and really only because of the parts of the world and different cultures you got to see. Was pretty sad when they ended that show.

They really did have to do all the challenges, and some seemed so hard. Loved that show, is it really over or just for the season??

version of people watching the gladiators at the colleseum. Cheap entertainment for the masses so that they pay attention as the Rethugs and 1%era take everything away.

Chrissy should have won. She was the smartest and the best. She won FOUR immunity challenges. She made sure to know each and every contestant as an individual. She played every aspect of the game superbly.

Ben was a bully. He gloated. When he needed to use his status as a vet, he was blatant about it. Poor Ben. Poor misunderstood veteran. I do not buy the meme that everyone who serves is a hero.

It was the usual story. Women have to work twice as hard to earn half as much, be it recognition, respect or reimbursement. The other contestants resented her for her brains. Just ask Hillary how that works.

Survivor?

As soon as Ben started talking about his PTSD you knew exactly where the show was going. The whole thing seemed "pre-baked."

he 100% was being voted off before the final three but the show made it sure he was not.

I'll never allow the show on TV in my house again.

Looks like Survivor is taking a page from their sister show Big Brother (aka Rigged Brother).
