Watching Survivor

So what are you doing in between commercials? Because that’s the best part of any Superbowl, of course! Me, I’m just working on our Survivor Pool. Jim has set us up with a fancy smancy widget that’ll be on the sidebar shortly, but for now - get the leaders in the pool, and join right from here!

How cool is that? Thanks Jim! Need help making your picks? No problem! Check out the posts here, here, here and here, and see some of the early comments on the contestants!

And if that’s not enough for ya, thanks to a poster at SurvivorSucks, here’s a scan of the Entertainment Weekly article from the other day:

Be sure to check out EW.Com too for Survivor Insider Videos, and get the inside scoop on some of the contestants and the upcoming season!

This morning, Mr. Dimples himself stopped by Live with Regis & Kelly this morning to talk a bit about the show. As we’ve heard rumored about - this is a season of GREAT things, one of which Jeff alludes too on Live: The most Intimate Footage Ever Shot on Survivor. Not only that, but this Showmance/Romance is shown in Episode TWO!

TWO! Good lord, that’s only 6 days to decide you like someone enough to sneak off and make out with them. That’s… fast. So who do you think it is? There’s been rumblings of an Ozzy/Amanda hookup, and a James/Parvati hookup. (Oh James. Don’t break my heart like that! That’s not how to step up your social game!) So which one could it be?

At any rate - here’s the segment on Live, thanks to SurvivorPheonix!

And don’t forget about our Pool Party! Head over to FunOfficePools and sign up! There’s less then a week left to make your picks and get ready for the Season Premiere on Thursday!

Just like previous years, the winner of last season has helped out by hosting the TV Guide’s preview for this season. I gotta say that Todd surprised me! He did MUCH better then Yul did, and while Earl wasn’t bad, Todd is a total natural in front of the camera and with his voiceovers. Of course, it helps that I love the guy, don’t it? (LOL)

There’s introductions to the location, the Tribes, the crew, and added thoughts of Probst on each of the Survivors that have been chosen to tackle Palau. Bikinis, strategies, snarkiness, determination, delight - it’s all here!

Don’t forget to sign up for the Watching Survivor Pool! With less then a week to go - the time to sign up is NOW, and after watching the videos, you’ve a bit more of a feel for the contestants and can make your picks with a bit of insider info!
