I just got home from working an 11-10 shift, so I was sure hoping for a good episode tonight, to keep me entertained and cap my night off with something good. I gave up on the hopes of something great, since Survivor has sort of lost its edge, but so far this season has been pretty good/entertaining, so I could still hope for something good. And, I can also hope to discontinue my use of run-on sentences. You’re welcome, Mrs. Murphy. Just a quick note – Mrs. Murphy was my 9th grade and 12th grade English teacher – she, in no way, cared about my run-on sentences, but I couldn’t remember any other teacher’s name that I EVER had in my entire 16 year education process. And, we tell our kids education is important, right? One teacher! That’s all I can, honestly, remember, right now in this moment. That’s a shame.

Anyway, we break into the episode at the Gota tribe, where Eddie and Reynold are throwing a PBS fit since they didn’t get their … Continue reading →

I wanted to start off real quick by mentioning another reality television show that I’m sure most of you watch. American Idol. Ugh. Can this show even be considered credible anymore? I don’t even know where to start with this show anymore. Maybe it’s based on the fact that not a lot of great talent auditions for the show, but seriously, you want to pass along some of these people as the next best thing to hit American pop music? I’m supposed to think that Zoannette is someone who’s going to be a big, huge star someday? Not a chance in hell. I just love how the judges always talk these folks up to be the greatest stars to ever shine on a stage during the show airing, but after it’s over and done with, they don’t do much to help their careers along? I don’t want to harp too much on Zoannette, but come on now! Every time the judges “judge” her, do you ever hear them mention anything about her singing? No. It’s … Continue reading →

First off, wanted to send a shout out to all the folks commenting on the premiere episode blog – 19 comments, I’m pretty sure that’s a record for any of my blogs. At least Survivor ones. I think a Big Brother blog had over 20 once, but Survivor barely ever generates any comments, so I’m hoping to change that this year. Make it a week long blog/conversation, rather than me just spitting out this blog and having it end there. So, even if you want to comment and tell me I suck, do so in the comments, I’d love to hear from you. But, enough about me, let’s get to the real reason you’re here.

We head off to the Bikal tribe (Semi-Memorable Previous Contestants), where Dawn has already cracked and turned into Lisa from Growing Pains or whatever the hell show that chick was on from last season. She’s apologizing to Brandon for some reason or another, as if Brandon is the person you most need to apologize to when you think you’ve done … Continue reading →
