đâisnât that just a trashy reality tv show?â
NO. reality tv yes but trashy absolutely not. Survivor is the ideal of the Genre all other shows strive towards. there is a reason that we are on season 47 (!!) right now and itâs still EXCELLENT
jeff probst is the best most passionate host for a game show ever, heâs invested in what he does and in the game. the show is funny and entertaining and human and engaging. the show has been doing âsocial experimentsâ since before every reality show decided to call themselves âsocial experiments.â
basic premise of the show is that players start out on a tribe where they are competing against another tribe (or tribes, depending on the season) in challenges. every episode the tribe that loses the âimmunity challengeâ has to vote someone out. THEN once the tribes are small enough, they âmergeâ and then everyone is on one big tribe and it becomes an individual game with individual immunity challenges. alliances from the early part of the season may stay or may not!
itâs just the best reality show and itâs got heart and itâs got soul and itâs entertaining as hell. please watch it. best seasons are probably Heroes vs Villains and Cagayan so thatâs where i would start if i were you. youâll be quoting jeff probst before you know it. i grew up on survivor and rediscovered my love for it as an adult and you all deserve to experience this, too.

So, it has come to my attention that Survivor, the island survival reality tv show, is IN right now.
Which is fascinating to me, because I grew up watching Survivor with my mom. She has seen every single episode over the course of the show's 20+ years. I watched maybe 10ish years of them with her.
This show is great for some reason, always has been. Go ahead, watch a season or two.
I associate this Heroes vs. Villains season with the most carefree part of my childhood.

đmy sister just had a baby and i am considering the type of aunt?/guncle ? (the designation becomes tricky w gender lol) i may be. but ultimately the archetype of âcool auntââmysterious, distant-yet-warm, uninvolved in family dramas, arrives at family gatherings wearing strange, somehow stylish clothes, bearing copious gifts and floating on an air of urban lifeâresonates most soundly with me
this has also led me to reflect on how my momâs sister played such a key role in my  youth by revealing to me a foundational truth that this is not all that there is! âtwas a very hopeful message to me, a miserable child/teen unsuited to christian suburban life, forced to procure my wardrobe primarily from the womenâs section at the department store because that is what my mother deemed reasonable (and kohlâs cash)Â
some of the notable moments my aunt bestowed upon my adolescence include:
⢠taking me to see moonrise kingdom at the indie art deco theater in a nearby mountain town ⢠driving me to philly for shows at tla even though she had no idea who the artists were and would stand in the back; also paying for all my meals and whims on our south street jaunts ⢠curating a collection of signed books from author visits at her local library, which sheâd always drop off nonchalantly as gifts (charles santore picture books, lemony snicket !) ⢠signing me up for 5ks and carting me along to her races ⢠explaining to me what a âlesbianâ is and taking me to meet said lesbians in a dimly lit new york restaurant where i tried alligator sausage and felt so urbane ⢠general trips to ny for broadway shows and museums  ⢠introducing me to rummikub ⢠letting me roam free at community music festivals from late afternoon til dusk, where iâd encounter children from different counties, get in harmless trouble and infuse my life with the intrigue of those unknown to me but in those brief momentsÂ
