I am a Survivor

Survivor, the CBS reality TV show where folks starve themselves in an attempt for a million dollars, is my secret desire. For years, I’ve wanted a chance to out wit, out last, out play money hungry strangers in harsh living conditions. Because it would be fun!

Survivor couldn’t be much different than what I do now here in rural New Jersey. Every day as a home schooling mom it’s survival. Getting the kids to do a math lesson without complaint, climbing the laundry mountain, cooking dinner that picky eaters will consume and still keeping the grown ups content.

Wow. I’m really fond of the letter C tonight.

I’d take the cash (of course!) if I won, but I’m more interested in bragging rights. How cool would it be for this almost-40 mom to take on the wilderness and scheming of the other players? It’s the ultimate camping adventure.

Do you like reality TV?

  1. i love survivor, i have always loved it. i actually get stressed watching the challenges. i too wish i could go on and challenge myself, i think i would have tried if i never found hubby…would have been the perfect thing to distract me from not having a family etc. but now with 2 young kids,my dreams of doing it are over, don’t think i could leave my little ladies for it.

    i do love reality…biggest loser

  2. I used to be into reality TV, but after “Joe Millionaire”, I just felt … bad. Like I was encouraging people toward degrading and dishonest behavior just so I could be entertained with their folly. So, no, I don’t like it anymore. Stangely, I do enjoy mockumentaries — like The Office, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Best in Show, etc. Doesn’t make much sense, does it?
