    Survivor: Samoa - Ep 3 "It's Called a Russell Seed"

    Two episodes in a row, let's do this!! But first check out (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To by Weezer. They played it at they're last show, pretty catchy song.

    17 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

    Starts off IMMEDIATELY with them saying Ben is the next to go, so I guess that answers that question.

    Good show, see you all next episode.

    Ha, just playing.

    Ben is proving useful with starting a fire, but I don't think people can stand to keep him around. Even Russell doesn't know what to do!!

    And now we have some insight into the Galu tribe, which was absent from the last episode... and they're doing yoga!! This tribe right now is so much better off than Foa Foa. I don't know why Shambo is pissed they're doing yoga, what's wrong with that? I love yoga. I just got Wii Fit Plus, it's only $19.99!! As long as you already have the Wii Fit board. Someday I'll have a living room to hook up my Wii in... someday as in 9 days!!!

    Russell's new shorts are pretty cool...

    Ooh, another physical challenge, let's go Ben!!

    Ashley just got dragged out, hahaha. Ben sucked that one up, wonder if he was scared of getting kicked out again. Do something though!! What, Laura splashed Ashley to get away, haha, this is great. Wow, Ben is just sucking it up out there, but makes it up by blocking Predator Russell from getting the Foa Foa guys.

    Foa Foa thinks they have it but they don't, and Galu gets it right, they win again!!! This is not good for Foa Foa. Last season though, Jalapeno went into the merge down and still came up on top. The prize was comfort or function and Predator Russell took comfort, his idea was, "If I make the women happy, we're gonna be happy." Haha, nice quote Predator. You took candles and towels over a shovel, lantern, and a tent. Way to be a man. You failed.

    I want to see the Toy Story double feature in 3D. Please.

    This is interesting this season, no exile island, rather the winning tribe sends a member to the other tribe to 'spy.' Really though, these are building relationships for the merge, a great chance for Foa Foa to pluck people away from Galu to build their team. They failed with Yasmin, even though she didn't really give them a chance, but Shambo seems like someone they could flop.

    I think it's so funny though that they're pumped about finding the immunity idol and Russell already has it. This guy, I don't agree with him, but he's got a plan in place and it's working.

    Jaison said he is going to walk away if Ben is still here after tribal, even though he says he has no intention of quitting. That doesn't seem too smart.

    So what's up with only one challenge per show? What happened to the reward challenge, and then the immunity challenge? They're bundling them and I'm still paying the same (free) price!!! I want a refund.

    I wonder if they gave everyone new swimwear for the sole purpose of getting something else on Russell besides his boxer briefs?

    Shambo is looking for the immunity idol and plays it off while digging by the tree, "Wow, look at all this great fire wood!" Everyone in that tribe is clueless. Russell was in that same spot and when asked what he was doing, he said, "Looking for the immunity idol." HOW DO YOU NOT CATCH ON?!!

    I'd be scared walking through the rain forrest of Samoa at night on the way to tribal cancer. There's probably panthers and anacondas.

    Wow, this tribe is messed up. Natalie is cracking me up, sitting in the middle of Ben and Jaison just leaning back, wide-eyed, staring straight forward.

    Ashley has been on the chopping block every show. So Ashley or Ben? My guess is Ben.

    Ashley... Ben... Ben... Ben... 3-1, looking good.

    Ben!!!! Alright, nice pick. Let's get Russell off next. Actually, why don't we take a look at Galu? They're tearing it up, I don't even know the names of most of the people on that tribe. Maybe next week (tomorrow). I probably won't get that one watched until Monday or Tuesday, so see you all then!!

    Survivor: Samoa - Ep 2 "Taking Candy From a Baby"

    Waaaaaay behind. All this moving business kind of keeps you busy and I'm not even finished, just stuck in the middle right now. Episode 2 was saved on my dvr but never got time to watch it, so I'm watching it on my computer and to keep the blog alive, borrowing my mom's to write about it, haha. Episode 3 will probably come tonight too, right after this one, I don't want to get too far behind since episode 4 is tomorrow and next week during episode 5, I'll be beginning another move, and partaking in homecoming festivities.

    So a little refresher, mainly for myself...

    Last week (I mean episode) we saw Russell create havoc in tribe Foa Foa and eventually have his way and convinced his teammates to vote off Marisa. Dumb move Russell.

    Ok, great recap there. Time to get back into this... whoa, hold up! How many pizzas come in a lunchable? I swore there were three but I only see two. Did I set one down somewhere? And these are a lot smaller than I remember. I know everything looks smaller than when you were a kid, but come on!! ....19 are left, who will be voted out tonight?

    Yasmin is not going to last, she is complaining complaining complaining. Her quote is great though, "The hood is not the woods."

    How come Russell just walks around in his underwear? Is that part of his 'disruptive strategy?' "How many people found the idol, without a clue? Zero." Ok, I was just about to hate on him for that, and he found it!!! Hahahaha. Wow, this sucks, they need to vote him off now so he has to waste it early.

    This challenge looks pretty fun, very aggressive and physical. OOOh! Dude just got JACKED UP!! Sweet, chick fight time. Shambo hits like a linebacker, haha.

    I've never seen Jeff give them a warning on cheap shots, he just gave EVERYONE a warning, next time he sees anything close, they're out. Nice, someone is gonna get hurt. Guys and girls mixed together!!! Yep, first time in the history of Survivor, someone has been kicked out, it was Ben for kicking and tripping Predator dude. Galu scores again to go up 2-1...

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS CHALLENGE??

    Crazy...

    Galu wins, Mike didn't show up but Foa Foa isn't too happy with Ben being kicked out. Whoa, nice, one of the Galu is going with Foa Foa to observe tribal council, nice.

    I wonder if you have to pass a physical in order to go on the show. Not sure Mike would've.

    Taking a time out to watch Sportscenter coverage on the 4-0 Broncos, what what!! Champ is amazing and by far my favorite player. Big example why...

    Thanksgiving 05, after beating Dallas in a game which including an interception for a touchdown, Champ met with his family outside of the stadium. I just happen to be there (stalking all the players) and knew that he wanted to go spend Thanksgiving with his family, so I didn't want to bother him too much. So as he broke away from the rest of his teammates and fans, I yelled out, "Champ!" He stopped and turned, could've easily ignored me. I shook his hand and told him that I just wanted to tell him he was the greatest. He didn't make it seem like he was in a big rush or anything, but looked at me while shaking my hand and said, "Thanks, I really appreciate it." That's all it took. What a cool guy. On the flip side, minutes later from Jake Plummer to his loyal fan base in an angry and annoyed tone, "I'M NOT SIGNING ANYTHING!!" He was also known for giving the home crowd the bird. Nice move douche. Back to Survivor and Mike's health...

    Looks like they're taking him out of the game!! Guess there won't be a vote this episode or will they still go on with it? We'll have to watch and see I guess...

    Yasmin is crying, she's not even in the tribe. Foa Foa is still going to tribal council, ouch.

    Hahaha, Shambo said spear fishing was her thing and she didn't catch any fish AND she lost the snorkel. "The good news? There's fish in the ocean." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    Yasmin is ripping Foa Foa, and she thinks she is just running the show, "What's your name? Ben? I wanna talk to you in private." She got a clue to the 'hidden' immunity idol that Russell already has.

    WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON BEN AND YASMIN'S ARGUMENT?

    I don't think Ben should have took shots at Yasmin, and is insanely racist. But as far as Ben tackling Yasmin, I'm on Ben's side for that, it's a challenge and girl, guy, baby, or giraffe, if your in there then be ready to play. You play to win, if you can't handle it, don't play.

    Ben's chopping wood in the middle of the night, I'm pretty sure he's dug his own grave.

    I like Betsy, the police officer, hope she goes to at least the merge.

    Both episodes have focused mainly on Foa Foa. How come there was only one challenge this episode? Did I miss something? I'm watching it on CBS.com and I'm pretty sure it's the full episode...

    Russell is lobbying for Betsy. Ashley is lobbying for Ben. Let's see if Russell wins again...

    Who are they gonna vote for?

    Betsy... Ben... Betsy... Betsy... Betsy... uh oh, 4-1

    Betsy!! Aww, she made it nowhere close to the merge!!! Foa Foa needs to pick it up and start taking out some Galu members. I love this show, time to watch episode 3...

    Survivor: Samoa - Ep 1 "The Puppet Master"

    So I said I probably wouldn't be doing a blog, but half way through the episode I couldn't take it, I broke down. So I'm going to try and keep this going, but this time next week I'll be homeless, so I'm not sure how that works with DirecTV and all but I don't think they'll let me hook it up at the local Starbucks and catch my recordings. Maybe I can convince the houses I'm bouncing around in to record Survivor for me. And Heroes, Top Chef, How I Met Your Mother, and The Office.

    39 days, 20 people, one survivor...

    First off, Somoa looks awesome, I would love to go there. It kicks off with a challenge where the purple team, Gulu, lost the first challenge. This yellow team is interesting, there's Shambo, an ex marine who's named Sharon and I guess resembles Rambo so she's had this nickname since 'nam or something like that.

    The other tribe, Foa Foa is crazy all because of one guy, Russell... this guy is what drove me to blogging but I want him out quick. He makes secret alliances with "his dumb bitches" and an older lady. He singled out the girls, called dumb short blonde, dumber long blonde, another dumb young girl, and then the older lady. Then he goes on to tell the whole tribe about how he lived right next to the levi's in New Orleans when Katrina hit and that he was in his house at the time. First off, what idiot who lives right there stays in the house when the entire city evacuated. He talks about how he lost his dog and he stayed on the roof for two days until he was rescued. He then tells the camera that he never lived in New Orleans, and has never had a German Shepherd. Then!!! This is where I label him crazy. He goes and dumps ALL the water, to "weed out the weak ones." Wow. Wow. Then he burns someones sock!!!! This guy is an idiot. Haha, he's a multi-millionaire, an oil company owner who doesn't care about winning the money, just wants to show how easy it is to win this game. He says he is the worst one to trust and should be the first one to go. Yeah he should. Interested to see how this pans out though....

    Gulu wins the immunity challenge and it looks like they are a team and should get along pretty well. Foa Foa on the other hand, after winning the first challenge, seems like they'll be falling apart, especially with Russell.

    Marisa calls him out for individually talking to everyone and now he wants to kick her out cause "she's dumb", he is the dumbest!! Now he's talking to everyone, ooh I hope they vote him out, Russell!!

    The tribe has rallied to vote out Ashley and Marisa, I think Russell or Mike should go, but I'm afraid it will be Marisa unless there's some crazy turn....

    Marisa...Marisa...Ashley...Ashley... 2-2

    Marisa...Ashley... 3-3

    Marisa...Marisa...Marisa!!!!

    Now Russell think he's got this game on lock down, I'm sure a few more days out there with him and people will realize this.

    Next week looks good, someone gets kicked out of a challenge and guy tackles a chick!!! Tune in... tomorrow already? Don't know if I'll get to watch it til Saturday or Sunday.

    Merry Maddenoliday!! Until the Day I Die

    It's Maddenoliday Eve and I'm doing my tradition of counting my coins to go purchase Madden 10. It's not a yearly tradition, although I'm going to make it one from here on out, but I did it last year when I was completely broke and probably didn't need to be buying it anyway, and I kind of like the idea of just using your change for a 'big' purchase every year, even if it is only $60. My parents always do that but they end up going on trips somewhere or something. My dad buys a cup of ice every morning for like $.25 and always breaks a dollar, and he never spends change. They've been able to buy wedding dresses and go on random trips just off of change, so I've always tried to sway away from spending change when I can and save my own. I don't use cash that much, mostly debit, or even spend that much for that matter, so it's a little tougher for me to hitch a flight and live in Cairo for a month than it is to drive down the street and buy Madden. One other time I paid for Madden in all change, and actually didn't even bother to roll it up. I had just bought my PS2, Tekken Tag, and Zelda: Majora's Mask, wiping out my checking account I had accumulated from chores and saving lunch money. Oh to be a kid again where you can blow your entire life savings as you earn it on video games. So no more money, yet there sat Madden 01 in all it's 3D glory, the one that propelled the game into what it is now. Flat broke, I went to my change, counted it up, and dropped the big $21.43 on Madden 10 (It was January so the price had already dropped). I ended up having $40 or so in change total and also got FIFA 01 too. Now almost ten years later, too stressed out over loans and budgets and life savings to play as many video games as we could when we were young... but there's still Madden, and there's still change.

    So I'd just like to say thanks to anyone who has given me change this past year. Whether it was because it fell out of your pocket in my car, or maybe you desperately wanted some skittles and my cup of coins had come up missing, or you were walking in to Wal-Mart and dropped some pennies, whatever the reason. Thank you.

    So where did I get most my change from?
    Well the Reese's Pieces collected $10.25 and the Skittles collected $4.60, thanks guys! Well, $4.50. I just put a dime back in there to get some out, talking about them made me want them and I had already closed it back up, haha. Even though most of that was my own change, I knew sometimes you would gladly slip one of your own quarters in for a giant hand-full of Reese's Pieces. So that's why this year I'm going to donate Madden 10 to you guys, part owners. As the majority shareholder though it stays at my house :)

    SVGA starts in almost 4 hours!!!!

    Survivor: Tocantins - Episode 13

    I'm finishing up the Red Wings vs Ducks game, then it's Survivor time. The Ducks killed the Sharks in the first series, an 8 seed beating a 1 seed, now the Ducks are facing the Red Wings, the 2 seed, and took them to game 7, tied 3-3 with 3 minutes left.... until Detroit scored to make it 4-3. Boo! There's 6.4 seconds left now and they're about to have a face off in Detroit's zone, hopefully Anaheim can pull something off. Their goalie is out but that doesn't really matter, they just need to win the faceoff and shoot it in. They win it, get a shot off... nope, Detroit wins. Bummer. DirecTV has this new feature which is amazing. On any sports channel, you hit the red button and it brings up a scoreboard for every sport. You skim through them and if you see one you like, you click on it and it takes you to that channel if it's on TV, amazing. I used it again just now to see that Orlando is up by 3 on Boston with 1:46 left, so I'll watch this. The red button works on other channels too, like on the Weather Channel if you press the red button it gives you your local weather instantly. I love DirecTV. The Magic just hit a three, they're up by six. Hopefully they force a game seven. The Celtics just literally threw the inbound pass away, the Magic miss the shot but get the rebound and can kill more time, wow. I like the Magic better, but it'd be cool to see the Celtics play the Cavs, even though they don't have KG, it'd be a good rematch. A good rematch that would be won by Cleveland in four. Maybe five. An Orlando fan just made a sweeping motion.... they're down 3 games to 2 buddy. The Magic win, but the Celtics looked like they gave up waaaay before the end of the game, game seven in Boston. Now back to reality, Survivor: Tocantis. Last week Debbie was voted out and it's getting towards the end here, the season finale is this Sunday! Let's get right to it. Only five are left, who will be voted out tonight?

    J.T.J. just let Coach know who wrote his name down and Coach took it as, "Wow, they mounted a counterattack against Debbie to save me. It would have been easy to vote me out, I know a valuable player." He still believes the game is still being playing with truth and honesty, so J.T.J. is still on Coach's good side. He just called himself Coach Wade again, I'm gonna Google this.

    Wow, interesting, check this out.

    Biography
    Benjamin "Coach" Wade (37)
    Hometown: Bolivar, Mo.
    Occupation: Soccer Coach

    Benjamin Wade is known by many names. As the head women's soccer coach at the Southwest Baptist University in Missouri, he is called "Coach Wade," but he also goes by “Maestro” due to role as an artistic director and conductor of a California symphony orchestra. A skilled musician, Benjamin was traveling the world playing the trumpet before most kids could even spell "trumpet."

    Wade sees coaching as another form of manipulation. "You have to find out what everybody wants, what everybody needs, what they think they want, what think they need and then you have to be the person that solves everything." He knows these skills will be valuable in the game of SURVIVOR.

    If Benjamin was asked to wear just one hat, it would be that of "Renaissance Man." Aside from setting the world record for the longest solo kayak expedition on the ocean (an amazing 6,132 miles), Wade has also been attacked by a tiger shark, stalked by a jaguar in the Amazon and has been bitten by a piranha on his right hand. To say that he is a Type A, Alpha male, who likes to control the environment around him may just be an understatement. Coach's dominant personality will be a force to be reckoned with in the game.

    Benjamin is single and currently splits his time in Bolivar, Mo, and Susanville, Calif. His birth date is September 18.

    See that ladies? He's single! Who wouldn't want to be with that guy? Haha.

    J.T.J. says they plan on sending him home next, so sad. J.T.J. better win this season, he has been dominating. Haha, Jeff says, "J.T. having no trouble AT ALL getting through this maze. Coach having no trouble following J.T."

    J.T. and Coach are the only ones working on making a pole to get the sand bag, I hope he wins it. He should easily win this challenge, he got the pole then the two sand bags in two tries, three sand bags in three tries, he DOMINATED!!! Coach says he is not going to make fire or eat food, only meditate on exile, dumb, but I love this guy.

    J.T.J. on Erinn, "People are so dumb in this game, they talk way too much in this game. It's gonna hurt her and not me." Maybe Coach wins immunity and Erinn goes out this week?

    Haha, that's funny, Stephen and J.T.J. haven't seen themselves in a mirror in over a month, they freak out in front of the mirror. Then during their feast they talk about possibly voting off Erinn instead of Coach, and taking Coach to the final three!! I love that, but that means Mrs. George would be going after Erinn. I guess she'd have to sometime.

    Coach looks confident he'll win this challenge. All five have passed the first 15 minutes and move down to the second foot hold. Coach looks very comfortable. All five ares still alive after 30 minutes and move on tot he final foot hold, but Erinn drops out trying to move down. She may be voted out. Stephen is out. Mrs. George is out. Only Coach and J.T.J. It would come down to them. 50 minutes elapsed. Coach is struggling. And he lets out a battle cry, haha. And he's down, J.T.J. wins!! Coach fell to the floor, says his back went out, but he turns down medical.

    This commercial really gets to me. Only because the guy doesn't tie the bag when he throws it in there. Really? Come on, you wouldn't throw a bag of trash away without tying it up, even if it is a bag of cash.



    Coach has some sweet argyle socks. J.T.J. and Stephen tell Coach they're voting out Erinn, but Stephen still is undecided, come on dude, you haven't really even done anything to get this far. He has been piggybacking J.T.J.

    "Men drop what they think is a pebble, woman see a boulder." - Benjamin "Coach" Wade, hahaha.

    Coach wrote a poem!! That's so rude, everyone in the jury were pretending to sleep while Coach recited his poem. He's a good guy, what the hell?

    Here's my prediction of the votes,

    J.T.J. - Erinn
    Erinn - Coach
    Mrs. George - Coach
    Coach - Erinn
    Stephen - tough one, and the only one they didn't show of course....Erinn

    Let's see who really goes out. There's a huge bug on J.T.J.'s shoulder!!! Two votes to two votes.... and Coach is out, damn. J.T.J. is really thinking now, what the hell Stephen? That's the first time J.T.J. hadn't known who was going out. No worries though, Erinn is next, unless Stephen does the unthinkable and votes J.T.J. out. One episode left, this Sunday at 7.
