Hi everyone!

My name is Sandy. I'm from Wichita, Kansas. I've been lurking for a couple of years--I have high-speed internet--so now seemed like the right time to lurk no more.

I'm 42 and a single mom of 1--I have a 10 year old daughter that I have raised by myself with no child support. We have struggled, but she is such a great kid who gets good grades, is likeable, and a pretty good athlete.

Being a single mom and no father in the picture to help watch her, I don't get to date much so guess what I do--WATCH REALTY TV!!! I'm addicted to Big Brother, The Batchelor/Batchlorette, Survivor and the Amazing Race. I have also watched Cupid, Joe Millionare, some others I can't remember the names of.

I have a really good job as bookkeeper in a very family-oriented company which has been a lifesaver for me (my daughter goes to work with me on days there is no school).

Nice to finally join you guys.

Eliz87: Just wanted to say, my second favorite team in the NFL happens to be the Browns!!! There is a lot of respect (hidden of course, we never say it outloud..hehe) for the Browns. Great team... hope my Steelers cream your Browns! haha

A quick "welcome" and "Thanks" to all of you who are making this Survior Board so much fun and so interesting.

It's difficult to thank each and everyone personally, or even say hello and welcome... so please excuse the general welcome and hello.

Yuhuru: I set my clock to watch the interviews and still have yet to see one... duh... I blame it on my alarm clock... the kids say I just don't WANT to get up...hahahaha

Hello everyone,

My name is Cathie, I'm 41 and was born & raised in Ft. Worth, TX. I moved up to Canada in my early 20's. Currently, I live in Edmonton, AB with my DH Andy (hence my screen name), our DS Ethan, and 2 DD (twins) Chelsea & Gillian. I drive a school bus part-time so I can stay at home and be with our kids.

I started out as a lurker on TVCH on the BB1 boards. I quickly became addicted but it took me a few seasons to get up the nerve to post my thoughts & opinions. I'm getting braver each season. This is my 1st year on the Survivor board and I'm having a great time playing the Deadpool along with watching the show this year.

I really love TVCH and it's posters. I can always count on having a entertaining and sometimes very thought provoking read. I'm always happy to see a familiar "screenname" which makes me feel like I'm seeing a old friend. I really encourage anyone new to start posting. This is a awesome community.

My favorite shows are Survivor, West Wing, Big Brother, Trading Spaces, Sex and the City, Enterprise, The Amazing Race, The Mole, and The Sopranos.

Catfat, Port Townsend is one of my favorite areas in the US. We used to travel there quite regularly and can't wait till we return again. We have moved to the prairies because of my DH's job but our hearts are in the Pacific Northwest (on both sides of the borders).

Hi Everyone!

My name is Sue and I live in Rochester, NY. I'm 47, married for 25 yrs, and have 3 kids (2 girls, 22 & 19, and a son, 15.) My oldest just graduated from college last spring and is busy working 2 jobs, which I appear to be her taxi driver to, since she doesn't have a car or a license yet, for that matter! My younger daughter is a soph in college and my son is a soph in HS. I love animals, although right now we're down to one dog, one cat and a pondful of fish, which are going to have to come inside soon, since my pond isn't deep enough! :(

I started lurking on this board during BB2 and finally started posting during BB3. My claim to fame is Lisa from BB3 grew up here and I met her mom's best friend on this board and got to watch the finals last year w/her mom, brother, other family members, friends & fans, at a local resturant who put on a BB night for us!

Last year I started getting into Survivor and then American Idol and here I still am! I'm looing forward to spending this survivor season here with everyone on the TVCH board!

Hi y'all! I've been lurking for about a year, finally decided to join the group. Everyone here is so friendly. My favorite programs are Survivor, Amazing Race, and ER.

I'm dropping in to welcome the new posters.. and the veterans... hehe but mainly I'm sitting here eating "crow" and just have to say:

Congratulations to all the Browns Fans!!! What a beautifully played game by the Browns. Couch sure showed his stuff. My Steelers were pathetic... I've dubbed them the Morganites.. hehe I love my Steelers no matter how rotten they play, and they sure have been playing poorly so far this season.. but I have faith. Again... The Browns creamed the Steelers... and deserve my respect.

I had been wondering why this past Big Brother was missing any folk in their 40s.

After reading about all of you, I know why. You are all too busy –and you all seem to have much too interesting lives– to waste months trapped in an isolated house with some stangers.

HI! My name is Kelly and I am from Northeast Missouri. I am 35 and have been married for 15 1/2 years. I have four children (3 boys, almost 14, 8 and 4 & 1 girl, 12) and am a stay at home Mom.

I got interested in Survivor during the Thailand one and have been hooked ever since. I am really enjoying this one though. GO RUPERT!!!!

Other reality type shows I watch are watch Big Brother and Joe Schmoe(never had the desire to watch any of the dating type ones). Since the new TV season has started I also have gotten into watching The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire & Joan of Arcadia along with other favorites like CSI, Without a Trace, and any of the forensic shows on Court TV. I also have a "date" every Mon. night with my oldest son to watch American Chopper. The Sheild has to be my absolute favorite though, and I am dying for the new season to start.

I was a lurker here during BB3 and finally started posting during BB4. I think TVCH is a great board and enjoy coming here.

Kellannie and BCandScot:

I've been hearing so much about the Joe Schmoe Show, but have yet to catch it... I thought that it was all scripted.. or am I mistaken???

BTW, have to add that I never miss American Chopper, Monster House, Monster Garage or Big Paul and Paulie from Orange County Choppers (I love Mikey)... love those shows. Also a huge fan of Queer As Folk and Gay Eye For The Straight Guy.... great shows.

Greetings Everyone. I am taking the plunge and joinging in rather than just reading comments.

Big Brother was my favorite show until this year.
Survivor, Real World and Road Rules are programs I faithfully follow.

CATFAT: Another Poldark lover! I never saw the very end of Poldark on Masterpiece Theatre and always hoped it would sometime be rerun.
Port Angeles is a great place. Spent a few vacation days there years ago.

I expect to be putting in my two cents on the next Survivor show.

Welcome Shewho!!! Great to have you aboard... I just know you will enjoy being on these boards.

All Lurkers: Come aboard the Survivor Pearl Islands Cruise Ship... Strap on the Life Jackets, prepare for some Pirate Pranks... and just join in and have fun.

Lorry, Joe Schmo is scripted for everyone except Matt, the only real contestant. He thinks that everyone is a contestant but they are all actors except for him.

Two things make me a fan of that show.

1) It spoofs all reality TV and is hysterical in doing it. The challenges, the immunity robe, it's just funny as all get out.

2) The ONE guy who is real, who is NOT an actor and thinks the game is real, Matt, is one of the nicest, most decent people on the planet. The actors are all just crazy about him because he is so genuinely likable...they actually have a hard time deceiving him and go out of their way to not hurt him.

After BB4, this show was JUST what I needed.

Hi everyone. My name is Angie and I'm from Columbus Ohio. I am 35 years old with a wonderful hubby and four sons ages 14, 13, 9 and 6. I work outside the home and love reality shows, Charmed, ER and HGTV. I just came out of lurking this year during BB4 and am glad that I did.

Go Browns!!! and Buckeyes!!! (sorry I couldn't resist. :))

Hello! wave

My name is Liza, and I live in Markham, Ontario - part of the Greater Toronto Area. I am 28 years old, and waiting (as patiently as I can) to have children. I live with my darling boyfriend and two cats - Doyle & Willow, both pics are around here somewhere - in the Cat thread, and in Ruiner's folder.

I work for a very small property management company, and love what I do. Some days can be very hectic, then others, such as today, are very quiet and afford me more time to spend here. I work with a crazy lady, and have to bite my tongue a lot of the day, so I will apologize in advance for any rants that may come along.

I've been a fairly regular poster here over the last year, especially on the AI boards, and during Survivor last year. This year, I'm trying not to spoil it for myself, so I'm avoiding all spoiler threads if at all possible.

My favourite TV shows... hmmmmm... there are way too many to mention them all, but the ones that immediately jump to mind are: Survivor, CSI (both), Law & Order (all three), TAR, BB (hated it this year - hoping for better next year!).

For all you Steeler's fans - try being a Maple Leaf fan!!! ;)

It's nice to see new "faces" around here, and I look forward to meeting you all.

BTW - I was DJGirl5235, and have dropped the #'s.

BCandScott: Thanks! Sounds like my kind of show. I'm going to start watching... I think the idea is awesome... we should chat about this on the Joe Schmoe Board... I have a million questions...lol

Sweetpea: Angie, if I were a Browns Fan I would be riding through Pittsburgh and hootin and hollering at the Steeler fans myself...lol However, being a Steelers Fan... I can only say, "Yeah yeah, but you just wait till next time"...hehehehehe

DJGirl: I'm glad to see you again. Yep, Maple Leafs... I understand, I feel for you... but hey, we got to love our teams... although sometimes it's really really hard... haha

I know this is off topic, but so many have made reference in their replies to "Joe Schmoe" that I have to ask what station is this on? I have not heard of this show. Thanks in advance.

Edited to add: By the way Lorry I am gassing up my car as I write to come hootin' and hollerin'. ;)
