幸存者：萨摩亚第十九季

　　在东南亚的中心地带，有一座古老的王国，这里的海岸线超过3000千米，但在金灿灿的海岸之外，还隐藏着一个神秘的世界，这里生活着许多神秘的生物，以及森林中的巨兽。这个国家日新月异，东西方文化交融碰撞，为了生存，这里的人们和动物团结协作，从而形成了一种特殊的关系。这是一片神圣的土地，充满了魔力与奇迹。

　　英国著名物理学家史蒂芬•霍金近日发出警告，称外星生物可能真的存在，但是人类与他们接触可能会带来毁灭性的后果。在“探索”频道新近推出的纪录片《与霍金一起了解宇宙》中，霍金指出外星生物在消耗尽自己星球上的资源后便会乘坐大型飞船到他们能够到达的星球掠夺资源，并将那里开拓成为他们的殖民地；如果有外星生物到访地球，那将会像当年意大利航海家哥伦布登陆美洲大陆一样，最后给人类带来毁灭性的灾难。
　　68岁的霍金在片中谈论了他对宇宙外星生命问题的最新思考。他认为外星生命几乎肯定存在於宇宙的许多其他地方——不仅是活在行星之上，甚至还可能存在於恒星中心，甚或是漂浮於行星间的广阔宇宙。
　　霍金认为外星人存在的理论依据，超乎寻常的「简单」。他指出，宇宙有1000亿个银河系，每个都包含上亿计恒星，在这样一个庞大空间裏，地球不大可能是唯一演化出生命的行星。「我觉得，纯粹出於数学脑筋去想，单是如此巨大的数字，就足已令『外星人存在』的想法显得完全合理。真正的挑战是，去发现外星人到底是什么样子。」
　　《与霍金一起了解宇宙》这纪录片耗3年多制作，期间霍金曾多次坚持对剧本作大幅修改。Discovery执行制作人史密森（John Smithson）说：「他希望能制作一个既能娱乐大众、又能娱乐科学界的节目，考虑到其复杂性，这是一项很难的工作。」(简介转自Dexter)

　　该季本应在2020年9月首映，但由于新冠病毒因素，世界范围的旅行限制，斐济对非公民关闭了边境，最终推迟在2021年春季，制作被搁置了整整一年。本季于2021年9月22日在美国哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）和加拿大环球电视台（Global）首映。与往季不同，通常39天的赛制被缩短到26天。

　　This show is quite possibly the biggest waste of videotape, electricity, and RF bandwidth in the 70+ year history of television. It's nothing but 60 minutes of some of the worst bile that can come out of human beings, male or female. Basically, it's nothing but pure bitchy, catty, c*nty, vile harpiness among the contestants, judges, and the fashionistas (or should I say fashionazis). Typically a lot of insulting, backbiting, and bitchy, unnecessarily anal-retentive criticism.
　　The thing that gets me about the show is how much the judges and fashionazis (and the pretentious & shallow fashion industry in general) nit-pick against the equally bitchy contestants about little, petty, trivial, frivolous, anal-retentive things about their appearance, personality, etc. Things that the *REAL* people in this world (which the fashion industry lacks, thankfully) wouldn't give rat's ass number 1 about. (Myself included.)
　　Crap like: "Oh, your left eyebrow is a yoctometer off center. That isn't gonna fly, and nobody will take you seriously in this industry because of it!" Or, "You're breathing wrong. Good luck with winning this competition." I'm just kidding here, but they usually end up saying things almost exactly like this on this show.
　　If getting into the fashion industry is this hard, painful, bitchy, insulting, nit-picky, catty, backstabbing, and anal-retentive as this show tries to portray, than thank the good Lord that He made me all fat, balding, hairy, and dumpy-frumpy-dowdy-frowsy-geeky-lookin', because I would never want to be required to have the caustic bitchiness and anal, pretentious attitude of any model or fashionazi (or any fashion industry worker), namely the people on this show.
　　And Janice Dickinson, mercy, do not get me started on her...
　　This show needs to die. It's this show (and many other "reality" shows like it) that proves that competitiveness (and the fashion industry) is truly the devil's tool...
