Must remember to get off Twitter before 5pm on the west coast else my night may be spoiled by all the east coast viewers and their damn tweets. I know, it’s my fault, but seriously, as a viewer, who tweets DURING a show? Who doesn’t DVR so they can speed through all the commercials? Who doesn’t pour a stiff one and escape to an island in the Philippines for an hour a week to watch some jag-offs play a game we all want to play? And who am I kidding? I just need to go off the grid until I finish writing this…

So once again, due to an accidental reading of a tweet (from Spencer!) I’m now aware that SOMETHING MONUMENTAL is happening at Tribal tonight. I get it, that’s the job of the show (but players too?) to lure me into the episode, but I’d be just as happy to watch the whole damn thing without any hints of what’s happening to whom… It’s kind of like when you see a movie and … Continue reading →

O.M.G., Becky! Are we about to witness the first felony committed on Survivor? Methinks something’s afoot because I’ve seen the promos, and I’ve seen some revealing tweets (stop it, east coasters!) so I know something’s about to happen “that’s never happened before on Survivor.” I’m hoping there’s a pillow/tickle fight between Lindsey and Trish tonight, but I could be wrong about that… Wouldn’t be the first time Survivor has led me astray…

Now, before we get to the recap, I have to remind you that at the end of tonight’s column I’ve released the first group of names ranking all the Survivor players! Jump to the end if you’re so inclined, but I’d appreciate if you read through tonight’s recap first. Either way, we’re eventually going to rank EVERY castaway that’s ever played, starting tonight with the bottom 55 players. This, of course, includes THE WORST PLAYER OF ALL TIME, so let’s see if you agree with my rankings. I’ll break down the process of how players were ranked later, so go ahead read … Continue reading →

Super excited to be bringing this week’s recap to you for a couple reasons. First of all, it’s Survivor, and we’re junkies. More importantly, I finally get to reveal my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT that I’ve been teasing for weeks. You’re gonna have to wait until the end of the column to read it (or just skip to the end) but I think your patience will be rewarded. Seriously, I believe if you’re a hardcore fan of the show, you might dig it…. So let’s get cracking on this week’s episode.

Frankly, I didn’t scour the CBS site for previews of tonight’s episode. I fully expect to see a lot of commercials in the coming weeks since I’ll be watching a lot of March Madness on CBS. I’m a huge fan of the show, but I’m also a huge fan of March Madness. It’s the one tourney that I really look forward to every year. I run pools, I do the brackets, and I’m always disappointed in my picks. Happens every year… But, I’m usually able to … Continue reading →
