3. "BIG BROTHER" |
Have to go with BMH and Baquar on this one. I would love to do survivor, but I don't know how I would do with all the actual physical surviving. I'm much better at the plotting and scheming. I would probably play a lot like Danielle, but try to be a lot more careful of what I said in the diary room (though I don't think she really said anything that offensive) The hidden alliance strategy with Jason was something I would have done, though I would probably take it a step further and make people think we didn't like each other too much. Unfortunately, I can't audition for any of them. It would be a major career hazard.

6. "Amazing Race" |
No question about it. I LOVE to travel. I am great at clues and directions. The only difficult part would be the lack of sleep and the running. I would apply to go on Amazing Race with my son, but I have a bad back and they surely wouldn't accept me.

I love to solve a mystery. And they have the best accommodations and meals. Plus you get to travel. And nobody can vote you out.

9. "The Mole" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-14-02 AT 10:52 PM (EST)What a shock... Jims picked The Mole!!! First of all, I REALLY get into mysteries (that's why I'm attracted to the show). Secondly, nice food, nice scenery... It's like a game show for dweebs! Edit: Plus, I can be the biggest JERK I want to be... As long as I know who the mole is! The only downer is that I think that executions are the most suspenseful thing on Reality TV. Jeff calling out the votes is scary throughout a few votes, but... One moment, he types your name into the computer. Moment after moment pass... RED!!! (way dramatic!) 1. The Mole 2. TAR 3. Survivor Big Brother would drive me INSANE... Quotes of the week 1. "You will NOT see my ta-ta's" -Shii Ann 2. "Do they think I'm too controlling?" -Helen (um, yeah) 3. "My two year old (had a tantrum) one time and I whupped its @$$ and put it back to bed." -Clay 4.

I would love to go on the amazing race. You get to go to all of these great places, and do all these great challenges. Plus I already know the perfect person to be my partner, and who knows you could win the big prize. LOL probably not.

16. "TAR, Definitely!!" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-15-02 AT 02:44 PM (EST)I have actual experience in getting lost in countries where I don't speak the language (yet I've managed to get to where I was trying to go in the end). I'm really good at telling a sob story, so I'm sure that I could get that ticket agent to get me on the over-booked flight. You can shower and eat, and even manage to grab some sleep along the way. What a cool way to get to some countries which my time and budget wouldn't normally allow. Another big plus is that you really aren't required to back-stab and lie to any great extent, and I don't think I would be good at it if I had to. The only drawback would be a partner, since my dear camera-shy hubby Mr. Bubbastan would never agree to be filmed and hates reality shows. Maybe Sir Erist or IAMHE would like to step in and help a fledgling daw girl out?? Survivor - I'm not going anywhere that doesn't have toilet paper, let alone flush toilets. I can't imagine not showering or brushing my teeth for 40 days. Ewwww. No blow dryer?? No way! I wouldn't say I'm high maintenance, but I am definitely not no maintenance. Mole - Maybe, but I'm not all that familiar with the game. Real World/Road Rules - Shall we just say that I'm a bit outside of the demographic for these shows? Edited because I forgot Big Brother - Probably not. A bit too claustrophobic for me. There is literally no where to hide, and I don't really think I could handle having a camera on me in every room of the house 24/7.

17. "Here, moley moley...." |
LAST EDITED ON 12-15-02 AT 09:41 PM (EST)No doubt here. The Mole. I've always (whether I deserve it or not) prided myself on my sleuthing skills. I've always been a mystery person: Hardy boys were my favourite when I was a kid. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is one of my all time favourites: which really was The Mole fifty years ahead of it's time. You don't have to go to the bathroom in the sand, people aren't watching you shower, and it's a vacation. And it seems just plain FUN!!! My only fear would be being the poor slob to go first when there's just not enough to go on. Or thinking I'm soooooo right only to come in fifth and feel like such an idiot. (Waves to Al, if he's still lurking-- mad props to my fellow Long Islander!) And if I ever were on the Mole, trust me, I'm not the mole. I can't lie to save my skin. (Runner up: The Amazing Race. I didn't earn the knickname "Bert McNally" in high school for nothing...) -sorry, this is a hamster, not a mole

20. "RE: Here, moley moley...." |
I had to jump in and mention that I loved And Then There Were None!!! It inspired me to read A LOT more by Agatha Christie:Murder on Orient Express, Death on the Nile, A Murder is Announced, ABC Murders, Murder is Easy, Hickory Dickory Dock, Sleeping Murder, The Boomerang Clue, The Big Four, Peril at End House, What Ms McGillicuddy Saw!, Curtain, At Bertram's Hotel, Ordeal By Innocence, Third Girl, The Clocks... There's probably a BUNCH more... But I love a good mystery! Quotes of the week 1. "You will NOT see my ta-ta's" -Shii Ann 2. "Do they think I'm too controlling?" -Helen (um, yeah) 3. "My two year old (had a tantrum) one time and I whupped its @$$ and put it back to bed." -Clay 4. "I'm putting in an order for a bigger butt in my next life." -Jan (randomly)

21. "Survivor" |
Okay this is tough. I only watch 3 Reality Shows--Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race. Oh I've seen maybe an episode of a few others, but these are the ones I watch religiously. So which one would I like to do most?Amazing Race? I think I would enjoy Amazing Race the most. However I am horrible with directions. Unless I had a great partner I would surely be out episode one. The plus size to TAR is obviously seeing so many exotic places. The downside is your in a freaking race and would have no time to enjoy yourself. I still think TAR might be number one if I had a great partner. Big Brother? The upside is you won't starve to death, you can shower everyday, and the challenges are not too difficult. The downside is that cameras are on you 24/7 and you are confined to a small area with 12 other people. Or is it 10? Anyway the confinement would drive me crazy. I don't see myself doing well on this show. Which leaves us to Survivor. The obvious downside is the living conditions. Food, water, climate, etc are crucial. Also some of the physical challenges are not easy. Plus this show probably has more backstabbing than any others. But I think I would do better on this show than the other two. Why? Number one I know people. I am very good at adapting to the people around me. I can be quiet or outspoken. I can be emotional or laid back. I am trustworthy. And I think I would allign with the right people. Physically I may be stronger than most of the women (hey I'm 5'10") so I doubt I would be an early boot candidate. Unless swimming is a major part of most challenges! As for the "Survival". Well I have been camping and backbacking. I could likely adapt to this part fairly easily. Plus the Survivor Winner gets 1 million! The downside to any of these shows is you risk making an a$$ of yourself on national TV. You risk having things in your past dredged up that you would rather remain buried. You risk having Bashers say mean things about you on Reality Show boards. I've actually contemplated applying for Survivor, but to be honest I don't think anything less than $1,000,000 would make it worthwhile for me.

25. "TAR" |
This is the only show I've contemplated applying for - I've downloaded the app twice, but my potential partner (not my wife) has had life circumstances that didn't make it practical. It would be a unique partnership, not yet seen on TAR so I think we'd have a small leg up on qualifying.TAR fits me best, though I probably lean toward liking Survivor better. I think I could survive whatever the living circumstances as I am highly adaptable. However, the opportunity to see the world with someone else that I like and trust would just tip the balance. I also am great with directions and finding my way around (though strangely I did find myself on a dead end on Saturday in Wisconsin on the way to my mother's memorial service - won't ever hear the end of that from my fam - but there were reasons!!). I only watch TAR, S and Mole - I'd like to try the Mole, but I think I'd probably do the worst on it. While I can adapt and survive I'm not the best at seeing through things, but I love a mystery. I'm a little too trusting. However, sittek would probably be great on Mole. She meets someone and tells me things about them and months later things happen that she told me about. Maybe I should have her apply to Mole! I should see if she'll watch it once. I'd love to be on Survivor - can't think of much in my background that could be exposed, except for those windows I shot out with my BB gun when I was 10. It'd be a great way to lose a few pounds, but the way I'd prefer the game to be played would be that those who had the most merit would survive, not the Brian or Clay. Hmmmm...does that sound like I'm complaining about Ted again?? Oh - another reason not to do Survivor - there's such isolation and I can't stand to be away from the fam for more than 2 days. At least on TAR there's one person I know and can feel good with - on Survivor, everyone is potentially the enemy - not a good way to spend 39 days. 2002 IceCat Originals, Inc. All rights reserved.

27. "Survivor" |
No other show is a great as Survivor and no other show gives you such great odds at winning a large sum of money. As we saw in TM2, that game is mostly based on guesswork and a grand total of one person knew who the Mole was (and only once they got down to 4-5 anyway!) I love the show but I'd rather not be praying that everyone else sucks more than me while having no real control over my fate.TAR could be kind of fun, but if I was to travel, I'd take a certain person and just slowly enjoy life. It's far too hectic and it also seems to involve a huge amount of luck. BB - ew. Next. Survivor is the ultimate show. It gives you time to live in an exotic environment, doing things you'd never do under normal circumstances and meeting people you'd never even give a second glance in "real life". Seriously - 20 year olds, how many seniors do you hang with on a regular basis? Survivor is the ultimate social experiment and one of those fabled "opportunity of a lifetime"s. Also, it seems like, next to BB, the easiest to win. If you're not a psycho like half of the pre-merge boots, you're pretty much guaranteed the merge and then you'll have a 1/10 (more or less depending on tribal numbers) shot at a million. Also, it's the king of the DAW shows - 20 million people tune in to hear you whine about your problems? Too bad I'm 19. And Canadian. ----------------------------------- Now let us never speak of S3 again.

28. "Survivor" |
Sorry, still my fav, but I also love TAR. I've tried to talk my spouse into doing TAR, but it ain't happenin'. (Besides, we'd just fight the whole time like Teri/Ian. Would make GREAT tv, but I don't think tv is the place to air your dirty laundry. btw, I think Flo is a beyotch and Zach deserves half a mill just for putting up w/her nonsense and bile shoot.)Survivor is the elimination game. It does have to do with survival, but it is also about politics. Rich figured that out faster than anyone else in S1, and he played to the hilt for a million. But he also brought fish to the camp, so he proved that he was living off the land and the sea in addition to playing w/people's minds. I think my spouse would have a hard time having me gone for 39 days (plus travel and survival training time). I'd do it for a million, though, and we'd find a way to cope for that short amount of time.
