Fooled Again- April 29, 2005 Damn. I was just getting ready to come over here and write a quick post starting, "I really think Steph is going to win this thing." Just two more minutes to watch Tom get pounded off the island, and that would be that. Guess not. (If you didn't watch, and possess no deduction skills whatsoever, Steph got voted off. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, guess you haven't seen Survivor in awhile.) What is the matter with those women With Caryn They can just never, ever, ever get together...http://blogs.salon.com/categories/survivor/2005/04/28.html#a1582 The Race, The Race, what's with all the lousy Racers- April 26, 2005 . . . and Survivors and particularly Apprentices More on that later. Scribbled a bunch of notes on it last week, but not allowed to pull the whole thing together until I get a bit more of my work done. But isn't it appalling how weak the competition is this year Feel free to chime in, and I'll try to get the piece together in a few days. But I still enjoying the hell out of all three shows this season, aside from the occasional dull episode, like last week's Race. And aside from the...http://blogs.salon.com/categories/survivor/2005/04/26.html#a1572 Peaking into my bathtub- April 22, 2005 Nice. My favorite Survivor challenge ever, tonight. Love the ones that are purely at test of wills. And I liked that one in particular, cause I used to do it ever time I took a bath. When was that My 20s, must have been. Minus the bars, of course. I loved to lie still and let the water rise, and watch little islands of flesh get cut off from the mainland. Always curious to see which pec would go first, never quite understood why. (And never kept track to see if it was always the same...http://blogs.salon.com/categories/survivor/2005/04/21.html#a1570 Worst gay PR ever- April 22, 2005 We now bring you this Survivor post exactly one week late. Whoops. I was in Chicago last week, and my Denver PC updated itself with some stupid new Windows update and somehow gave itself permission to reboot--I hate that company--so access to my blog was over. Until I got home which was nearly a week ago, but by that was a day too long and I forgot. Sorry. Just in time to feed your Survivor appetite till I get around to this week's ep. One of the nicest side effects of the reality proliferation.http://blogs.salon.com/categories/survivor/2005/04/21.html#a1568 If ever there were a worse job to date someone you worked with- April 1, 2005 I took a little break from the popewatch this afternoon--(whole fresh range of emotions battering me on that front; more on that later)--for something a little lighter. Survivor. Man. Don't know how many times I've said this, but this show sure has seen a resurgence this season. Burnett desperately needed to shake up the game somehow, and he didn't but somehow it managed to shake itself up. Never been anything quite like this. Can two people call themselves a tribe without laughing Haven't they.http://blogs.salon.com/categories/survivor/2005/04/01.html#a1547 |
