Thursday night is great TV. It really is. You have the new season of Survivor, and I?ll be up front about it, I love Survivor. It doesn?t give me that pitter patter like it did in the first 24 seasons, but I still like it. But I do have to admit that after sitting through the first 7 minutes of tonight?s series debut I thought I had turned on National Geographic. I like knowing about the local tribes and shit, but it was a bit much. The local ?tribe?, who really work at WalMart on the other side of the island, came running up with spears and grunting and stuff. It was kind of embarrassing because for a second I thought they would actually spear the contestants and let them bleed to death on the shore and it would have been the best reality TV show ever. But that didn?t happen and I was stuck watching the beauty contest plod through its predictable first episode.
So then came the Apprentice and once again you had a bunch of media whores who hired an expensive trainer the minute they found out they were going to be on the show so they could bulk up and look good for their one chance at getting out of their small town and sad life. Pathetic, but I watch. So tonight begins a two month ritual of watching TV or taping the shows every Thursday night because I am a ?reality TV? junkie. It?s not true reality TV because the show are scripted and they have planned events, not like cops or the MTV things called fly-on-the-wall TV, but it sure is entertaining.
Trump picked awful and terrible people to prove a stupid point. Bad decision but GREAT TV. Bye-bye goatee boy, maybe now you?ll take off that stupid necklace you wear. And no, you are not a general. Tool.
