Survivor popularity

[Jennifer Piersol]

Okay, okay, I admit it.  I am a Survivor fan.  My husband is, too.  
Here's how bad we are:

* Our daughter sings and dances to the theme song.
* When she hears the first few bars, she says, "Yeh-wi-ers!" (she's  
in a phase where she tends to put the first phoneme of a word at the 
end of the word)
* My husband and I also sang "ding dong, the witch is dead" when that 
woman (Jerri) got voted off.
* My husband went into a cbs.com chat room with the name 
"Jerri_is_a_porn_star" and spread nasty rumors (shhh, don't tell)... 
by the way, he didn't know that Jerri HAD been in a porno 
(downloadable, btw) until I pointed it out.
* I knew that Jerri had actually been in a porno.

And the most pathetic display?  <drumroll>

* Tonight was our 4th anniversary.  We were at the table, drinking 
wine (the same wine we had on our honeymoon and on our first 
anniversary), eating our dinner, when my husband looks at his watch 
and says, "Survivor's coming on in 5 minutes."  Well, we'd JUST 
started dinner, so I say, "Oh well."  And I didn't mean we were going 
to miss the show.  I meant "Oh well, there goes dinner at the table" 
(and my husband KNEW what I meant), and we pick up everything and set 
up tv trays in the living room. ;)

Sad, isn't it?

We love Elisabeth and Rodger!)

ps.  We pretty much can't stand the other "reality" shows (of course, 
they are in no way reality.  In whose reality does someone set up a 
camp in a river bed?  In whose reality does someone go into the armed 
forces, just to endure boot camp?  In whose reality does a couple 
that has been together for upwards of 5 years go on a vacation to 
cheat on each other?  Of course it's not real.  It's tv.  But it can 
still be entertaining... if it's not too stupid).  Temptation Island 
was the worst, I think.  Just the most horrible premise anyone could 
ever dream up.  Didn't watch a single episode of The Mole, watched 
half of "Boot Camp" last week, but was insulting everyone the whole 
time, and Big Brother was soooooooooooooo boring that we consider the 
few hours we spent watching it wasted forever.  And my husband and I 
don't watch that much tv, either.  I'd say we watch maybe 2 hours a 
day, if it weren't for the 2 hours I watch with Ginger in the morning 
(just for the record, it's _Caillou_, _Clifford, the Big Red Dog_,  
and _Sesame Street_ on PBS every morning, starting at 9:30.  Nap time 
is 11:30, and then the tv is off until about 7:56 Monday thru 
Thursday)

(that ps was WAY too long)
