Survivor - post katrina?

As I was changing radio stations this morning, I heard one of the morning personalities say that she doesn't think she can watch the TV show "Survivor" any more. She said the idea of watching people in a scripted, "pretend" survival situation just didn't appeal to her after seeing all the people in the Gulf Coast actually trying to survive a real tragedy.

What do you think?

I only watched Season one of Survivor, and after that it lost its appeal for me, but I can see her point.

Re: Survivor - post katrina?

i think that is silly....

One has nothing at all to do with the other....
And it gets annoying when, imo, people take things to the extreme like that
it is a tv show for entertainment...

i have to agree with red. i think it's silly to think that way.

it's a t.v. show for entertainment, AND it's a competition too. totally different in my opinion.

I agree with everyone.
Survivor is a show on tv made for entertainment.
We need to learn not to compare those things.

Listen, the listener can watch and not watch whatever she wants. I don't watch Survivor because i'm not interested in it. I see her point, but I don't share her opinion- basically because I never like the show- so it makes no difference to me.

would that include not watching the show Lost?
Or reruns of gilligans island?

Sorry i don't see her point i guess

I don't get the connection at all, but different things trigger bad feelings and painful memories in different people.

It's true. I could NEVER give up Lost, but different people have different sensitivies.

Re: Survivor - post katrina?

I can see her point. After 9/11, I felt like I'd never be able to watch some stupid sitcom, or The Daily Show. It kind of put things in perspective. But then that feeling fades, and things go back to normal. I bet that woman will be watching Survivor within a few weeks...
