PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

Then watch your NBC Affiliate Saturday Mornings a 11:30am. This ENDURANCE show is pitiful. Three years ago I was watching the news and I left my TV on. I came back and saw the premiere of this reality show for Kids called Endurance. (Hosted by J.D. Roth) The kids are the WORST strategists in Reality TV History, and always manage to make the dumb choices for the game. Elimination is a rip off of Rock, Paper, Scissors. I watch every Saturday just to see how pitiful the show is. I Dare you to watch it.

3. "But..." |
LAST EDITED ON 11-15-04 AT 11:35 AM (EST)...the kids are so honest, it's almost painful. One spring morning, I was in a Sears repair shop with an entire line of people having lawnmower repairs. There was one little TV in the place playing the show. Four couples were left. One team (red) won the challenge, which meant that they got to nominate the two other teams who compete for the boot. On the yellow team was a very pretty blonde, who apparently had been flirting shamelessly with the boy on the red team. However, in true kid fashion, she'd told the other girls that her flirting was purely strategic and that she had no interest in the kid. Naturally, the girl on the red team wanted to nominate her team as one of the final two. Even the boy on the yellow team couldn't stand her behavior any longer. But she turned up the flirting a notch with the red team boy since her team's survival was on the line. I honestly thought she might offer to sleep with him -- she did just about everything short of that. The ENTIRE room was staring at this little 12" set to see what happened. When it came time for the red team to announce their choices, the boy made the announcement. Blue team and ... yellow team. The girl shot him a look of pure malice. Everyone else cheered. And, frankly, just about everyone in Sears let out a sigh of relief. It was simply fascinating to see how much a simple display of honesty (we saw a clip of the girl admitting to another girl that she had no feelings for the boy at all) turned the show into "must-see TV" for all of these people at Sears who would never have watched the show without being in a captive position. I've never seen Endurance again. I have no idea if the kids' cluelessness about strategy has led to any more scenes of disconcerting (but absorbing) honesty. But I haven't forgotten seeing it in a roomful of (generally) men who curled the waiting line in such a manner that everyone in line could see the TV.
