OMG, there is so much to get to tonight; I don’t even know where to start. March Madness? The Masters? Tonight’s recap? Heck no, all that has to wait, because there are other things to discuss first. Let’s dive right in…

First off, I just want to say a big thank you for all your comments, emails and tweets. Last week was the busiest in the four seasons I’ve been doing this so I want you all to know how much I appreciate your support, banter, and compliments. It’s great to see that some of you are enjoying these recaps, and I’m thrilled you’re laughing along with me (and hopefully not “at me”). It’s no small thing to be a part of a small group in the Survivorverse, even if it’s just us on this little island throwing coconuts and banana peels at the fools over on the big island!

I feel like I owe you something tonight because last week’s felt like such a rush job. Being out of town, on someone else’s computer, … Continue reading →

Hello campers, and welcome back for another dosage of Survivor Fish Oil. This week, I’m going to keep it a little lean as I’m with my family in Vegas, on Spring Break, and let’s just say that some people are not happy I’m taking a whole night to devote to Survivor. “Is that show still on TV?” I keep getting asked. Simpletons. But while no one in my house could give a rat’s ass about Survivor, I’m here for you guys, and I’m not backing down. Even if it means I’m not getting “lucky” tonight. As Robert Duvall once said,

“Family don’t surf…!”

Needless to say, this will be a relatively short column, but be assured I still aspire to leave you in stitches, Survivor gameplay contemplation, and referencing Wikipedia for a couple, “What the f**k he mean by THAT?!” We’ll see. I’m also using someone else’s pooter, so who knows what else might be off…

That said, let’s dive in and see which one of these supposed future All-Stars is packing it in tonight. … Continue reading →

Even though it’s a normal night of Survivor, I am actually pleased it’s just a one-hour episode. Those double episodes are a killer! Sure, we’d all like to see as much Survivor as possible, but trust me, when you have to recap ‘til 2am, you begin to appreciate the “little things.” For some of you, that may be a slo-motion montage of dudes running on the beach without a shirt on. Others may prefer a tightly contested challenge. Shirin might wanna watch animals fornicating in a tree. Me? I’ll take a well crafted episode, some commendable gameplay, a funny scene or two…and a few good boob shots. Call me crass…

But before we get to the show, I just wanna go over a couple quick things.

1. There’s really not much else to write about other than March Madness this week. It’s still the greatest annual tournament (the Olympics and World Cup soccer trump it, of course), but for a once a year occurrence, there’s really no other comparison. Say what you want about pro … Continue reading →
