Episode #6

Sorry for the long delay in posting. Last week was teacher's conference so I was gone on Thursday night and didn't get a chance to watch until Saturday.

So, here is what I have:

1. I have to say the thing that surprised me the most was Todd's emergence as a leader in the game. I think Amanda could make him cry, but his plan with James was pretty brilliant. Good for James, though, that his team started to try because they are at a huge advantage when they merge.


2. Nice try by PG to tell Sherea that they were still with them. Thank goodness no one listened to them. I still dislike them.


3. What a fiasco with the immunity idol. It will be interesting to see what James does at camp when he gets back.


4. Nice challenge, wouldn't you have thought that the school lunch lady could have eaten anything. I think that those duck fetuses looked like the chicken dog nuggets we had today.


5. Memo to self: When on Survivor, don't shower in the buff.


6. Jean-Robert is growing on me, I didn't like how Sherea was acting at the end. Good riddens.

Now, my top 5
5. Amanda
4. Todd
3. James
2. Frosti
1. Eric

Episode #5

"People are Stupid!!!"

Random thoughts: For the record, I'm angry right now.

1. Erik, is China really the Garden of Eden minus the fruit? And does being a virgin help? All wierd.
2. Did James say Denise was attractive? Been digging too many graves I think.
3. Did the Zhan Hu tribe really think they were just going to get to keep two people from the other tribe? Idiots.
4. Interesting twit that really threw the balance of power for a loop. I don't think I like it.
5. Jean-Robert is annoying.
6. That switch really helped Sherea and Frosti.
7. THANK GOODNESS THEY GOT THEIR SWIMSUITS!!!
8. Pehi-Gee and Jamie are morons.
9. Ranking of Survivors I hate.
   1. ______________ (Remember, I can't utter his name)
   2. Jamie
   3. Phei-Gee
10. STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm too mad to do rankings tonight. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That show torked my doober.

Episode #4

Interesting episode tonight... I gotta say that I still think they need to get these guys some clothes because I'm sick of seeing things blurred out. Here are some thoughts on tonight's episode.

1. Would you mess with Sherea?
2. I would like to see Sherea and James go head to head in one of these challenges... odds anyone?
3. Way to go Jean-Robert pulling the Manderin Chinese out of the bag.
4. Dave is a dork.
5. The school lunch lady is funny. "Just pull the chicken nuggets out and serve 'em"
6. That immunity challenge was a little corny. I don't know if I would have stepped in front of something James threw.
7. I'm sick of the animated things in the challenge.
8. I guess if you get kidnapped you get voted off... interesting.
9. Dave's tribe will die without him.
10. Todd moved up into my rankings with Dave giving him the clue to the immunity idol.

AND NOW... My Rankings.
5. Frosti
4. Todd

See everyone next week.

Episode #3

I was on location for episode #3 last week as Cathy had one of those woman-pyramid-scheme-parties. Well, it didn't work out too well for me since my Jesus freak chick, Leslie, was voted off the island. So here are some random shots at the episode.

1. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for Christianity (obviously), but when you go to play a GAME where the goal is to try and stick around as long as you can, you just can't be alienating your team Leslie... I wonder how she plays cards or a board game where she has to deceive her opponents. Oh well.
2. I never saw anyone argue over one measly crab... my goodness, they are a lot more work then they are worth.
3. For all the trouble Jean-Robert is, he sure does come through in challenges, but I also think he is the next to go.
4. Why didn't Leslie just say, "Hey! I like the guys on the other team better than you oafs (sp?)" That would have been just as bad as saying the guys are her team weren't Christians.
5. Courtney has to get something to eat, she looks like an Auschwitz survivor right now. I thought she would be better off using the Force to break those ropes. I think James, on the other had, just about cut the pole in half. Like I told Sue F. at recess today, James and I are alike, oh wait, he's black and I'm white.

Well, after tonight's episode I hope to have the first of my handicapping done. Have fun all!

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!
