We always watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. That's our nightly 'church ' service. LOL

Shirley got me hooked on the TV show called The Voice.

I don't have TV at home, so returning home might be slightly awkward feeling after enjoying nearly a month of TV.

I need a TV now, with bunny ears.

Last year (Nov. 2016) Shirley and I were roommates at the nursing home....but she passed away last June (2017). Shirley had an very interesting hobby: she was a local celebrity in her hometown, as part of an acting troupe, putting on theater shows to raise money for local women's shelters and for disadvantaged children. Toward the end of my stay at the nursing home, I met her only daughter, who carries on in her mother's memory, directing projects to raise money via the theater troupe for Shirley's favorite local charities.

I miss her, we had such fun watching TV shows together after the supper hour.

I have watched Survivor since the very first episode.

A lot of the seasons I did not really like part of the cast but always wound up enjoying it when the numbers got down to 6 or 7.

I usually root for the underdog but only if they have nerves of steel, a backbone (i.e., not like our current Congress and Senate) and are not cruel towards others (same).

Deception is part of the game but cruelty is not.

Ben the Marine.

Boy, did I feel an infinity for him. He is an Iraq war vet that came back with PTSD. He was tough as nails, was always focused on his mission but allowed his vulnerability to slip through; usually in reference to his wife and children. He would talk about how he was "in the gutter" when he came back from Iraq and how his wife "saved" him. His bright blue eyes would fill with tears and it would choke me up.

Yep. Hooked on Ben.

Blogs and articles did not think that he would win (and did not want him to) but he always knew that he really had no alliances, that everyone in the game wanted him out and that he could only count on himself.

He was relentless. He would search for idols for hours. I loved the 3 episodes when the other 4, 5, or 6 were so smug thinking that "we got him this this time" and no, no, they did not. It was classic.

It was beautiful to watch.

I guess, in some way, for me; goodness won out this time and I don't see much of that happening in our world these days.

I couldn't find the forum thread for documentaries, but I'm watching the documentary about Moms Mabley, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg and other Afro-American celebrity stand up comedian's. Excellent doc and SO VERY informative. If you've never heard of Moms Mabley, I highly recommend watching this documentary.
