Survivor

A reality tv show on CBS, created by Mark Burnett, that debued in the summer of 2000 and features sixteen contestants or “castaways” originally composed of two teams of eight that live in seclusion in a remote part of the world to eat bugs, snakes, dirt, game and scorpions for like a month for a million dollars. Physical competitions are held each week to determine which team will win an award challenge, and then another challenge to determine who will win immunity. The team that doesnt win immunity must vote off a teammate. This also happens after the tribal merge but immunity goes to the individual instead and an individual is then voted out of the game. Midway through the season, the two teams are merged to form a single tribe when the real cut-throat part of the game really begins, where your friend is now your foe. The winner of the $1 million is announced on live television on the last episode.

The show has been filmed in such remote locations as Borneo (the 1st season), the Australian Outback, the Marcaisas, the Amazon, China, Pearl Islands, Panama and Fiji.

Let's be honest, the only way you can appear as a contestant on Survivor, is by being gay (Richard Hatch, the original winner), a model, a freek or incrediblly narcistic like Johnny Fairplay (the most evil Survivor contestant ever). Normal people need not apply.

opinionated

An often irritating personality trait by which a stubborn, strong willed person always has to give their strong opinions, sometimes to the point of always believing they have to be right and have the last word.

I consider myself opinionated, but try to keep it under control so I don't irritate people.

loner

One who spends most of their time in solitude. This may or may not be by choice. If it's by choice, the person is probably an introvert and enjoys their independence. But for those who are a loner not by choice is usually the result of low confidence and the inability to make/keep friends and not fitting in with society.

There is nothing wrong with being a loner if the person enjoys their solitude. But for those who are one by chance, it is not fun and can result in depression.

Indianapolis Colts

An NFL franchise that has been based in Indianapolis, Indiana since relocating from Baltimore, Maryland in the dead of night in 1984. They've had a roller coaster ride since arriving in Indianapolis but won the 2007 Super Bowl under the leadership of Payton Manning. Represent the AFC South Conference. Known for generally bad defense, but are currently a very dangerous team that can beat the shit out of opponents when badmouthed.

The Indianapolis Colts are known for winnning many come-from-behind games when they improve their often lackluster defense.

Michigan

"UAW local 31 considers striking as GM announces more layoffs in Michigan. The story at eleven." Thats all you here in the headlines about this pathetic, Rust Belt state. Forget about finding a job here. Go elsewhere. Even Ohio is better--not much, but better nonetheless.

Michigan is the single-worst state to live and is the epitome of the Rust Belt.

Northwest Airlines

The absolute worst airline in the world to fly known for bad customer service. They treat their passengers like crap and overcharge for lowsy service. You have to pay for just making a reservation itself, for a soda, pillows, blankets, to check in your bag and almost to even use the toilet. When asked by an employee to help you, they role their eyes and speak in a condescending manner. When your trip is over they stick a broomstick up your ass and tell you to beat it.

The carrier is the 5th largest in the U.S. and is headquartered in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. It has major hubs in Detroit, Memphis and Amsterdam with focus cities in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, Indianapolis, Washington DC and Boston.

Northwest Airlines is disgusting but I will only fly them when I have to.
