Watching Survivor

Sorry, ya’ll - I had a few internet issues yesterday, including a stretch of time with no power. That’ll put a damper on using ye olde internets, for sure! But never fear - the interview round up and misc. other stuff is here!

First off -Mr. Dimples. Do you read Probst’s blogs over at EW’s Popwatch? You know me, i’m mildly obsessed with those dimples, and have been since he first season I watched of Survivor, way back in the Pearl Island days. He’s more than just Dimples and blue shirts thought - the guy is funny! And smart! And cute, but we knew that. Anyway - don’t miss his highlights on Episode Two, which can be found here. Where else can you find such gems as:

Here’s a fact I’ve never admitted before. I secretly pray for rain every time we do a challenge. I love it when it rains. Not just because it turns me on a little bit, but also because it adds so much to the look and play of a Survivor challenge. It amps up the drama, it makes the shots look that much ”cooler,” and like I said, I just like being wet.

I do love that man.

Next up - the interviews with Candace:
Reality News Online, Reality TV Magazine, Reality TV Watch, Buddy TV and Survivor Fans Podcast.

The Survivor Insider transcripts have some itneresting tidbits in them too - like a couple of girls who are already going nuts for a little lovin because they’ve been isolated for Five! Whole! Days! Five days. FIVE DAYS and they’re already looking at each other with “RAWR SEXAY” in their eyes? When they haven’t showered or brushed their teeth? Oh. My.

Think I’m kidding? Check it!

Candace (solo): It’s day 5 and I’m losing my mind. Every day I’m here I get more and more attracted to more people. I don’t know if it’s like being in an isolated environment. Every day I’m here I get more and more attracted to more people. I don’t know if it’s like being in an isolated environment. People are checking out people they would never check out in normal day-to-day life, and I know that’s happening with me, you know what I mean?

(various scenes of Candace ogling people)

Candace: I’m gonna tell you right now, if we win a shower and brush our teeth, I’m getting freaky with somebody.

Erinn: She’s like, “I don’t care who it is. It’s been a long time. I’ve been out here 4 days, I’m done.”

(Below, after the cut - a whole bunch of extra scenes and tidbits, thanks to CBS.)

The previews for Thursday’s show look pretty good as well - what with Tyson’s “I just love seeing people cry when you crush their dreams” and the picture above which I’m pretty sure is Coach and Tyson. Sounds like more backstabbing and treachery ahead!

Speaking of Coach - did you hear he got fired from his job? True! Coach maintains though, that his firing as the woman’s soccer coach at Southwest Baptist University is not due to the way Coach Ben Wade handled himself, even if we all found him to be a cocky SOB. Coach says that his perception on the show wasn’t the problem, just the timing. He swears he’ll be made out to be a hero, but that the timing of the filming of the show is what lead to his coaching demise. The school agreed, and said that they understand it’s reality TV and “they can make it however they want to make it.” The dismissal had nothing to do with Survivor, itself, but rather a misunderstanding here Coach didn’t tell his boss that he left the team with 2 weeks still to compete in the season to film Survivor. Coach wants to concentrate on his television career now. I foresee a remake of Highlander… bad acting and all. How bout you?

Alrighty - that completes the roundup! After he cut - more “secret scenes” and “additional footage” than you can shake a stick at! Including Coach’s excuses for his poor challenge performance. Ya don’t wanna miss that!

Spenser cuts himself - Sandy to the rescue. Her daughter had a butcher shop, ya know!

Why did Sandy try to pull off Erinn’s top?

Aw. Poor Coach hates losing. Poor baby. Funny, I don’t recall him doing much of anything to prove his own athletic prowess during the challenge…

Candace wants to get freaky!

Sandy offers up her bra hooks to use for fishing…

Animal tracks at Exile…

Ad last, but not least - Candace, the day after:

Whew! Enjoy!
