Survivor started out as a really interesting lens on human nature. Now it’s just a game show.

I think Survivor had to pivot at some point and, if it didn't, it probably wouldn't have lasted as long as it has. There's only so many times you can watch someone starving, struggling to find food, unable to build a decent shelter, and having to weather the elements before it becomes old hat. The personality conflicts with the new casts and the game elements that serve to drive them help to keep it fresh.
