Survivor Bulgaria is a terrible show. It has watered down the elements that make Survivor a great show and it's full of filler.
In Survivor, there is 1 episode a week, where a contestant is eliminated. In Survivor Bulgaria there are several episodes a week, and 1 contestant is eliminated at the end of the week.
There are 12 episodes to a regular season of Survivor.
SURVIVOR BULGARIA HAS 52 EPISODES EVERY SEASON.
There is so much dead air and filler in the show, that some episodes are unbearable to watch. It's so padded, and the contestants are so boring to watch...
The contestants are terrible most of the time, they do not know what Survivor is and how to play. They are unwilling to play the game as it's designed and instead chose to play it in the most boring way to watch.
There is no intrigue, besides the typical bulgarian bickering and pettiness. Sometimes you know who'll be voted out in the beginning of the week.
The host is nowhere near as entertaining as Jeff Probst, but Vladimir Karamazov is an improvement over the absolutely horrible Evtim Miloshev.
Contestants have been caught cheating, arranging payment to other contestants if they let them win, sneaking out of the regulated areas of Survivor and so on...
The editing, and especially the sound design is awful.
Also the only case of a death in any Survivor format ever occurred in Survivor BG.
Overall, after seeing over 20 seasons of Survivor, Survivor Bulgaria is the weakest version of the format I've seen.
