It started a few months ago here in Australia, and it's hosted by 
Cornelia Frances, a lady who used to act on Home and Away. Hmmm. (For 
the record, H&A is a really awful Australian soap opera)

Personally I find that the Weakest Link is getting old fast. The 
smart people get voted out first so that dumb people don't have any 
competition, the host is nasty and scathing, and some dumb person 
wins because they're marginally more clever than the other person in 
the final two. This is what usually happens, anyway <g>

Meanwhile we get Eddie McGuire, who is so smug it annoys me. And 
don't you just *hate* the contestants who ummm and ahhh for about 
half an hour over a question? And I really hate the ones who go 'I 
think I'll risk a quarter of a million dollars on an answer I'm not 
sure of'. That really irks me.

There will apparently be a third AND fourth season of Survivor... 
yay! Apparently the next one might be set in the Amazon. Personally I 
don't think you can get a better locale than Australia (and that 
isn't a biased opinion at all ;))

It'd probably be too late to start watching the current season of 
Survivor... oh well, there's always the planned third and fourth 
seasons! I had an endorphin rush when I heard about that ;)
