A comment so long I decided to give it a post all to itself.
Firstly Survivor is a fricking misnomer. They all bloody survive - that and they're all whining American wankers. It's nothing more than a jazzed up version of "It's A Knockout" minus Billy J Smith and Tracy McDonald - and about as entertaining. If you want to see what a real survivor show should be like - go rent Battle Royale. Now that'd be a rating winner (not to mention I couldn't wait for the Celebrity version...).
Secondly, and even bigger waste of electrons that Big Brother is fricking Karaoke Idol. If I wanted to watch a bunch of no-hope wankers with bad haircuts attempt to screech abysmal cover versions of crap pop songs, I'd go to the pub. The added attraction of the pub is that there's beer there, explaining some of the performers behaviour. No such excuse for these twats on tv.
Thirdly, shows like Big Brother. Now maybe if they introduced psychotropic drugs to the water supply (that's a far better idea than parachuting in pizzas), it'd be interesting. Otherwise it's again nothing more than a collection of morons whose removal from the gene pool would cause a global increase in the populations average IQ. Besides if you want to get off on pseudo-voyerism (and let's face it - that's all it really is - the chance of anything actually interesting happening on that show that might get past the censors is practically zero), that's what the internet and cam girls were invented for. At least they have no illusions that they're selling something.
Fourthly, Why would I want to watch reality on TV? The whole purpose of watching TV is to get away from reality. The only reality TV that exists is called the news (and if you've ever heard my opinion about journalists and their principles you'd know that that's a questionable assumption as well).
Fifthly - ranting is good for the soul Grant. You should do it more often.
