last night's Survivor (spoilers)
For some reason I feel compelled to discuss last night's Survivor. It hasn't been a particularly good season, and last night's episode wasn't great, but two things bear mentioning. Actually, it's just a reality TV show so it doesn't bear much of anything at all, but still - this is just a blog, you know?
1) Erik speaks! And among the first things he says is … "I'm a virgin."
WTF? Dude. Seriously? Not that you're a virgin, 'cuz, whatever. But you're saying this to a (admittedly cute) girl you just met two weeks ago and on national television? This is not something you discuss with a girl you're barely able to say "I like you" to (which he does). Or, you know, on national television! I'm sure your preacher is very proud of you right now, but damn.
I can't wait for the cast reunion special at the end of the season. "So," says Probst. "Do it yet?"
2) Thank God the producers gave the contestants new clothes just before the immunity challenge. Sherea's bra had done yeoman's work to date, but I'm not sure the editors' blurring tool could handle much more work. Let's see if her ELECTRIC BLUE bikini can handle the stress. (Also, a woman that size really shouldn't be wearing a bikini.) On a completely different similar note, Denise is wearing pink. I never thought I'd see the day a woman with a mullet would wear pink. Granted, it's a Grandma swimsuit, but still pink.
Giggles (nee Jaime) is also now wearing a PINK bikini, but for some reason it doesn't look right on her. I think I don't like the cut of the bottom. Amanda is still beautiful in spite of the unfortunate choice of a camouflage bikini with that really hot whatever-its-called bottom. And her bottom, too, for that matter. I liked the red she was stuck wearing before. Don't hide, Amanda!
The producers should apologize to every woman and gay man for giving the guys their clothes, with the notable exception of Jean-Robert. No more tight boxer briefs! I think. Actually, I wasn't paying any attention to the men. My eyes were forced to ELECTRIC BLUE and PINK though desperately trying to see the camouflage.
3) Poor James. He's screwed. I really hope the next IC is one of those challenges one person can completely dominate and win for his team in spite of the lameness of the others. I think the other team would get rid of J-R unless Sherea is her usual, blatantly, completely useless self at camp. OTOH, I gotta give the girls credit for the ballsy move. Nine times out of ten, throwing challenges is a Very Bad Idea, but this time around there's a good, strategic reason for it. Good for them for thinking ahead. I still hope it comes back to bite them in the ass, but only because they (especially Giggles) were so annoying about it. And James is awesome. He buries people.
