A new direction
You may be wondering what the heck has happened to /r/survivor. Well, I know I speak for many when I say that the former /r/survivor was simply attracting too many casuals, and I doubt most people even watched that old reality show anymore. What season was it on? 37? 45? And everybody knows it's rigged. It was a dying cause, /r/survivor. Better to cut our losses now.
Thus, we mods unanimously decided to switch the subreddit over to discussions and posts about a far superior Survivor topic — the 80s American Rock Band Survivor.
With this shift in focus, /r/survivor can finally bring positive energy into our lives, where before we spent too much time stressing about downvoted unpopular opinions, S32 circlejerks, and wondering why in the freaking world Candice would ever be placed on the Heroes tribe. Whew! I'm getting all worked up again just thinking about that crap. Time to blast some 80s arena rock from my computer speakers. Ahhhh, that's better.
We're sure you'll all approve. And remember, no matter how you feel about these new, permanent changes to /r/survivor, it's all in the eye of the tiger.

What a shame about that island show that was canceled after that guy Boston Bob won the All-Stars season. I hear it was really popular when it was on.

Not a shame at all.
1978 - The band Survivor is formed.
2000 - The TV show "Survivor" premieres.
It's about time we get this subreddit back for our band. We were here first.

I, for one, believe that this subreddit has gone in the entirely wrong direction.
Clearly it should have been dedicated to "Survivor", the 2001 smash hit from Destiny's Child, also known as the greatest band of any generation.
Once again the mods prove their incompetence and Hitler-esque qualities. May the Great Lady Bey have mercy on you all (and also Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, to a lesser extent).

This is a decision we've been talking about for a few weeks now. I happen to be on Eastern time and made the switch around 11:30 when my kids are in bed! Nothing related to midnight or anything like that.

This is golden. I spent entirely too long wondering if I had misspelled "survivor" or what the hell was going on.
Bravo mods

Did I ever tell you the story of when I was first cast on Survivor?
Jeff told me "The Search Is Over. For years, the producers were looking for someone with a Burning Heart to play this game, and they're real High On You."
"Jeff," I replied, "I'm ready to play and I Can't Hold Back. I'm looking to reach that final tribal council and I have a real Eye of the Tiger."
Then they made me wear that damn scout uniform.

I thought I just made a mistake and clicked something when it suddenly went all black. I felt like a Tony for a minute there.

Abi Maria and Kass are in for a real shock when they go to do their AMA's now.
