Survivor Season 32 Premieres This Wednesday #Survivor

The CBS Emmy Award-winning reality series Survivor is returning for its 32nd Season with a special 90-minute premiere "I'm A Mental Giant" on Wednesday, February 17th 8/7c.

Filmed on the island Kaôh Rōng in Cambodia, this spring edition of the hit show features 18 new castaways who will compete against each other for the most grueling 39 days in Survivor history. The contestants will be divided into three tribes of six around the theme "Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty.” Under the harsh conditions and the relentless weather in the location, all castaways will compete to outwit, outplay, outlast and ultimately be crowned Sole Survivor. Do you believe certain characteristics of the players (e.g. brute strength, looks or smarts) will help him or her will the game of Survivor? Follow the new season to test your theory.

CBS New Reality Show "The Briefcase" Premieres Tonight! #TheBriefcase

What would you do if you were given $100,000 and 72 hours to decide whether to keep the money or to give part, or all of it away to another family in need? That's the tough situation the families are faced with in CBS new reality show "The Briefcase", which is set to premiere today at 8-9pm ET/PT. Tune in the show tonight to find out how each family reaches their final decisions.

Each week, two hard-working American families who are experiencing financial setbacks will each be presented with a briefcase containing $101,000. They get to spend the $1,000 any way they want, and have 72 hours to learn details about each other’s challenging circumstances and make a potentially life-changing decision about what to do with the remaining $100,000.

What the families didn't know, however, is that the family with whom they are considering sharing this financial windfall received an identical briefcase with the same instructions. Throughout their journeys, relationships within both families will be tested and beliefs questioned as they find out what really matters most in their lives, and how much importance they place on values such as love, generosity, compassion and faith.

I was given the opportunity to preview the premiere episode. I have been on an emotional roller coaster as much as the families were in the show. Tears couldn't help running down my cheeks as the families struggle to weigh their own needs against those of the other family. I can't possibly imagine what I would do if I were in their shoes, but I do realize how lucky I am to have everyone in my family happy and healthy even though we are not financially well-off. I don't want to give away too many spoilers. What I can say is that the ending is both surprising and heartwarming.
