The women-vs.-men dynamic of “Survivor: Amazon” is interesting, but probably not enough to make me watch any more than the opening episode last night. I skipped the last two Survivors altogether, and nothing I saw last night has elevated it above the tidal-wave-like glut of reality TV right now.
Since it’s hard to keep 16 strangers straight in the beginning, Kevin and I spent most of the time making up nicknames for the contestants: Boob Girl, Asian Popeye, and Crazy Scary Nipple Man were among the castaways who made an impression, although not necessarily a favorable one.
Wake me up when it’s over.
I think this one will be pretty dull up until the tribes merge. Then, with all that pent up sexual tension, things should get really interesting.
