Survivor Finale

Blah. Disappointing. Actually, the last several weeks were kind of lame to watch.

To all future Survivor contestants: Even though you think this show is about winning a million dollars, it's not. It's about making good TV.

If you've been chosen for Survivor, you probably want to give up your old career and be a reality television star. Look at Boston Rob or others who've made "Good TV" on Survivor. They're still finding their way onto television screens, stretching out their fifteen minutes of fame beyond their Survivor experience.

If you ever make it on the show, keep this in mind. Alliances are boring until somebody flips. Giving somebody your "word" is only entertaining if you then go back on your word and stab them in the back. I'm not talking about real life; I'm talking about a television show.

Winning a million dollars should be your second priority; making a good TV show should be your first. Nobody ever remembers the winners as much as they remember those who strived to make memorable reality tv moments.

I'll watch the next season, no doubt, but I won't be happy about it unless somebody entertains me.
