Survivor as a low stake show…

This is the first I’m hearing it described as such…

Right but I don’t like it, it comes across as heavy-handed and condescending and predictable, it is written with the purpose of up a ā€œlife lessonā€ a writer made up in their head and which I have no reason to trust, rather than just an attempt to realistically show how a personality interacts with a situation. They are shows for children that are trying to communicate to children and I am not a children and thus find this off-putting

I wanna try german raw minced pork with onions on bread SOOOOO bad :sob::sob::sob:. I think minced meat has such a pleasant texture. I wish it was safe to eat here :pleading_face:

It’s all pretend! Nobody’s gonna die

I suppose it’s less the size of the stakes and more the groundedness, I want it to feel like I am receiving some kind of insight of value into life, and Survivor is playing pretend

Like I don’t want a show where the writer has a Lesson To Communicate and is hitting you on the head with it. I like things that try to depict experiences. And sometimes have hype moments and aura

oh. You meant life and death stake…
(there is big money on Survivor, so it’s still not a low-stake game…)

What about Alice in borderland?

Ehhhh not quite life-or-death. It’s just gotta feel real. Either being literally a realism show (political or medical setting) or being a sort of fantasy exaggeration of what real life feels like (Madoka Magica is what being in middle school feels like)

this looks like you forgot that a sandwich is typically supposed to have two sides

It’s not enclosed with bread. It only has stuff on one side of the bread

When you guys eat peanut butter on bread do you always put it between two pieces of bread? I never do that. Too much bread. I use only one slice of bread. And lots of peanut butter and then cocoa spread on top

You don’t have bread on both side to call something a sandwich.

(So a pizza is sandwich by definition…)
