Anyone else catch the show?

I'm amazed at how easily 8 contestants will put themselves into an antagonistic mode, trying to think up witty mean things to say in order to show up (or play along with) the host. It reminds me of the time I saw a stage hypnotist and I volunteered to go on stage. I wasn't hypnotized at all, but I went along as if I were because I didn't want to be embarrassed or embarrass the hypnotist. I remember thinking maybe that's all it was. People would quack or run around like a dog because nobody wanted to be that guy who wrecked it for everyone else.

Anyhow, I enjoyed the show, though I'm glad I can TiVo it, so I can cut out the whiny 'they kicked me off because they were threatened by my intellectual prowess' speeches.

I'm really looking forward to Ernie (of SurvivorBlog and SurvivorBlog 2 fame) taking a break from his job search to put on The Weakest Blog.
