An Update on Survivor

As long as I waste the time to watch this stupid show, I may as well waste a little more time writing about it.

First – and most importantly – Dre (Dreamz) and Cassandra are still alive.  If you’ve followed my blog, you’ll remember that these two people are who I have in our pool at work.  It has looked touch and go at times, as Cassandra lacks ability in the challenges and Dre can’t keep quiet, but alive they are.   Woo hoo!

As far as general impressions of the show, I can’t say it’s got as many of those love ‘em/hate ‘em personalities as in the past, and because of that I can’t say I’ve developed a rooting interest either way.  Rocky’s an interesting guy.  At times I think he goes overboard with the vocalization, but then again he’s entertaining.  The editing was such that it looks like they’re trying to turn some of the rich women into the evil ones.  We’ll see if that continues.

The rich-poor divide hasn’t gone the way I expected.  Quite honestly, I kind of thought that the poor people would pull together a little bit out of desperation, but they just look like they’re getting whipped. 

I like the twist of putting the immunity idol right in the middle of camp.  Maybe one of the reward challenges will include a jackhammer so someone can actually dig for it.

Anthony cried.

Panic ensued this morning, as it struck me that Survivor was broadcast last evening due to the NCAA tournament.   I was later informed that there was no episode, and the next episode is next Wednesday.

 Phew!

Yao-Man is cool, but he looks like he’s going to turn inside-out if he gets any skinnier.

That’s all I’ve got for you.  Admittedly, not one of my most imaginative posts.
