SURVIVOR: BLOOD VS WATER 2

My mind is spinning because I’m trying to guess what’s going to happen tonight. Will Natalie get emotional when she sees Nadiya is gone? (guaranteed) Is Rocker going to find out that Julie is snuggling up to someone else? (I heard a rumor) Is Wes going to quit the show? (Damn you, Twitter!) And is anyone going to figure out what those markings on the well mean and discover a hidden immunity idol? (probably tonight)

Per my routine, I tuned off Twitter at 5pm tonight, lest I see any spoiling tweets from fans back east. Plus, I saw that Probst was going to be live tweeting, so I really wanted to stay away. I like to watch my Survivor unfettered, so each twist and turn is revealed to me like a new flavor to Violet Beauregarde.

But I did see that Probst is tweeting for fans to send in their applications and videos, so it looks like they’re either casting for Season 30, or quite possibly Season 31, since there are rumors that Season 30 … Continue reading

SURVIVOR: BLOOD VS WATER 2

Welcome back, folks, for Season 28 of Survivor, aka The Greatest Show in the History of Television. I’m Bryan Fischer and I’m back (thanks to Reality Steve!) to offer up one of the more – R-rated – recaps. For those of you who are new to my column, I provide a slightly more adult look at the show we all love to watch (…or is it more juvenile…?) Whatevs, I realize many of you are huge fans of the show, just like I am, so I do try to respect that fact and provide an insightful, snarky, and humorous take on the show that takes over our Wednesdays.

And judging by the action in the Twitterverse today (Wednesday), there are a shit-ton of folks looking forward to tonight’s episode! Okay, I get it, I like the show too, but it seems like some people are just staring at a blank TV until 8pm. Holy crap, get a life! But before you do that, sit down with glass of wine, or a highball cocktail, or … Continue reading

SURVIVOR: BRAINS VS BRAWN VS BEAUTY FINALE – 5/21/14

Here we are. The finale. We’ve been waiting for this night ever since the tease at last year’s reunion show. All those months waiting and wondering how Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty was going play out, and then watching, aghast at every crazy twist that unfolded. We cringed at the stupid decisions made on Day 1, idol clues revealed a “Sophie’s Choice,” alliances formed, people snapped, and tribes almost disintegrated. There was talk of throwing challenges, near fisticuffs, stolen clues, and a mysterious new idol with “special powers” unseen in this game.

We witnessed Tony’s antics. The honest cop, who started telling lies on Day 1, and finding idols. He made proclamations of playing dirty, and eventually formed his “CopsRUs” alliance with Sarah. His paranoia was evident from the start, with his eavesdropping, swearing on family members, and not one, but two “SpyShacks.” And I’m sure at some point in the game, most of us thought his gameplay would come back to bite him in the ass…

Then there was Spencer and his perceived superiority, … Continue reading
