Survivor

How many of you are Survivor Fans? I confess, I am. I have watched every show since the beginning episode. It isn't because it is the most entertaining show. Nor is it because I am endeared to the contestants. No, it goes much deeper than that. I have a secret desire to be a contestant on Survivor.

Honestly, I really do want to be a survivor. Think of the adventure of it all. I realize there would be no morning coffee, no soft pillow to lay my head upon at night. And yes, I know my age. It would be difficult at best to keep up with the 20 something year olds. But still, I want to be a survivor contestant.

You'd think I would have already applied. I haven't. I keep waiting for just the right inspiration. I need an incredibly creative and perfect idea for a personal video to send in to the show. I haven't been inspired enough yet.

My family thinks I'm crazy. But I figure if I can survive having 5 kids, raising gerbils, lizards, hamsters, frogs, a snake, cats, dogs, caught the resident mice, had giant cockroaches run across the floor, endured...well, you get the idea. Don't I have some bit of experience to bring to a game of Survivor??? (Or maybe I'm just trying to escape it all, and it sounds like a lovely break from the mundane?)

The funny thing is, I think I know where my spirit of adventure comes from. My mom and various family members-including my son, applied to be contestants on the Amazing Race. And I don't even watch that one.

We watch Survivor. I didn't watch the very first season except for the finale, and I didn't like it. I don't know why, but I started watching it the 2nd season. The kids watch it, too. I KNOW there is no way I could do it, but it's fun to watch. If you made it, I'd definitely be cheering for you. The real question though is what would you do with the million $ when you won, Joanne? :)

We have not tv reception so survivor does not make it to our home. I have watched it in the past. I have decided I would be a poor choice for the show. I hate bugs, mice, snakes and other creepy critters.

I would also cry too much and I would get sick and tired of the games and back stabbing. I would tell everyone to grow up and behave!!! Do you think they would want me knowing that?! ;)

I am pretty sure if you tell them about the cockroaches they will let you on! *TeeHee*

So when you make this video interview thingy - please post it here!
Of course you'd be able to survive! Sometimes I think I'd like to try it but no family, friends, internet, sleep.... OK. I like my life as it is now and I'll find my own little adventures that are a tad more comfy!

I did once really want to be on Survivor, but let that go in favor of doing TAR with the husband ;)

I want to be on Survivor too!!! I love the show and I don't mind to "rough" it at all. I have many a time. I'd LOVE to see how I interact with other people in a show like that. To see myself from "outside" when I look at the footage. To see how I'd cope in a situation like that. I'd love to
