SURVIVOR – 12/8/11

Eh, this episode was like my morning coffee. Not all that great, but I watch (drink) it because I have to. I wish that TV networks had the right to just cut these reality show seasons off early the same way they do with scripted shows. I can’t tell you how many times networks have canceled a show that I invested several weeks/years into just to have them tell me my time wasn’t worth anything to them, but here we are in the midst of what has to be the most boring season of reality television to date and we have to put up with it for the entire way through to watch some unworthy tool win more money then I’ll have in my 401k 35 years from now. I’m glad you starved yourself for 39 days so you could go win more money than I’m going to earn myself in my entire career and then you’re going to go squander it on booze, hookers, and a Porsche while I’ll be living in some studio … Continue reading

SURVIVOR – 12/1/11

I wanted to start this blog off with something I’ve been dying (for two weeks now) to talk about. That is the fact that our good friend Oscar (better known as Ozzy) most definitely did not make his “reality TV” debut on Survivor. He made it on a Playboy TV Reality show called “Foursome.” The premise behind the show was to stick two guys and two girls in a house for 24 hours and watch them f*ck each other. And, f*ck is exactly what Ozzy did on the show. On camera. Full nudity. Even better, he’s not the only reality TV “star” that made their debut on this show. Finding this out just further points me in the direction that all reality TV contestants are either actors of some sorts or are friends of the casting department employees, because I still don’t know how people get on shows like these. Seriously, where do you even hear about that they’re looking for guys and girls to have sex with each other in some random house for … Continue reading

SURVIVOR – 11/17/11

The episode begins with Jim heading on over to Redemption where he relives last episodes “I thought we were supposed to be in the Final 3” before he gives Coach his props on running the tribe like a bunch of sad puppies following their mommy around. Seriously, it does feel as if the tribe is like that, which is why this season is so damn boring. Jim is right, though, if Coach ends up in the Final 3, he will win it. I think that will be true even if a Savaii member somehow makes it to the final 3. I think Coach is playing it the correct way to win the money by getting rid of all the Savaii members so that none of them can make it to the final 3 with him, but he’s not playing the correct way to make it an interesting viewers experience for all of us. Come on, Coach, think of us!!

Back at the Say Tuna camp, Coach explains how Jim is “the worst kind of guy” … Continue reading
