Behind the Screen: Survivor: Worlds Apart - Keep It Real

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Dan's just a disgusting old fatty. No wonder he hates on women...

Dan makes me miss Phillip, that's how unbearable he is. Let's not go that far, Dan at least has some genuineness to himself and didn't make things racially awkward...

That just makes it even MORE ****** up what Dan said to her.

Let's not go that far, Dan at least has some genuineness to himself and didn't make things racially awkward. Dan is far from the likes of Phillip, Colton, and Alicia Rosa bad. He's no Coach or Naonka as far as entertaining joke/OTT character, but he's far from bottom of the barrel.

I also like Eliza, but she's kind of insane. She attacks people via social media all the time so not really looking forward to her take on Dan.

Fresh Meat#156

Also yeah, that's awful, but I would like to think Dan wasn't aware of that past. The comment was more "damn I can't stand shirin, just wanna slap her" and not shes a woman who deserves to get hit. No different from Kass wanting to punch Sarah.

Well yeah he probably didn't know about that but for me personally just knowing that she was in an abusive relationship and then hearing what he said to her face it just makes it more ****** up to me.

Yeah it definitely comes across worse knowing the context, but it was still just one castaway talking about how they wanted to hit another castaway which isn't a biggie imo.

Shirin should've went home the first ******* episode when she lost the damn puzzle... But nooooo... The whatever collar they were, ended up sending my boo So home Sad

There's a huge difference , nobody would take kass seriously if she said that because she's a old lady and Sarah is a mma fighter. Dan on the other hand is a big arrogant disgusting man. It's no wonder it took him 29 seasons of applying.
I wish him and Natalie Bolton were on a tribe together , she'd tear him apart.

Just because he's not racist doesn't mean he can't be a horrible disgusting person. He makes John rocker look good, at least John said " if you were a man I'd knock your teeth out"

Why? He said somebody needs to smack her, not I'm gonna smack her. You're completely overreacting here, this is like when you called Reed an awful human being.

Dan is a vile sexist person, I don't see why you don't get that. And Reed was probably one the most arrogant people on the show his "speech" to missy was a thinly veiled way of hearing himself speak.

CMJ said it best in his SurVevmo application. "His name is Reed for a reason. Because he read the **** out of Missy at that final tribal council."

How do you feel about Dan?

He's a misogynistic idiot. He's disrespected women on numerous occasions. He'll get his just desserts, I'm not concerned.

I don't know what would be better? His blindside, or him getting slaughtered by the jury at FTC?

I'd say final that way he can't give a obnoxious jury speech.
GDInstall#168

Dan is the epitome of a FTC goat...blindsiding him wouldn't really be worth it game-wise...

alaskak94#169

I hate that people take these FTC goats to the end cause then we get stuck with watching people like Dan (I asumme he's going to make it to the end now), Phillip, Sherri & Gervase, but the people that really deserve to be in their place get booted before them.

That's the name of the game!

DScott#171

Poor Gervase, loved him on Borneo

Fresh Meat#172

I personally love ftc goats, as long as they make good tv. Kass, Sugar, Lil,Twila, Russell (HvV). I honestly don't think Gervase belongs in a similar tier to Sherri, be tried to make moves, but things didn't pan out. It reminded me of Katie in Palau.

I also still like to think of a world where we get a Cagayan ftc of Kass/Tony where the jury goes insane. Pretty sure it's 9-0, but man the jury would've ripped Kass apart. Particularly Trish, Spencer, Morgan, and Sarah. It's always funny to think that according to castmembers, Kass got a GOOD edit lol

Fresh Meat#173

Also, more and more I think about it and how relevant the sexist comments have been, as well as the general attitude, I think Shirin could win. Her edit has taken a turn: more quirky, we are meant to sympathize with her, underdog. I would love a ftc with Shirin/Dan/Rodney (or Will) where we end with a Shirin win. The way this edit has gone, something has to give.

It would be one the best storylines a winner has ever gotten.

I mean, I want to slap her too.  I'd never do it nor would I condone any man striking any woman but she's annoying as hell

Agreed, though I find her entertaining, she's definitely someone who'd get on my nerves if we had to live together on an island.
