Now that the fireman and lumberjack competitions are no longer on ESPN, poker IS the crapfest of reality sports shows.

Our opinions differ. I believe that distinction belongs to fishing competitions. Close behind fishing would be those bizarre Wide World of Sports "quarterback challenge" type shows.

I would watch Survivor if they would do something worthwhile. Any jerk-off can hold a statue to get "immunity" or hang on poles over a swimming pool (which is what they were doing last week while I was in the gym and was stuck watching). This was the only time I have ever watched, and it was under duress.

Send all those contestants to someplace where life is very hard, and have them build schools, or hospitals, or dig clean water wells, or fix roads.

I can think of no reason, not even eye candy, to watch The Bachelor. I don't need to. The office staff is addicted.

I like Survivor. I'm even rooting for Rob, the Red Sux fan. How bizarro is that!

Umm... the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Championship.

I have a weird soft spot for the hot dog contest. It cracks me up.

My long nightmare has been coverage of the Will and Kate wedding. I'm so uninterested, and can't seem to escape it.

I'd rather hear another month of that than another word about the fucking NFL Draft. I think draft coverage is even worse this year.

Oh, I'm just getting started.

See the Snark thread.

I figure the wedding will provide many snark opportunities.

Poker was on NBC last night!

And Wills and Kate are on television around the clock! Tea Time somewhere! and TEE Time somewhere, also! For the Golfers!

My current fear is that I'll go into labor on Thursday night/Friday morning, and the wedding will be the only thing on TV for distraction. (Thank god for Netflix.....)

I'm no fan of the NFL Draft, or any of the current NFL headlines but those can be avoided far more easier than coverage of the wedding.

I'd prefer to do without both. I'm going to go dig a hole and pour some concrete. That sounds like more fun.

I won't be joining it. I'm getting up to watch it at 4:00 a.m. My royal subject friend and I will eat scones and drink sweet tea while wearing tiars and our best nightgowns.

I love this wedding!

I'm not Royal Wedding-obsessed, but it is interesting to me, and it is a big deal. 950 years of history are not to be dismissed lightly.

I just want to see the dress...I have a feeling it will be spectacular. I think Kate has the maturity, style and sense to pick the right dress to wear...in contrast to Diana whose dress absolutely wore her...I often wondered if Diana regret wearing that beast of a dress when she was older and had developed some style.

I have one point of interest...the $80,000 cake.

That's gotta be a killer sumbeach!
