By Emerald Pellot

The CW has picked up a new reality series based off the Hunger Games. I know, I know - sigh. The show will feature 12 teams of two who will be dropped into the wilderness without any food or shelter.

They’ll have to use their wits and survival skins to capture (not kill) each other. Wasn’t the whole point of the Hunger Games to comment on the nature of television and reality television. How we sensationalize violence and degradation for entertainment? How we’re a culture that exploits children for a few thrills? Oh wells. No irony here, people. Move along, ain’t nothin’ to see. The show is called “The Hunt” but presumably no one will actually be harmed.

As someone who is totally obsessed with Survivor, even after 20+ seasons, I’ll have to tune into this one. Will you be watching?

    Women are cheating all over the place, nowadays! (Rimes/Cibrian, Coco/IceT, Kristen Stewart, Rita Ora, Petraeus women).

    My latest book, "I Steal Wives: A serial adulterer reveals the REAL reasons more and more 'happily married' women are cheating" is a powerful look at this EXPLOSIVE topic of female infidelity. Research shows its not only on the rise, but rivals or EXCEEDS that of male cheating. And the REAL reasons aren't the typical blather you hear on talk-TV or read in the SECOND-HAND information of some psychologist's self-help book.

    It'll rock your world! Truly, you will never see relationships the same way again! You'll see them much more clearly.

    This book is the FIRST BOOK EVER WRITTEN on female infidelity from the FIRST-HAND experience of a serial adulterer, who cheated with the wives/girlfriends of over 25 married men (and a few women), and who also happens to be a therapist (never cheated with clients) and has an eye for patterns in behavior, but more importantly, the core beliefs that drive behavior! The deep and powerful insights of this book will startle women and shock men! And here’s a tip: Cheating always, always, always boils down to the exact same reason at the core: FEAR!

    "I Steal Wives" is a salacious, self-deprecating, at times funny, and penetratingly insightful look into what is now the very cutting-edge of relationships. It's the relationship version of "How to Secure Your House, as told by a professional burglar!" It will forever change how you do relationships and view life!

    Check it out now at Amazon and Barnes and Noble!! It's VERY POPULAR! People are loving it and it's selling FAST!
