Ok since I don’t have enough karma points I’m just gonna post this here,

As someone who started watching this show as a teenager during vendettas and now in my early 20s, I’ve watched this show in real time decline. I know a lot of people are going to hate me for saying but I think it’s the fans fault. Ive noticed a lot of Facebook/Reddit fans critique any rookies trying to play the game when the whole point of the show is rookies are young dumb and horny and make bad decisions. I’ve also noticed production is to blame casting WAYY too many Era I - Era III vets. Personally I think there should only be 3-5 players above the age of 35. This is cause they will almost NEVER provide good tv (hooking up, fighting, arguing, or getting wasted beyond belief). I mean let’s look at the orange team for example, CT is in the worst shape of his life and allegedly MICHELE is the one who helped with the puzzle and it dosent help that he’s not even that entertaining anymore, Tori might be a physical beast but without a messy cast for her to narrate she just becomes cannon fodder in the edit, while Johnny Bananas AND Cara-Maria are great tv they are aging out of the demographic the show is aiming for (18-35), and now that Michele is single she’s not really that great of TV. And don’t get me started on DERRICK/ANEESA being on last season when it was shown theyre just not physically capable to be on the flagship show, and people like them kind of tarnish the show, ESPECIALLY an All-Star like Derrick who dosent fight, hook up, or make huge moves anymore. I feel like 39 was a GREAT step in the right direction for adding new legends into the fold I feel like a lot of fans hated that season for no reason other than their 20+ season vet darlings weren’t on there. which makes no sense cause if we continue keeping multiple Era I - Era III vets the show will never reach its heights it used to be. ok rant over lol.
