‘Survivor 44’
Yes, you read that correctly: Somehow, CBS has churned out 44 seasons of Survivor in the 22 years since the first iteration premiered wayyyy back in May of 2000. This groundbreaking reality TV show has turned out to be extremely durable, just like its lively host, Jeff Probst, and this latest season promises to deliver more of what viewers have come to expect: a wide assortment of personality types clashing under difficult living conditions, physically demanding competitions, and dramatic tribal councils. That said, this season starts off with not one, not two, but THREE contestants injuring themselves so badly that they require medical attention; one guy even started gushing a veritable river of blood from his forehead after a physical challenge gone awry! Yet we don’t tune into Survivor for the blood, we just want to know who’s gonna get voted off the island this week, a ritual that amazingly still hasn’t gotten old after 20+ years.
