Mister Fanboy Television Commentary: My Love For Bad TV Just Got Very Embarrassing -- Quick Let Me Share It With You

Mister Fanboy Television joins us today to get something off his chest. Quite frankly, I'd be too ashamed to admit this in public, but here goes.

As I've told you before, my love for bad TV knows no bounds. Rollergirls. Survivor. So You Think You Can Dance? Mr. Belvedere. And the list goes on and on and on.

So today. I noticed a time-wasting quiz on the LA Times where I could test my Survivor knowledge. Since I was at work and not on my own time, I took the quiz. I got 100%. Random questions from the umpteen seasons and I got them all right. Don't believe me? Gaze below at the heights of my embarrassment. Revel in the fact that you have more of a life than I. Try the quiz yourself here. Now I will be go to the gym to hit the sauna to sweat out the ickiness I feel ... or watch this old episode of Three's Company. Not too sure.

The 'Survivor' Challenge

The new season of "Survivor," premiering Thursday night on CBS, has already stirred up controversy with the announcement that the competing "tribes" will initially be split along racial and cultural lines. Critics say the "Cook Islands" installment is insensitive and a blow to diversity. Host Jeff Probst says, "Wow!" upon realizing that not all Asians are the same. Whatever. Still, it's not like this is the first time the show has had people talking over the past 12 seasons. It has had its share of shocks, surprises and water cooler chatter - both on-screen and off. How much of that do you remember? To see if you're a true fan, take this "Survivor" challenge. Click on the person you think is the correct answer to each question.
