I'm still rather perturbed that I apparently have to pay to get network channels in the new apartment. Anyway.

After a recap of the season thus far and an interesting bit where they called Parvati a double threat because, as far as I can tell, she has two boobs, we see the… Read full post »

Not even saying the tribe name anymore, night 33. Parvati and Jerri talk about Napoleon's vote switch and are concerned about what that means for them. Napoleon comes over and something happens, I dunno. Basically Parvati is worried that she's next and this delights Napoleon because he thinks he's in… Read full post »

Note: I may be extra grumpy because I have not yet had dinner because my DORM WAS ON FIRE. You know, God forbid they replace the 40 year-old air conditioners.

Stupidest Tribe Name Ever, night 30. The Heroes are most displeased with Candice's flip. No one has anything nice to say about… Read full post »

Yin Yang, night 27. That's really the tribe name they're going with. Rupert says he's done. I hope not; he hasn't even started. Napoleon asks Sandra if she knew Parvati had two idols. She says she did not, much less that she had two of them. Napoleon says he didn't either.… Read full post »

Heroes, day 25. Rupert roars. Amanda and JT hope for the merge. Rupert hopes he's not pissing everyone off too much. Amanda is sure she is also annoying. Today's tree mail is a box with a note reading, "Do not open this box until you have the key." That seems like… Read full post »

Oh, since when does CBS put things I watch online officially? That's new. Thanks, guys! Now I don't have to download from Ninjavideo and kill my laptop every single week, COUGH AMC COUGH MAD MEN.

Anyway.

Villains camp post-tribal: Jerri says she was blindsided by Dragon Slayer's ousting. Danielle promi… Read full post »

I missed Survivor this evening - my fiance's grandmother died this afternoon. I've got things going on but I'll find it online soonish. Cominghome tells me the previews heralding The Dumbest Thing Ever did not disappoint, so you know I'll be all over that as soon as I have the time.… Read full post »

As it turned out, I only missed the first ten minutes or so. I was busy being the only woman in the philosophy department to win a Liberal Arts Award of Excellence. What up.

So I walked into my dorm room, turned on the TV, and Jerri said, "I'm going to die."… Read full post »

Tomorrow's Survivor recap may be delayed a day or two. I may or may not be able to watch live, which means I'll be waiting until it's online somewhere. And to everyone telling me to just DVR it, I don't know what dorms you live in where they give DVRs to… Read full post »

Villains camp, day 16. Rob is unnerved by the previous night's vote. Skeletor calls Napoleon a bandy-legged troll. I can't unsee it. Napoleon, Parvati, and Danielle celebrate their win. Napoleon tells Parvati and Danielle to work on Jerri. Parvati laughs. That's reassuring if anything ever was. Rob s… Read full post »

Heroes, night 14. James offers Colby a hug. For real, he assures. Candice explains that she voted for Tom in order to gain goodwill from her tribe mates. That went over just about as well as a lead zeppelin, and Amanda says in an interview that everyone hates her and she… Read full post »

Heroes camp, night 11. Colby proclaims JT a hero, having missed the part of the season where they told everyone which tribe they're on. JT tells everyone his vote at the last tribal wasn't personal, and nobody is happy. Except, you know, Colby. The next morning, JT tells Amanda he would… Read full post »

Villains camp, night 8. Coming back from tribal, Dragon Slayer cries to Knickers McGee that Sandra hurt his feelings as the saddest music in the world plays in the background. Dragon Slayer pouts that it's all for nothing and he no longer looks noble and it's all Sandra's fault and he… Read full post »

My roommate's on Skype with her boyfriend discussing him tattooing his penis, so I'm missing a lot of dialogue. I...yeah, I can't add to that.

Heroes, night 6. After tribal, the usual, "Man, that sucked," feeling pervades the camp. Roger Sterling is still upset with James being an asshole to Steph. JT… Read full post »

Villains camp, night 3: it's raining. It's raining lots. Everyone sits around marvelling at the extent to which it is raining. Rob points out, in an interview, that if they'd sack up and build a shelter, this would not be an issue. Since when is Rob the brains of anything?… Read full post »

Welcome to Rather Abbreviated History 101 with Professor Jeff Probst. Here we are in the South Pacific, where clouds are orange and shit went down in World War II. And speaking of shit going down, two helicopters carry the teams down to the island while the contestants give us their opening… Read full post »

So I completely did not remember there was a Survivor thing tonight, even though the season doesn't start until next week. It was really just a big recap, but here are some things:

1. Yes, we are aware Survivor is hard, and the weather sucks, and the nasty food challenge is nasty,… Read full post »

Once upon a time, I was moved from Houston, Texas, to rural Tennessee. Unless you are particularly fond of riding lawnmowers (I am not), there is exactly nothing to do in rural Tennessee. Rather, there is exactly nothing to do in rural Tennessee until you get your TV up and running.… Read full post »
