Wow.

Just wow.

I don’t even really know how to write about the first 40 minutes of the show without getting right to the end of tonight’s episode, but I’m going to try. Here’s my best shot.

The episode begins back at the Gota camp, where everyone is thinking it will be the turning point of the season for their tribe. Everyone except Sherri, that is. She’s the only one who sees darkness on the horizon, after voting out a member of their own alliance in order to keep “the muscle” around to help win some challenges. And, all their justification was that Laura (that was her name, right???) was the worst swimmer. Good one – because ALL challenges incorporate swimming of some sort. And, there’s no way you can just take her off the swimming portion of challenges, either. So, good decision.

Was all this talk about turning point a foreshadowing of things to come? I guess we’ll know in a few short moments.

Oh, and Reynold played the Idol so that he could … Continue reading →

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 →
