Survivor redux

I was so underwhelmed by Survivor-Bulgaria that I couldn't even be bothered to write about it last night. I am happy by the fact that the show is far from the conceptual travesty that is Big Brother. And I am sure that regardless of how trashy things get (because, clearly, that is a possibility), it will be far less humiliating for the contestants than BB.

Mostly, I was surprised by the lack of dialogue between the contestants and the slow pacing of it all. But that's OK, I guess. I hope they all get sucked into it pretty fast and liven things up a little bit.

According to our company's financial director (who promptly voiced his take on the show at an improvised Survivor-inspired meeting in the office kitchen this morning, attended by yours truly and previously mentioned System Administrator) is that whoever's participated in any kind of outdoors team building activities, would be anything but impressed with the show.

With the risk of being accused AGAIN of being the eternal (foolish) optimist, I really hope he is wrong. I obviously need to feed my addiction to reality television SOMEHOW and would hate to find myself following Big Brother.

Life is hard, you see.
