Well, wonders really do never cease. I’m not sure how to feel about the Tribal Council results of last night’s Survivor. Am I sad that favored-to-win James was voted out because he was too effing stupid to play one of the two personal Immunity Idols in his possession? Or am I happy that someone who was too stupid to play an Immunity Idol was voted out? Read Televison Without Pity’s recap after the jump.
Well, Survivor China got off to a roaring start last night and it looks like this season is going to be another good one. I can already see at least a few potential arrogant drama queens ready to make this a very entertaining twelve weeks. Continue reading Random Thoughts on Last Night’s Survivor Debut
Outwit Outplay Outlast
It’s completely retarded how excited I get for each season’s Survivor premiere, the latest of which is tomorrow night at 8:00 PM on CBS! Woo Hoo! The show is heading to China this time around, and as usual there are some new twists to the game — kidnapping being one of them. In addition, each castaway was given a copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War to read. It should be interesting to see how this guide to warfare will inform the game. In case you were concerned about “the curse of the Car Reward,” there will be no car giveaway this season, though the hidden immunity idol is still in play. I’m hoping that there are at least a couple of castaways who are major assholes – like Leesi and Rocky from last season – just to keep it interesting, but please god, let there be no boring “Exile Island” drama, because that shit is so played. Be assured that every Thursday at 8:00 PM, my friend and fellow Surivor fan, Tracy and I will be glued to the set for the all mud-slinging (literal and figurative) that they can dish out!
Survivor!
Survivor China Cast!
I missed most of this past season of Hell’s K itchen due to me being otherwise visually occupied with HBO’s Big Love — one of my very favorite shows. But thankfully my sister turned me on to Chef Gordon Ramsey’s BBC series Kitchen Nightmares (Thursdays at 8:00 PM on BBC America) , a show which masquearades as being more tasteful, but actually has just about as much swearing and back stabbing. And while it’s not likely to be as smashing as the original, Fox is set to debut an American version of Nightmares on September 19th. Unless that conflicts with the debut of Survivor: China! I’m making my reservations now.
Survivor Fiji: The Final Five
From Television Without Pity Dot Com
So with Alex gone, Yau Man is looking around and figuring out that if Boo and Stacy are ousted, that’s going to leave an F4 situation that will almost certainly not work out well for him, owing to the bond between Cassandra and “Dreamz,” in particular. This all becomes much more significant when we get to the reward challenge, where Yau Man actually manages to win a multi-stage contest for a truck. Probably not all that excited about driving a big truck in the first place, Yau Man offers “Dreamz” the following deal: at F4, if “Dreamz” and Yau Man are still there and “Dreamz” wins immunity, “Dreamz” gives the immunity necklace to Yau Man.
