Survivor is back

Well, it's another season of Survivor, and my fantasy league team is going strong.  I know, it's an illness, but it's one that I choose to keep. 

Each Thursday, I get Pringles (the official snack of Survivor) and beer (the official snack of me) and by 7:00, I am in my chair, ready to watch.  People let their true personality show when they are hungry and thirsty.  I like to watch people fight over stupid stuff.  Nah, not when it's the kids...that's a nightly occurance...but on T.V., it's great.

I also like to root for the underdog.  This season, it's a tattoo'd chick with some self-esteem issues.  I hope she makes it to at LEAST the final four.  My picks usually change multiple times throughout the season, depending upon who annoys the heck out of me.

I am hooked on many shows, but none as strongly as Survivor.  When it loses it's appeal (and it will...they all do) and the ratings drop, and the expense doesn't prove worth it, Survivor will go off the air.  I will be sad, then I will get over it.  I already see "reality TV" waning a bit.  It was the hot thing, and now only the strongest reality series remain.  It won't last forever, but for now, it's my favorite weakness.

So sue me.

Hey, I am a loyal survivor fan too.  Another show you might want to start watching is LOST.  That is the fastest hour on tv ever, and it leaves you wanting another hour, and you can't wait for Wed.  Wed night used to suck but not now.
