With so many reality shows out there we all think we have a shot at them, right? Well, do you think you could survive on shows like Survivor and Big Brother...where it is not only about stamina, but about office politics?
Think about this. We are trained for this social interaction of office politics when we begin school. All the gossiping, the alliances we make, and the decisions of who we choose to be in our circles. It all boils down to games and strategies....and as we get older we learn the unwritten rules to this. Ultimately, anyone of us could take part in these shows....and unfortunately us women have an advantage. That is not to say that we all take advantage of this, but we know how to use it if we have to.
And sometimes when I am at work I feel this is happening all the time. I do not play into the games, but after awhile you can see how you can control people who take part in this.
SO do you think you could be the last survivor?

Taface, as enticing as the money is, no I could not do it. For one surviver is brutal, and I could not tolerate all the back stabbing that goes on, on BB. I do love to watch it play out. I guess I am a tad voyeuristic that way.
you are so right that women are strong players in life's games, especially in the work place. I have seen it happen many times, just as I have seen women cut down other women here in mylot for the slightest infraction. I like you do not want any part of those mind games. I never have.

Have you seen that show "To tell the truth."? Now that show is very dangerous....I am sure that it has either broken up some marriages or it has broken up family relationships....
And I know all too well how us women play the game of emotional politics and gossip....and like you said I just sit on the sidelines and watch it all play out.
Thanks for responding.
