Rants - Survivor: The Amazon
I’m curious if I’m the only one who thinks that the all female tribe on the latest version of Survivor is going to quickly devolve into a raging bitchfest. The claws are obviously coming out quickly around camp estrogen. And what exactly was the deal with the granola bar they found in the camp? I get the point of disposing of it. But the fact that none of them would pick it up and instead chose to move it around impaled on the tip of a machete was as bizarre as you can get on network TV. Hey ladies, it wasn’t a big mean spider, it was processed food. I doubt it was going to bite you. I’m not even going to bother to get into JoAnna (the wacky one who doesn’t like the immunity idol) going off on Christy (the deaf one) after Christy states the obvious – that JoAnna is a wackjob. OK, she didn’t put it in quite that way, but she should have.
And just so I don’t come off as being completely sexist here, the guys aren’t all that great either. Sure these bozos did manage to get a shelter up, but these arrogant clowns are still in desperate need of being knocked down a few pegs, even after getting their pathetic butts whipped by the women last week.
Oh yeah, and kudos to CBS for their promo of next week’s episode. That’s right kids; the women decide to get together in the river and get naked. Sure, they are washing, but who really cares if the purpose of the nudity is legitimate or not? And of course the network features prominent shots of ample breasts, with the good parts censored for TV. Note that it was just the hot ones who were getting the close-ups. It’s nice to see that someone at the network is finally acknowledging the fact that many of their contestants are selected based on looks rather than any real ability they might have to compete in this game. Or maybe they are just so thrilled that they still have Jenna and Heidi (the particularly attractive ones who I’m sure will be getting calls from Playboy any day now) in the game at this point and are going to capitalize off of their presence for as long as they can. Hmm, I wonder if a Survivor: Uncensored DVD might not be arriving soon at a video store near you.
