Survivor and the Real Housewives franchise are everything I love about reality TV genres. First, you have the Real Housewives which represents a show in which the stars do nothing but live fun lives that the viewers are suppose to envy. See also: Any Real Housewives show, The Hills, The City, Keeping up with the Kardashians, etc. However, something has changed with my OC friends. I no longer envy them. I have watched this show since season 1 when I downloaded each episode on iTunes. These gals would spend money on houses and clothes like it was nothing. And I loved every second of it. But this season has featured 1 broke housewife stressing over the bill for a $50 oil change, another housewife downsizing her house because they cannot afford their generic, tract home and still another housewife being served an eviction notice for not paying the $10,000 deposit on their rented house. First off, if you are RENTING a house, you don't belong on this type of reality tv. No exceptions. Second, if I was into watching people struggle financially, I would turn on the news. Thankfully, the season has at max 2 episodes left before the reunion (which is usually the only reason I watch a season) so I won't give up on these gals yet.
Survivor represents the other type of reality shows I love: competition without judges. See also: Amazing Race, Toddlers & Tiaras, Paris Hilton's My New BFF, etc. The contestants on these shows rely on their skills (survival, traveling, applying makeup to a 9 month old child, being skinny and tan...) which makes this type of reality the perfect ying to the Real Housewives-style reality yang.
As this season of Survivor: Heroes vs Villains is only 2 episodes in, here are my hopes for the season:
1. Russell wins the entire competition because he was ROBBED last season. The jury was a bunch of babies.
2. This little sho-mance between Jerri and Coach continues for the entire season.
3. Tyson goes home ASAP. I have never disliked a survivior more. And he's from Utah.
4. Let 3rd time be the charm for Amanda. She has played Survivor for more days than any other contestant...ever!

Very excited about this new blog. Very excited.
May I please request a break down of Lost from my fearless TV Stalkers? Because the season that is supposed to be answering all of my questions has not started answering any questions.
Russell was robbed he is the best player ever. Really, Amanda, I hate her although that is a great picture of her.
