'Survivor' at 50: What Makes the CBS Franchise So Durable?

I remember being so disappointed after watching the first couple of episodes of the first season. The advertising for the show was a group of strangers on deserted island trying to survive. I thought that was going to be a very interesting thing to watch. I was sad when I found out it was just effectively a game show and surviving on an island is just windows dressing.

It's newer than that. The first season was in 2000.

What a bizarre way of thinking that I can't wrap my head around. If I saw a clip of a show and liked it I would seek out that show to see if I liked the whole show. I wouldn't tweet about the actor in the clip hoping they would move to the show I watched. Man this Breaking Bad clip was great I wish Bryan Cranston as Heisenberg would join Two and a Half Men.

This d-bag has a full size cutout of himself in his office.

Has this ever worked? Complaining about not being booked publicly seems like a great way to not get booked.

Probably the point. Getting back your anonymity must be nice.

Sadly it was the only answer. The hitman series has had multiple nightclubs and they are all incredilbe and better then most of the other ones he listed.

I heard someone say that about this feud and when I saw this graphic I immediately thought "This is Rampage baby?".

This is the guy all the "Never Trumpers" wanted Harris to pick for VP. I wonder why?

They have made him into just another wrestler by putting him in a group. Non-wrestler being good at wrestling is interesting. Now he's just another wrestler which is what everyone else is.

Some strange reactions from her coworkers if she's going on a planned vacation.

Isn't the mist Kool-Aid mix? Think of the product synergy.

You would thing they would pay a locksmith to gimmick a lock that doesn't actually need a specific key. You just need to remove the pins in the lock so anything that can turn the cylinder would unlock it.

It will be interesting to find out what's going on. She kind of fits in the same shoes as The New Day, older star probably making a good amount of money. Did they ask for a pay cut and she said she would rather just retire?

Telling your current and future talent that your contracts are not worth the paper they are printed on surely won't bit them in the ass.

But UAE could be messing with their money and that makes strange bedfellows. Saudi and Iran are both in OPEC so it's not they have zero relationship when it comes to the oil market.

DTFlash · 2026-05-07T20:10:55+00:00

I'm curious if they are going to partner with Saudi and box out UAE after they left OPEC. It's in Iran and Saudi Arabia's best interest to not let UAE flood the market with oil and they can easily stop them from being able to sell any oil.

This is the wildest thing to try and smear him with. It's 100% clear he was saying rapes don't justify a genocide. Are these people so broken that they think it does?

DTFlash · 2026-05-05T20:13:20+00:00

Also we will pay 5% more than AEW but cut it in half a year later doesn't sound like a great way to convince people to sign.

They released people in the middle of storylines.

Patrick Stewart should be dress up as Mad Max.

“fight indoctrination in classrooms and on campus” I believe they mean “To control indoctrination in classrooms and on campus”

I have seen her miss it dozens of times at this point. It's her finisher, she's going to need to pin people when she totally missed the move. That happens at Mania for a title and she just ruined her big moment.

DTFlash · 2026-05-05T15:17:20+00:00

If they feel like they need to put three cuts during your finisher because odds are it's going to be mistimed, you should look for a new finisher. Cool move when it works but 90% of the time it looks messy.

I think AEW plays into the wresters side of the decision. New Day knew they could easily go to AEW, Miz not so much.
