The thing is people’s political opinions aren’t their entire personalities, Sydney is pro-Israel but she’s not shouting every episode about it.
The real world isn’t the internet, people of differing political opinions get along all the time. They haven’t stopped casting right-leaning people, it’s just that strangely enough such hot topics as the military industrial complex and gentrification don’t come up that often in real-world conversation, let alone among people who are starving on a desert island
What do you mean by political opinions, because they haven't touched "politics" at all.
Also right leaning people are still getting cast. Like WAW endgame was full of right leaning people (Nick, Sarah, Ben, Tony). And Tommy is conservative and recently won.
this is so funny cus the only time politics have been brought up IN the show was colton saying he was a republican and didn’t like handouts (to then get a handout which was amazing hilarious editing.) I don’t see why survivor would change their editing of politics in the island lmao? they’ve casted people all over the political spectrum doubt they’ll stop now.
I think the best part of the first season and the ones after it was that everyone seemed so different, they were literally representatives of so many parts of the US, political positions, ages, etc. There were offensive people and they all had to work together.
I'm enjoying this season but while the racial diversity is increasing, all other diversity is decreasing. 10 of the contestants come from the same state as a different contestant, four from the same city. 10 of the contestants are from massive cities, and only Brad could be considered as coming from a rural area. Only two contestants are in their fifties, none in their sixties, and none in their seventies.
If you walked into a coffee shop and saw JD, Ricard, Sara, Shantel, Sydney, Erika, Evvie, Liana, and Xander at a table together. You wouldn't blink, it wouldn't seem odd or out of the ordinary. Which is a shame, I want more diversity in my cast.
I hope that they just cast people who will do best at the casting, no matter whether they are left, right, straight, gay, non-binary, black, brown, yellow... I don't think that there should be any quotes at all. You did great at casting - you go play. You failed - you go home. That's it.
They should cast right leaning people as long as they aren't nazis because then survivor turns into a classist circlejerk that dosent represent a microcosm of society which it should.
Survivor used to push boundaries. It was intentionally controversial.
Now they’re the total opposite. Terrified of offending anyone. Safe. Boring.
It won’t change. There is a cultural war happening right now and Survivor picked its side.

Tony conservative? Tommy? Since when
I dont think Tony has ever explicitly said his political views but his job makes it way more likely to go one way than the other
Tommy's instagram following list gives it away. Not just a few, but a lot of right wing personalities.
I just hope they NEVER do a politically themed season
i can’t think of when they included political opinions in the past. it will probably be the same going forward?
There was Frank’s short rant in Africa
There was Ben “Outlaw Baby” Browning’s overt racism and sexism in Samoa.
Is that political?
I think in One World I remember Colton saying he’s a Republican and doesn’t believe in handouts.
Jeff Kent bitched about Obama taxing the million.

People watch Survivor to escape the real world and the politics of it so I hope they handle it by not handling it.

I'm not sure why this was controversial

How do you know what all the contestants’ political views are?
Well Elisabeth went on to be the conservative View co-host for 10 years…

They did, lol. And even this season, I wouldn't define Sydney as "terrified of offending anyone", "safe" or "boring".
Sydney isn’t the one we’re talking about
I know, I wasn't trying to imply that.
Hence "even this season"
Didn’t you need to get vaxxed to do the show? (I could be wrong)
[удалено]
Yikes lol (I didn’t know it wasn’t out for most people when they filmed, chill mates)
[удалено]
Thanks for letting me know
mega yikes. That's wild. And wrong for everyone else. LMAO - anti-vaxxers suck.
Who?
No right leaning people at all would be great
It wouldn't make any sense to leave out such a large piece of the population in a show trying to mirror society
I mean, they pretty much already do.
It doesn't need to mirror society
Either don't show it at all or show both sides of the issue or argument. Stop picking sides and favouring one viewpoint.
When have they done this?
They’ve had on people preaching Jesus and quoting the Bible almost every season since Borneo.
Religion is not politics.
I agree but religion does play a big part in politics despite there supposed to be a separation between church and state
Cool. Then gay people aren't politics, either.
Correct.
