With the release of Rusted Root's fourth album, Liz Berlin (vocals, guitars, and percussion) speaks of the band's past, the new album While there may be reality shows cooler than it ("The and Rusted Root's future plans.

Nice touch. This season, the powers that be were not afraid to mix the two tribes up after Maraamu kept getting the snot beaten out of it. It may have been more for a dra- matic effect, but it sure made for belter viewing. While "Survivor" has made some improvements, its bad traits have spilled over onto other shows. The current installment of the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge," which is billed as "Battle of the Seasons," has implemented the nasty voting off of contestants from "Survivor." However, instead of a "Tribal Council," we have the "Inner Circle." Tor those of you who have not watched a single minute, the top three teams from each show make the call on which two-person team gets sent home. What could be a fun chal- lenge turned into something nasty early as the "Road Rules" Inner Circle began voting off its top threats. So many elements from "Survivor" have been put into other reality shows that none of them are really "reality" anymore. "Big Brother" was a bust. Roommates now seem to com- pete for camera time and poten- tial fame on "The Real World." Then there are the slew of dating shows like "The Bachelor" and the God-awful "Dismissed." If you want a show that gets remotely close to reality, you won't get any more real than "The Osboumes." There is no "Tribal Council," no immunity chal- lenges, no nasty competition.
