Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week five

The episode opens with Coach leading everyone in “Dragonslayer Chi” on the beach. Everyone’s playing along, especially Sandra and Courtney, who were openly mocking him. Everyone but Russell, who decided to play some Survivor instead and find him an immunity idol. This is why I loved Russell so much last season: he never stopped […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week four

Fun episode! Some interesting shifting took place on each of the two tribes, causing me to rethink the players left in the game and what they’re likely to do. Then Probst yelled at Rupert for saying something stupid, which I enjoyed merrily.

But I’m getting ahead of myself. Here’s how the episode started:

Coach collapsed […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week three

Whoops, I had this scheduled to go live tomorrow instead of today. I FAIL AT CALENDARS. Fortunately I caught it before midnight!

So I notice we’re back to showing three minutes of Coach doing Tai Chi every episode. Fantastic. And did you see his uncut, unabridged confessional about honor and integrity? I guarantee he rehearsed […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week two

(Note: I got my new computer built and will be spending most of the rest of today configuring it. As a result I’m posting the Survivor update today, and the vlog either tomorrow or Sunday.)

Camp Villain started this episode out in a state of complete disarray because they couldn’t figure out how to […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, week one

Wow, what a way to kick off the season. First thing I noticed: the theme song is a mishmash of previous themes, just as it was in All-Stars. Second thing I noticed: Probst seems to be having a lot of fun with this group. He knows these people, and they know him. And we […]

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains (The Cast!)

The next season of Survivor is about a month off, but they’ve given us our cast list. I had planned on putting together a “who I’d like to see” post, but kept putting it off, and now it’s kind of too late. Ah well. I’ll just throw my comments on the announced cast into […]

Survivor: Samoa, finale

The holidays delayed this post by a week, but I finally had some time today to watch the finale. Woo hoo!

One of the themes of my Survivor write-ups is that I don’t think the game really starts until the merge. That isn’t to say that the first half of the game is worthless, […]

Symphony vs. Aria/Dawn: Comparing the Grind

Another Big Damn Castlevania post! Sorry, but I’m still entranced by Dracula X Chronicles and thist stuff has been on my mind quite a bit lately. These are the types of posts I love writing most, which is a shame because I’m sure almost no one cares to read them. (Heh.)

I’ve had a lot […]

Survivor: Samoa, week thirteen

With the finale looming tonight we are finally getting some insight on this Brett clown. Oh goodie; he’s a holy roller. This type of character always irritates me in Survivor for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is my personal (read: unfair) bias. Even putting that aside, though, hearing things like […]

Survivor: Samoa, week twelve

In order to reconcile having missed a double council earlier in the season when Black Russell was removed from the game, this week’s episode was actually two episodes squashed together. Two immunity challenges, two tribal councils. Things ended up being a bit compact but in the end I think it worked fine.

The first […]
