I've been off again for the last couple of days still trying to get my email to organize itself. I'm not a total Survivor nut but, find myself entranced with the show (haven't seen the people when they show up on the other shows). Tried watching our American version of Big Brother but, find the people too whiny with nothing to do. At least in Survivor we get to see them compete... Perhaps it's just we sometimes like to live vicariously but, through other people?
