Survivor Anyone?

Are there any Survivor watchers out there? Yes, sadly, I’m addicted. I do think the show is running out of ideas, but each season I tune in. This season it’s fans vs. favorites: a bunch of people who have already played this game; and people that sit home every season playing armchair quarterback. Both teams have a pretty good grasp of what goes on in Survivor and a general idea of the different types of challenges. As I was watching Episode 2 the other day, I had an epiphany. They were doing a challenge that had been done in the past. It was a water challenge in which you run across a line of “lily pads”; swim to a stand; climb a ladder; jump off a platform hitting a tile with an ax; grab the key out of the water and swim back to shore. All the women were wearing their skimpy little bikinis. Butts were being shaded out where the bikini bottoms rode up a little too high. Tops were barely holding in the “girls”. As several of the women swam back to shore, their boob or boobs had fallen out of the skimpy bikini top. You would think that after all these seasons these women would figure out that they should get a swimsuit that holds them in. Cirie actually had on a tankini that was very flattering yet very containing. I was grateful for this since last year she ran around all season in her bra. Anyone who has watched Survivor for any amount of time has seen episodes where one of the men takes off his shorts and competes in the nude. I guess he thinks it will give him an advantage because no one will want to touch his junk. Of course, there’s the ever famous Richard Hatch who spent most of the first season naked. My only conclusion is that these women are trying to use their breasts to their advantage and if one of their boobs falls out once in a while, it may endear them to the men and save them at tribal counsel. It’s either that or these women are a bunch of morons that make all women look stupid. Last season there was a girl who lost her top during a challenge and then made a big ordeal out of it and stated how shocked her mom would be when she saw it on television. Yeah, right. I’m not buying it.

On a side note, did anyone notice that Joel the firefighter talked everyone into voting off Mary but then he voted for Tracy? Very sneaky!

(In case you’re wondering, my husband does not watch Survivor with me and thinks it’s stupid so I don’t have anyone to discuss these things with.)
