Right, Survivor began to suck early on. TAR kept improving, imo, but threatens to go downhill fast with (probably) screaming kids this coming season. I may watch with the sound turned off, just for the travelogue aspects.
I watched TAR from the very beginning and would watch reruns happily if I had cable. I never cared who won, but thoroughly enjoyed the trips--even interior shots of airports turn me on. LOL.
Watch out, veto!
