Survivor: Nicaragua Finale

I didn’t watch it.

And there’s an excellent chance I won’t.

I’m still like four episodes behind, and my will to try and watch it is completely sapped. Each and every time I think, “Hmm, I’ll spend 45 minutes watching Survivor!” my brain immediately replies, “Are you MAD!? You could spend that 45 minutes doing […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week eight

Oh hey, this stupid season is still here.

One thing I’ll say about Nicaragua: the challenges have been quite a bit more inventive than usual. This week, contestants were made to hold a metal pole in place by sliding it through a series of rings, and pulling on the rings so the pole couldn’t slip […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week seven

I know, I know, I was shocked too! This episode actually featured a little bit of… playing!

My favorite part was the unique immunity challenge. I rarely comment on challenges anymore, partly because I’ve already seen them all and partly because I’m usually more interested in the results of the challenge than the challenge […]

Survivor: Retardsville, week 684

Why even bother doing episode recaps at this point? This season can just be distilled into a list of retarded things the players keep doing, over and over.

Does Marty know that his opposing alliance is allowed to split their votes? Like… he knows that, right? That the whole alliance thing is a mostly […]

Survivor: Nicayadda, week whatever-this-is

I’m two weeks behind this season. Which doesn’t really matter, because this season is terrible. In this brave new world of ours, where we no longer have to watch TV at a particular time to see a particular show, it’s difficult to get myself psyched up to watch Survivor: Nicaragua. Used to be, Thursday […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week four

I just want this to be perfectly clear: Brenda and Chase are going to blindside Naonka. This won’t be hard to do, since there are at least three other players in line waiting to vote her off, and Naonka is too dim to realize when she’s being lied to. This is going to happen, […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week three

The theme of this weeks episode was predictability. Inevitably, each season of Survivor has an episode or two where there are no surprises or change-ups; everything thing you expect to happen happens. It’s only natural. Sometimes the game just works itself into a state where everyone’s optimal play is as obvious to us as […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week two

Being a few weeks behind on Survivor means everyone has something to say to me about it, you know, without spoiling it. The first person to talk to me about episode two talked about how crazy and retarded tribal council was. The second person to talk to me about it talked about how crazy and […]

Survivor: Nicaragua, week one

Season twenty-one. Let’s get on with it, then.

The very first thing I noticed when watching this episode was a dude named Jud complaining about monkeys. Which, as a Survivor junkie of some renown, made me smile because I fondly remember in Survivor: Guatemala where a dude named Judd spent all his time complaining […]

Top Five Best Survivor Seasons

“Brickroad what are you doing, it is not May 19th anymore!”

That’s true! But my schedule is nocturnal, and it’s easier for me to update later rather than earlier. So while it’s not May 19th for you, it still kinda is for me, because my schedule is all screwy and I am an unworthy human […]
