Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 7 – A Classic Episode Of Survivor…

By jnt13 on 1 Nov 2013

…a classic filler episode that is. Wow. Yawn. First, folks. Halloween trumps blogging. As does work. And that’s what happened since the episode aired. Thankfully it wasn’t as if this episode warranted much blogging. I mean we spent about a third of the time of the episode in the Truel. And it wasn’t as if anything interesting was going on. What was going on? The worst reality show fan fiction ever written. Big Brother Winner and Survivor Crazy Person start dating and join forces on [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 6 – Living La Vetus Loco

By jnt13 on 25 Oct 2013

See what I did there with the title? Who’s impressed? A little Ricky Martin. Making fun of Kitten. It’s all good. If only there was something else to mock in this episode…wait, don’t worry, I’ll think of it. Apologies for the lateness – it’s been a trying time in the life of this blogger. I’m sure I’ll share soon. But for now, just accept it. I haven’t even watched Top Chef in its entirety yet. So, for fans of both of my columns – I’m [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 5 – So Much For My Happy Ending

By jnt13 on 17 Oct 2013

Things we learned on this week’s Survivor episode: • Some massages that look amazing have no happy endings. (sorry about that – but how can that joke be resisted?) • Survivor may cause leprosy. • The Blood vs. Water twist has opened up an insane amount of nuance to the show. • Sometimes the editors need to tone it down to make things less obvious. So, we finally have the Family tribe winning a challenge. Interestingly, their first win comes immediately after Culpy’s departure. In [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 4 – “What just happened?”

By jnt13 on 10 Oct 2013

The title this week was spoken by Ciera after the votes were tallied and the Family Tribe just took part in one of the wackiest and incredible blindsides/power plays in the history of this show. I have said it before, I’ll say it again, it is amazing that so many seasons into this show that they can still have new and unique things happen. It is why the show still works and thrives when so many other reality shows have faltered over time. Also incredible…somehow [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 3 – “F U Brad Culpepper!!”

By jnt13 on 4 Oct 2013

My favorite part about the quote I used as the episode title was that Marissa chose to curse Culpy out by using his full name. Think about every time you have ever flipped the bird to someone and cursed them out in such a manner. Have you ever used the person’s full name? I don’t think I ever have. It’s just awkward to say it that way. And the icing on this delicious vulgarity cake? Gervase telling her to settle down. Him NOT settling down [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Ep 2 – National Lampoon’s Horrible Vacation

By jnt13 on 26 Sep 2013

No, Chevy Chase has not found a job after he managed to piss off everyone at Community, the title this week comes from the gay Russell Hantz (according to Aras). Colton is rough to watch – and he often has more stinkers than good lines – but occasionally he manages to squeeze off a good one. And kudos to Aras, who wasn’t ever funny during Exile Island for giving us both the mental image of a gay Russell Hantz, and the mental image of Russell’s [...]

Survivor 27: Blood vs. Water – Ep 1 – Don’t Let That Fool You!

By jnt13 on 20 Sep 2013

Season 27 begins – a season with more twists than a Chubby Checker biopic. With more unexpected developments than an episode of Breaking Bad. And with the promise of some new unexpected dynamic between contestants – possibly the most in a long time. It is hard to predict what we see as the weeks go on, mainly because the contestants have so many new things to consider – they likely had all of their pre-show plans tossed out of the window. Perhaps not all of [...]

Survivor: Blood vs. Water – Preview – We Are Family. I’ve Got All My Survivors And Me

By jnt13 on 4 Sep 2013

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends. We’re so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside. Season 27 is kicking off this week, and we are continuing the recent trend of returning players. And why not? It works. As you know, this is the eighth, um, ninth season to incorporate returning players…er…wait a minute. This is exactly the start of my preview of last season. At this point…I think I can open every season with this intro. Last season, the streak [...]

Survivor: Caramoan – Finale – And The Meek Shall Inherit A Million Bucks

By jnt13 on 13 May 2013

Season 26 of Survivor came to a close last night and as it turns out, this season ranked most certainly in the top half of seasons – possibly in the top third. It is pretty amazing when you think back at the first half of the season – which was populated with insanity from Sgt. Hulka, Phillip and especially Brandon Hantz. More on him in the Reunion review. But the second half? Several great episodes marked with some effective strategy and, crazy as it may [...]

Survivor: Caramoan – Ep 13 – The One Where Cochran May Have Won It All

By jnt13 on 10 May 2013

I am trying to come up with a scenario where Cochran doesn’t win Survivor this season – and I am having a hard time doing it. Unless he is the one that is being medically evacuated as teased in the coming attractions. Other than that, I don’t see it. It is hard to speculate on scenarios because of the medical emergency about to happen, but think about it. If Eddie gets hurt, Erik is the target – and Sherri would go if Erik won immunity. [...]
