a guilty pleasure of mine is "reality" shows...tonite was the 2nd episode of the new season of survivor: the amazon and i must say, it's different from previous seasons...

the whole girls vs. boys thing is an interesting twist, but i was worried in the first episode - these chicks are STUPID...as far as survival skills go, at least...let's take the drinking water and use it to wash our underwear - er, excuse me? if clean laundry is that important to ya, perhaps the amazon isn't where you should be...and their whole laziness thing and refusal to get a shelter built - ugh, when they got pissed at christy for suggesting they get to work on it, i couldn't believe it...

christy - she's the shit - and it REALLY pisses me off that she gets treated like crap because she's the "disabled" one...tonight's reward challenge involved all the tribe members being blindfolded except for one that was the guide, telling everyone where to find pieces to a puzzle - the girls tribe had one more member than the boys, so automatically they made christy sit out...that was just flat-out WRONG, in my oh so humble opinion...yeah, blindfolding her was obviously not a good idea, but was there any reason whatsoever that she couldn't have been the guide, telling everyone where to go? don't think so. i think some of her tribemates just find it easy to write her off and ignore because she's deaf...when in fact THEY are the ones that are disabled...oh, and when joanna went off on christy, ooh, that just irked me...joanna gets my vote for next one outta the jungle - i'm all for the strong black woman character they seem to think is mandatory (like ghandia last year) - but joanna's just a flat-out bitch!

i'm rooting for christy all the way - KICK SOME ASS girl!
