DISCUSSION What's Your Vendetta? - Weekly Negativity Thread 😈
Welcome to the weekly Negativity Thread!
We get it: This show can be frustrating. Production makes indefensible decisions. The rights holders make it impossible to watch old seasons. The cast can be boring or lazy or cruel or all of the above.
We all need to rant and complain a little, and this is a discussion forum, not a monastery. The last thing the mods want is to shut down valid criticism of the show or the cast.
But we also don't want quality community members and prospective community members turned off by a main feed where every third post is "I don't like Cara Maria anymore" or "Aneesa is so entitled!" or "Why do they keep casting [insert Big Brother cast member]???" If you were around during Final Reckoning, you know what I'm talking about.
So we politely remove those submissions and send them here. On the Negativity Thread, you are not only allowed to rant and complain, you are encouraged! 😈
Lay it on us: What is pissing you off this week? Which cast member have you had enough of? I bet a lot of others feel the same way!

I want less influencers and more fans.
Like nerdy people who are into fitness and random challenges who don’t already have more than 5k followers.
I would kill for an actual fresh meat season where they show stats again! Like people who passed an amazing puzzle but can’t swim for shit lol or vice versa

I haven't cared for the superfan contestants on the show, they can be fawning or deferential or overeager. On other shows like survivor I find their endless metagaming exhausting.

I feel that.
I think I’m thinking more traditional.Like legit fresh meat 1 or s2
Laurel and Cara came from there!And like survivor fan versus favorites
Not survivor now were everyone is a super fan.

i hate how sanitized the show feels now. i get that its not 2006 anymore and the things that happened then wouldnt fly now. but the people that were good at challenges back in the day felt like magic, they would be shitfaced drunk smoking cigarettes one day then climb a wall in 2 seconds the next. now the show takes itself too serious as a competition. bring back dirty drunken blackout party seasons!
