The Voice, Oct. 21 – Real Battles

Unlike the previous week's battles, these really are battles and not duets. Not that duets are bad, it just makes it really hard to choose one or see one of ...

These battles continue to blow me away. They are all so good that I'd rather have them just keep them around as duets. If you listen to the iTunes ...

Survivor: Cagayan – Ep 8 – The BrotherWoo Of The Traveling Pants

By jnt13 on 12 Apr 2014

Just as I suspected, the Pagonging has begun. Let’s hope it stops before it gets boring. The aftermath of Kass’ terrible, horrible move last week unfolded with little to no strategizing throughout the episode. Not once did I suspect that Kass was flipping back, even when they began to allude to Spencer trying to pull a Yul move on her on the beach. Remember when Yul got Jonathan to flip? He came to him at the merge and showed him the idol. Spencer said something [...]

Survivor: Cagayan: Ep 7 – A Series Of Unfortunate Strategic Moves

By jnt13 on 7 Apr 2014

Somewhere the best Survivor players in the first 27 seasons of the game were collectively cringing as this season’s pivotal merge Tribal Council unfolded. Surely they were entertained, but boy, they were probably thinking that if only they got to return this season to join this cast, they’d have an easy run to the end. Imagine some of the better strategist who never won – Rob C, Stephen, and many others – taking on this lot. Oh, and I know, I’m late, I’m sorry, I [...]

Survivor: Cagayan – Ep 6 – Quitters Never Win…Obviously

By jnt13 on 1 Apr 2014

I know you’ve heard this song and dance before – but really, I mean it this time. I am mostly caught up on a lot of the backlog I have been working through at home and at work and am crossing my fingers that I will reset my schedule and routine to enable a more timely post to you folks. Especially next week when the merge comes and the game begins to take shape for the later episodes. This week we had two Survivors depart [...]

Survivor: Cagayan – Ep 5 – The Meek Shall Inherit The Tribe

By jnt13 on 25 Mar 2014

So, I was out of town for a few days and began working a new job this week. It was also my first week living as a single dad, without my kid, so it was a bit weird. That’s my really, really good excuse for a late and short Survivor column this week. You guys ok with that? It’s not as if you really have a choice after all. Anyway, this week showed two things about Survivor that we should always remember – first, contestants [...]

Survivor: Cagayan – Ep 4 – Brains Save Brawn From Themselves

By jnt13 on 17 Mar 2014

Sorry for the late posting, and I am hopeful the era of my late postings will be ending now (or at least lessened). I will say I have some pretty damn good excuses this week – on Thursday, I spent the day visiting my new office as I start a new job next week. Also on Thursday, I officially became a single man again for the first time in a very long time – although I’ve unofficially had that status for a great number of [...]

Survivor Cagayan – Ep 3 – Cops R’ Us Is The Talk Of The Town

By jnt13 on 7 Mar 2014

So far so good this season with Survivor as we have had three hours of very entertaining Survivor madness. We have Team Beauty wilting before our eyes, we have Tasha repeatedly getting salt water thrown in her face – by her own doing, we have Philip Sheppard’s lawyers preparing intellectual property lawsuits and we have a budding super villain who may in fact turn out to be awesome. And I didn’t even mention the 8 pm family hour wet t-shirt contest starring Morganna. But don’t [...]

Survivor Cagayan Premiere – Eps 1 and 2 – If They Only Had A Brain

By jnt13 on 27 Feb 2014

They could wile away the hours/Conferrin’ with the flowers/Consultin’ with the rain/And their heads’ll be a scratcin’/With crazy thoughts they’ll be hatchin’/If they only had some brains. The Scarecrow knew. And now Survivor knows. If you only had a brain. On behalf of nerds around the world, I would like to formally apologize to the Survivor community. You can put six super smart people in a room and ask them to do anything other than play a smashing game of D&D and it will fall [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Finale – That Spot Between Brazen And Reckless

By jnt13 on 18 Dec 2013

An outstanding season of Survivor comes to a close not with a bang, but with a whimper. We were teased that big moves could be coming at all times – none came. We were informed of a brutal Final Tribal in published reports – and it was tame and borderline annoying. And the man who deserved the win, who received the hero edit despite claims by others of his villainy, earned the win in the end. Survivor is on a roll now with four consecutive [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 14 – Hail Mary, Full of Lapdogs

By jnt13 on 13 Dec 2013

Ok – Let’s get this column in the books. Stat. We have the Survivor Finale coming in a couple of days – and I will be spending that day in attendance, for the first time, for one of my beloved Miami Dolphins’ home games. The catch – I don’t live in Miami. So, because of this little quirk in the space-time continuum – the always-anticipated recap of the Finale and Reunion will be, most likely, delayed. However, even so, I can safely say that I [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 13 – I Wanna Rock!

By jnt13 on 9 Dec 2013

This week is late. I know. But better late than never. One thing you will not be seeing in this column this week – anything mean about Tina or Katie. Their family has been through too much this week to be mocked. But what did happen this week was pure madness. Madness, I say! There is one thing that cannot be denied about this simply excellent season – these are some really bold players. This Tribal Council proved it – Hayden made a relentless argument. [...]
