User blog:Gameshowguy2000/Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X...let the culture wars begin!

This upcoming season of Survivor will bring a whole new meaning to the term "culture wars".

To us game show fans, when we think of the term, we think of things like the battle over gay rights and gay marriage...mainly, progressives supporting such things because we need to keep up with the times (like I always say, "Things change with the times"), and conservatives opposing such things all in the name of "tradition" and "protection" (even if it is present day).

Now, I am a Generation X person (I was born in the 80's, like most of the others here, some of you may were born in the 90's and I don't know if that falls into the category), but I think like a Millennial. I believe in keeping up with the times, and many game shows have kept up with the times by changing the technology. A good example's Wheel, which has kept up with the times by changing the puzzle board from trilons to touch-screens.

However, Pyramid on the other hand, combines the old technology with the new, by using the "trilon animation" from the old eras, and making both the main game and Winner's Circle boards all digital. By that, I mean, from watching the current era of the $100,000 Pyramid, the trilons are all turning smoothly instead of really quickly from the older eras.

OK, now back to the point of this post. This new season is going to feature one tribe of millennials and one tribe of Generation Xers. It's going to test their intelligence and strengths to the limits. You're like, what does intelligence have to do with it? Well, from watching the promos, we're hearing things like "Millennials? They don't have a clue."

Well, we'll find out who's got a clue as to what they're doing when it comes to old-school methods applying to today, or switching out and trying new things...and adapting to change, something Generation Xers usually don't like.

Watch the 2-hour premiere September 21, 8/7 C, only CBS!

OK, I am stepping off the soap box and opening the floor to discussion. Gameshowguy2000 (talk) 01:42, September 13, 2016 (UTC)
