00:44

a six feet under kind of way but among the

00:46

other potential subjects which makes them difficult to find Subject

00:50

of the phrase in question here is shows it's the

00:53

shows that are doing the placing of the participants in

01:25

be in the present tense to match the rest of

01:28

the day Acid with a plural subject and verb combo

writing So how would that read Well like this From

01:42

the original survival show survivor to the many recent spinoffs

01:45

audiences have demonstrated endless interest in shows that place participants
