survivor palau so rocks.

we don't watch a ton of tv but survivor has been a staple from day one. for me, it wads up all the stuff that happens in day-to-day life in a nice reaidly digestible 1 hour serving which pretty much validates the generalism that "logic just doesn't matter" and that "team work" is by and large a false promise. mind you, my mom raised me to be an optimist (thx mom) but it sure helps to be grounded with a healthy dose of realism when dealing with the species human.

anyways, stephanie, what a story. she has the unfortunate honor of having been the only survivor to have attended every single tribal council yet she is still there ... even when all the odds were stacked against her as was the case last night. you simply have to root for good characters in survivor because, as so often is the case, forces typically align to make for unfortunate conflict. i'd add unneccesary conflict but with survivor this is a necessary ingredient as there is a strong motivation for said behaviour and, well, given that $hit happens from time to time in our so called life anyways for various reasons ... it is just refreshing to see goodness win out, even if it is infrequent.

go steph! if she doesn't win, and it looks to be a long bet, she'll likely win a "best of" viewers award like rupert before her. no doubt on that one.
