SURVIVOR the reality show

I usually reserve the comments on this blog for the subject of tobacco use and improving life without that use.  So permit me to go off on different tangent for this post.

 

Last night I watched the final show of this season’s SURVIVOR.    And to tell you truth I was more than pleasantly pleased with the out come.  I must admit that I have become somewhat cynical about reality shows in general because of their tendency to reward bad behavior.  They appear to actually encourage participants to lie, cheat, and steal their way to the grand prize.  The jury, which was made up of fellow contestants that had been “sent home” by various means of underhanded, deceitful, dishonest acts on the part of one of the finalist, did not award him the grand prize for his lack of honesty and integrity.  Instead it was awarded to a more deserving and less deceiving contestant.  While the show, in the past, has rewarded bad behavior it would appear that the last group of contestants that formed the jury had too much integrity to allow this to continue to happen.

 

While I am applauding the jury’s decision I do have to give the “devil his due”.  The villainous eventual loser did have a talent for “playing the game” and finding hidden “idols”.  But his constant boasting and overpowering ego was his undoing.  Even in the final part of the award ceremony he maintained that he was the Ultimate Survivor and attempted to buy the title from the winner.  I believe and hope that he really is an honest and decent man in his every day dealings with his fellow human beings and that he got ”caught up in the game” and played the “villain” to the utmost degree. 

 

One of the jurors declared that “perceived reality is not necessary reality” which is contrary to the usual statement “perceived reality is reality” and in this case was true.  Just because his antics got him to the position of a finalist they did not warrant or earn him the grand prize.

 

Last night’s jury vote gave me a glimmer of hope for the future and re-instilled in me a faith in my fellow man.  It is my hope that it just may have sent out a small message to all Americans.  Through our own real life votes we can make a difference and change the out come.

 

Thanks for allowing me to rant.  Maybe I didn’t sway too far from my purpose for this blog.  Remember, changes in our own life can be made by ourselves and for ourselves.

  27. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks

  34. Hi, I just read texts on your blog and I became interested in the topic. I like your site and I am thinking whether I could use your words in my work? Would it be possible? If yes, please contact with me.Thanks.

  35. Hi I found your site by mistake when i was searching bing for this issue, I must say your site is really helpful I also love the design, its amazing!. I don’t have the time at the moment to fully read your site but I have bookmarked it and also add your RSS feeds. I will be back in a day or two. thanks for a great site.

  37. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  39. Hello there! Fabulous weblog! I have been a ordinary visitor to your site (much like addict :P) to your website truthfully I had a problem. I’m so not absoluterly certain whether its the right site to question, but you’ve got no spam comments. I get comments such as lJkYpFwatch movies onlineJFgVROx on a regular basis. Can you help me? Cheers.

  41. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
