OMG, that is hilarious. At least you both watch the
show. My husband goes downstairs to play on his
computer when it comes on. My daughter and I (she's
17) both love Elisabeth and Rodger, too. Wasn't your
heart just in your mouth at the thought of him getting
voted off?

Come on, obviously none of them were ever Boy or Girl
Scouts, or they would have known better. I mean, I was
a Girl Guide and I knew right off it was a dumb place
to set up camp.

Actually, I watched and liked the Mole. Kinda got into
the whole ' figure out who it is thing' with Nyssa (my
daughter). She was right into Big Brother last summer,
and had me roped into watching some of it with her.
Mind you, she only watched it once or twice a week,
just enough to keep up on the 'hot guys' - okay, she's
a teenager! Boot Camp, Temptation Island, no thanks. I
watched one episode of each to see what all the talk
was about. That was it.
