Too Much TV

If you read my NY Ranger blog, you'll see why I haven't been typing. The other reason is because my computer suffered a slow and painful death; leaving me unable to access the web. But thanks to a new computer, I'm now back online.

Due to my annoying medical luck, I've been watching way too much TV lately. I'm actually getting sick of it. Who knew I'd ever say that. Now that I'm better I think I'll be cutting back - except during my twilight insomnia hours.

I'm sure I could go on and on about different shows I've been watching, but for right now I want to talk about how annoying last night's Survivor was. It started out rather interesting - each tribe got to "kidnap" two players from the opposing tribe. But then things got aggravating. First of all, did anyone else want to tell Jaime to stop sucking in water from that disgusting lake? She and virgin-boy Erik were getting their flirt on and Jaime kept smiling as she dropped her toothy grin in the water. Then she kept spitting it out all over the place. GROSS. Just keep your head above the damn water!! Later on, she and her nitwit cohort, Peih-Gee, decided to throw the challange so they could oust one of their new "kidnapped" tribe members. Their rationale? They wanted to keep as many of their original tribe members in play berfore the tribes merge. BUT, she's assuming she knows exactly when that's going to happen. Why not keep your two new, and quite strong, players in for as long as possible? I really hope this bites them both in the ass. Plus, if you're going to throw a challange, don't be so damn obvious about it.

Another random thought about Survivor. It never ceases to amaze me that, for as long as this show's been on, NOBODY ever knows how to start a fire. You'd think you'd try to get this skill down before getting to the island. Yet, time and time again, people have to wait until after the first tribal council to get it. Sheesh. As for me, I'd rather go on Big Brother.
