Super excited to be bringing you tonight’s column for a number of reasons. May I share?

One, it’s Survivor, and I’m always in a good mood on Wednesday nights.

Two, wifey brought home a bottle of Grey Goose for me (and Magic Mike on Blu-Ray for her and locked me out of the bedroom) so I’m free to write the recap…

And three, and most importantly, I think I’m going to the Survivor finale! Shhhh….don’t tell anyone.

I don’t want to jinx it so I’m not going to say any more. As mentioned, I’ve worked in Hollywood for a spell and know how things can go, so I’m not 100% certain I’ll be able to attend. But, considering how I got screwed last season, I definitely think I’m owed a night out…

And of course the wife doesn’t do Survivor, so it looks like I’ve got a “+1” to fill! Hmmm…I wonder if Corinne is free that night…?

That’ll definitely never happen – for more reasons than we have time for here – so I … Continue reading →

The home stretch of Survivor: Second Chance is rapidly approaching as there are only 2 episodes left before the epic 2-hour finale. I’m still holding on I’ll be able to attend the event, but that’s only if certain things align and certain people come through as promised. We’ll see.

Tonight, we have a regular old 60 minute episode, and according to Jeff Probst, it’s going to be amazeballs. We’ll take his word on it. This season HAS been one of the more memorable ones – certainly better than the last 3 seasons – but it got me thinking. It takes a lot to be a superfan of Survivor. You have to watch the shows (duh). Check out the Ponderosa videos (some good insight there). Read a few exit interviews to see what the booted player was thinking when they got their fanny handed to them (maybe one or two). And if you’re das Überfan, you might even drop some comments, tweets, vote for the Hall of Fame, check in on forums, or even host a … Continue reading →

The Night Before Thanksgiving column is always an interesting one. Not only does it mean we can sleep in tomorrow, but it also means we can reflect on how thankful we are for the good things in life. Currently, for me, that isn’t a lot, but I am thankful that I get to write these recaps, so I’m going to pour all of my heart and soul into tonight’s column.

Yes, because with a big double episode of Survivor, that means:

-double the fun -double the eliminations -double the work -double the editing -oh f**k, double the missed sleep!

But wait! RealitySteve came to the rescue and let me know he’s out of town so there’s not much chance this column is going up on Thanksgiving. Hell yes. I’m gonna take my sweet time, enjoy the episode(s), and try to catch every typo that typically find their way into my recaps. No promises, but this could be the best column ever…

Or, since I’m already on my second highball, this could end up being a … Continue reading →
