Is there a Russian "Survivor" TV show??

[Josh Wilson]

No, I'm saying she's a joke. 

Many young female viewers, fans of her main show, Dom 2, may look to her
with some respect, but most male viewers think she's a joke. I'm not sure
you can call her a sex symbol in any way in this country - in spite of a
couple of "soft" men's magazines shoots and quite a few photoshopped images
of her head cropped onto pornography floating around the backwaters of the
Internet. 

In terms of physical appearance, I think the most common reference you'll
find to her online is "loshad'". For some time on Poslediy Geroy, she went
with a sort of primal, minimal-makeup, dreadlock-style-braids look that made
her really quite frightful...

Are you saying she's gorgeous? She's pleasant enough to look at, but I 
wouldn't drive my car into a tree if I saw her on the street...

Of course, standards of beauty vary from culture to culture.
