I understand why the season premiere is 2 hours and the finale/reunion is sometimes 3 hours, but our household has really been struggling with these 90 min episodes the last couple of seasons. It felt like a great 60 min show (which is actually about a 42 min show w/commercials).

It feels like CBS/Production team isn't doing anything differently with how they're structuring the season (i.e. number of challenges, etc.) they are just padding out 60 minute episodes to 90 minutes by adding a bunch of boring time at camp... and editing it to make it feel like it's important, when it's really not.

Now if they added a reward challenge along with an immunity challenge nearly every episode, it would be different... but those episodes seem to be rare.

Any CB viewers agree?
