  • Tweet from Dalton. How bad is S51?

    This tweet is from yesterday morning in response to a question.

    We tried for full pre-game interviews, but they didn't happen. I also
    tried for a Jeff interview, but no luck there either. Sorry about that.
    A pretty big bummer for the #Survivor51 cast to not have anything out there.

    Here's what Mike Bloom got.

    I got to have one question asked on my behalf to the #Survivor 51 cast
    in the preseason: What's your biggest superpower and your biggest
    kryptonite?

    Here's Part 1 of the cast's answers, as they describe their best
    strengths going into the game:

    What's going on that there's no direct access to the cast and Jeff?
    Dalton not getting a preseason interview with Jeff is crazy. Jeff's done weekly interviews with Dalton for years. Something's up and it's not
    good. I don't think it's a CBS thing as Mike Bloom got to compete
    against Julie this afternoon in tonight's BB Block Buster comp.

    For Mike Bloom, that's really a pretty weak sauce question, and the
    answers are mostly bland. I wonder if he really asked that or if the
    show came up with the question for him. It's interesting that his tweet
    says "I got to have one question asked on my behalf" not "I got to ask
    one question."

    I think if I had one question to ask the contestants, it would be
    something like "What's the biggest lie you plan to tell the other
    players about yourself" or "What's the one thing about yourself you hope
    the others don't find out." Or maybe something situational, like if you
    have the choice between competing for an advantage but possibly losing
    your vote or not competing, what will you do? Asking for a super power
    and kryptonite is asking for predictable and boring answers, which is
    what they got. And notice that most of them ignored the kryptonite
    question completely. I think only four of them answered that.
