The Fix Is In

If you thought I watched too much tv before, read on.

Becky and I watch a lot of Reality TV, and we have found something a bit suspicious. Could it be, the outcomes are predetermined? Let's look at the facts:

AMERICAN IDOL

Winners:

Season 1: Kelly Clarkson
Season 2: Ruben Studdard (who robbed Clay Aiken)
Season 3: Fantasia Barrino

Hum...Girl, Guy, Girl. I predict a Male winner from Season 4.

BIG BROTHER

Season 1: Eddie
Season 2: Will
Season 3: Lisa
Season 4: Jun
Season 5: Drew

Interesting...Guy, Guy, Girl, Girl, Guy. Again, I predict a Male winner on Season 6.

AMAZING RACE

Season 1: Rob and Brennan
Season 2: Chris and Alex
Season 3: Zach and Flo
Season 4: Reichen and Chip
Season 5: Chip and Kim

Ok, this is a little different because of the team concept. However...Male/Male, Male/Male, Male/Female, Male/Male, Male/Female...

What is interesting is this: Season 1 and 2, All Male. Season 3 = M/F. Season 4 was again M/M, but the contestants were the first Gay Couple to win. Season 5 was again M/F BUT there was only ONE, yes ONE All Male team. And, this couple was the first African-American Couple to win.

Diversity. Who will win 6? I predict a Woman/Woman, an Elderly Couple or an Asian Couple.

SURVIVOR

1: Richard Hatch - Borneo
2: Tina Wesson - Outback
3: Ethan Zohn - Africa
4: Vecepia Towery - Marquesas
5: Brian Heidik - Thailand
6: Jenna Morasca - Amazon
7: Sandra Diaz-Twine - Panama
8: Amber Brkich - All Star
9: Chris Daugherty - Vanautu

Man, Woman, Man, Woman, Man, Woman, Woman, Woman, Man

They mixed it up a little, But if you throw in Rupert (who won a Million on All-Stars for being the Most Loved Player) you have 5 Men, and 5 Women taking home the top prize.

Interesting split.

I predict a Man will win #10.

APPRENTICE

Season 1: Bill Rancic
Season 2: Kelly Perdew

See? Man, Woman...oh. wait, Kelly was a Man, too? Ok, Man, Man...but I predict #3 will be a Woman...and #4.

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

1: Adrianne
2: Yoanna
3: Eva

Woman, Woman, Woman...Geez, why hasn't a guy won this? Still, I predict UPN will crown a Woman in Season 4...and, to go out on a limb, I predict a woman in Season 5 as well...call me crazy!!

So there you have it... draw your own conclusions, but I think there is a fix in Reality Land.
