SURVIVOR: ONE WORLD – MEET THE CAST

I’m baaaack. I thought I’d run a quick First Impression blog past you since the cast was just announced yesterday. Enjoy.

Season 24 of Survivor is upon us. This is Survivor: One World. This season has a few changes from the past few seasons. The first big (and warranted) change is that no previous cast members are back to compete for a second or third time. Thank God for that. I was truly afraid we might end up seeing CBS asking cast members from other reality shows come on and compete, like someone like Omarosa.

The second big change is that the tribes are going to be split into two tribes, like always. One will be made up of nine women. The other will be made up of nine men. To be honest, I am not sure I like this twist. I think it’s a great idea for the show, but I’m just not sure I like the idea of them being split apart for the first half of the show. I like the … Continue reading

SURVIVOR FINALE – 12/19/11

It was about a week ago that I started dreading this Finale night. Before, when I didn’t blog about the show, it wasn’t that big of a deal that the finale was 3 hours long, but after starting the blog, and having to keep attention for the entire way through, 3 hours sounds like a daunting task. To make matters worse, CBS had a 3:00 football game airing, which always means that it’s going to run late and for some reason they still think people actually watch 60 Minutes, so they NEED to show the entire episode in its entirety or else face backlash from 85 year old dying people across the country. Look, CBS, give them another few years and they won’t be viewing CBS anyway. Speaking of 60 Minutes and other CBS shows that do “well” in the ratings, I have a theory as to why that is. I have a slight understanding of how the Nielsen ratings work, but I happen to believe CBS gets such good ratings because all of the … Continue reading

SURVIVOR – 12/15/11

Well, we’re almost there! We’ve endured Cochran’s slimy ass, Edna morphing into a Koopa (if you don’t know what I mean, trust me she kinda looks like one), Rick’s mustaches’ porn career being more entertaining than Rick himself, Brandon praying so much that even God told him to cool it, and Coach turning every small, meaningless event on the island into a philosophy lesson. And, here we are just one 3-hour finale special away from throwing these people out of our lives. I’m not going to miss any single one of you. Be gone, please.

“Then there were five.” Coach explains that they can always say that they played this game with honor, loyalty, and integrity. Yet, he goes on to explain that the real game begins tonight and honor, loyalty and integrity are being thrown out the window in order to save their own asses. I think someone should explain to Coach that you can’t be honorable, loyal, and have integrity for a portion of an event and then throw it out the window … Continue reading
