I Hate Stupid People and This Show

And now for a word from Mr. Smoochiefrog.  Take it away dear....

Ok...so I've come to the realization that I try to avoid things that make me rant, so my own blog is woefully bare.  As such, Mrs. Frog has allowed me to be a guest on her blog.  That being said...here goes.

I sat downstairs with Mrs. Frog last night and watched Survivor, because if I were doing something else, I would have to quit or pause for Supernatural, and I figured I'd avoid that and spend time with her.  Ok, so the intention was noble....little was I to know that I'd leave the room snarling and growling.

Fans vs. Favorites...not a bad premise...I don't think any of the favorites are people I would neccesarily have picked as favorites from the various seasons, but who am I?  The idea of fans competing against their various "idols" from the show is kind of cool...

Of course as a routine I hate Survivor...mostly because it is kind of sad that this passes for entertainment.  If it were just the challenges, that would be more game show-ish, which I could enjoy...but to watch hungry, sleep-deprived people argue is somewhat lacking on the entertainment front.

From minute one, the favorites seemed to band together to eliminate the fans, kind of a "screw them, we were on here and didn't win before...one of us should win now"...sad, because I think that you were here before and didn't win...get over it and get off the show.

This has gone on until there are only 5 people left: 4 women and 1 man, 2 fans and 3 favorites.

So, these four...let's just call them "ladies"...as the appropriate word is not socially acceptable for Mrs. Frog's readers...one of whom is a fan, who has been somehow accepted by the favorites as one of their own...they have been eliminating the men over the last several weeks.

I was pulling for the last guy, because he's been watching the show since the beginning and he's only 21...I can get behind fan-dom...

So this boy has to know that he has the biggest target in history on his back...especially since he's made enemies...he's told every woman left the same thing on different occassions...ok...so he's lying, but hey...the object of the game isn't to make friends...it isn't to be honest...IT'S TO WIN $1 MILLION DOLLARS...ahem...pardon the yelling.  Unfortunately, he appears to care too much what people think...which is funny seeing how the people who have played the game and made enemies have more often than not, still won the money....because they played the game.

So, my boy wins immunity...yes...a "lady" is going home...one more step for a fan...but, wait...here's where things get interesting...a couple of the "ladies" come up with a plan...

Step 1 - Convince dude that we will vote for him, dependant on step 2
Step 2 - Convince dude to give away the immunity (HUHHH???)
Step 3 - Stab dude in the back at council and laugh

So I'm thinking to myself, "Self...this guy can't be that stupid...for the love of all things paisley...he's been watching this show for 7+ years."  No way he falls for this...but they keep working the angle..."You need to do something to make up for your lying to us", "I can't trust your word without this gesture".  He's starting to hedge a little...I'm thinking..."No...he's got to see through this."

Council time rolls around and here he is with his necklace...the "ladies" start back into him..."You're a liar.", "We can't trust you.", "You'll lose because nobody likes you"...ahem...refer back to the earlier statement about the object of the game...

I project myself into the game, "Uh, excuse me, you spastic @(#&*($.  I came here to win a million dollars and I'm going to win or lose on my own merit...not because you think I need to make up for something...have you all forgotten your behavior over the last several weeks....I've heard hookers lie less than you'll have.  I'll keep my necklace, thank you very much.  Goodby to one of you!"  --end projection

Is this what happens...NO!!!!....this yutz buys into this insanity, that somehow he's wronged them...this is Survivor, moron...a sharp poisoned dagger is nice to have in this game...you should know this...having watched it for 7+ years...this....this....ARGHHH!!!!...gives away the immunity and in a shorter span of time than separates 1st and 2nd at an Olympic sprint...he's out...

Afterwards, he's all confused and surprised..."I didn't think they were going to do me like that"...HELLO!?!?!...did you miss the last several weeks...were you sleeping through what I watched???  People this stupid would die due to natural selection if we stopped protecting them...

I had to wait until this afternoon, because every time I thought about it and what to say...I started snarling and growling and didn't want to say anything horrendously inappropriate or offensive...have a wonderful day and remember "Ignorance can be cured...stupidity is permanent."
