So a while ago the winner for 'Survivor' was announced. Why this show got so popular I'll probably never know. Seems to have something to do with the voyeur television trend. MTV came up with the Real World. Okay, the first cast wasn't that bad, MTV still showed videos, all was well. Then MTV shows the Real World day and night to the point that you can't escape these people, and with every cast it seems that the people get twice as annoying as the last. Then comes Road Rules. Not only do we have these annoying people on the Real World on TV, but MTV sends their blight elsewhere so that the rest of the country is subjected to their stupidity too. Real World verses Road Rules?? Man if there is any time that I wished Sadam Hussein developed a nuke, it was when I saw this on TV... praying that someone would drop some weapon of mass destruction on these people.
Anyway, back to 'Survivor', everyone makes a big deal out of it, and how much back stabbing there was, etc etc. I only watched the show once actually (well the last 75% of one show anyway). Mainly I didn't like anyone on the island... except this one guy who was a dairy farmer. I think to myself, "Hey, that guy is pretty cool", then he gets voted off the island and I think, "Man this show sucks" - and I go about my business back to my computer where I don't have to put up with commercial breaks that are too long. My mom decides that she wants to see who wins and I saw the last 10 minutes of the final episode. Well this older guy wins, and I think "this is it? Why are people making such a big deal over this? Where's the death match?". I guess I just can't get into all this reality - tv stuff. I heard the next 'Survivor' will be in the Australian outback.. I almost fell over laughing. The outback, where 8 of the 10 most poisonous snakes in the world live. The outback where other hazards like poisonous scorpions lurk under every rock. Guess the family of the least decayed corpse gets 1 million dollars or something. You CAN live in the outback, if you have the knowledge. Hey, the aborigines live out there, but the skills to really do well in an environment like that have to be learned from a very young age, stuff a bunch of city kids out there and watch them drop. Well maybe that would be worth watching.
What I really want to watch is MY version of survivor. The basis is that you stick a bunch of super models on an island and the last one that survives gets 1 million dollars and some cheese cake. Then every week each team has to vote one person off and each candidate from the team has to have a duel in a mud wrestling match. The winner gets to stay, the loser gets sacrificed and the rest of the survivors have to eat her ^_^ . So basically unless you make a show where I can simply sit back and watch super models get the crap beat out of them, I'll just stick to my computer.
