tarotgalAll righty... I'll admit it. I'm a reality show addict. But not like a lot of people... I really enjoy them to see the people- they way they interact, learn about different kinds of people and such- I notice this kind of stuff as a writer. But really, I love Survivor and always have (yay Richard!)
Anyway, just got through watching my taped episode of the newest series tonight. Split men and women into two tribes. Interesting. I'm in a field (computing) where there aren't many women and the ones who exist are normal (like me) or very women-power-oriented (or maybe somewhere in the middle) So I wasn't surprised at some of the comments on either side. But the immunity challenge was interesting- both teams worked hard and mistakes are easy to make- I don't blame either team for winning/losing.
But as soon as it happened- MAN! It was just like Lord of the Flies in the men's tribe. YUMMY! Men humbled and hurt and the cockiness still lingering to a degree. I personally like the one, quiet question one man made as they walked back (paraphrased) "Do you think the women really caught fish?" heehee That's when I fell in love with it. I love watching men doing the buddy-buddy thing, but conflict is just as much fun and the bunch of guys was really, really interesting to watch. And how they STILL thought the women were hot even after the defeat. heehee And a few good, sensible heads in there, which is attractive to me. YUM. I didn't think I'd like the men vs. women thing but I'm totally digging watching all the men act like men together out there.
