2 How can you watch Survivor when there is a USA Canada hockey game on?

3 YES!!! I knew I couldn't be the only moron addicted to this show.  Russell is my fave.  Can't wait for tonight's episode.  Mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm.  Oh, yeah, the "Heroes" are a bunch of douchebag losers, it's so fun.

VIDEO Bush and Cheney Meet Today for the First Time In Over A Year

5 Yo Ace, IÂ’m really happy for you, IÂ’ll let you finish, but making fun of the summit  is one of the best threads of all time.

6 Gotta hand it to Mark Burnett.  The production on that show is f'ing amazing.

I almost watch it more for the prod value than I do the personalities.

7  Thanks for the thread. 
So far this is an excellent season, I think due to a cast of pros who don't knock each other out for having 'had their chance'.

8 If you haven't watched Survivor in a while, check it out.

Nah.

9 Dude...Ace....dude

10 Is it presided over by a rock creature trying to discern the difference between good and evil, and is Abe Lincoln one of the heroes?

11
why are they calling it the 20th season?

12 Go back in the closet....take a small tv with you.

--So Russell's still playing?  He's kicking ass, I take it?

It's still early, but he's looking good.  I never watched Survivor until last season and was so pissed that Russell got fucked out of winning.  This is really a good one.  The "Heroes" are a bunch of douchy Obama-voter types.  In the last couple of challenges, they've had a healthy lead over the Villains, then they had to assemble or build a puzzle and they fell apart.  Delicious!

14 Sorry, I have to out myself -- this show is awesome.

And in other news, I despise Costas and would like to kick him in the nads. Methinks I would not be able to find them however.

Oh, and all this time I thought they prefer talking--about their feelings, sharing the poetry they've been writing since high school, etc.

26 Oops!  Left an old very stinky sock on!

27 I'm a lifelong Republican that voted for McCain but I'd like to say that I think "Survivor" reminds me of "jungle" and "jungle" reminds me that right wingers are racist. Also I got a letter from someone about bad healthcare.

28 "Survivor" want a WIMP show!  Give 'em all guns, 5 rounds of ammo and have 'em HUNT EACH OTHER on an island.  Last one standing WINS!

Yes, but the question remains, kiss what?

32 "Conservatives like reality TV?" I shouldn't say I don't like it. I've tried to watch, but I can't stand it for more than about 90 seconds. So I guess I don't really know much about it.

33 33Reality TV is for the socially retarded.

True, but there is some real potential for using these reality TV shows to actually start depicting the harshness of reality.  For example, if I was a reality TV producer, I'd make a show about Lord Hades and Miss'80sbaby's "daily" (as I don't think denizens of the underworld sleep in the traditional sense) routine consisting of torturing souls and how one can avoid such an eternal fate (avoid relationships mostly, along with other things).

34 Cant stand Bawstahn Roooowb or his annoying wife  Ambaaaaaaah

35 Wow, I totally missed that the new season of The Amazing Race started two Sundays ago.

36 "Conservatives like reality TV?"

Nope. In fact I watch no TV except dvred Beck (so I can fast forward when needed), dvred movies, dvred star trek, and how the earth was made which I sometimes find too liberal.

37 people still watch "survivor"? how sad.

38

Oops!  Left an old very stinky sock on!

Where??!  I'll murderlize him!

39 #34  WTF?  That was one dude.  And I thought it was cuddling.

I like cuddling, but only with a wooden stake and my computer monitor, while it's showing me "classic" '90s Late Nite Skinemax movies.

Yeeeeees. Of course it would be a daily filming. Then you could keep your eye on her. For strictly professional purposes of course.

It's OK to say you don't like reality TV Bugler. There's reason you can't watch more than 90 seconds.

It's a bunch of people who agreed to act like dicks to their fellow citizens for the enjoyment of other citizens watching. Everyone gets to have a guilty pleasure, and Ace provides so much here that he gets a pass, not that he seeks one. But reality TV is produced by and for the socially retarded.

Why?  His voice?  He's is actually from Canton, not Boston.  And we don't all talk like that. 

43 Did ja hear the one about Republicans listening to Obama lie for over seven hrs?

44 Totally OT but too good to not share: after voting in the cbs poll re: obama's first year as prez, i noticed on the cbs site there's a link to a story: "Whitney Houston dreadful down under." yeh, well, i figured that, but i don't think i need to read about it too. ewwww. ok, back to whatever the actual thread topic was...

45 Gah, couldn't the lesbian team on The Amazing Race at least have been hot?

46 Who are you and what have you done with the real Ace?

47 boston rob is teh shit.

48 Sometimes Biggest Loser is interesting, too, in much the same way as a wreck on the highway can be.  There, I've said it.

 But reality TV is produced by and for the socially retarded.

Or....

It could just be for those that will watch 10 minJersey Shore s of *cough, not me, not me, cough* for the sheer entertainment of it. Who doesn't like to watch a guidette punched in the face??

Anyhoo, sure there are *some* that probably dvr way too much of that shit. And while I think 98.638% of reality tv is utter shit, I'd proffer it's no more "socially retarded" than those into fantasy and gaming weirdness.  

 

50 #45  Yeeeeees. Of course it would be a daily filming. Then you could keep your eye on her. For strictly professional purposes of course.

I wouldn't be getting attached to the damning subject manner.  That would also go for my 2nd reality show - Modern Day Vampires.

51 Obama and the libs are fucking us in the ass and you post about Survivor?

52 Survivor, isn't that one of those reality things? Like, let's see who we can get to eat a bug?

53 Ace = a real catch. DnD, and now Survivah!

54 It sounded like Barry was trying to talk like a black man.  Chris Rock, I think, but it could've been Hillary Clinton.

"Help me, Kirk!"

63 Oh, ick, not American Idol.  Although, I did attend a Rock Star Supernova taping and was lucky enough to be seated right behind Tommy Lee when he decided to get naked.  I do love Lucas Rossi's version of Creep.  He seems to have sunk like a stone since, surprisingly.

64 Luuuuv survivor.

65 Decent version of Creep.  But the original still rules.

67 #67 LOL

68 I'm guessing this is Ace's answer to Hot Air going gay...

69 Totally, Paris, it's one of my favorite songs of all time.  Love Radiohead!

70 Shocked that Ace likes Survivor.  I always laugh my ass off watching these guys try to "survive" a harsh vacation with games.  After surviving SERE school, survival school, swim school, etc, this is show is a vacation with personalities and periods.

71

this is show is a vacation with personalities and periods.

All the male castmembers receive free tampons.

72 Canadian Women Redeem Canadian Manhood

73 All the male castmembers receive free tampons.

New or used?

74 The funny thing about the show is that the people who go on it thinking that the "Survivor" name refers to survival training or surviving the elements or catching their own food or harsh conditions lose, and they lose quickly.

It's about surviving the votes of your peers in a two-stage game. First, you have to keep your own team strong so that you can go into the individual portion of the game with numbers on your side. At the same time, you want to go into that second portion of the game without anyone on your own original team who will be a physical or mental threat during the second stage. So what do you do? It's a very tough balancing act. Once you're in the second stage, not only to you have to avoid getting voted out, but you have to do so in such a fashion that if you make it to the end the people who you probably were instrumental in removing will choose you for the million dollar prize over the over louse who made it to the end with you.

The game is full of interesting social interactions. In fact, watching how certain people lose it, can't deal with others, or in some cases excel at it, has actually positively informed the way that I deal with some people.

It's not about the elements. Those are just there to get hot chicks to wear skimpy bikinis.

After I watched the first season I said "This is the reason that television was invented." If someone is a student of interpersonal dynamics (and who shouldn't be), this show is the freaking gold standard.

Personally, I'm rooting for Tom. He's just so incredibly good at knowing what to say in any situation. It's what won it for him the first time. Well, that and the fact that he put on a display of true Man Strength(tm) the likes of which television has never before seen.

75 One of you morons who said on an earlier thread that I should be nuked and the show about me can 'start over' needs to Get Serious.

 I am the Mother of All Reality Shows--but "reality" is code for "strangely compellingly fucked up". 

76 Wanna know what was strangely compellingly fucked up? Temptation Island? Anyone remember that? My ex used to watch it. That, and Fear Factor. Blech.

77 Obama on ACME insurance


Wow. Obama didn't realize that cheap insurance he bought only covered him for liability? He also didn't realize that the insurance of the guy who rear ended him was supposed to pay for the damage to his car?  This guy is an attoruney? He's Presdient of the United States!?!?! Wow!

Are we supposed to believe the insurance agent who sold him the insurance didn't try to sell him full coverage but Obama, being a poor young guy with a crappy car, opted for the lowest cost instead? But he wants to take this option away from young people considering health care though. Unbelievable.

78 Obama on ACME insurance

Wow, I missed that part this morning.  What a fucking moron he was, is, and always will be.

87 Steph, I just watched that.  It was posted at another site.  It's cute...made me sad.  Had to put my yellow lab to sleep a year ago. 

Still have my goofy chocolate one though.

88

70% of the people who watch Survivor watch Queer Eye reruns.

And 115% of those people ARE queer eyes. IYKWIMAITTYD.

Oh God, Boner died!

Quick! Find someone else missing and get their fuckin' picture on the television NOW! Goddammit, we've gotta distract these stupid motherfuckers so they don't figure out what's really going on!

Tami, sorry about your baby.   

I needed to see that vid.   Gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling.   Life really is about those kinds of things.

91 92  That's pretty darned cute, Steph.

92 Next thing you'll tell me is you can't wait for the new season of Project Runway.

93 If you haven't watched Survivor in a while, check it out.

I would sooner gouge out my eyes with a dull spork after it was used to clean micheal moores butt-crackn than to watch survivor or any of its bastard offspring.

94

 I'd proffer it's no more "socially retarded" than those into fantasy and gaming weirdness.

I don't do those either. But it's obviously worse, regardless. Reality TV is real people, paid to act like dicks to other real people, while still other real people eat popcorn and watch.

Socially retarded.

95

62 When he confesses to watching the Jonas Brothers show on the Disney Channel, that's when we need to start worrying.

You mean there is a difference between the brothers as and survivor?

96

Hate Bahhhstan Rahb. Hate Ambaaaaaaaaah. They were on seasons of Survivor by themselves, then CBS put them on Survivor All-Stars where they fell in looooooooooooooooove and CBS televised their wedding and then they were on Amazing Race, and now BAHHSTAN RAHHHHB is BACK BABY twalkin' abaht his kyid and abaht how wahnnaful it is ta be a daddeh damn I wish a meteorite would plow them all into the dirt.

97 It's my opinion that it's not Survivor if it isn't to the death. *crosses arms*.

98

There are already far too many disgusting, back-stabbing, greed-driven pieces of feces to deal with in life.  I see no reason to make any one of them rich and/or famous for their despicable qualities.

Reality shows are the modern day equivalent of watching the mentally ill for entertainment.  Will the American public ever come to a point when they understand just how wrong it is?

99

I don't do those either. But it's obviously worse, regardless. Reality TV is real people, paid to act like dicks to other real people, while still other real people eat popcorn and watch.

And there you have the primary difference.

Gamers and such also serve a purpose.  Come on, if gamers didn't exist, who would the "socially normal" have to look down on?

100 parvati make me want to live again.

101 Parvati is from Alpharetta, GA, and now a pretty decent triathlete.

Not to mention WAY betta lookin' in person.  Boing.

102 Apparently "Survivor Open Thread" means "Flame Survivor. Flame it HARD." in moronspeak.

103 I love Survivor--even DVR just so I don't miss a show. It occurred to me this evening that if Jeff Probst ever retires Boston Rob might be a good host. He knows the ins and outs so well and could push a few buttons.

104 Ace, admit it, that wasn't a real 4 day accidental vacation, you were replaced by a 'body snatcher' and had to meet up with the group and assimilate first

105 "Heroes". Gag Me. Get Ace a fucking dictionary.

106 My wife always watches it, and this season I have to admit I've been watching. Strangely compelling.

107

Well, thanks to all the flamers, Ace will probably never post another Survivor thread. Too bad, because this is by far the best season ever. BTW, it's called the 20th season because they do Survivor twice a year, and each time is considered a separate season.

It's probably more fun for those of us who have watched it for a long time and remember all these folks from past seasons. Plus, I work with a chick who was on it (Survivor: Panama) and she's still involved in the publicity side of it, so I get a lot of inside dirt.

This season is great not only because it's again set in Samoa, which is drop dead gorgeous, but because it has twenty experienced players, so the challenges are harder and the conditions are rougher. Each team is dysfunctional in its own way, and watching them either get it together or implode is what brings the suspense. Fame from their earlier seasons has gone to a lot of heads and the clash of egos is fascinatingly dreadful.

108 LOVE Boston Rob....and Survivor is not 'reality' TV...Survivor is life, baby

109 Ace, didn't know you were a Survivor fan.  Been watching since it began.  If I was 20 years younger I would seriously consider auditioning for it.  This season is gonna kick ass.  Heroes pounded the villians in the challenge kast night!!

110 Well, I'm late to this thread but I LOVE SURVIVOR and am sorry I missed out!!!! This season I'm worried about after last night. Could be Micronesia 2.0 with Parvati hooking up with some of her pals after the merge, plus she already has Danielle and Courtney in a mini-girls alliance on the Villians team. B-Rob and Russell are too busy swinging their dicks at each other to notice what the ladies are doing . . . I love Rob but he's toast, I'm afraid.

111

I never liked Rob before, but he's matured.

Russell will outsmart himself.

Coach is still deeply weird and obnoxious. I thought he was bad before, but now he's added singing to his lame repertoire. He's becoming unwatchable.

Tom's out of shape, which is unfortunate because in his prior season he rocked.

I still favor Rupert.

112 Russell is not going to make it  to the end.  Boston Rob is going to 86 him as soon as possible.  The Machete incident will bite him in the ass.  Awaiting Television without Pity  recap as we speak.

113 They should have jocks vs. dorks....Coach could be the leader of the dork tribe...what a geek.  It is like a car accident...you don't want to look but can't help yourself...
