Survivor is back on the air. It seems like they do a lot less product placement than they used to. Is that accurate or is it my imagination?.And if it's true, why?

Maybe because you’re the last person who still watches survivor.

I don't think CBS is the type of company to pay for 50 seasons of a show that only 1 person watches.

I watch it. I keep expecting it to get worse but it still intrigues me. There is a Marvel producer on it this year, but he’s told everyone he’s a stay at home Dad. Maybe that’s subtle product placement. Mike White was famously a contestant and finalist, says he based a lot of what he saw and learned being on the show in writing White Lotus. It’s not for everyone, but I get sucked in.

Unless he's going to throw on a Doom mask sometime in the season that doesn't count. Also, being from LA I can tell you that "Marvel producer" could mean he's the guy who picked up Kevin Feige's dry cleaning.

Substantially less product placement. I don’t even remember the last time they had a reward that was branded. They used to like “your reward is a full meal from Applebees” or “winners get a new Ford.” I think it’s for a few reasons. First, since the pandemic, they’re marooned for a shorter period of time. Second, I don’t think they need the money, tbh.

I think Jeff doesn’t like the overly commercial association. And the big prizes, like a car, probably overly negatively impacted contestants who would still have to pay taxes on it.

They sort of wax and wave with doing them. Some seasons have one branded reward, other times they don’t.

Pretty famously a few seasons back, a contestant blew up on another contestant because they weren’t chosen for the Applebees reward. It was great television.

Thoughts on giving less than 2 weeks notice?

I’m quite frustrated and ready to start new job ASAP. I’ve been at current job for nearly 3 years and anyone who might be potential reference for future jobs (old bosses) has already left the company. I have good relationships here otherwise too.
1.5 week notice will work out with my upcoming travel plans and personal life as well, but concerned about if agencies really put you on “do not rehire” list?

Anyone give less notice and get in trouble?
