The reason Kara was targeted was because they were a player down. And why were they a player down? Because EVERY ONE OF THEM sucked in the first challenge. They knew the consequences for finishing last...and they STILL finished last. No robbery here...Jodi and Kara made their own beds on this one.

Pretty good analogy. Athough I DESPISE gum so if BB was "bubble gum" I wouldn't be watching it. For me I would say Filet Mignon vs. the "mystery meat" I used to get in my HS cafeteria every Wednesday.

Well naturally compared to the Olympic Games any Reality Show competition would be regarded as "Mickey Mouse." But several of the challenges do require physical skill and athleticism and Bogie, Janelle and Dan have historically held their own.

I don't. Man has always had a passion to watch competition. Bottomline: If they removed challenges and competitions from Reality Shows, every one of them would go off the air.
That being said I agree the Burglar quiz was silly; actually most of your Q&A contests are lame. I'm glad they're all not like that.
