Fall Survivor
Well fans, I just saw today on the CBS website that Survivor is going to be part of their fall schedule, 7:00 pm on Thursday nights. Gather your friends, warn your neighbors, and put your kids to bed because its time! This one will be easy to cook for because Survivor is going to CHINA!

Finances
I just wanted to let everyone know that I sent checks off this week... $75 to last year's winner Julia (John, you don't get it and you know why). $52.50 to our two winners and $22.50 to 2nd/3rd place winners. Dave made me a slick worksheet to make paying out easier next time, so I will use that and let you guys know when the next SURVIVOR pool is going. Thanks!

Finale! - Episode #14
Well boys and girls… I’m a loser, you don’t need to tell me. I dropped the ball… things got a little busy here and I fold under the pressure of Survivor. Sorry guys, I will try better next time. SO here is the recap.
Episode #9
Well… I liked the twist of picking teams after the merge. Unfortunately, Michelle got the short end of the stick in drawing a team without her alliance. Earl adjusts nicely by bringing in Dreamz to the alliance as a Benedict Arnold.
Episode #10
In probably the most scrambling I have ever seen before a vote and Dreamz playing traitor, the “Four Horseman” (PLEASE STOP USING THAT NICKNAME – Rule #5 of reality TV, don’t use it – it never works!) get played and Edgardo goes home. Too bad, I kinda liked him.
Episode #11
Mookie had it coming, he wasn’t much of a strategic player. From admitting that he had the immunity idol to Dreamz to his overall play, I wasn’t impressed.
Episode #12
In the tradition of strong young guys not winning Alex just couldn’t stick around. A valiant effort, but not enough. I think I have learned another valuable Survivor lesson… don’t align yourself with the strong young jocks (of which I am no longer a member- sorry ladies). Take the smart guys!
Episode #13
In what I will rank as one of the top plays in Survivor history, Yau-Man senses the ax and plays his immunity idol. Poor Stacy gets voted off after that.
FINALE!
All I have to say is Yau-Man is one cool customer. Facing immunity Yau-Man comes through in a tough immunity challenge. What a great win! But boy, he is way to nice. There is no way I would have brought Dreamz and Cassandra back into the alliance.
Tribal Council #1 – Nice try Boo… good rationale, it just didn’t work!
Can I say that I hate the stupid recap where they remember the people they axed and say nice things about them and then burn some boat etc…
Tribal Council #2 - Come on!!!! Please Jeff… stop playing up Dreamz keeping his word… “He’s kept up half the bargain!!!” Ahhhh. I think Jeff talked Dreamz out of doing it. WHAT A LOSER!!!!!!! DREAMZ IS AN IDIOT! WHAT A GREEDY GUY! HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVES!!!!!! I really can’t express my anger at him for that. Never will I utter his name in Survivor lore. He just gave the million to Earl, what a dork. That was absolutely the biggest backstab in Survivor history…
You can tell Gervis knew he made a bad decision. He couldn’t shut up!!! I love how guilty people always want approval of their actions. AHHHHH!
BTW, I did not need to know that Cassandra gave up the grundies three weeks ago.
Again, a brutal examination of the three left. __________ got pummeled… Earl looked cool… Lisi played the part of Survivor #1 “a man named Sue”. Lisi proved how much of an idiot she was. Wait, she is more of one that _______________. What a liar _______________ is!!!! He killed himself with Yau-Man’s question.
Congrats Earl!!! He made it from the poor tribe to the winner. Congrats to Amy Mehnert for her year 1 win… I have no congrats for Kevin, because AGAIN he didn’t know if he wanted to play… last year second, this year champ. Congrats guys.

Episode #7 & #8
Sorry everyone for the lack of posts... I was out of town for episode #7 and it actually got erased from my Tivo, so the little recap at the beginning of last Thursday's episode was all I got. I do have to say, though, that thank goodness Rocky is gone. I couldn't put up with him much more.
As for Episode #8... Joe, you got your wish. For those of you who didn't know, Joe disliked Lisi so much (even though she was his survivor) that he wanted to see her voted off. I do have to say that I won't miss her whinning. She was bound to have a nervous breakdown sooner rather than later.
On another note, this co-owning of the immunity idols sure doesn't seem like it is going to work for me. Now the Earl and Yau-Man combo might work, both of them seem a little more level headed. But the Mookie, Alex, Edgardo combo just ain't gonna work if you ask me. I sure hope someone finds Yau-Man's immunity idol and then we have three of them played at some tribal council. Imagine playing it and hearing from Jeff, "Ahh, that ain't the immunity idol..." DOH!
Well fans, sounds like we have another good twist next week. I have an updated top 5 below:
5. Yau-Man
4. Mookie
3. Edgardo
2. Alex
1. Earl

Episode #6
So here are the random thoughts for the week:
1. The change was good for Cassandra, Yau-Man, and Earl... not so good for Anthony, and Rocky for that matter.
2. Isn't it great that Rock-Paper-Scissors is good for almost anything, may be they should try it at nuclear talks.
3. The switch-up really changes my thoughts on who could win.
4. Why didn't they pick up the crabs instead of beat them to death.
5. Praise the almighty survivor gods... they FINALLY CAUGHT A FISH!
6. Rocky is not an intelligent man.
7. Nice immunity challenge, that was a pretty cool game. Hard to believe it got that physical.
8. I think Rocky might go postal if he loses another challenge.
9. Poor Anthony.
10. Admit it, your curious how Lisi will fit in.
That is it boys and girls... have a good week and we will see you then. We are soon to get to a merge and the jury.
Updated Handicap Rankings:
5. Stacy
4. 'Dre
3. Earl
2. Alex

This Week
For all of you non-NCAA Tournament fans, you may not know that there is no Survivor tonight (unless, of course, you watched the compilation show last night I imagine)... We will see everyone back here next Wednesday as, I believe, that is the next new Survivor.

Episode #5
Well... you can understand why I might be a little behind and this post might be short.
A) We can now stop all talk of this pool being fixed... Rita had no reason to be voted off.
B) I forgot what happened because of all the basketball on besides:
1. The previews for next time look good... that is the only reason I'm keeping 'Dre up in my handicapping.
2. Rocky is an idiot - he should have been voted off.
3. Moto could erupt as a tribe anytime.
4. I can't believe there hasn't been a girl to take a place in my top 5...
5. WHY HASN'T ANYONE CAUGHT A FISH!?!?! - yes, it is bothering me.
6. And... that is about all I remember.
C) All of my mental energy is going to thinking about my NCAA bracket.
So, that's it... keep on survivin' - and we had more live participation at the Chateau Dusseau for the episode, next time: "real" martinis... I guess I mis-advertised foo foo martinis for real ones.
Updated Handicap Rankings:
5. Dre’

3. Boo
2. Edgardo
