Plus, to top this all off, the island is in a tropical climate, I'm absolutely sure that all the cast members [email protected] were boo-hooing about that. • So when I started watching the show I figured it would be http://pe9asus.cc.ucf.edu/ ~ccm something like MTV's The Real World, but boy was I in for a shock. This show is just short of pathetic and the only reason that I'm not calling it pathetic is because it doesn't DESERVE that title. You mean to tell me that to not die all they have to do is stand on a post and hold a totem pole and the last person standing and holding the totem pole is the winner? To make matters worse, we have some moron who is standing on the sidelines and giving recaps to the cast members. He's asking them stuff like, "What is this man's wife's name?" Then when one cast member had to get off the totem pole for not holding onto it, he was asked, "So do you think that this TEITllOIS. means that you are out of the running for the million dollars?" Excuse me? One million dollars? What the heck kind of show is this? You call a show survivor and you offer a million dollars as a FREE SHIPPING* prize but in the running there is no chance of any of the cast mem bers dying, getting mauled by bears or losing limbs? At this point in the show, when the dolt on the side asked the "million dollar'' ques • tion, I about lost it. So I decided that if there is going to be another *WHEN YOU BUY BOOKS AND ANY GEA~ rrEM THROUGH 10/15/00 show like this, that I should definitely write the plot for it because, let's be frank folks, what kind of a challenge is it to sit around and vote as to who leaves next? So if I were to use the name "Survivor," this is how the story would go. Take an even number of people and split that down the middle, half are male half are female. Strip them naked and give them each; a toga, thong flip flops, one gallon of water, a loaded Smith & Wesson 9 mm pistol some of those nifty blue glow sticks and a box of MRE's (that's military food). For the setting, I'd fly them to some place desolate and dead-like the arctic, Northern Canada, Siberia, Bill and Hillary's room in the White House or the Sahara desert and then tell them that they have to survive until only one of them is left alive. For the grand prize we have a Mr. Coffee filled with the winner's favorite brew, a shower and a warm bed. With all of these great prizes and the chance to see some far off • places, I'm sure that my show would do a ton better than what some corporate bigwig's idea of putting 20 people on an island and watch ,,. ing them backstab each-other for what he found hiding in the cracks of his plush leather couch. ( Oh and by the way, while I was watching the show and writing this article, I was coloring my hair a deep shade of red. So don't blame me for what was said or done here, I was sneezing half of the time from the fumes. You don't even want to see what my monitor and keyboard look like.
