Yes ladies and gentlemen, its time once again to delve into the seamy world of media whoredom.

Mark Burnett Productions has once again scoured the vast state of California
to bring us the best of the best of Survivor contestants.
Of the 19 players, no less that 10 are from California!
And of those 10, eight are from the greater Los Angeles area!

Additionally, he has once again attempted to prove his “diversity” by casting
5 African-Americans,
5 Hispanic-Americans,
5 Asian-Americans and
5 er 4 Caucasian-Americans.
(Note: In all fairness, he did have 5 Caucasians, but one female chickened out and quite the night before filming started.
Which is why there are only 19 players this season.
Not only that, for those keeping score, she was from Los Angeles also!)

Now for a quick trivia question: Look closely at the cast photo above and tell me what makes this cast different from all the other casts.
(And no, it’s not that there are 19 players this season.)

I’ll be back next week with the player’s bios, my pre-season picks and the answer to the trivia question.
So till then, Take Care,

FReepmail me if you want added to (or removed from) the Survivor Ping List.

One would think that Mark would have a couple extras waiting in the wings. I don't see much of a difference in this season's contestants than in previous other than the amount of immigrants - the old, the immigrant, the wacko, the well endowed, the immigrant, the single parent, the bumble head, the nerd, the jock, the immigrant, the gay, the vet, the immigrant, and still not a single one knows how to start a fire.

In all seriousness, what a fugly cast.

I heard Jim Rome's take on "Reality TV" during his best of program at the end of the year. Rome gave a pretty fair assessment IMO. He stated it is neither reality (it's all scripted) nor entertaining (his opinion that I share).

I laughed when Rome described Reality TV losers in trendy Hollywood restaurants: "Let's get this straight, they're losers and they are acting as if they were A-list movers and shakers--complete with the ego and entourage. Again, they're losers in a totally scripted game show, acting like A-list."

Why in the world would someone make it that far and then chicken out before things even got started? She could have just done poorly (on purpose), had her 15 minutes of fame and been kicked off the island. What an idiot.

Why does anyone watch THIS CRAP and any of the other reality shows? I watched the first season of Survivor and after the butch chick's little tantrum and the naked gay guy winning, I didn't watch another season.

Watched the second season of "The Bachelor" and was disgusted by the catty females.

I refuse to watch "Mr. Comb-over's" show. He is such a p---k!
