To this date I have yet to ever watch an eoisode of a "reality" TV show. I don't think even this will make me change my mind :D

I quit watching survivor after the second season.  Any "reality" show that has writers is B.S.  I bet the first one to be eliminated will be the astronaut.
The only shows I have been watching lately are shows about improving your house.  Oh, and BSG.

The writers are just for Jeff Probst (the host). Survivor can be fun to watch although I'm starting to find it boring because they all seem the same now. When I want to see people argue I'll watch "American Chopper". ;)

"The Amazing Race" is better than Survivor... in the last season the teams went to the US Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville.

Oh... no talking about season 2 of BSG yet! It only begins airing in Canada on January 14th and I don't want to read any spoilers. ;) The new BSG (Battlestar Galactica for those who don't know) is awesome... many times better than the original which I can't even stand to watch.

Dan Barry was voted off Survivor tonight in episode 6. There's still a former Navy fighter pilot to cheer for though.
