Day 30 - Favourite Variety Programme or Reality Series

I would have said The Amazing Race, but it somehow got boring for me. Though I get to see different countries and interesting facts about them, the focus is still on the contestants and some of them ought to be murdered. So my pick will be Survivor as that's when being obnoxious can either help you get to the top, or you'll be out next.


So it might be even more boring location-wise, as the game doesn't move from one location. However, the unpredictable weather helps make things interesting, especially when you see how stupid people can be when building their shelter, only to have a swimming pool right in the middle when it rains and flood the pit they dig out. Then there's the backstabbing and lying, and seeing how far all that can take you before it bites you back in the butt. Karma is definitely part of the show. Not forgetting the token nut case in every season!

The amazing thing about the show is the games they come up with. Well some are games we play, but some are really interesting games that make you wonder who came up with them. Not only are the games interesting, it's how they actually clear an area in the jungle to build an obstacle course, or build the game out at sea, that just mind blowing sometimes.
