Today's Question(s):
The TV series Survivor Game Changers ended Wednesday evening.
Have you been following the show Survivor this or any season? Not Survivor, but the Blacklist,so many and binging since I got my Roku stick

Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV
game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not? Well I'd go there if I didn't have to do anything.

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win? I don't think one exists.


Bonus:
A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching
re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on
something, after not liking it before, and if so what? Prison Break, I was on, then off, then on again.


Foodie Questions:
Part way through Wednesday I noticed everything I'd eaten so far had a name that began
with the same letter. So just for fun if you could only eat foods beginning with
the letter B for one day, what would you have for:
-Breakfast? Bacon and eggs
-Lunch? Broccoli Salad with bacon
-Dinner? Baked beans
-Snacks? Butter cookies
-Drinks? Baileys


Just for more fun:
Whether people you knew closely spoke them or not, what languages did you hear spoken as a kid? Not till Jr. High, spanish.

Have you been following the show Survivor this or any season? Not heard of it I'm afraid

Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV
game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not? YES absolutely! Because win, lose or draw I'd still come away with a " million dollar " sun tan!

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win? I think I'd have a great chance at winning a " last man standing " type of contest with drinking/partying/engaging for days on end! .... Sure I may need a new liver and a stomach pump but that million should help with that!


Bonus:
A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching
re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on
something, after not liking it before, and if so what? The only one you would know over that side of the pond was " Miami vice ".... When I was a kid my mum was watching an old video ( you know why " Ohhhh Don Johnson! " LOL ) and I didn't like it, then much later in life I watched it out of pure boredom as it was on the telly and LOVED it!! And I went out and bought the DVD collection the same day

-Dinner? Biryani ( Indian dish )
-Snacks? Bounty ( chocolate bar )
-Drinks? Beer ( yes I agreed that all worked out in the end )


Just for more fun:
Whether people you knew closely spoke them or not, what languages did you hear spoken as a kid? Heard many but English was the only one I understood along with ( bad/naughty ) sign language!

Never saw a single episode.

Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV
game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not?


No, nor a studio set inside a building. I don't want the million dollars and I'm not an in front of the camera type.

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win?

Some type of subject specific trivia. I usually do well with music and movies and TV before 1995 questions, history, literature, US geography and questions about people.

A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching
re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on
something, after not liking it before, and if so what?


More likely to go the other way.

Have you been following the show Survivor this or any season? I guess I've never seen that show.

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win? I have no idea.


Bonus:
A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on something, after not liking it before, and if so what? Can't think of anything like that on TV.
