You are not the only one puzzled. I have never watched it. I never watched Survivor.
I used to listen a lot to the Glenn Beck show but can't stand much of it any more. If he isn't talking about himself, he's talking about some useless celebrity crap like American Idol.
Or 24.
I admit I have never watched an episode, but (based on my impression it) it seems to be more wholesome than some of the other crap they put out these days.
Maybe, just maybe, these shows are like car accidents? Lots of people slow down (or in this case sit down) and rubberneck?
Personally, I can't be bothered to watch them when there is so much more to do and experience while not sitting in front of the "boob tube".
;D
I don't watch this crappy show because I reject the premise that some amateur singer should/will be addored. The whole concept stinks. Just my opinion...
I never watched it either. Tuesday is my poker night, and Wednesday I spend at church choir practice. My wife watches it though, because we've got a local guy in there (Elliot Yamin). She's also aquired a sudden interest in baseball. We're going to a game tonight because Elliot is singing and throwing out the first pitch.
