You don't have vindictive players YET. It's still early. A couple seasons ago, players went through some personality/ego changes as they went through physical changes and "the guys" got horribly, horribly cocky (or at least were edited to appear so), and I really hated the end of that season. That said, while I want to be a continuing fan of the show, I just can't take it anymore. The way they edit it, the way they stretch it out to two hours. GAH. That show should be 30-60 minutes, max. Seriously. We can't see more than 3 people weigh in without another commercial? And the fake drama going into commercials is so very annoying. It's become a drinking game (that's healthy, right? sigh) to decide whether all those grimaces and oh no's! heading into a commercial mean the person hosed the weigh in... or whether it was just a ploy by the production staff. I can handle the product placement and the in-show commercials. "Yes, team, let's all chew a piece of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. Mmmmmm." But the sheer number of regular commercials and the manipulative nature - that I can't take anymore. I will watch a recorded version every now and then just to check in. I skip through all the chaff. It takes about 15 minutes to watch. This includes the challenges, some of the conversations and interviews, and the actual weigh ins. The other 75 minutes is filler. And that ratio is just WRONG.
Be safe. Be kind.
