Survivor 2/29/2012

Did you watch Survivor last night? That Kat girl is not the sharpest tool in the shed. During the reward challenge it took her 7 tries to get the memory board correct.  Not that the guy did any better. Thank God the girls actually won for once and won some fishing equipment and a boat.  They actually took the boat out and caught 3 fish.

During the idol challenge the caller on the girls team did a horrible job telling the girls that were blind folded how to get where they needed to be to get the puzzle pieces. Jeff was yelling at the girls to MOVE!!! Surprisingly the girls picked up the pace during the puzzle part of the challenge and actually won the challenge.  I was shocked!  How in the world did they do it?  They were so far behind that I didn't think they had a chance to pull a win out of the bag. This will be the first time the girls have not gone to tribal council since this season started. Maybe they are finally getting their act together.

The guys first tribal council was interesting. Matt is such an arrogant jerk. Everytime he opens his mouth condescension just poors out of it. Matt thought he has this game wrapped up with a big old bow on the top. I loved that he was the first guy to get voted off. :-)  Everytime you think you have this game down you get shot down!  That is why I love this game.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what is going to happen the rest of this season.  Especially after last night's teaser.

I hope everyone had a great leap day and an even better Thursday.

Survivor 2 22 2012

We have been watching Survivor since the first episode.  We love it.  When it first came on we would be racing home from Blake baseball practice excited to see what what was going to happen in that episode.  In the beginning it was so new that people didn't have a clue what they were walking into. A few seasons in people figured it out and so they had to mix it up.

This year is different in that the tribes are on the same part of the island.  I was talking to Michael and we only recall the guys and girls being split one other time.  The girls make all women look like complete idiots. Monica one of the older wiser women said she is embarrassed for the women tribe and she should be.  It took her volunteering to show the girls the right way to do the challenge. Kat KILLED the girls team this week.  I can't believe they voted off Nina instead of the air headed Kat.

Do you watch Survivor? What do you think of this season?

Have an awesome Thursday.

Survivor: South Pacific

We have been watching Survivor from the first episode. What is it 20 some odd seasons ago.  We love it. The first season we would be a some practice for Blake anxiously awaiting for it to end so we could hurry up and get to the house and see what was going on. Over time the episodes have gotten little predictable.  On occasion you will have some craziness happen.  That is what keeps you coming back for more.

This year they had two returning players.  Ozzy and Coach.  Both have played two other times.  But neither have won the million dollars.

This season I was expecting the same old Coach.  We are three shows in and he hasn't been his normal out spoken wacko self.  He has finally grown up some what or they are just not showing that part of the show.  He seems like he is trying another approach this season. Heck, it's his 3rd time to play he should have learned something.

Ozzy is my favorite.  I have always loved Ozzy and rooted for him each time he has played.  He knows what he is doing.  And works his tail off around camp.  It always blows me away to seem him climbing up a coconut tree like it's walking on the ground.  I hope he goes all the way. 

Brandon Hantz is Russel Hantz nephew.  Russel was on the show a couple of times.  Oh my word he was rotten but he made the show worth watching.  Russel is one of those players you love to hate.  Brandon keeps saying he is nothing like his uncle.  However, Brandon has already started lying to try and get his way and was busted for it.   I don't trust him.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out with him.

The rest of the cast hasn't jumped out at me.  Maybe a few players ever now and then but two have already gone to redemption island.  One lost the redemption island challenge.  I don't want to say their names just in case you have the show recorded and have not gotten to watch it yet.

Do you like Survivor? Do you watch Survivor?  If you do who is your favorite player and why?

Have a great day!
