Folks Who Watch Big Brother or Survivor,
Folks Who Don't, & Why
A People DownStreet Survey
The Place: Bristol Village
The Question: Have you watched either Survivor or Big
Brother, and either way, why?
The Particpants: Dana Vautier, Alan & Marianne Clark, Jacquie
Werner-Gavrin, Cortney Lucia, Joe Desorda, Ryan Cousino, The Cole Family, and
Mark Johnson.
| Dana Vautier:
No. I can't say that I do watch Survivor. Actually, my
parents talked about it once, so I decided to watch it one night, and it
wasn't that interesting to me. I guess {laughs} I'd like it more if I
was on the show. Big Brother I don't know of. ... I really
don't have much time for TV anymore. I'm out of high school and working,
so it's just not as big as it was. |

Alan & Marianne Clark:
{Marianne speaking} I watch. I think it's interesting. ... |
| Jacquie Werner-Gavrin:
I haven't. I don't watch much television, so that's why. |
 |
|
|
Cortney Lucia: Yes, I watch. I just
think it's interesting. Big Brother is interesting ... But Survivor
is actually exciting. ... |
| Joe Desorda:
{Holding out a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, which he wanted to make sure
we got in the picture.} I watch it because I like reality-based
TV. ... And I like voyeurism. |

Ryan Cousino: I watched Survivor once. It was
the final one, and it was kind of weird because I hadn't watched any of
them before, so it was kind of confusing. I didn't think that I'd
really watch it again because it was kind of boring. I don't
know. There was just something about the show that turned me away
from it. I ended up switching the channel. So I don't
know. It's just not my kind of show. |
| The Cole Family:
{Mrs. Cole speaking.} Oh, God. Are we going to be advertised as Survivor
watchers? Yes, I watch. Big Brother started when he
was born {points to baby}, so it was a good way to just relax. It
was on at the right time, too, after I was done nursing. So, yes

Mark Johnson: I
don't even know what they are. Sorry. |
