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?

  1. 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.

    mark » Isn’t one of the canons of blog­ging that you shouldn’t write about work? I’d be watch­ing out for your col­leagues now that you’ve exposed your machi­na­tions online.
