Survivor: Caramoan...Good Riddance To Dead Weight


Things I learned while watching Survivor this week...


Games that require physical strength and stamina and the ability to play nicely with others are typically won by ugly people because, according to Pretty People logic, the outwardly attractive are the real threats and, therefore, the first to be targeted and eliminated. Arrogance and aloofness have nothing to do with it. Nor does the inability to count past four.


The terminally lazy and obnoxious can contribute nothing and still demand to be served on command. And idiots will succumb to the tyranny of a self-styled king as they beg him not to abandon them.


Quitters are drama queens. Desperate to extricate themselves from self-created situations that they no longer find desirable, they will grasp any excuse available to them and attempt to hide their relief with expressions of exaggerated disappointment that would put a teenage girl worthy of her reputation to shame. Quitters with an idiot following also tend to engage in mutual love fests with said idiots that are as nauseating as they are phony.


Proficiency in the doggy paddle and the backstroke does not make one a qualified competitor or a valued asset to any team during challenges that require one to do any amount of swimming. Apparently, the inability to open a padlock without shaking with exhaustion doesn't either. Or was she too pretty to be allowed to stay?


A fool and his immunity idol are soon parted.


There is no shortage of stupid nicknames to bestow on others when the unmedicated aren't given enough to keep them busy. But, apparently, crazy can be calmed by repetitive throwing and channeled into targeting with deadly accuracy.

And most aggravating of all...The consumption of Black Russians does not make these people seem any less irritating, or make their craziness at all charming or entertaining.

Any suggestions would be considered helpful and greatly appreciated.

    This season is dreadful and you are wasting time that would be better spent finishing your book.
