TV and Burgers

It was another week of problems at Zapatera, nuttiness from Phillip and hot girls sunning themselves in beach chairs.  In addition there was the crispy rice battle, not to be confused with the great Rice Krispies battle of 1933 in which Snap, Crackle and Pop prevailed over Belch, Tinkle and Fart for cereal supremacy. But our episode began with Zapatera returning from Tribal Council (or TC as Jeff calls it on Twitter) and a slightly uncomfortable conversation between Sarita and David.  David let Sarita know that he technically had no problems with her, but he did not trust her.  Now as far as I can tell a lack of trust is a problem especially between people supposedly on the same tribe.  David still appears to be quite bitter over Sarita choosing Stephanie to be the puzzle solver instead of him.  Sarita tried to make nice with David, but he would have none of it. Stephanie arrived at Redemption Island and I have to think that Matt was not too thrilled with her.  First of

Once again we were treated to the awesome sight of hot babes in bikinis lying on the beach.  Unfortunately we also had to endure watching Natalie trim the underarm hairs of Ashley.  Talk about ruining a moment!  Nonetheless we had another great episode last night so let’s get right to it. Krista arrived at Redemption Island and found Matt doing an amazing Claude Rains imitation.  She snuggled up next to him in an effort to stay dry and warm.  They seemed to get along quite well due to their bonding over God, but both of them knew that only one of them would survive the upcoming death match.  So naturally they prayed about it.  This was very confusing for me and brought up several questions as they prayed together on the beach.  1. Does God really have nothing better to do than to intervene in a challenge between two schmucks on a reality show?  Again, there are also sorts of travesties going on in the world, but you two felt it necessary to pray about your little game

It lasted less than 10 seconds, but it was one of the greatest scenes in Survivor history.  I must have rewound and watched it twenty times.  Andrea, Ashley & Natalie under a waterfall taking a shower.  It was a beautiful sight.  Three hot babes in bikinis under flowing water.  This had virtually nothing to do with the rest of last night’s episode, but it was my favorite part.  I actually think that if they turned that into a weekly series it would get killer ratings.  I know I’d watch it.  Now that I have your attention we can discuss last night in detail.  Our episode started with Ometepe returning from tribal council.  Phillip was a little down as he knew he was nothing more than an outsider looking in.  So naturally it was in his best interest to strip down to his fuchsia panties and snuggle up next to Boston Rob.  Rob was concerned and made sure that Phillip had his undies on which led to the best line in last nights show as spoken by Phillip:  “I have my und

It’s over.  The reign of terror has finally come to an end.  Three times we have had Russell Hantz forced on us and twice we had to watch him lie, cheat and steal his way all the way to the final three only to see him fail to get a single vote.  But no more.  No more will we have to look at that stupid hat and the dumbass grin.  No longer will we have to deal with his conceit for the self proclaimed king is dead.  Long live the king, but not really.  I have been waiting to write of the demise of Russell for a long time now, but it must wait just a few more minutes. Our episode began with Russell meeting up on Redemption Island with Matt.  Russell, of course, was expecting Francesca, but he was confident that he would easily defeat Matt.  Russell made the claim that he was far from done in the game and boy was he angry.  He wanted to “bitch slap” all the members of his tribe.  He had nothing good to say about any of them At Ometepe we were treated to some fabulous shot

I must preface this by telling you that I like Charlie Sheen and have always enjoyed Two and a Half Men.  The recent rants by Sheen have only made him more of a train wreck.  I find his rants and raves endlessly fascinating and when he joined Twitter I quickly became one of his first followers.  Thus I was both saddened and overjoyed when I heard the news this morning that he was officially fired from the show.  Sad because I like the show just the way it is and happy because I know that this will only lead to better tweets and catch phrases from Sheen.  It was inevitable that he’d be fired as far as I was concerned.  How in the world could he be accepted back and work harmoniously with Chuck Lorre was beyond my comprehension.  The problem is that the show is extremely lucrative and CBS still has a deal in place for a ninth season.  How can they continue a show about two guys and a kid (who technically is no longer a half) without the main star of the show?  Other shows

Good day my friends, Have you ever seen those shriveled apples that kids or those kooky crafting people make at Halloween?  That’s what Julie looks like to me and it kind of creeps me out.  Although she has an enormous head, not shrunken, it still appears to look like a shriveled apple.  She must be a big hit on Halloween.  Frankly that has nothing to do with today’s blog, but it’s just an observation based on seeing her more often than normal last night. The show began with Matt arriving at Redemption Island.  Francesca was shocked that Phillip was not there and Matt said he himself did not understand what he was doing there.  The next morning they had the RI challenge to endure, but what would it be? Jeff and the producers had a bit of a trick up their sleeves when they not only invited them to The Arena, but two players from each tribe.  Each tribe was given a bag with rocks and the two from each tribe that pulled marbles that matched their tribe colors got to go a
