Is Survivor Sexist?

Back in May I watched about five seasons of Survivor over a period of two weeks. I was visiting a friend and we had nothing else to do. It is one of my favorite shows and I could watch another five seasons in the next two weeks if I wanted to. It's exciting, intriguing, and funny.

But is it sexist? There are more older men than older women, men's age and experiences are appreciated more, most of the women are thin while the men's builds have more diversity. In the season that is on now there is more blatant sexism than there has been before. Almost every episode, the fact that older women with children are being made fun. 

During Redemption Island, a place where players voted out of the game have a chance to go back into the game, the winner of the challenge is allowed to give a hidden immunity idol clue to a player still in the game. Candace, with malice toward Brad Culpepper for voting her husband out of the game, has the clue given to Brad's wife Monica. As soon as Monica receives the clue, Brad tells her three times to throw the clue into the fire. Earlier, Candace told her husband, John, that they should give the immunity idol clue to Monica. Jeff, the host of Survivor, made fun of John for listening to his wife, which is obviously weak. Right afterward Brad yelled at his wife to throw the clue away. Candace says to Monica, "Are you going to listen to that," which is what Jeff said to John when he listened to his wife. Jeff retorted, "That's the first time that's ever happened." This implies that women never listen to their husbands, making them seem like bitches.

Of course this could be edited this way or done on purpose to add a little drama, but why is that even okay? I still enjoy this show and I know that comments like that aren't okay, but there are still people out there agree with it/think it's funny.
