Erik - The Most Stupidest Survivor Idiot Ever
Wow! I must admit I enjoyed the episode of Survivor 16 in Micronesia last night in which Erik fell prey to the ladies who suckered him into giving up his immunity.
 |
Erik was blindsighted and voted off last night.
Is anyone other than Erik suprised??? |
As the last remaining Survivor girls were scheming last night, I kept thinking to myself how no one could be so stupid as to give up immunity. They were guilting Erik into making a gesture to show the jury he was redeeming himself for his lying and manipulating by giving his immunity necklace to Natalie.
Even Natalie didn’t believe Erik would fall for it - but Cirie helped push him over the edge saying she needed to see a gesture in order for her tochange her vote to get rid of Amber.
Erik fell for it.
The odd thing is he had immunity - what purpose could changing the vote to Amber make in his quest to be in the final 4???
And to makie matters worse - Erik has been had in the past when he was convinced to do something in return for not getting votes. They were ready to slam him before.
Super Survivor 16 and Many Returns
Super Survivor 16 and Many Returns by Roxanne McDonald

TBA is the return date of “Survivor”, which will be the 16th installment but which will return to Palau and will also see the return of ten former “Survivor” players plus the first time participation of “Survivor” superfans. |
Just when you were thinkin’ “Survivor” has pulled all the stops it can and has done all the twists it can muster, a new hybrid of the award-winning reality show is put into the making: “Survivor: Micronesia.”
Working on the same general location as 2004’s “Survivor: Palau,” “Survivor: Micronesia” (air date which will be announced on Thursday, February 7th) will offer the 16th installment of the most-watched Thursday-night programming, but with greater tweaks than ever before (…so the hype goes):
Subtiled “Fans vs. Favorites,” “Survivor” 16 will face off returning players (a.k.a. all-stars, but more, fan favorites from the past seasons) in the tribe confirmed as being Orulok with “die-hard” fans of the show in tribe Angaur (the name taken from one of Palau’s most populated islands, which I dig as a great play on “populace/popularity,” don’t you?)
According to the leak (over at Cold Leftovers), the following fan favorites will play the fans who voted for them:
Survivor Favorites: Where are They Now?
Survivor Favorites: Where are They Now? by Roxanne McDonald
 |
Where are Rupert and Jenna and Rob—and what are they doing now? Some of us would love to know. |
The most evil, the most foul, or the most well-behaved and therefore most well-deserving are often the ones who get the most air (and press) time. But the most popular, the fan favorites, and my personal favorite are the ones I would like to look into and inquire about.
According to AOL’s TV Guide report, IMDB, and other informational sites, the evil ones are where they deserve to be: Richard Hatch was a bit too manipulative for his own
good, but got what he deserved when he landed in jail for tax evasion. Jon “Johnny Fairplay” Dalton, the ass who lied that his grandmother had just died so he could get an edge up in the Survivor: Pearl Islands competition, is so nasty a personality that he can’t even keep a job. And loathesome Jerri Manthey, of “Survivor: The Australian Outback,” who was so vile a personality that we booed at home and audiences booed at the reunion (driving her to do a stage exit-pdq), has gone into acting only to appear in marginal productions….
But favorite Survivors, often brought back for such inclusive events as all-star episodes and seasons, are the ones who deserve more acclaim than they might get.
My favorite survivors include Rupert Boneham, who was a contestant on “Survivor: Pearl Islands” (making his first claim to fame when he absconded in pirate style some pillaged pile of stuff—they were all directed to do to begin with), who was also the favorite of all voting television viewers. Boneham paid off debts with his winnings, and then went on to do the next most admirable thing one can do with great wads of cash: found a helping organization—which in this case was a center for troubled teens.
Former Survivors: Is it Surprising to Learn Where They are Now?

How many of the “Survivor” contestants and winners have exacted self-fulfilling prophecy of a sort? |
AOL TV Guide, RealityReel.com, and other sites have compiled info on the survivors past, and if you are anything like me—always seeking out the former reality TV show contestants or band members or television show characters, to see what they are up to—you will be interested to know about some of these “characters”.
Richard Hatch, the first “Survivor” winner, is in jail for tax evasion. I thought this guy was a lawyer?! Wouldn’t he know better than to fail to pay? Hell, even I know the details on taxes, though I am so broke that I am still behind for one year (and sure could use some—a very small part of, actually—that million, Rich).
Kelly Wigglesworth, runner-up to Richard Hatch and the one who took the most severe tongue-lashing in the history of Survivor, is a white-water rafting instructor and was (or is?) a host of E!’s “Celebrity Adventures.”
Susan Hawk, the one who bestowed upon Wigglesworth the wrath of the sore losers, in that at-first funny then just disgustingly obnoxious Midwestern dialect, not only runs a juice bar in Las Vegas but is evidently a host on the TV Guide Channel (in that little insert window when the cable goes out and we wait for it to lock in again? Where?)….
Tina Wesson, first woman in Survivor (The Australian Outback) history to win, bought a ranch in the mountains where she moved with her family; participated in Survivor: All-Stars (but was voted out in week one); and had her house re-modeled on the HGTV-sponsored “Designer’s Challenge.” More notably, however, Wesson is a spokesperson for the National Arthritis Foundation, and continues to compete—in golf and racquetball tournaments.
Winner of Survivor: Africa, Ethan Zohn founded Grassroots Soccer, which helps spread the word about AIDS in Africa; and contributes consistently to such movements and organizations as Kick AIDS, the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids organization, YouthAids, the Colon Cancer Alliance, and American Scores, for which he is a spokesperson. For many of his charitable efforts, Zohn has won awards; and continues to participate in television and other charity and other challenges—such as Reality TV Star Fear Factor and Eco-challenge.

Survivor Astrology–Does it Matter What Sign You Are?
Survivor Astrology–Does it Matter What Sign You Are? by Roxanne McDonald

Will ethnic origins make a dil-dillio-difference in winning Survivor? Did gender? Did age? Did weight gain or loss? How about planetary alignment assigning one’s fate? |
Maybe next season, if this is not bizarre enough, and since we’ve been through groupings and identification by careers and lifestyles, genders, and ages and this season are seeing the social experiment of Survivor tribes teamed by ethnicities, Survivor could audition for twenty potentials based on (Western) astrology.
Realizing that I am no expert, just a curious individual fascinated by the personal interaction and characteristics of astrological groups, let’s look at this season, based on what we know so far and have been made privy to thus far. (That is, given only the final edits of the show and the information of each Cook Islander’s date of birth, what tendencies point to success, superiority – or attitudes of – and survival as we of TV reality fanaticism know it?)
First, this season there are no Geminis and no Libras.
The absence may be unremarkable, but maybe, just maybe, the absence of the powerful air element of Libras and Geminis might account for the tribe’s being unable to make fire on their own, without flints and other tools.
Further, while there are two Aquarians (often considered the brainiest of the bunch), the Hiki tribe has no air sign, which could also account for their lack of communication in a challenge that was about teams building puzzles – which we would expect would require communication.
And while thoughtfulness is a key attribute assigned to air signs, Libras are also about seeking balance, and maybe balance is not what the makers of the show consider good, challenging, conflicted interpersonal dynamics.
There are five fire signs playing on Survivor this season – two Aries, 2 Leos, and a Sagittarian. Christina is an Aries and the only fire sign in Aitu; Cao Boi is also an Aries,
Racially Divided Survivor: Cook Islands premiers on Sept. 14
Are you ready for a Racially Divided Survivor: Cook Islands???
|
Sure, why not???
Survivor Cook Islands is just a reality TV show!
And Survivor is a damned good one at that! |
Commentator Tucker Carlson was trying to make a case last night on his show Tucker (why did they change it?) on MSNBC,
that he was terribly offended by the new season of Survivor dividing it’s contestants into tribes, er groups by race. No one else on the panel seemed as offended and Tucker just beat it to a pulp whining about how he will not watch it. (read more…)
Jenna Morasca has a TV Journal
I was just buzzing along looking at the latest news in TV and found that one of my ultimate dream girls Jenna Morasca, winner of a million bucks on Survivor, has her own TV Journal at the CBS News site!
Very interesting!
In “Jenna’s TV Journal” she dishes out her opinions on such shows at Treasure Hunters, Hell’s Kitchen. Rock Star: Supernova, Last Comic Standing, Big Brother: All-Stars, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, America’s Got Talent and Who Wants To Be A Superhero! (read more…)
