Previously! On Survivor!
Yes, our content distraction this evening is (in part) the stalwart mainstay of broadcast television, CBS’s Survivor. This is season 40 of the show (since it airs twice a year, more or less).
It has a lot of that comfortable-old-shoe component, with a host and format largely familiar, if aged by the 20 years of airings. It’s also a weekly show that is taped on a far-off island significantly before air dates. In this case, we’re watching TV recorded in June of last year.
So it goes without saying, it’s a story with a lot of people in very close circumstances on a far-off island in a time before pandemic.
Yeah, kinda nice to divert. Kinda nice to pretend for 45 minutes or so that’s the reality in the world.
But we know better.
