Thanks for the reminder!

Why I wonder?

Why two hours? They do that most every season, to fit things into the overall TV schedule. The Finale is the week or so before Christmas, the beginning is late September.

Season 40 debuts on February 12, 2020, so I think they want to get the current season (#39) wrapped up before the holidays and all of the holiday tv schedule changes. Oh -- the season finale of the current season will be December 18. And it probably won't air on November 27, since that's the day before Thanksgiving and many people will be traveling.

We usually watch Survivor at 7:00 (CBS airs an hour earlier in the Sacramento region), then Masked Singer at 8:00. We hold Chicago Med until Thursday night because it airs opposite Masked Singer at 8:00. But tonight's 2-hour Survivor messes things up.

Again, thanks for the reminder. May have to watch 2nd hour tomorrow night On Demand.

Have the dvr set!

I just missed the “thing” that happened. Someone will have to tell me tomorrow.

Wow. I'm giving up picking favorites. It's a curse.

This was so bogus. I have a favorite now.

Jeff's comments

Dang! Those women are sooooooooooo fickle! We, as women,don't stick together. Poor Janet and the guy that went home. I suddenly don't like these people very much.....any more.....ya know. I'm NOT into THAT kinda of drama. I wonder how it effected Dan's career when he went back to work, when the show ended and aired?

So Dan was getting too touchy feely? Was that it? There really no one that appeals to me this time around.

My favorites went home.

dedtired....they showed him grabbing a girls hair, her pulling away...and him NOT LETTING GO. She was in tears. Then he wraps his arm around a girls thigh, then her butt, then her waist, to sleep next to her. All 3 times, a different woman and another complaint....that the woman DID NOT stand behind.

They stopped filming and the producers had a group discussion about getting too familiar with female players. Then the producers took Dan aside and spoke to him. They filmed his behavior. The producers felt they had to get involved.

I'm for Janet now and those other women make me sick as does Dan. He was filmed doing what my fav Kellee said he did. And he's creepy looking. I loved Jeff last night.

Ick that is so creepy. He should have been told to leave.

Janey, what do you think the game IS? It is all about social drama.

I get so frustrated when people go home with idols!

I loved Jamal. Too bad he spoke truth to power. Most of those other people make me sick. Couldn't believe Janet voted him out.

There are lots of apologies showing up online, I guess there’s been a pretty big backlash against the women who embellished their complaints.

Yes, there should be a lot of backlash. Has Dan issued an apology yet? Like a real meaningful one?

I think so. His show Sunnyside has been cancelled, not sure if it’s because of this

I think the women admitting they exaggerated, works in his favor.

It was very disgusting. How dare they play that card then back off and say oh we were just kidding! They weren't kidding when they were telling kellee about what had happened to them! Right now I would like for Missy and the Olympic woman Elizabeth to get kicked out. And Dan needs to admit what he did, it's on film! And face the consequences. I hate what Janet and kellee have gone through. I loved that Jeff would not back down as Dan kept urging to drop it and Jeff said never going to happen!

In the Me Too movement, what were they thinking?
