Oh, Jonathan! How Could You Leave Us So Soon?
Wow, what a huge bummer and severe blow to the game on last night’s Survivor to lose Jonathan Penner – my personal favorite to win this season – due to a potentially life-threatening infection in his injured knee. Tracy and I both actually got a little misty as Jonathon reluctantly said a tearful goodbye to his tribe and boarded a medical boat to be taken to the hospital for surgery. Motherfucker. Farewell JP! See you on the Reunion show in about 10 weeks!
One of my very favorite guilty pleasures of last summer was watching VH1’s Rock Of Love with Bret Michaels, lead singer of the world’s-luckiest-not-that-talented bar band, Poison. Even though this show actually wrapped up months ago, Television Without Pity is just now hilariously recapping season one . I guess it gives them something fun to write about until the new episodes of Survivor start in February. Whoever’s doing the recapping is going super-heavy on the snark – which is always fun! Here’s just a little snippet of the action from episode one:

I stayed up way past my bedtime last night to watch the final episode of The Sopranos, which I’d had to record, because I was out at a Big Rock Show. While I am seriously paying for it today in the not-enough-sleep department, I’m so glad I forced myself to watch it as soon as I staggered in the door instead of waiting until tonight, because it was just so good. I admit I was left sitting on my bed at the end going “What? What just happened? Did my tape run out? when the screen cut to black right as Steve Perry was singing the words “Don’t Stop” in the woefully underrated Journey song, “Don’t Stop Believing.”
