We’re watching last night’s Survivor episode. You’ll have to have been watching Survivor to get any of this.
- The producers lucked out this season, when the down-on-their-luck tribe took out Aaron instead of James with their chop to the head. ‘Cause James is awesome. Awesome.
- The editors need to take a break from the 5-second-interstitial animal-of-the-week strikes-unsuspecting-prey used to punctuate a player backstabbing. There are only so many spiders killing flies, herons killing fish, or crabs snapping whatever it is crabs eat, that I can take.
- I’ve never liked Courtney, but with her Zen barrel riding performance tonight, and her very natural Jean-Robert as Susan Lucci analogy, I can’t help but warm to her a teensy bit. She seemed almost giddy with her win.
- Jean-Robert is clearly delusional. Best player in the game? Not by his hairy bum.
- But not as delusional as Todd and James and (to a lesser degree, but she should have spoken more forcefully) Amanda… vote off Jean-Robert and you take away one (admittedly distasteful) member of your alliance, while alienating Denise, and not doing anything to bring Courtney back in… leaving them to join the other disaffected to vote you out.
- Amanda needs to make a move now. Captain Todd’s Ship o’ Disfunction has sprung a serious leak. I’d suggest Eric.
Any of you guys actually watching this show, or willing to admit to it?
Darn right (watching it). One of the very few reality shows I ever catch or keep up on.
JR was delusional as crap; I haven’t the faintest idea why he thought he was in control the entire time and was the farthest from the case — so much for that poker player that can read anyone. You’ve been out-gamed by amateurs, homes.
Courtney is as irritating as sand in a condom but you do have to admire her tenacity. I just wish she wasn’t so whiny. You’re on Survivor, what did you expect, caviar?
I “get” Todd’s wishy-washing as he tries to maneuver, but he’s gotta learn to do his thinking in private and then come to people with a good decision and a clear plan, because they’re just ending up confused and untrusting.
Eric and Denise are going to end up being the two biggest under-the-radar players around and people should watch it because they could easily end up in the final 4 just by keeping their mouths shut.
I had no idea this show was still on. I’m always too busy trying to figure out how to back stab my real-life friends and colleagues to watch that much network TV. Maybe I should grab an episode or two and see what all the fuss is about.
