I’m not normally someone who gets worked up about loglines, episode descriptions or even marketing materials in general, but the blurb for this week’s Survivor has me screaming like Liz Wilcox after she didn’t get picked for the Applebee’s reward. It basically just blurts out a huge moment that’s going to happen, and I don’t understand how anyone associated with the show could possibly be okay with this.
Before every episode, Survivor typically drops two or three sneak peek scenes, as well as the title of the episode and a few sentences of description, outlining the basic gist of what we’re going to see. I watched all three of the sneak peeks and felt nothing but happy excitement. Then I checked out the logline for "Double The Fun, Double The Demise" and almost dropped my laptop on the ground. In a not so subtle way, it telegraphs that a moment we’ve been waiting for this entire season is about to happen.
