For some reason (and I am being completely serious here), these numbers DO matter to me. I want Survivor to kick Friends' ass. I quit watching Friends when Survivor moved to Thursdays back in the Australian series. I haven't look back since. I want every show to continue to do well so we can have Survivor on TV until I'm old and blind and can't see it anymore.
