I was watching Survivor the other night and the castaways were struggling to start a fire. A smartass could yell at the television and talk about how stupid the castaways were. After all, starting a fire with nothing but flint and kindling has to be really easy, right?
It isn't. Especially when you are starving, thirsty, dealing with total strangers and have cameras shoved in your face twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
From the comfort of our couch we love to yell at athletes for missing a shot or throwing an interception. Maybe we played in high school and like we all know that makes us an expert on professional sports. There are armchair quarterbacks but I think we also need to have a new category of people: Armchair reality tv participants.
