Rant: Survivor
Rod: Just a few insect bites? Is that what Earth people call danger?
Barry: People are in more danger making a horror movie than this!
Rod: Heck, they are in more danger walking down a typical street.
Barry: And people call this Earth show, Survivor. That other network’s show was more dangerous than this!
Rod: Are you talking about I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here?
Barry: Yeah! That show was so bad that celebrities were quitting instead of waiting to be voted off!
Rod: Hey, it lived up to it’s title!
Barry: Remember that reality show, The Mole?
Rod: Yeah! I kept watching for a small creature digging holes in the ground, according to Earth research books. I didn’t see that ending coming.
Barry: Agreed! Earth people do strange things with their language. I mean having a word mean a small creature and a sneaky human.
Rod: Dancing with the Stars is more dangerous. People get injured just dancing on that one!
Barry: Do you know what really gets me? Someone comes up with a good reality show and the network kills it.
Rod: Are you talking about Who Wants to Be a Superhero?
Barry: Yeah! People were playing super heroes they created and Stan Lee picked the best one. That was more believable than Survivor.
Rod: This is nothing like what we had at home!
Barry: Oh, yeah! Remember that show the Supreme Overlord had with the winner getting a promotion?
Rod: Yeah! Now, that was exciting entertainment!
Barry: Contestants would be put in a pit with a creature and the rules were simple: survive or be lunch.
Rod: And then there was the survivalist challenge, where the contestant had so much time to get into his protective gear before the swarm of insects were released.
Barry: And don’t forget what happened if the Supreme Overlord ordered you off the ship.
Rod: I remember! She escorted the person to the airlock, closed it, and then opened the outer door.
Rod: Yeah! Now THAT was entertainment!
Barry: Why don’t they do that one any more?
Rod: Well, what she did right there seemed to scare folks off, even if they wanted a promotion.
Barry: Why is that?
Rod: She kept forgetting to give them spacesuits before they went into the airlock.
