Well, the U. K ..ie my home finally got round to doing another series of Survivor after many, many years and they seem to have paid a bit of attention to other franchises and basically gone back to early days of the U. S version because that really was the best. (With acknowledgment to Australian version where I'm convinced that at times they're out to kill them) What they haven't done is gone wildly politically correct or at least they haven't smashed it into our faces they've just a shown us Brits as we are. They have done a pretty good cross representation of us Brits...from the posh Toff to the not so posh working class with everything in between. And our nations and regions are shown. And they actually left the survivors with nothing initially, old style, earn your stuff the hard way !
Even Joel isn't as annoying as he can be. My only real and constant gripe is the background music. It's far, far too loud. It's intrusive, relentless and infuriating. On U. K TV we suffer from 'whispering' where for some reason the broadcasters seem to think we don't need to hear the words that are said...they are either drowned out by background music or the voices are so quiet you struggle to hear. Many folk leave subtitles on permanently...it really can be that bad.
So BBC do us all a favour and tweak the sound levels...it spoiling a good programme.
Give it a whirl....these survivors mean business, just like they used to.
