Watching Survivor

…but he’s Sugar’s snake! Or is he?

I suppose we’ll find out tomorrow on Survivor, but this could be the biggest blunder of the season that we’ve been promised - and if so? It once again involves the Hidden Immunity Idol. From what I can tell on the promos, Ace is getting a little too smug for his own good, and that NEVER bodes well for a survivor! Who will fall victim to it, though - him or Sexy Sugar?

He even utters those terrible two words…. “Trust me.”

In the meantime - here’s GC’s interview roundup: Reality News Online, Reality Wanted, Survivor Fans Podcast, TV Guide.

The New York Post also did a writeup on the REAL star of last week’s episode: the Elephanants. What? That’s how my nephew says it - and I made SURE he got the call when it was Survivor time just so he could watch that four minutes of Survivor: Gabon goodness. Props to the Producers for allowing us to bask in the amazement along with the contestants for a full 4 minutes that would have otherwise been more of Ace’s backstabbing plans, or Randy’s self-congratulatory and mocking confessionals.

In news of our favorite Mr. Dimples - he and Mark Burnett are teaming up again for another Reality TV Show created by Jeff Probst himself, that he’ll also host. The pilot for Live like you’re dying will be filmed after Survivor 18 has finished filming, and involves featuring one person per episode who’s been given a diagnosis of a terminal illness, with a finite time to live. The show will follow that person as they are taken on ‘the last adventure of their life’, giving them the chance to live out their dream, as well as reunite with long lost friends, feuding family members, etc. Probst insists the show won’t be a debbie downer or morbid, but rather will focus on inspirational messages, telling stories about living to inspire people to get the most out of their lives every single day. No word yet on when we might see the pilot, or any other information on the series - but we’ll certainly be on the lookout for it!

I’ll get Probst’s preview up here as soon as it’s posted! Don’t forget to make your WS Pool Party picks for the week before showtime tomorrow!
