SURVIVOR PING
A big ol FReeper thanks to YourAdHere for starting this thread. As always, if there are any FReepers who want to be added to or deleted from the Survivor Ping List, just send me a FReepMail.
Also, there are bound to be new FReepers out there since Survivor 4 ended last season, and I'll bet that at least one will ask the question "What does Survivor have to do with advancing the conservative cause." The answer to this question was best answered (IMHO) by FReeper Lee'sGhost with the following:
Survivor is microcosm of our society. I find it fascinating to see how the Gen-Xers deal with the boomers, the professionals with the blue collars, the libs vs the conservatives. The bug eating stuff is dumb but is really the smallest part of the show. It's seeing how a bunch of young people who won't do any work gang up on productive middle-agers and still lose that rocks my boat. Basically, you can see a little bit of almost every topic addressed on FR played out in some form or fashion during these shows. And just for the record, it's the lack of all these things that make all those other "reality" shows just plain dumb.
I couldn't say it any better, so, Lee'sGhost, Hope ya don't mine if I borrow yer words.
I'm working on a post giving the contestants bio's and my two cents worth on each. It should be done by next week.
Till then,
Enjoy,

I just checked out the bios, there are more boomers this time. Hopefully, the spoiled kids won't be able to gang-up on their elders this time.

From the looks of Brian, I'd say he wasn't in the hetero variety of porn.

I loved the luxury items...the bimbo who brought body paints and the 23 yr old bartender who took a skateboard? A skateboard? What the hell was he thinking?

Jed has a leg up having been to Thailand and Cambodia before. Erin's video made me think she's pretty loose, and yeah, the car salesman can't be long for this game.
I was really disappointed that Vecepia won the last round, but will probably watch this one too.

Thanks for the plug. I'm primed and ready -- it's SURVIVIN' TIME!
oldvike: I think you nailed Brian. Wait, that doesn't sound right. I think Brian's story is a bit queer. Yeah, that's it.

I realise I'll be rooting for Tonya to get voted off first, just 'cause the earlier, the better to figure out what'll happen.
