My illusions have been shattered....

I watched the finale of Survivor last night. Did anybody else catch the blooper?
After the two hour episode, they had the live revelation of the winner, supposedly unknown up to that point.

Yeah, right.

The suspence must have been unbearable, because the guy responsible for running the character generator flashed the words, "Jenna's Family" on the screen minutes before the vote tally was announced. At the time, the screen was not showing her family, it was showing the members of the jury.

Timing is so important on a live TV event.

The illusion is shattered; CBS knows who won long before the live telecast. So much for all the suckers who bet on the outcome.

Speaking of the outcome, the best player lost. So did Matt. The weepy whiny wench won.

You mean it wasn't real? It was all scripted? Who would have ever guessed? Duh!

I only watch the reality shows where there's a potential train wreck; Mr. Personality is, in fact, the only one I've ever deliberately watched. And I lost interest in it after the first night.

Of COURSE they're scripted! Reality is dull! That's why we have the glass teat to suck on!
