We were addicted to this show last season, but have barely seen it this season. It's a really well-made show, for what it is, and in the 5 minutes I saw of it last week, I quickly learned a bit about each couple. What's frustrating is how much of the show is racing to the airport and fighting over airplane seats. Gets tiresome after a while. I prefer Survivor.

Something that I find superior about Survivor(if I can use that word when describing "reality" shows) is that AR doesn't have much conflict between teams. Sure, the couples sometimes bicker, but Survivor is nothing but conflict, with a few lame contests thrown in to break up the back-biting and trash talking. The AR contestants rarely get the chance to interact, which takes away a lot of the psuedo-drama.

I know if I started watching AR, though, I'd get sucked in, and way too much of my schedule in the past has revolved around tv shows. Thank god for the tv drought this summer. TV has never been worse and I've never watched less.

And to save him the effort in this thread, Bong says to kill your tv. :)
