Reasons Why I’m Probably Never Watching Foreign Seasons of Survivor

It is a bit confusing for me to hear (or, more accurately, read) different Survivor bloggers talking about foreign seasons of the show. I have done some research or have some other knowledge of a little bit of some of what has been done on other Survivor seasons outside of the US version. As you can tell from the title of this post, I’m probably never watching foreign seasons of Survivor. Here are the reasons why, in no particular order.

Reason one: I don’t know how I’d do this. I’m guessing that there could be ways to do this. I mean, there obviously would have to be ways for people in the US to see non-US versions of Survivor. Based on some sort of lawsuit that I don’t understand, there will never be foreign seasons airing in the US.

Reason two: I’m not sure that I could legally see it. While I plan to possibly do a post on the ethics of watching bootleg shows, if the only way I could see foreign seasons of Survivor is breaking the law, then I’m not going to do it. I’m not going to especially if I have to spend money to do it.

Reason three: I do not have the time for watching any foreign season of the show. While this might have been true at some point in my life, there is no way that I have time for this. I blog too much. I have a full time job. I need way more sleep then I’m getting.

Reason four: I have no idea how I’d work out something like this into this blog of mine. I already have some issues trying to keep up with the current season, whatever past seasons I care about watching at the time, and the random posts that I also care about during the offseason of the show. It just would be way more tedious than I already have to deal with.

Reason five: I don’t currently want to see any of the foreign seasons of Survivor that exist. I’m just not interested in this. I could care more about it, but I don’t. And this is the most important reason that I can think of as to why I wouldn’t want to spend my time doing that. 

And there you have it. Those are the reasons why I wouldn’t want to keep track of foreign seasons of the show right now. I have nothing against them by any means. Indeed, if there wasn’t a Swedish version, then there wouldn’t have been a US version. But I think that it’s fine for me to just let it be its own thing and ignore them. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
