SURVIVOR MICRONESIA
So, I'm sitting here watching Survivor, as I have done every week for every season since naked Richard Hatch won by using a -- shock! -- alliance back in 2000.
Every season, every year, I get misty eyed on "family night" -- the evening Jeff Probst uses family members of the tribesmen as a "reward" for a challenge. When the family members show up on the island, everyone runs and hugs and weeps hot tears.
At least, I used to always get misty eyed. However, I have to admit, David's year long deployment in Iraq makes a thirty day island adventure without your family look a little less emotionally treacherous.
(No, I'm not going to stop watching it, because then the terrorists would've won. )
