Remember that great show, Survivor?

Yes, I'm still watching; no, I can't quite explain why.

Habit?

Hope?

An occasional great moment?

Is that enough explanation?

I don't hate it by a long shot, I just quit looking forward to it since the ghastly All Stars debacle, found I was compelled to watch The Apprentice before it as soon as that show got started, now it's often Saturday or even Sunday before I get to it.

And feel the itch to hit the FF through much of it. I haven't yet, but I'm wanting to.

It doesn't help they seem to have purposely cast this as The Dumbass Season. They've always included dummies in the casts, but this season they've packed the jungle with them. Not so much the women, but man after man after man.

The two baboons bouncing their chests off each other like a couple of apes from a Diane Fosse documentary this week was the ultimate nadir. Not that it didn't make for a great laugh, but it was one of the few bright moments these morons have provided. The rest of the season, we're stuck with them acting just as stoopid, but without the unintentional comedy.

(Intentional by the editors of course, just not the actors.)

This show was getting dull enough already.

Hey, where's the great TV? Seems in such shrinking supply lately.

Hmmmm. Maybe anyone guilty of following a brilliant with a but deserves it.
