Hahaha, no, we're watching Survivor.

Oh right, I remember you saying that in another thread. I can't believe there's 47 seasons of Survivor already. They obviously put out a couple seasons each year.

Yep 2 seasons a year since 2000, missed a little bit of time from COVID. Slept on this show for so long, didn't get into it until like 2021.

I watched the first 5 seasons when they originally aired but haven't really seen it since. I forgot that I even saw season 5 until I just looked up a list of the winners and I vaguely remember Brian the sleazy used car salesman.

Just popping in here to say that Paramount+ has the absolute worst app imaginable lol.

It's slow and non-responsive, crashes somewhat regularly. Recently our "continue watching" portion is broken and won't update. So we have to manually select the show, season, and episode that we want to watch. It's pretty frustrating when we're watching a show with 47 seasons and have to scroll back into the 20s-30s, and then all the way to the episode.

That's all.

To me peacock is the worst. Often doesn’t work or load. Quality of stream is complete ass compared to other streaming apps (including non licensed). Navigation through the app is poorly designed and not intuitive like others.

I've only used Peacock to watch one show, so I'm not as familiar with it, but I've heard from others that the app is pretty terrible too
