. . . except that three weeks in LC time equalled about fourteen YEARS in actual human misery!

I tried to reply to this thread last night, but couldn't articulate what anger and disgust I was feeling. . . Honestly, shakes--WHY did you work so hard to promote this mess?!! Everything about it was horrible--the people, the photography, the editing, the "challenges," even the goddamned prize sucked, given what they had to go through to get it! (And--ahem. . . NO actual cruise? WTF?) You promised that it was so far above what the Survivor whores had done--this was supposed to involve class and beautiful people and worthwhile. . . EVERYTHING. Sorry, Clown--it failed on all counts.

Even Mikey came out smelling less like a rose and more like that Christmas tree Charlie Brown took home (BEFORE they camouflaged it)--totally pathetic and not worth a second look. I have felt sorry for him before, but now I can't describe how I feel--it goes far beyond pity. . . This was actually something he was PROUD of!

If not for shakes, I would never have paused to watch the first episode--and now I feel the same kind of anger I have when I sit through a movie that's been touted as "the greatest thing ever"--after squirming in my seat for the duration, expecting that they'll pull SOMETHING out of their ass at the last minute to make it all come together and be worthwhile, they completely miss the boat. I HAVE wasted seven hours of my life!

And the damned bananas SHOULD have won!!!!

ACK!
