Most Extreme Elimination Challenge is now an inter-species hit. One of my wife’s co-workers report that his two cats are avid fans of MXC. Apparently, whenever they hear the distinctive sounds of horrible injuries and the crypto-obscenity of Kenny Blankenship and Vic Romano’s commentary, they sprint for the couch and fight for their favorite viewing spots.

Once can only imagine what they’re thinking. “Oh, how entertaining it is to watch the two-legged food providers maim themselves!”

This sign of intelligence almost, but not quite, forces me to reconsider my position that housecats are foul creatures of darkness.
