There's some question in the industry about how many people will tune in to watch a competition where the winner is already known.
in other words, how dumb is the american public? i bet the ratings will be just fine. :D

I would watch on old episode of survivor before I would watch 90% of the mule dung that OLN has for programming now. They pretty much have Rodeo on 80% of the time mixed in with about 20% of killing animals.

why do some people think they are cool because they dont watch tv or certain tv shows ??
some take pride in not taking part in society's rituals: tv shows and pro sports to name two. personally, i have a tv but only use it to play gran turismo 4.

(but i have to guiltily admit that i have watched more than a few episodes of america's next top model at a friend's place. :D)

-S.S.-
as are eating and taking a dump in the morning. video games (and presumably the other two activities unless you've got some issues :eek: ) are interactive, personal events.

except for on the monkey you don't see people chatting with others about what they ate for lunch or whether they deposited a floater or a sinker, but i imagine that discussing The Game or The Show wouldn't raise an eyebrow in most circles.

You're just justifying your video game habit. :p

Oh, and eating and $hitting are actually *necessities* unless you've got some issues. :D

Actually, these days, some video games are alot more interactive(especially online) than sitting there watching bad T.V. shows.

Then again, I'm a vidiot from waaaaaaay back.

What?!?!?! Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?!?!!?

Wait....are those four horsemen on the horizon?!??!?

This is yet another sign that no one has their finger on the pulse of the "extreme" society that we cherish and luv....sigh....

Cold day in hell and all that....

Hmmm..... am I the only one left that has never seen Survivor? :think:

-S.S.-
nah, I've never even see 5 minutes of it. OLN has been sucking for a while now. FUEL however is OK. A bit heavy on the skaters and surfers for me, but they show BMX, some MTBing, and MX.
