I really haven’t shared this before, but after 21 years, I think I am now: This is what I posted on Facebook earlier on Sunday
I totally agree. In truth, I fell in love with the idea the previous December when I saw a paragraph about CBS greenlighting a global reality competition show in the Atlanta Journal Constitution laying in a hospital bed after four emergency surgeries in three days because of a near fatal flesh eating bacterial infection. So one could say I owe my life to TAR, that and my schnauzers were my only motivation to live….I wanted to see it. And I still do! 🌍🌏🌎🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
I’ll note this after reading these posts and the Reality Blurred post as well.
What was news to me was just how
creatively chaotic creating, filming producing and airing that first season turned out to be. But it ends up reinforcing my long held belief that season one was the best season of the show’s 32 seasons to date and that a script writer never could have dreamt up what season one was to be.
