I thought about this topic a bit more last night. The things that made the show fascinating (at least for me) were the similarities with the corporate world (with politics, deceit, people forming alliances to obtain and wield power, etc.). Which was something that I always found confusing, particularly the deceit.

In the corporate world, I never understood why people were unwilling to speak their thoughts. I never understood why people’s actions didn’t match their words. I found the situation quite confusing and frustrating. It dawned upon me immediately, that the working world was simply a game of Survivor.

I personally could never succeed in Survivor. First, I am not physically adept (so, I would be a big ZERO in the physical challenges). Second, I am not good at forming relationships. Third, I a terrible at deceit (and always speak my mind).

Maybe this is why I am also not very good in the corporate world either. LOL.

Actually, if that autistic makes it onto the show I will be watching it every week, I suspect that we might be reaching a tipping point, where, as a group, NTs are ready to be educated about autistics, maybe even ready to admire some of them. Of course, as usual, they will unfortunately then need a new group of people to demonize and treat as "less than.' I think though, they might be getting seriously bored with designating us as number one scapegoat.

Do they allow cannibalism?

Sign me up if they do.


It wouldn't surprise me if they did. I feel I should warn you though, the consumption of human flesh by other humans has been known to cause Kuru, an incurable neurodegenerative brain disease caused by prions in the deceased flesh. I would not recommend such a practise as cannibalism for health reasons.
