BUMP from the past!

No need to start a new thread, maybe we can talk here about things we do while we wait for TAR6?

For now, I satisfy my Reality cravings with Survivor Vanuatu. No time to watch other shows, although I would love to catch up with CSI and Alias. And I am waiting for the 4th season of 24!

I'm a mod so I stick around...I'd stick around in any case though Wink

Even if I was banned or something I'd find my way here to look around.

I'm not really a fan of Survivor: Vanuatu. I liked Seasons 1 through about 4 of Survivor. I hated 5... You could tell this by me just now saying to myself "OH CRAP! Survivor was on 2 hours ago...". For TAR I begin preparing to watch it hours before it is about to air...HOURS. And even though I thought Season 4 wasn't the best of seasons, it was still amazing. My favorite TAR still is TAR2...that amazing finish is so awesome with Tara & Wil and Chris & Alex running towards the finish line...I'm going too off-topic.

I think we can go WAY off-topic here, since this the title suggests "Things to talk about now the race is over", which could be everything! Grin

(And you're the mod here, so please allow this one. Wink

)

I first started watching Survivor first than TAR. I started with Survivor Africa, which for me is THE BEST SEASON, with Lex commenting on slitting throats, and them surrounded by lions and what have you. I didn't get to watch the whole S4, so all I know from that is that an Under The Radar type won it (Vecepia). S5, quite good, because of Shii Ann, and Brian, the "Epitome of a Used-Car Salesman". S6, pretty cool too, with the first gender-divided tribes, and Jenna and Heidi, and Christy!

S7 is also one of my favorites. I can still remember when I always root for Drake during challenges. And alliances that are not there, except for Rupert, Christa and Sandra.

I'm not sure, but I think TAR4 was shown with one season of Survivor, I forgot what. TAR4 was the first TAR series I "completed". My first glimse of TAR is the Vietnam leg (I think) of TAR3, where Flo is trying to pick up and ride the bike stacked with rattan stuffs, and failing horribly while she was having a tantrum. It stuck in my mind, so when I caught TAR 4 (Episode 1) in the TV, I watched it, and it was good. So I watched it all, rooting for Millie and Chuck and Jon and Al.

Ok, anyone else wants to talk? :laff:

I'll talk, Jaypee.

I was a fan of Survivor from the very first season even though I was only 10. Cheesy

I remember that my mom and me both hated Rich from the very first episode... that started our curse... I still watch Survivor, and we even got my dad to join in on the reality shows. (He won't watch TAR though! Angry

)

I didn't start watching TAR until TAR4. I gave TAR1 a chance back in 2001, but I thought it looked stupid. Don't ask why... So I just watched little bits of TAR1-3... then when TAR4 started I gave it another chance. Now I am so happy I did, because of all the awesome teams! (And I get to chat with awesome people! Wink

) What would life be like without the awesome teams of Jon and Al and Charla and Mirna? Cheesy

Now I just hope that TAR comes out on DVD. I need to catch up on the TAR's I missed... Embarassed

Stupid? Stupid Huh

The first TAR episode I ever saw (10 PM Wednesday April sumthing...it was the Sydney -> Coober Pedy leg in TAR2)...I was hooked. It was during a school trip, so my roomates were yelling at me to shut it off at 10:30 PM (2 hr ep so it was until 11...) and I wouldn't...I just loved the show from the first second. It's just an awesome show. Grin

I saw TAR1 too last fall. I thought it was a great season. TAR2, the first season I watched is still the best for me. Followed by TAR1, TAR5, TAR3, and then TAR4. If Flo wouldn't have won TAR3 it would have been higher Cheesy

So until TAR6 starts...
I'm gonna be watching...um...hmmmm....ya....Yankees baseball...but that ends in late October leaving me a 2 week cushion. They last 3-5 hours so they keep me busy. Also there is...The David Letterman Show! I like that show...oh and the Simpsons. That premieres November 7th, the day after TAR...so that won't help...

And Jaypee, I'm not absoulte dictator...at least I don't try to be...I only really mod if someone uses many smilies *cough*ilovemymariners*cough* or posts spoliers in this news, gossip, and recaps forum *cough*sk698*cough*.

When I first saw TAR, I saw it with my father and it was the very end of TAR 2. All I basically saw was the race to the finish line. (I think) I didn't think much then, but when it replayed, I started watching in the middle of the first episode. It was the part when teams were arriving at the Big Man in Rio De Janeiro. I started to get more interested but it was late at night so I had the last 20 minutes recorded and I watched it the next day after school. After that, I kept watching every season. My dad tells me he'd seen a glimpse of the very last episode of TAR 1 but didn't know what it was. All he remembers was it featured a place in NY called Flushing Meadows Park, because it had the globe.

Yeah, I hope they release a DVD of TAR! :clap:

I heard CBS (?) released a DVD for Survivor All-Stars, so why not TAR? I want to see Brazil!

CharlaIsAmazing (Setsu?), when I was 10, there was no such thing as Reality TV, although if there was, I don't think I would have watched them. Roll Eyes

And you watch with your parents. My parents don't watch foreign Reality TV, only local ones (we have TONS of them Roll Eyes

), but I got them to watch the Philippine Legs of TAR (who wouldn't? Wink

). It's usually us (siblings? we have a Filipino one-word for brothers and sisters, I dunno if it translates to siblings, but anyways) siblings that watch foreign (mostly American or "English-languaged") shows. I watch Letterman when it was still aired locally, although I think Conan O'Brien is way crazier. Grin

I don't like Jay Leno. I wonder why. Lips Sealed

And I also like The Simpsons when I was younger. (Sonic, it's obvious you like The Simpsons. It's like saying I lurve Dolly. Grin

)

Aside, from watching TV (and working), I read books to entertain myself. So you see me posting in the Books section of ForumsNet. Wink

I think the first Amazing Race was the best Amazing race.. When I watched it i was supprised because i didn't know what yeild was or road block.. But now i can kinda predict when I yeild or Road block is coming.. I couldn't then! I didn't watch the Amazing Race 2 that much but i did often.. Now it's a habbit.. I still turn on the T.V On Tuesday at 10:00 pm and them "Joan of Arcadia" Is on and i forget that it's not on till november! Cry

Hmmm... there's no Yield yet in the first Amazing Race. Wink

But I get what you say. Although I think they alternate which comes first, the RoadBlock or Detour.

The alternating on Roadblock/Detour first appeared in TAR4.

Life without Reality TV? That must have sucked. Wink

But yeah, Survivor was what got me into reality shows. And I still watch with my mom (and my dad on Survivor) but we don't always agree. (Especially like on the Mia-Twila thing on Survivor. )
