Back at camp, she did apologize to her tribe, and took responsibility for losing the challenge. She said she was embarrassed, and even said that if she were her tribe, she would vote her out for her performance at the challenge. While she’s with Dawson, sulking on their bed, Jeff Kent is out working a deal to steal Denise onto their alliance, strengthening their numbers to 4. And, this is why Dawson’s (Creek) and Katie (Holmes) were never meant to be together/win, because they weren’t smart enough to solidify the bond with Denise, and get her over to their side. She would have said yes to the first person who came to her, just being excited enough that she wasn’t the one going home! Also, Dawson stupidly beats around the bush with Jeff Kent, about being a professional baseball player, making his decision even easier on who to vote out. He wants to play this game incognito, and you stand in the way of him doing that. I’m pretty sure that is going to have you packing your bags and walking on down that path to the hotel, wishing you hadn’t sucked so bad.
Did Katie wear that dress onto the beach? I don’t remember seeing her in a dress during the first episode. Maybe I missed it because all they really showed was them in their bathing suits and whatnot, but I’m always baffled by the clothes people bring to the island. I know I got an article from a reader once that talked about how they don’t get to choose their own clothing, but why would the producers make her wear a dress, anyway? It’s not like they’re going out on a night on the town. They’re living in a jungle, what is she going to do with a dress?!?
Anyway, Dawson gets sent back to the Creek, but before she goes, she provides us with what might be the most awkward moment in the history of Survivor. While Jeff was snuffing out her torch, I was weirded out by her staring at him, but then she even took it to the nextest level by beginning to walk past him, but then cutting sharply to her right in order to kiss him on the cheek and then hug him…and hold that hug for an awkwardly too-long time. It was just strange. Before that happened, my wife mentioned that she should have yelled out that Jeff Kent was a former professional baseball player, but after the stare-down, kiss, and then hug, I don’t think anyone would have believed her crazy @ss. Jeff could have played that one off easily.
Oh, and if that wasn’t awkward enough, she now thinks Jeff Kent is going to buy her a motorcycle, helmet, and pink gun if he wins the $1 million! Uh, yes, I’m sure that is what he is going to do with the money. It’s all going to go to you. Although, if I’m Jeff, and I win, I may actually buy the crazy b*tch the motorcycle, since she’ll probably come kill my @ss if I didn’t!!
I will end by thanking all of you who have made the jump with me over to http://tvonthedaily.com/. If you haven’t checked it out, I beg of you to please go and do so. And, if you have checked it out and didn’t like what you saw, I ask you to stick it out and keep checking back, because I will be making changes as time goes on. It is in no way a finished product. I’m working on several ideas as we speak and also working on design, formatting, and other techie stuff I know nothing about, as well. So, come on over and read my thoughts on today’s “hottest” tv shows, even if you do think my point of view is douche-y. I’d appreciate it.
See you there,

Hi! Just wanted to drop in and tell you I love your recaps! I think your really funny and I look forward to reading your blogs each week. I will be checking out your website and I am sure I will love that just as much. Nothing wrong with a little raunchy humor, doesn’t make you a douche… did you ever hear back from that poster who called you that? Anyway – keep up the good work!
Great recap – I laughed so hard when you mentioned Katie and the cookies!
OK, I’ll admit that I’m now actually interested in continuing to follow the show. I feel an affinity with Denise. She’s a strong competitor and keeps herself low-key – no drama, no tears, no stupid comments.
The good thing about having Malcolm and Denise each joining one of the remaining tribes is that we’ll finally start getting to know those tribe members better.
OK, OK, Scott. Stop begging! I’ll check out your tvonthedaily site!
Cheers to my fellow survivor fans!
I can’t figure out how to e-mail you but please let me break this down for you, I used “douche” as a term of endearment. Me and all my friends use it, “You look great douche!” “Douche are those new shoes?” See? Okay, that’s not true I don’t really use the douche as a term of endearment and I used it in my comment with the intent to be funny. Funny fail; however, I do like you, but I don’t like tomatoes, and I find your writing witty and intelligent. I apologize for the unfunny.
Great recap! I also laughed out loud at “COOKIES”!
I assume when most people leave the game they just watch their torch get snuffed and then walk out, but I wonder if any shake hands with Jeff, hug him (not awkwardly), etc..but it just ends up on the cutting room floor? What a weird exit for Dawson!
Regarding Katie’s dress…I read a few years ago that the contestants are required to wear attire from their “everyday lives”. I always wondered prior to knowing that why people would not wear layers or even long sleeves.
Your doctor story reminded me of a terrible joke that may not be a joke at all, but a true story of someone who visited your same doctor…
What did the doctor say when the patient said, “It hurts when I lift my arm”?
-Don’t lift your arm
Thank you brady6, I appreciate you reading and thinking I’m that funny! Best part about that is that I AM THAT F*CKING FUNNY!!
FanOfSteve, either you change your name to FanOfScott and start begging all of your friends to come visit my site on a daily basis, or I don’t think I can consider us friends anymore.
susieduck, I’m glad you at least reached out, even if it wasn’t through email. I make the same mistake you make ALL the time, thinking people who read my emails/blogs/texts are able to hear my sarcasm through that text! I get myself in trouble too often with people for that same reason, so I completely understand. I will take you calling me a douche as a badge of honor!!
As for you, beaner, I laughed just reading your name!!
But … but … SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!! I chose my username before you ever started blogging!
Now what am I gonna do?!
*SOB!*
[Did you enjoy the drama?]
You are hilarious – crack me up!
I’m glad they didn’t vote out Denise – she deserves to stay around. I hope she can hang on for awhile.
Who the heck is Dawson? I don’t think I ever heard her name before – Katie either. We really needed this so we could learn something about the other tribes.
Great recap Scott!
