Episode #2

Well fans... all I can say is that someone told me a good idea. Let's have Survivor: Belfast. Well, I guess it is a good idea because I would have better beer at my premier party. I think, though, that the Protestant and Catholic tribes might not like the challenges. Rule #1: If you get killed in the cross fire, you are out.

ANYWAY... another good episode. Here are some random shots.
1. I can't stand Dave.
2. Jean-Robert is an idiot. Although he did do very well in the immunity gigantic-mud-ball-human-soccer game. That was a pretty cool game. James, though, could have taken on the other tribe 1 on 6 and still won.
3. The mud soccer game is another reason they should have been given proper fitting atire. I haven't seen that much blurring since my stye in my eye.
4. My religious zealot Leslie is also very stupid. Hasn't she memorized enough of the bible to last 39 days? She then is given a clue on the immunity idol because she is the weakest and the TELLS SOMEONE!
5. I really don't see the Dave-tribe winning anymore, Jean-Robert and James offer way too much strength and I think they have some brains.
6. I like the twist of kidnapping someone and then they have to give that clue to someone. Nice job CBS.
7. The rain is cool, although it just can't be that hard to build a shelter.
8-10. I just don't think I have much else.

After next week I might post my top 5 to win. Remember last year that I had Earl in that original top 5, albeit at #5, but he quickly made it to the top of my list.

So long to Lizzie K. and Kathy G. At least it wasn't the first time you guys have played. I sure thought Ashley had more time. Such is the game. I've been thinking about instituting a $6 entrance fee and then giving that extra $1 to the first person voted off. I'll have to give it more thought.

So long for now! Keep on Survivin'

Episode #1

Well... an interesting premier episode for several reasons.

1. I forgot to tape it for the party. Thanks to Wuf for backing me up. I was a little busy this week, but we still had a good gathering.
2. I had pressed duck for the first time with our $70 Chinese food order, not bad... I also enjoyed the crab rangoon.
3. Chinese beer, of which I bought a case, isn't really that good.

Now for my thoughts on the survivors.

• I always hate when I get someone new in the pool and then they get voted out right away. Sorry Jenny (and Dan for that matter) for randomly drafting Chicken for you. I think he got a little bit of a raw deal, but that is the problem when you try not to give your opinion and it shows. Almost played the game too much.
• I knew that having the Christian Radio Talk Show host was going to be a liability since they always prey on those people trying to play the game. But her leaving the Budhist ceremony was a little overboard, I almost thought she was WELS for a moment. You never like your person getting called out by Jeff in an impromptu Q&A session in the begining there.
• James is a large, large, large man.
• The weather will be interesting this year, seems like there will be a lot of rain.
• I hate the seasons where they don't let them have at least a well chosen piece of clothing. It is going to be rough if Denise and Sherea don't get a little help.
• I think one of the immunity or reward challenges should be to run the length of the Great Wall of China. It could be a relay I suppose.
• Now I know that I have never been on the show, but don't these people watch it. Someone needs to figure out how to build a shelter. Unreal they wallow around and can't build one.
• I think that Ashley has proven that WWE wrestlers aren't real athletes.
• Jean-Robert, I've seen him play poker, he thinks way to highly of himself and isn't going to make it that far.

Well, that is about it. I don't begin handicapping till at least week 3 and then I will begin my top 5 to win. They are promising us a wet and wild mud wrestling challenge next week. Stay tuned.

Countdown to Survivor: China Premier!
