    Just think that it could be worse. You could have Chris Berman on the show.

    I'll watch because I like the show, but I'm not a fan of this casting move.
    I'm hoping he's out early.

    I think he'll either be the first out or out the first time the old guys go to tribal, or he'll be around for awhile (either jury or just before jury).

    I have watched part of one episode of Survivor - - the first year it was on and it was the TV show everyone talked about.

    I have not watched since. I will not watch because Jimmy Johnson is on.

    I doubt that there are too many things in the world that are "less real" than "Reality Television".

    People categorize Survivor as "reality TV!!" the same way they categorized everything with guitars and a whiny singer as "Alternative!!!!' in the 1990s.

    Survivor has never been Reality TV. It's a game show. Same goes for The Amazing Race, and in some ways, The Bachelor and its other incarnations. The object is ultimately to compete and win. It's not just cameras following people around during the (usually staged) events of everyday life.

    Haven't watched the show since All-Stars, but I'm intrigued by the Oldies vs. Young'uns format of this one. May check it out.

    This.

    I watch it for the same reason that I choose to watch other shows. They entertain me. It's that simple.

    I think the over/under on how long he lasts is about 5.5. While it might be tempting to vote him out early, I also think people will be intimidated by him but mostly like him from what they think they "know" about him from TV. It's one thing to vote out someone nobody knows, but voting out someone who is on TV? Everyone is going to want to be his friend.

    Thanks, Lies. They're not sovling the world's problems or curing cancer. It's freaking TV. Sit back and enjoy it or turn he channel.

    Agree. I don't watch any of the reality shows. And I bet Jimmy hangs around for a while because they're advertising him so much. The show doesn't do that unless it's for someone they need as a draw deep into the run.

    Well, after the first episode we now know Kristen Wiig's Judy Grimes character from SNL was inspired by Wendy Jo.
