I just read at the Survivor Newsgroup that Australia was allowed to also vote for last night. So, that's the U.S.A, Canada & Australia...pretty cool!

I thought this was cute... Alison, Littlest Fan Of Gentlest Giant By ANDREW McGINN, Springfield News-Sun 5/8/2004 The tie-dyed shirt? Oh, it's a cute little tribute, for sure. But if Allison McFarling starts longing to have that Grizzly Adams-at-the-Love-In look, mom and dad should step in. You see, she's only 4 - and, girl or not, an uber-thick beard would look just a teeny bit silly on a pre-schooler. Still, McFarling can't seem to get enough of Rupert Boneham, one of four contestants going into today's finale of "Survivor: All-Stars." She's not alone, with good reason. The Hoosier might look like a cattle rustler, but with that heart of gold, he's actually the kind of gentle creature you could find at any random Crosby, Stills and Nash gig. In fact, ever since the teen mentor from Indy first surfaced on TV, via CBS' "Survivor: Pearl Islands" late last year, McFarling hasn't missed an episode. But what separates her from the rest of the "Survivor" nation is her age. "For a kid who's only 4, it's unheard of," her father, Scott, marveled. "To be in love with a caveman is unheard of." "You're a cavey-man, Dad," Allison shot back, one of few audible statements she uttered before shyness crept in. Admittedly, Allison, born the year before the reality series premiered, conks out during most evening shows, dad said. Except "Survivor." And "JAG." And most of what's on HGTV. "She's a 'CSI' freak, too. I don't know what that says, but she's a highly intelligent child," as Scott McFarling put it. So how did this all start, you ask? Like that old anti-drug PSA, she learned it by watching them. Mom, Beth, was a "Survivor" junkie from the get-go. "The first time, she liked to watch everybody race. Then she liked the guy in the colored shirt, Rupert. She turned and said, 'He's a nice man, isn't he?' Now she tells everybody at school that Rupert is her boyfriend," Beth said. With Grizzly as her man, life couldn't have been better. But one tribal council proved too much for the 4-year-old. Scott: "All of a sudden, she was screaming bloody murder." Beth: "My husband came running into the room." Scott: "It was because he got voted off." Beth: "She insisted we go to his house." Allison settled for writing her fallen hero. It took some time, but a reply - and a signed photo - finally did show up. She returns the favor by usually running up and planting a peck on the screen whenever the 40-year-old appears. And just what exactly does she see in a guy dad calls a caveman? "He's nice and cute and has a cool shirt," Beth said. Tie-dye. If only it were that simple to get a girlfriend.

Wouldn't it be a hoot, if Survivor stayed on the air long enough for her to grow up and become a competitor on the show.

Off subject, I know, but I didn't let my 12 yr. old watch CSI. 4 is way too young for CSI and the constant swearing (especially by Rupert) on Survivor. I'm glad she got a photo from Rupert.

Regarding a 4 year old watching CSI. Some of the wound and crime scene pictures & re-enactments are pretty darn graphic! How about that rollercoaster ride of death? Nope, would not let my 4 yr old (if I had one) watch that show. At least the swear words on Survivor are bleeped out. 'squeek'

I don’t recall much swearing on Survivor and I don’t think it is much of an issue. I have two lovely little girls (five and three) and they happened to know a couple of swear words. However, they have been taught that it’s not good to use swear words and they don’t use them when they speak. However, at this point in their little lives, I don’t see how I could possibly explain a show like CSI. It’s funny how some people get so offended by swearing and nudity but don’t seem to be offended by violence. I’d much rather try to explain Richard Hatch than CSI.

Oh...I really should add that I agree 200% about the violence versus nudity, swearing thing. Being desensitized to violence is by far the worst and letting children watch, beginning with cartoons at an early age, to me, does far worse damage than seeing a naked bum or hearing the odd swear word. Cheers, Jim!

I’m happy to hear that some other people feel as I do with respect to this. And ... thank you for the very nice compliment. I love being a Dad – it’s the most wonderful thing that I've ever experienced.

Wow, you're gonna love it, Buggles. Funny but since the boys are all grown, things like Christmas, Hallowe'en, Easter...just aren't as much fun. It was them enjoying it all, that made is such fun. Lucky you, that you have it all ahead of ya still.

Yeah, well I remember seeing the Zapruder tape of JFK getting his head blown off at least 20 times before I ever went to Kindergarten - at least they can honestly tell the 4 year old that CSI is fake.

True, Alison! Oh Buggles...I am one of those very rare people who's not looking forward to grandparenthood. Fortunately, none of my sons are interested in making me a grandma any time soon...lol ;)
