Survivor…a new twist
I saw an article in the news today about Richard Hatch - the guy that won
the first season of survivor. It was even classified as “Top News” by the
AP.

I’m thinking the network is missing a golden opportunity here…he’s
getting ready to start his jail term for tax evasion. Can’t you just see
it? “SURVIVOR…THE PRISON SEASON”. This season, we’ll be introducing 30
people into a maximum security prison and seeing who lasts the longest…
The beautiful part is, there probably wouldn’t be much complaining about
who gets kicked out of the game. “Oh well…I got voted out of
prison…at least I won’t have to share my bed with “Bruno - the - homicidal - maniac - who - likes - reality - tv - show - constestants - too - much - for - comfort” any more.
I’ve never been a fan of reality tv, but it might be an interesting twist.
Actually, I think you could have a lot of fun with the genre - imagine
signing people up for a $1,000,000 prize…but you don’t tell them what
the game is until you start taping. Sure, it’s easy to say “I can stick
it out on a tropical island”, but what if you didn’t know where you were
going to go or do? How ’bout an Asian sweat shop? Maybe a Siberian
gulag…the opportunities are endless.

If they started doing that I might watch it. Morbid curiousity if nothing else. I still say the way to win survivor is to learn how to make fire…and put it out before each voting session. Hey, you can vote me off and freeze at night, not have water to drink and you can eat your beetles raw, and I will laugh by butt off at you from behind a one inch perfectly rare porterhouse steak and a margarita.
Stupid television shows. And people make fun of stuff like Little House on The Prarie, The Brady Bunch and Dukes of Hazard.
Air wolf that was a cool show.
