Survivor: heroes vs. Villains starts on Thurs. I haven't watched Survivor in a long time, mostly because the idea, to me, is boring now. I mean, after 10 years, how much rice can one person eat? But, I think about how this same show 10 years ago, ushered in a whole new phenomenon that has changed the course of television. Every reality show that is currently running can thank Survivor for their opportunity. But, on an even deeper level, how much has reality TV changed the world in terms of morality and ethics? The answer: a lot. I remember the moment it changed, too- Boston Rob on Survivor who made alliances on the show, then turned his back on those same members when the opportune time came. No more does the good guy win the game. Instead, a new definition of " winner" has emerged: the one who lies, cheats,and steals gets the ticket to sail to the top. Since tv is a reflecion of how culture is moving, what does this say for us as a society?
( BTW, Boston Rob is on this next season guess which side he is on...=)
A wife. a mother. A pastor's wife. Above all, a Christ follower.
