[QUOTE=Push You Down] Yes of course I bashed people who watch the show.. I called them idiots and fools. Oh wait.. I didn’t. I was snarky. Last time I checked was still allowed. [/QUOTE] Well, it’s in keeping with your user name, so, good for you! ---

Holy crap, **Liberal**. I thought I liked the show. You have this down to a science. I just hope you never meet my wife. Instant hatred guaranteed. 🙂 OLN Starts Survivor Guatemala tonight. Was it good? (please don’t spoil it for me). They show 3 shows per night. A big commitment. ---

Not my favorite, really. But it had some great moments, especially early on. ---

**Liberal** , great synopsis and much appreciated from us cheapo dialup users. [QUOTE=Push You Down] I did find it hilarious and some-what satisfying that the average episode of “Arrested Development” got higher ratings than the season finale of the last round of Survivor. [/QUOTE] Your bullshit claim is, unsurprisingly, completely full fo shit. [Survivor Cook Islands finale wins the night, but the series continues to lose viewers](http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/survivor_cook_islands/2006_Dec_19_finale_ratings) > [@](#): > > The finale of Survivor Cook Islands, the best season in a long time, was watched by 16.4 million viewers, making it the highest-rated show on Sunday night. [FOX President: ‘Arrested Development’ Was Never in Danger](http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271%7C88380%7C1%7C,00.html) > [@](#): > > To the network’s credit, the audience figures for “Arrested Development” would never have been enough to justify a renewal under other circumstances. Its average viewership was 6.18 million. [Die-hard ‘Arrested Development’ fans already feeling sting of loss](http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/11/14/DDG4NFMUAI1.DTL) > [@](#): > > ratings were not good, settling in at roughly 4 million viewers compared with about 6 million, on average, the last season. Either year you measure it, not good. Arrested Development never even _dreamed_ of ratings as good as Survivor’s worst. When you want to threadshit in the future, try making your bullshit claims at least remotely plausible.
