Yup, editing is what pretty much makes or breaks each season of Survivor. I think that's why I lean a little bit more towards liking Big Brother more than Survivor. Both are great shows, but Survivor is really good for strong narratives and gameplay etc. because they have time to edit the episodes and pretty much create a story.

Big Brother is different in that 1.) It's live, 24/7, so you can literally check in on what they're doing at any time you want while the show is on. 2.) The narrative that work in Survivor don't work here because the game can change in an hour. So gameplay is a really big part of it.

Sorry for kind of heading into Big Brother territory, lol. I'm not sure if you watch it or not, but you should consider it!

Anyways, back to Survvor. Yeah, I was disappointed that so many people were duds this season and got so little focus. Wiglesworth was the most shocking to me because she got a lot of focus in the first episode but after that, pretty much nothing until her elimination. I thought that, even though it's understandable because he left early, Terry was kinda boring too. I mean, he was sweet and I want to see more of him (I hope he comes back for either Fans vs. Faves or something else because he deserves an actual chance). Woo and Monica were two others that I kinda thought that were going to get a little more focus, but didn't. I mean, Woo kinda did, but only because he was on Angkor and they lost a couple challenges. Monica though, was really shocking that they didn't do more with her. I was excited to see her.

It's sad that all of those players got the short end of the stick because Varner took up so much time. He wasn't even that good of a character to me, he seemed like a real try-hard this season and he kinda gave me a "wannabe villain" vibe.
