        <![CDATA[ Hello my dear friends.  I stay away mostly (is mostly really a proper word?  I am a word hound), but I feel a need to share this thought today.  PLEASE please
please consider reading The Mirror Effect by Dr. Drew.  Guys, we are all in this book.  I picked it up to read only because I thought it would be
&quot;juicy&quot; tidbits on &quot;other people&quot; who behave badly.  Well, it had juice in it, but it was sort of therapuetic (is there a spellchecker in
here?). What a surprise to find... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I got the book from the library yesterday. I especially like the Mariah Carey example of demanding her hotel/suite toilets have new seats installed before her
stay. I skipped ahead to take the narcissistic personality inventory (NPI). From those results, I scored 10, below the national average. In other words, too
boring for reality TV. ]]></description>

will see me on it.  I am a journalist, I believe in documentation, furthermore, I like a little affirmation in my life that I am an awesome 43-year old phenom
of a woman--call me insecure, call me a show off...whatever, but if I am one of the chosen ones that gets to play this incredible game and endure hardships I

I think most of us here have a real connection to the show Survivor. Nut Jobs? Not so sure about this. We all are type A personalities and have strong
opinions. Some have them about everything and some are just passionate about a few things. But passionate we all are.
<br>
<br>
I think that is why we get so frustrated with how the casting goes for Survivor and TAR for that instance. There is a difference between soap opera Reality
like (Big Brother, MTV, ANY dating show etc)... ]]></description>

Survivor reality is more to all of us than adventure and challenges on the beach or in jungles, heck I could do all that without TV cameras. And the part we

probably only 4 or 5 and dad rescued me from sure death that day. That&#39;s why I would suck in any water challenges to this day. My comfort zone is not in
water unless it&#39;s a nice tiled pool with clear water.

			<description><![CDATA[ I think the mentally unstable types apply for shows like &quot;Rock of Love&quot; and any show MTV/VH1 creates. Those are where the REAL crazies are. Survivor,
on the other hand, gets a few--i&#39;m sure--but I think most of us here at P.I. are mentally stable. It&#39;s the people that don&#39;t have a life outside of
this whole application after application deal that they should worry about--but I think it&#39;s safe to say we ALL have a life outside of here. ]]></description>

aspect of the show. Most of us have NO clue what really goes on from that perspective. We all think of the surviving, game-play, or money aspects of being on
Survivor because that is what we see on TV. However, there is a whole other side, which Wish is alluding too - and it is not nice. We here at the Pygmy Island
