A Man. And His Blog.

Keep running, folks, the black smoke is after all of you!

This season really has the chance to play out the competition young versus old. All the clichés are working, all the bitch fights are taking their spots in the episodes, and the old guys don’t know who to declare as the leader, when they don’t want to have Jimmy Johnson as their leader. On the other hand: This season could play out as the season with the most stupidest contestants. Voting out a player, who had the ability to keep the tribe together, was not just dumb, but I actually don’t understand, who has begun with the backstabbing. Was it Jimmy T. during the challenge? Was it Marty with his little stunt of revealing he has the idol? Or was it a “secret” alliance of the girls, who don’t know anything about football and had to stop Jimmy Johnson from ever talking about it again? I don’t know, and nobody knows. Somewhere the older tribe got to their heads that Jimmy Johnson was the one to be kicked out of the game. Did they ever thought about it much? Doesn’t look like it. Do they know what comes now? Doesn’t look like it. AT least Jimmy Johnson was right in one thing: He never wins $1 million in this competition. But I wouldn’t have expected to see him gone so early in the game.

Through mud and straw, and everything what comes out of it is a ball

If anybody from the younger tribe should ever get a role in a highschool-drama or comedy, all I know is that it will be the perfect casting. What La Flor did, discussed and fought about here, beginning by NaOnka’s socks, who developed a life on their own, continuing with her stealing Fabio’s socks (funny that he is credited with his nickname during the opening credits now), ending in a bitch war between Chase and Shannon during tribal council, which was more funnier than any ABC sitcom I have ever seen in my life. The second episode of Survivor titled “Fatigue Makes Cowards of Us All”, a quote by Jimmy Johnson, who quoted Vince Lombardi, probably had the funniest tribal council I have seen in my short Survivor career. And the tribal council saved the episode above average, since the tension in the younger tribe was building throughout the day, with their heads exploding during tribal council. They knew each other for not even a week, and the first thing they are doing during their first tribal council is bitching, verbally fighting and noticing that New York is full of gay people. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Survivor, the new one-hour sitcom.

Nicaragua is a country in Middle America, for those who don't know...

Jesus probably had enough reasons to use the Medallion of Power, CBS doesn’t need the Medallion of Power, when they continue looking for the household viewers; the survivors are throwing an eye on the Medallion of Power, which seems to be a very cheesy element. Use it and have a chance at winning the challenge. Don’t use it and get nothing but scorn and derision from the competing tribe. Don’t have it even in the game, and nobody would talk about it. So, the Medallion of Power seems to be a powerful element (hence the name) in the game, but it could end not on a happy note for those who lose against the tribe with the Medallion. Does it have the power to change the game or send some strategy into the challenges, or is it just another new element in the game to keep it poppy and dangerous, or even fill some seconds of episode time with it? This is a little episode review of the Survivor season number 21, and this time it is going to be the first season I am going to watch until the end. And it looks like I got the perfect season to start all over again: It is the season of young versus old, the U30s versus the O40s, the beautiful girls versus the breaking bones. I already have my crushes, I already have my tribe to root for, but 42 minutes were definitely not enough to introduce 20 persons to me, which is the same old story. But I could say that all the time…
