I love Thursday nights. It's my favorite of all weeknights! Especially during the Survivor season. Yeah, it's a sick addiction, but I'm hooked. I've watched every season, and got more involved each time (the first one, we only watched about half the episodes.)
Every Thursday, I stop and buy beer and Pringles and get home to make sure the family stuff is over by 7. It's such ritual, my friends know not to call me between 7 and 8 on Thursday! Sad, I know. I'm the same way with Big Brother.
I make such a production about deciding which flavor of Pringles to buy. Tonight, it's Pizzalicious. Last week it was Cheezums. Always Michelob Ultra. Always Survivor. Always jumping up during commercials to check on whichever girls is (supposed to be) showering, or check a journal or message board, or run to the bathroom. Then HAVE to be back before the commercials end. Yeah, as I said, it's sad.
I don't know why I like these shows. My favorite thing is watching these people back-stab and struggle for top-of-the-heap. Screaming bitch-fights, crying, faking a loved ones death...all to win a game and get your 15 minutes of fame. Only one is going to win, and the others look like fools. Famous fools, but fools nonetheless. Would I turn from everything I believe in, abandon my morals, and shame my family if I was on that show? I like to think not, but money hunger can make you do strange things. Plus, Surivor has a fantasy league. See? Something I can do online!

I've never gotten sucked into Survivor. Now that I think of it, I haven't been hooked on a TV show since 1997...and that was before I got a computer. That's sad too!
I'm pretty much hooked on reality tv as well. I love "The Swan" desite the fact that's a twisted concept and slightly evil. "America's Next Top Model" is always good for a laugh (models really are pretty stupid").
