes #survivor49
