Sports! Politics! Reality TV! Which one do we watch tonight?

Methinks there’s only one choice…but the Dodgers played yesterday (and won!) so I guess we’re stuck with Reality TV tonight… And what a coincidence, it’s White Rice Wednesday! Let’s break out our chopsticks, pour some soy sauce over our head, and watch the “greatest cast ever assembled” play for a million dollars. By the way, has Probst even uttered that phrase this season? I don’t think so, but let’s keep our fingers crossed the drama keeps building, the stakes keep increasing, and less clothing gets worn.

And if you asked me to choose between watching another episode of Survivor or a Dodger playoff game (thank god they play tomorrow!) I’d have to pick Survivor. Because it’s still the greatest reality competition/social experiment on television, and it’s only getting better…and true, there’s such a thing as DVR.

So let’s crack open this coconut! (Please Jeff, reply to my Tweet about making that a catchphrase…)

Alright, kids, let’s eeeaasse back into the swing of a regular night of Survivor, shall we? Last week’s high drama, where we saw the beginning of Bitch Fest ’15 (Abi vs. Peih-Gee), the initial stages of psychotic meltdown with the “other” Fish (Fishbach), and we said goodbye to our old pal Vytas (boy, was I wrong on that one!). However, I was not privy to “ButtJunk-Gate” (his underwear) before I made my prediction, so I will respectfully say that I was lacking in the proper amount of information to make an accurate prediction.

In reading a few interviews he conducted in the past week, he made it clear he didn’t intend to go on the show and be “the yoga guy,” he was just responding to Shirin having a sore back and wanting to help her out. Too bad his “hidden immunity idol” was too creepy (or lovely?) for Abi and Shirin to deal with, so they obviously had to do the next thing and get rid of “little Vytas.”

Damn, these girls came to … Continue reading →

“Toooniiiiiiight, I’m gonna have myself a real good time… I feel aliiii-hiii-hiii-hiiive… and the woooooooorld…turning inside out…yeah… I’m floating around…in ecstasy…”

Okay, stop me now, because I am floating around in ecstasy over tonight’s season premiere of Survivor. I’m beginning to have fantasies of Freddie Mercury standing behind me trying to smash his crotch against my neck. And why am I having this fantasy, uh, I mean, nightmare? Well, it must be because we’re about to start another season of Survivor! And it’s not just ANOTHER season, from everything I’ve seen and heard so far, THIS is going to be the season to end all seasons! Who’s excited with me!?

Am who am I, you’re asking? It’s your old pal, Fish. Bryan Fischer ready and willing to sling a little snark for another season of Survivor. And all alliteration aside, if you haven’t been here before, let me give you a little taste of what you’re in for this season…

Snark, humor, booze jokes, boob jokes, gameplay, insight, Survivor history, jabs, esoterica, interviews, chastisement (is … Continue reading →
