by Survivor Season 27, Epsidode 1: Blood Is Thicker Than Anything
It’s the twenty-seventh season of Survivor, with the first episode airing thirteen years ago. And I’ve watched every last one. All of them. Even that really boring season where they kept the contestants in a fenced in pen in the middle of Kenya, or that other really boring season where nobody fought with anyone. So when Survivor decides to switch up the format a bit, I get a little nervous because do not ruin my show, Jeff Probst! And this is one of those seasons.

So this dancing show, this is something that really happens? I kind of thought it was more of an inside joke. “Oh, I just stayed home and watched Dancing With The Stars if-you-know-what-I-mean.” Well, color me surprised and mildly intrigued. Continue reading

Now, the RV is gone, Jesse is gone, Walt is gone, and the lies are gone.

Heidi gives the designers the morning off and sends them to a Southern-style brunch. Croissants, coffee, French toast…so what’s the catch? It’s a challenge to design for the modern Southern woman. Tim says that the modern Southern woman dresses vibrantly and expressively, with feminine details, and is always fashionably put together. You know. For your average tea party. Continue reading

The remaining chefs are met by Daniel Handler, an accordion player who turns out to be the writer of theLemony Snicket books. He introduces the Quickfire Challenge. The winner of the Sous Chef competition and the corresponding Real Chef will decide what the challenge is (and gets the coveted immunity for the Real Chef), and the winning Sous Chef is Paul, Douglas’s replacement Sous Chef. They decide on a dish featuring ketchup because Sang doesn’t permit ketchup in his restaurant. Oh, also? Sang and Jennifer’s Sous Chefs were on the bottom of the competition, so they’ll have an obstacle later in the competition. Continue reading

It’s amateur hour in the meth lab, with the bosses going masks-free, not-Matt Damon only achieving 76% purity, and a clear lack of a blue tint in the product. Lydia is not pleased. The meth must be blue. Not-Matt Damon’s phone rings (nice “She Blinded Me With Science” ringtone, nerd). It’s Walt calling about the job he might have for his uncle. There’s just one target. Jesse Pinkman. Continue reading

I was reading up on the latest cast of Dancing With The Stars because I have no idea who most of these “stars” are (and I will be recapping the *gulp* seventeenth season of this dreck show), and I came across a sentence that made me simultaneously shudder and lose faith in all of humanity: Continue reading
