I Castaways got the same kind of cache. But it took the original 16 until day 37, well into the Final Four Episode to really grouse about hunger. In contrast, this group, wich started out younger, much buffer and better toned, spent their days whining like a group of rug rats in a day care center suffering from nap deprivation. What's worse, they behaved like the Two Little Piggies who partied and built their houses out of sticks and straw, gorging themselves with little regard to their food supply down the line. Like little Ridilin rockets hooked on Gummie Bears and Pez, they've come to believe that if they bawl long enough, Uncle Jeff will soon deliver with one of those shameless commerical cross plugs for Doritos or Mountain Dew.
Great drama is uplifting and teaches lessons.
It would be oe thing if the cameras found true plane crash victims struggling to survive. That would teach us all lessons about courage and human endurance. It all rings as hollow as the squeal from that baby pig that had to die for the ratings a few weeks back. And the marine life he gathered looked like a Buffet Night at Red Lobster compared to those anemic pan fish from the polluted Herbert River. She came off like a sorority pledge who'd just binged on Jagermeister shots and couldn't wait for her daddy to come by in the Mercedes to rescue her.
