I have been watching the survivor show for about ten years now, and I read a lot of things about it, and enjoy discussing it at cocktail parties and so forth. I don't like to brag, but I do think of myself as one of the more educated survivor show watchers. So while those of you with high school or junior college educations watch the survivor show on one level, I watch it with the benefit of an education and an above average IQ.

Those of us with college educations watch the survivor show and other shows are read between the lines. For example, many of you have probably not considered the fact that this edition of the survivor show is being filmed just a few short weeks before a major election in America. ( For those of you in Canada or other countries, America is a democracy and we vote for our leaders ever 4 years. In November, there will be an election for President and for congress, which is our legislature.)

It would naive of us to believe that the producer of the show, Jeff Probe, didn't take the elections into account when casting the show. Now, I'm not sure if Jeff Probe is a republican or a democrat, but I am speculating that he might be a republican, because I think he's trying to increase support for president bush (the American leader, for foreigners) and to keep like voters for democrats from voting against him.

For example, is it a mere "coincidence" that they have 5 black survivor show contestants on for the first time, right before the election? Everyone knows that all self-respecting black people are democrats. I think it's likely that Jeff Probe remembered how close the last presidential election was, and realized that if he can take 5 black votes away from Bush's opponent. It may not sound like much, but every vote makes a difference in America!

Second, I think that Jeff Probe's decision to have on 5 asian people is designed to help out president bush because of all the problem he is having with korea. I think he hopes that if he shows asians to be really sneaky and conniving, the way they have been on the show so far, it will make us even more against that guy in korea who is also asian. Once again, has there ever been 5 asians on the show at one time before? Not since the second (or maybe third) season.

Third, I think that having on 5 mexicans is pandering, pure and simple. In America, President Bush is in favor of mexicans, and i think that giving mexicans role models on prime time tv is intended to make feel more american. Plus, i think that the fact that they casted mostly white looking mexicans was intended to make regular americans less put off by the millions of illegal Mexicans now living in America.

Finally, its impossible to know the political leanings of the whites on the show, because they don’t seem to be as loyal to their race and since both presidential candidate are white. However, I think that the whites have like republicans. Remember how that one white man stole that chicken from the black man? And how they keep using the other races to win the challenges, but then they decide who gets voted off? But mostly that would just be speculating.

Anyhow, that’s pretty much my political analysis of the survivor show this time. Those of you who are confused by this because you don’t have enough education, I’m sorry. I hope that this is the sort of thing that will encourage you to move on in your studies. Education is the key to learning.

Well, I just finished watching last week's survivor show for the third time on my vcr. Now, as some of you know, the survivor show started out this season with racially separated teams: whites, blacks, mexicans and chinese. Oh sure, there were lots of jokes about which race is best, etc, etc. But as a social experiment, I think we can all agree that it was a smashing success. All of the teams bonded much more quickly than ever before because of their shared racial identity. While the teams don't normally have a close bond until the 6th or 7th week of the season, this time is was like that show Band of Brothers after just a few episodes. Why? Because birds of a feather flock together.

Well, guess what happened this week?

(Spoiler alert!!!)

Jeff Probe forced the teams to integrate, just like America did in the 1980s. What ever happened to "separate, but equal?" Is the whole world so PC (politically correct) that we have to integrate everything? And I think we can all agree that integration was terrible for America. Did you know, for example, that the SAT scores for both black and white schools went down when they integrated schools back in the late eighties? Why? Because different race groups learn differently. For example, I can think of many movies about how black students learn the best when a caring white teacher uses hip-hop culture to develop a rapport with his/her students. And did you know that rap music is really a lot like Shakespear?

But could you imagine trying to teach Chinese students how to do poetry by listening to Tupac Shakkur? Talk about comedy value! It would have to be a rap song with no R's! No, everyone knows that asian students learn best in very regimented environments, where the academics are mixed with a harsh, physical regiman, and a diet made up mostly of steamed rice.

So, we could do like they do in Canada and celebrate our differences. But noooo, all those bleeding hearts in congress just had to go out and segregate the races just to win votes to get back in.

Well, I predict this. Integration will fail on the Survivor show just like in America. People just aren't made that way. Think about this, how many chinese people have you ever had over to your house for dinner? (I am talking to people who aren't chinese. IF you are chinese, substitute "mexican" for chinese.) I am betting none. I am not criticizing, mind you. I am just pointing out that when given the chance, people are more comfortable with their own race. It's like that cowboy man (the one with the beard) on the survivor show was telling all those jokes about chinese people, but I told my husband, I wouldn't know the first asian ethnic joke to tell if I did have some asian people over for dinner, or a light snack. Talk about awkward!

So way to go, survivor show. You have managed to be just another PC group, just like the methodists. I hope that you're really happy with yourself.

I haven't posted on this forum for a while now. I have been very busy with my Longaberger basket business. But, I must say that the gimmick on this new survivor show has gotten my attention, just like it has everyone else. (For a while, I was pretty much caught up with that story about that John Car that killed that little girl. I wanted to know everything I could about such an interesting person. Then I found out that he was possibly gay, so I am intentionally ignoring that story. The lengths that these homersexuals will go to for publicity is shocking! I won't be a part of it!)

Anyhow, in case you haven't heard, the Survivor show this time is going to be divided up into teams based on race. Now, some of you might recall that I suggested that very thing back when they did the men versus women. And, I for one, think it's time that reality television settle once and for all the age old question of which race is the best. But, as usual, Jeff Probe is one step ahead of me. He isn't just establishing an epic battle between two races, he is going to enable us to rank the races, 1 through 4! There is a lot at stake here, too. If my race comes in 4th place (doesn't even show!), I will be way to embarrassed to show myself around my friends from superior races for a very long time.

My husband says that the survivor show isn't really a very scientific way of showing which race is the best, though. He says that, even if a reality television show could be used to draw broad conclusions about the relative merits of racial subgroups, the sample size of 4 is simply not enough to be scientifically significant. But, as I pointed out to him, the Olympics have been used for that very purpose for years! Remember how mad Hitler got when that one black man won all the olympics that time back during world war two? After that, Hitler didn't really mess with the black people at all.

But the olympics is not entirely accurate either because it doesn't set up the competition by race, it does it by country. I like it when America wins something, but like lots of people, sometimes I think, "yes, but would a white man have outrun that Nigerian?"

That said, I do have a few gripes about the setup. First, the teams are made up of whites, blacks, mexicans and asians. But did anyone else notice that the whites are not of pure Aryan stock? Please note that this is not a big issue for me, but don't you think that if one of the other races wins, the whites will have an easy out? "Yeah, but they weren't Aryans" they'll say. Since they have gone to all this trouble, couldn't Channel 4 find a few blonde haired, blue eyed supermen to throw in the mix?

Ultimately though, I hope that the survivor show is sucessful in starting a new civil rights movement. Many people don't realize that the 1960s civil rights movement started when a young black man named Martin Luther King Jr. went on a game show called 21. He was a very sucessful contestant, but the network didn't like his demographics, so they brought a young, WASP college professor on the show and gave him all the answers. When the public found out, it was outraged! Next thing you know, black people got the right to attend white schools and so forth.

Much like the 21 show, the survivor show may not have the purest of motives, but maybe, just maybe, it too can bring about civil rights.

Is anyone else sick and tired of the "smirky" racism on the survivor show? I just finished watching last night's episode for the third time and I realized that there is an african-American person on the show that they call "Bobby." That's right, "Bobby" as if he is four years old. We all know that it's cute to call young boys by names that end in -ie or -y. For example, Samuels are usually called Sammy and Williams are usually called Billy. Until they become young men, that is! Did they call President Clinton billy? No, because he was a man of dignity and respect. Some people called him Bill, some William, but no one called him Billy.

Why is it that the black man is called Bobby? If there was a white man on the survivor show, no one would call him Bobby. They would call him Robert, or perhaps Robby. But the black man, they treat him like he's a four year old child still being potty trained. (In fact, one of the only two times I have ever seen him on the show he was using the bathroom. I think that someone even said that Bobby was doing a doody.")

Also, the only other time they have shown him on that show was during that one challenge where they were fighting over the bag of money that was buried in the sand. And what was "Bobby" doing in that challenge, chasing after that Mary Jane that got voted off. Hmmm, a black man chasing after a white woman, apparently running for her life? For shame, Jeff Probe, for shame. Thanks for promoting the stereotype that all black men are interesting in is soft toilet paper and white women.

Well i just finished watching the survivor show from last night for the third time and i have to say, i am hopping mad. Did you see what those lesbeens did with the chicken? I'm talking, of course, about how they ate all the chicken on them and gave the men the used up bones. That made my blood boil, and made me feel really good about voting against lesbeen marriages last week.

You gay and lesbeens try so hard to make normal people think you are just like the rest of us. It used to be that you could tell who the gays were because they wore pink and/or leather bondage outfits. Now they dress just like hipper versions of normal people. Also, lesbeens used to identify themselves with those butchy haircuts and osh kosh overalls. Now they wear bikinis and work in coffeeshops.

Also, it was looking like lesbeens might be voting like normal people too. My husband says that gay women are pretty much the reason that the republicans won the election, because they voted nearly unanimously for the president. He said that it turns out that lesbeens love bush.

So, I will admit that i was starting to get used to them being around us. (I even ate at that arby's where they all work last week, though i watched them fix my sandwich very carefully) But, just when you start to seem normal, you go out and start acting gayish and holier than thou again.

It wasn't just the chicken bones. It was the way that you put all the body paint on and so forth, and got that letter from your "partners." Believe me, you didn't fool anyone, Scout, we all know what you mean by "partner." (She means her lesbeen lover). I also don't like the way you and lisa are trying to convert that julie. Also, i think that you are treating the men very unfairly. Now, i usually pull for the women on the survivor show, but i want it to be fair. nothing about the way that you do is fair.

So, Amy, I hope that chicken wing was good. Savor it; that chicken wing cost you a lifetime committment to your soulmate.

Well, it has been in the news a lot lately, and I wasn't going to say anything, because i try not to be judgemental. But has anyone else seen those photos from that prison in iraq? I have, and I have to say that I am absolutely horrified about them. Who would have ever suspected that there are that many homersexual iraqis?

I would expect that kind of debauchery in a turkish prison, of course. But I always thought the iraqis were sort of puritanical, and not the type of people that would be into nude male pilemaking and so forth.

I guess thats why some countries just aren't ready for freedom: they mistake freedom for a moral vacuum. I for one am very thankful that there were guards on hand to make sure that homersexual prison party didn't get too out of hand.

2004-05-10T08:20:00.000-07:00

Did anyone else see the survivor show last night? It was the final, so i sat down to watch it. I must admit that I was somewhat frosty eyed when that robb asked Amber to marry him and she said YES. (I was glad that Amber finally gave up her goody-two-shoes persona to become a rock-n-roll babe, just like on that show Grease.) I hope they are very happy.

It did settle the question in everyone's minds, too, about whether or not Robb was just playing amber as a way to win the million dollars. How terrible would it be to fall for someone, just to find out he was just using you as a pawn to win the survivor show.

Well, I am happy for amber, but I do have some concerns for myself. What if my husband is playing me for the one million dollars. It may come as no surprise to you that i have applied for every survivor show, and that i also send in an application for my husband. Although my husband treats me very nicely, what if he is just doing it hoping we are both picked for the survivor show? Maybe he is just using me as a reliable stooge, and I just think we have an alliance. Would he stab me in the back? I would be devasted if he chose someone else to go the final two with him. (I have no doubt that he would get to the end, because he was in the boy scouts for two years and went camping a lot.) I think it is unlikely that he is doing it, but then again, you never know in the wild world of teh survivor show.

Well, my husband and I were watching television last night. I wanted to watch that movie on the sci fi channel about the black man that coaches those jewish boys to the new york basketball championship, but my it was my husbands turn to choose the show. Do you know what he chose? That show called Swan Women on channel 12.

Well, let me just say this. If you have not seen that show and you want to watch, just don't do while you eat. They start out with these undesirable women who are overweight, or maybe they have acne. Because they are so unattractive, they have no friends or life, though somehow they are able to procreate, since most of them have children. Anyway, the show takes these normal, everyday women, and after months of surgery, fitness programs and counseling, turns them into porn stars! Then, at the end, they look into a giant mirror to admire the new porn star look. Did you know one of the women got DD breasts? I for one am glad the reality television has finally gotten a soul and is helping people, instead of just using their physical, emotional and psychological deficits to entertain us.

You know who i think should get to go on that Swan Woman show? Mary Jane Olston. Have you noticed how much heavier she is than her sister Ashley? It is such a shame that she has let herself go so much; she was so cute as a child on that show with that guy on it. I guess it must be tough for her being second banana to her sister, though, so i guess it is understandable.

2004-04-23T18:38:00.000-07:00

Well, far be it from me to inject race into any discussion, but did anyone else notice that 75% of people voted off reality shows this week were black? (For those of you that did not know, that alisa girl that was voted off the survivor show last night is 50% black, and that girl (i can't remember her name) that got voted off the american superstar show was 100% black.) Statistically, what are the chances of that?

Now, I am not alleging a major conspiracy or anything. However, my husband thinks that maybe the higher powers in our society are trying to covertly maintain the white status quo. They now realize that professional basketball is a lost cause, so instead they are trying to dominate reality television.

I think it is now to late for any minority to win the survivor show this time, so it's time to focus our collective rage and effort on the American Superstar show. I now encourage all of you to vote only for the black contestants on the american superstar show from now on. (Except please do not vote that that queenie acting guy.)

Also, John Cary should be president because he cares about poor people.

2004-04-11T16:03:00.000-07:00

I have not written for a while because I have been watching all the things on television about that 9/11 thing. Did you see that Lisa Wright that they were talking to at that meeting? She is president bush's most important advisor, and, predictably, she took his side. Apparently they were most interested in a memo that may have discussed 9/11 before 9/11. Lisa said she didn't think it would matter.

When is everyone going to address the real issues here? Why did president bush not do something about the terrorist attack when everyone knew about it? Why didn't he and lisa wright talk about Nostradamus, who has been around for almost 1000 years? Does this ring a bell, anybody?

English

Near1 the death4 of the Pillar3 of a palace2,

An Indian people5, take away6 the 27, a petite royal8,

Way of9 a saint10, a deliverer11 of the mud, a French Saints order12,

a dwarf nun13, deformed14, a traveler15, worm of the fruit16 (Jesus)

Now, tell me why president bush and lisa wright didn't do anything to stop the terrible things that happened on 9/11 when it was all foretold about 1000 years ago? Could it have been for some kind of political gain?

I also want to know why none of the people on that committee even bothered to ask her about that nostradamus prophecy. (I noticed that one of the men on the committee was working on the Daily Jumble in the newspaper while she was answering questions, so maybe he just wasn't paying attention.)

Look, is there a coverup? Well, guess what, Nostradamus predicted that as well:
Quatrain 10 Verse 72

English

The year 19 hundred 99, the seventh month,

From the sky will come one born a Grand Royal, trembling in fear

At the wheel and the cause is the Grand Royal, an American Prince,

In the days before and after Prophecy (Hermes) shall reign with good fortune

Chilling, isn't it?

hello. My husband told me about this blogger thing that i like an online diary. I think that this is a great idea, and one that my finally make the internet something that normal people use, not just eggheaded scientists.
