Looks like there’s a battle of the sexes tonight, as all preview videos indicate the cavemen are going to start ordering the cavewomen around. Not sure considering the current state of the nation if that plan will go down smoothly, but with Survivor being a single Petri dish in a broader experiment, maybe that kind of thing will fly.
The preview video I saw showed Missy telling Baylor to just “shut up and take it,” which is either:
A: bad parenting
B: questionable advice from someone who’s been thrice divorced
C: good reality show advice
I think the verdict is still out one this one, but let’s see where things stand in 56 minutes of show time…
But before we get started, I wanted to run something by you. In the interest of trying to do SOMETHING DIFFERENT than every other blogger out there, I was thinking about pulling together some questions to ask a former player. I’ve gotten enough interest/looks/tweets from a few ex-players so I hope to be able to get responses from them. (Who knows? Maybe they’ll see it as an opportunity as well…)
Because as a fan, there are always questions that run through my mind during each episode, but I never have a way of asking. Probst doesn’t seem to be the kind of guy to respond to a fan’s tweet, and he doesn’t have an email address that’s readily available. No worries, we’ll go the next best route, the players who actually played the game.
So please, send me any questions you have and I’ll try to put something “formal” together. I’m not really into doing the podcast thing like Cesternino, so maybe a simple tweet session would accomplish the same. I’m confident you folks know enough about the show, and are inquisitive enough to have a few questions, so please send them my way and I’ll do what we can to get some answers. Anything is on the table! Hell, off the top of my head, I’m thinking…
“Where do you poop?”
“Do the women tweeze?”
“Is there a designated area to where contestants can relieve themselves from being ‘king/queen of the castle?’”
You know, stupid s**t that no one ever talks about but we’re all thinking. I have a few other questions in mind, but let’s see what you guys come up with. I’ve been receiving some really great emails and comments lately, so I know you’re savvy enough to come up with some good questions. The more outlandish the better!
Besides Kim Kardashian’s missing vagina (seriously, shouldn’t you be able to see a woman’s hooha when she’s standing up?!) there’s not much to discuss so let’s get right to it. Pull up a laptop and let’s recap this bitch! No, I’m not calling you a bitch, that would be disrespectful to women, and guys like me, and Alec, would never be disrespectful to women, right…?
I guess the biggest question from last week is “what’s going to happen to Keith’s Immunity Necklace since Julie’s quitting took his immunity away?” I would assume that he’d be able to retain that immunity for another Tribal, since the necklace is supposed to protect you from a VOTE, but this show has a way of taking the obvious decision and justifying something else. I think it’d be unfair to just take it back from him, since EVERYONE benefitted (to a degree) from Julie quitting. I can picture Jeff arriving at the next Immunity Challenge and telling Keith,
“Well, since Julie went home that means YOU didn’t go home. Hence, you were protected for the vote and you have to give me back the Immunity Necklace…”
“What in the dadgum hell does ‘hence’ mean…?”
Wouldn’t surprise me if the show pulled that, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed they have a bit more integrity. Let’s just get to the episode and see what crap Jeff pulls this week…
“Previously on…Survivor!”
The Merge. Two Alliances. 5 vs. 5. A Power Couple in the Middle. Jeremy’s going home. What? Julie’s a quitter! Jeremy is playing on borrowed time!
Day 19, at the Huyopa camp, and the fallout from Julie’s departure is weighing on everyone. No, actually everyone seems pretty chill about it except for Missy, who’s all, “Are you serious?” and “WTF?!” Missy was ready to vote off some Josh, but you can’t do that until you actually GET to Tribal. Little did she know that Jonclyn (Jon & Jaclyn) were actually ready to flip and take out Jeremy, so the aftermath of Julie’s quitting is still being felt.
Hello Mr. Fish! As always, I savor your recaps like a fine wine and read them slooowly and enjoy every morsel. Yummy. Ok, enough of that. So Missy was surprised that Julie left? Well gee Missy, saying to someone who is upset,”Just stay one more night, just one more night” doesn’t exactly give anyone the warm fuzzies. Even Julie the brainiac could figure out how little you cared. Honestly, I wish Julie had stayed (so Mr. Fishy could get one more BOOB shot) and had voted exactly opposite of how Missy wanted her to vote. That would have been a better FU to her mean tribe! Oh well. I’m flip flopping on Jeremy. I liked him, then thought he acted like a baby about Rocker and his wife, but now I like him again. My 10 year old son loves him. Jon is super annoying and just a little bit too pleased with himself. He really does look like a cartoon superhero character. Hey, thanks for using “Jonclyn”. Yeah, the show is kind of boring. Even Natalie isn’t annoying enough to be interesting. Oh well. It would have been more exciting to see Wes puke. Maybe Reed will get bitchy next week? I know what ya mean about TAR also. Kind of ho hum. I like the surfers but they are so mellow, their voices sort of lull me to sleep.
Why did they keep showing the underarm hair on Jaclyn? Can we get back to her other features.
Not sure why this season seems so boring. Is it because it I missing the completely bat-sh!+, person?
Plus no showmances, maybe Missy can target Keith as future ex number 4.
Ha! Both of you. Love the comments. Let’s dive in…
(kinb) Glad you’re still drinking my Kool-aid! Documents will arrive shortly where you name me your beneficiary! Just sign on the dotted line…! Not sure Missy “got” that Julie just wanted out. She (Missy) was clearly blinded by the goals of her alliance and not reality. Whatev… And, uh, yeah, having Julie stick around a bit longer would have made me, um, happy… 😉 I’m liking Jeremy more now, too. He’s the only one who isn’t annoying me in some way. Everyone else is doing it wrong so it doesn’t bode well for the end. Hopefully, it’ll be Jeremy vs. Keith and Wes and it’ll be a blowout… Yeah, TAR is ho-hum. Dentists are freaks, cyclists are cool, surfers are kinda dumb (and I hate that), wrestlers are idiots, scientists are too dorky to like, “the gays” are too bitchy. So I guess I’m getting behind the cyclists, specifically Kym (whoa!).
(doc) Funny, I noticed Baylor’s pits but not Jaclyn’s. Maybe I don’t wanna notice her pits…? Either way, let’s see more boob shots! And whatever happened to girls showing nudity on Survivor? Did Heidi ruin it for everyone? Or maybe it’s Tyson’s fault…? And, while I’m no fan of batshizz crazy players, I see what you mean. As you know, I hate players like X’XXX, but there’s gotta be a way to bring something “extra” to the show without throwing rice into the fire. Why doesn’t someone go off the rails and strip down and climb a mountain? Body surf in the buff, nude coconut picking?! IDK, show me some blur and let’s have some fun! Speaking of, I don’t wanna see Missy and Keith, I wanna see her pull a Dawson and stick her tongue in Probst’s ear… That would be rich!
