Big shout-out this week to Jeebus and the execs at CBS for not messing with my head and moving “Survivor” to a new timeslot so I can actually see it when it airs tonight, instead of on Tape Delay for the Sleep Deprived like everything else this week. Thanks, guys!
My usual top-secret source, Yahoo! TV, has “no description available” for this episode, so the following information is being brought to you by the letters C, B, and S:
(Interesting side note: CBS touts “Survivor” as “Television’s Number 1 Reality Show.” Last I checked, “American Idol” has been kicking ass and taking names in the ratings – is that not considered a reality show, or something? I’d like to see the “fuzzy” math involved in CBS’s calculations. Sounds like an Enron accountant has found a new employer.)
Anyway … what sorts of craziness might we see tonight? … Will Kung Fun Bruce finally show the rest of his tribe his Karate Chop Action (“Breaking Boards Accessory Set sold separately”)? … Will Aras and Courtney finally stop messing around with their hippie-love-tribe new age mating dance and just do it, already? … Will Dan finally build a robot monkey butler out of bamboo, snail shells, fishing line, and half a coconut? … Will Shane’s tattoos continue to spontaneously reproduce until their colony is large enough to develop sentience and they decide to just get the hell out of there already?
Whoa…I’ll bet all of those scientists who are trying to create life in the laboratory never thought of using a nicotine- and caffeine-laced junior executive as a substrate! rockle, you need to write a grant proposal right away!
Anybody see the commercials where they were playing up Shane’s slide into delirium? If they’re advertising it, it can’t be nearly as spectacular as I hoped it would be.
Two castaways get into trouble when their tribemates discover they secretly consumed part of a reward without consulting anyone else, plus two players become ill and are drained for the Immunity Challenge the next day.
Hmm. Sounds interesting.
Much better than “The fourth player is voted off.”
I am waiting for Bruce to return to exile island, chop down half the trees, construct a throne and enslave the camermen who are assigned to video tape him. He’ll then refuse to leave the island and demand Jeff Probst make sacrifices to him to continue to use the islands for the show.
I’ve only seen one preview, which shows one of the guys saying he wants to go to Exile Island. Maybe he discovers that the Immunity Idol has already been found?
That’s Aras. Maybe he’ll try to will Zippy the Emergency Backup Idol into being found. He’ll just walk around with his hands out, palms down, and feel for its presence.
“Ohhmmmmmm…”
You are correct, sir! I apologize for the error and will alert a mod. Don’t know whether it matters, but I’m doing it in the name of Fighting Ignorance. Thanks for the heads-up.
I so hate InShane. He is obnoxious and rude to women just because they are women. I hate Bobby, what is the deal about he is sorry about drinking the other peoples share but not Courtney’s since she brought it up to him. I hate Aras, he is just an idiot. I hate Bruce, what is up with building a Zen rock garden when they don’t have fire, enough food, or clean water. Good greif thay all need to be voted off but Cerie.
You know, on “The Amazing Race,” the teams need to get at least to the Eastern Hemisphere before Killer Fatigue sets in. These Survivors? Wouldn’t even make it to the frickin’ airport.
Also … schadenfreude is my favorite emotion, but I am really not enjoying watching Casaya suffer. I just want them all to go home. I suppose it will come as a surprise to no one that I was sort of hoping the Casa del Charmin got flooded out and Bobby’s 10-lb turd from last week went floating through camp. Although they’d never have shown that on TV anyway, so I guess in my mind I can pretend that it really did happen.
Did anyone else have a moment or two when they thought that the vote was going to be a three-way tie, with someone altogether else going home when the tie-breaking vote was read?
I’m wondering what Shane was thinking, actually. He’s practically bopped over the head with a great big giant neon sign that says “The women are taking over!” and he doesn’t go back to the guys (4 is more than 3!!!) and vote Courtney, the loud, obnoxious, stupid idiot that no one really likes, off. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
