Watching Survivor

And how did the weekend treat you? Have I got a bunch of stuff for you today!

The Pool Party is heating up, with Sugarbooger and Danyv fighting for the lead with only 11 points between them! I’m still third, which means there’s room for folks to knock me off and nap a prize still! In fact, anyone can still win, as we’ve a few weeks left, and one good week is all it takes to propel you to the top! Silver and Silent_Rain are creeping up slow and steady, in 4th and 5th place - get those picks in for this week!

Speaking of this week - We have come to the Merge, folks! The press photos show green is the buff color of choice, and there will be a get to know you feast, as usual. That means no Reward Challenge, and Immunity will be for an individual - and that challenge looks ROUGH. How long can YOU hold your breath with your life in the game on the line? Have to give the producers props for this season and for China too - the challenges have been top notch!

And I’m throwing in these two for no other reason then they’re cute and hot. Of course - according to certain people (Probst!) there’s a possibility that Alexis will make the Ozzy/Amanda duo a triangle…

And, to help you with those picks, perhaps, here’s the Probst Preview for Episode Nine - where he mentions this impending shomance triangle…

If you want to read Ami’s interviews - check here, here and here. Turns out she really wasn’t after Ozzy (so she says) and she, too, came away from the season with an injury! Micronesia certainly isn’t for the weak!

And! As I was writing this - Billy Garcia heard my cry for details on the Wrestling Event last Saturday and sent me the a complete play by play - Check after the cut to read all about it!

Direct from Billy’s mouth - er, fingers:

It was a capacity crowd on hand at the Spotswood High gym in Virginia. Amongst the crowd are a host of reality stars there to watch this first time match up with two Survivor contestants facing off in the wrestling ring. The ring announcer tells the audience that this match is a Tag Team match with no disqualification and the person that gets pinned gets his head shaved. Mr. Terrific and Billy Garcia come out with Vyxsin of The Amazing Race accompanying them. Coach Dodson and Jonny Fairplay come out to a live band playing a Godsmack song.

The Match starts with Mr. Terrific going one on one. Terrific gets the upper hand early on with brawling tactics but it doesn’t take long for Coach to turn the tables and get Terrific reeling. Fairplay gets tagged in and hammers Terrific in the corner from the second rope with ten consecutive punches. Terrific stumbles to his own corner and tags in Billy Garcia.

Fairplay and Garcia stare each other down nose to nose as the crowd cheers on. A shoving match in sues but Fairplay is too light for that. Garcia bull rushes him into the corner. Fairplay uses his quickness to turn Garcia into the corner and Fairplay lands three consecutive chops as the crowd woos in Ric Flair like fashion. Fairplay backs up to set up a move but Garcia blocks the punch/closeline attempt. Garcia throws a shot and Fairplay blocks it. Then Fairplay throws a shot Garcia ducks it and nails Fairplay with an atomic drop. Fairplay hits the mat in pain as Garcia gloats. Fairplay gets up and charges Garcia. Garcia catches Fairplay picks him up and nails a back breaker which nearly snaps Fairplay’s back in half over Garcia’s knee. Garcia goes for the pin. Fairplay kicks out before the three count. Garcia grabs Fairplay off the floor and goes for a closeline, Fairplay blocks it, spins around and hits Garcia with his own Brett Hart style close line.

Coach and Terrific jump in and all hell breaks loose. The action spills outside the ring were Coach hits Garcia with a garbage can. Terrific hits Fairplay with a serving tray and the match gets hardcore. As Coach has his back turned setting up a table on the outside Garcia nails Coach with a garbage can. The two Brawl on the outside as Fairplay and Terrific re-enter the ring. Fairplay pulls out salad tongs and clamps Terrific with them in the groin.

Hearing his partner scream Garcia pulls Fairplay out of the ring and begins to pummel Fairplay with a garbage can, then a serving tray. Garcia taunts the ringside fans with every blow he lands on Fairplay. Garcia calls Terrific over and the two grab Fairplay get ready to slam him through the table. Out of no where Coach jumps off the ring apron and saves Fairplay but pays the price as he gets caught by Terrific and Garcia who beat him up then drape him across the table. Garcia then gets up on the ring apron as Terrific holds Coach in place across the table. Garcia takes a running start across the length of the ring apron and jumps in the air like Superfly Snuka and with a body splash brakes the table and Coach Dodson in half. The crowd goes crazy.

Fairplay and Terrific re-enter the ring. As Fairplay gets distracted by Garcia stomping Coach who is still laying in the rubble of the broken table, Michelle from America’s Top Model and the mother of Fairplay’s baby comes out from the audience and into the ring. She sneaks up behind Terrific and hits him with a low blow then nails Terrific with a pedigree. Fairplay turns around and sees Terrific on the floor. He pulls out a chain from his boot, wraps it around his fist, and hits Terrific with the five knuckle shuffle. Fairplay goes for the pin and the referee counts to three. The official winners of the match are Jonny Fairplay and Coach Dodson.

The action didn’t end there. A groggy Mr. Terrific gets up and knocks Fairplay out of the ring. Enraged, Terrific goes after Michelle who’s cowering in the corner. Terrific drags Michelle around the ring by the hair. Shocked at what he sees, an angry Garcia leads all of the reality stars out of the audience and into the ring. Garcia yells at Terrific in a fit of rage “You never put your hands on a woman!” Terrific cowers to his knees and begs off.

Garcia has the reality stars hold Mr. Terrific hostage. Then each of stars takes their turn shaving Terrific’s head. First Michelle, then Garcia, the Vyxsin, on and on it goes before Fairplay takes the last swipes. As Coach and the reality stars celebrates in the ring together, Terrific, now sporting a really ugly hair cut rolls out of the ring, grabs the mic, and proceeds to challenge Coach Dodson and Billy Garcia to a three way dance for his Hardcore title in September out of want of revenge. The ringside fans rip Terrific saying that’s not enough time to grow his hair back. Garcia and Coach accept and the crowd pops one more time. Reality Rumble 2 will happen in September 2008 once again in Spotswood, Virginia.
