Survivor: Blood vs. Water - "F*** you Brad Culpepper!" Oct 2, 2013: First off, I'm sorry for Rachel and Tyson; I actually was rooting for them, a little.

More "importantly," though - if you can even call any of what I say important (it's not; don't kid yourself) - Colton just showed the world that he's not going to change, probably affirming everyone's thoughts on him... he's pretty much just a baby. I won't explain my thoughts any further, because Jeff put it best... when things aren't going well for Colton, he quits. And thank the good lord for that, because honestly, I wouldn't want to be seeing his crap every time I watch Survivor.

More important(er), and the point of this post, is that Brad Culpepper guy. He's doing a good job of pissing people off... including me. I commend Marissa for her reaction (hence the title). I don't know that it was necessary (it certainly didn't accomplish anything), but nonetheless, I enjoyed that. At every single redemption, from now until the end of Culpepper's game, he'll get heat, and it makes sense. The guy plays too hard... He's trying to move everybody the way he wants, and while it's working for him now, it won't work for long... The other guys in his alliance are catching on...
For pissing everyone off, Brad Culpepper's days are numbered. (Sorry Monica); Points: 2 2 comments
Survivor: Blood vs. Water - Colton Sep 28, 2013: Every season needs its drama, and, once again, Colton is fulfilling the role. I don't know if anybody can really be surprised about his attitude ("change") this season. I for one, did not see the smile on his face lasting long... although I kind of did expect it to last a little longer than it did. His emotions run way too high for this game. I can't honestly say I blame him for wanting to be with Caleb, especially since Caleb's just out of his reach, but keep it in check, buddy.
Another issue that Colton has, is his eagerness to win. There's just too much of it. It's not a problem that he's thinking so far ahead (as of episode 2); the problem is that he voices it too much. The guy doesn't know how to not worry about getting to the end, and he shows it vividly. Most of the time, the people who do get to the end, aren't so boisterous, and disruptive. He needs to tone down a lot, if he's going to get anywhere... but we all know the chances of any change in this kid.
Because you are too far ahead of everyone else, and you're strongly oppininoated and emotional about everything that happens to you (not to mention pessimistic), Colton Cumpie, GO HOME.; Points: 0 0 comments
Surivor: Blood vs. Water - Predictions Sep 24, 2013: It’s difficult, really, to do this right at the beginning, but it isn’t much of a prediction half way through the game. That’s more of an estimate. So without further ado, I’ll go through each contestant of this Survivor season, and give my two cents on their chances in the game.

Aras: The only thing Aras has against him is his Panama win. Granted, that was a while ago, so maybe that target will slip off his back. Not to mention that he’s not the only returnee to win. Assuming he still has it in him after 8 years (which it seems he may), he could have a pretty good shot.

Vytas: Aside from his association to Aras, Vytas doesn’t have much that would put a target on him. He may turn out to be a physical threat, but then so could anybody else… I could see Vytas working against his brother in this, even though it does appear that the two decided to take part in this game as a reconciling endeavour. Chances of this guy winning look pretty good as it stands, especially if his all-male alliance sticks up.

Candice: Already in hot water. If she can squeeze past the next few eliminations she might be able to punch out a good spot in this season (maybe go for 8th, again?).

John: I don’t see why this guy can’t do well for himself. If Candice is eliminated before the couple get to reunite, he could cement himself a good spot… barring his emotions don’t get the best of him.

Colton: Everybody loves to hate this guy. Last time, he played the “Holier than Thou” card, now he’s playing the “Woah is me” card. Either way, I don’t like Colton Cumbie. He might get some sympathy for the first week or so (if that), but it will wear out, and become more annoying than anything, if it doesn’t stop. He won’t get too far.

Caleb: This guy looks like he would do well on his own. He seems like he’s got his head in a better spot than his partner, and I think that if he gets to the merge without Colton (Which I wouldn’t be surprised to see happen), he could do some damage.

Gervase Peterson: Thirteen years removed might be a bit too long for this one. If anything, I would have thought (probably similarly to most other people), that all those years would have given Gervase some maturity. I guess not. His effort in challenges is another big blow to his potential. He wants Laura B. out, but he’ll probably be snuffed before he sees that happen.

Marissa Peterson: Presumably, her issue is her uncle. On top of that, though, she doesn’t seem to do well physically. I’m actually expecting her to drop out of Redemption, first.

Kat: She has potential, socially, and physically. Where she becomes a target, is in her association to her already successful, and thus threatening, Big Brother Boyfriend. A smart idea for her, would be to pull up another alliance, because if she doesn’t she’ll be hung out to dry by Hayden’s elimination.

Hayden: Welcome to the Jungle, city boy. Everybody already knows this kid as being the Big Brother 12 winner, so clearly there could be a target on his back. For now, he has his physical presence working for him, but once the merge hits, you can probably expect Hayden to have a tough time.

Laura M.: Nothing really sticks out when it comes to reasons to get rid of Laura Morett. She only got half way through Samoa, so she doesn’t have much on her record. I think Laura has it in her to win this time around.

Ciera: I don’t know about this girl’s physical potential. It’s probably there, but it’s tough to tell this early on. If that turns out to be a dud, Ciera won’t see the merge, especially with the all-male alliance of five running around on her tribe.

Monica: Without the star husband in Brad Culpepper hanging around, she shouldn’t have too many eyes on her. She didn’t even make the merge her first time around, so, much like Laura, she doesn’t have much to say she shouldn’t be kept. That being said, it might be that Monica brings nothing to her tribe, physically, which may be where she falls short. If she can play a good social game, she might be okay.

Brad: There is obviously a stigma surrounding this Ex-NFL D-back. How positive or negative this stigma is, is difficult to tell, seeing as he is 12 years removed from the job. It looks as though Brad is out to play the social aspect of Survivor, and if he can keep up a physical presence, he might do well. Let’s hope he doesn’t shoot himself in the foot any more.

Rupert: I don’t know what it is about this guy, but every Survivor contestant who has ever faced Rupert seems to have a hate on for him. My best bet is that he’s too well rounded for everyone else to handle. Regardless, Rupert has his work cut out for him already. I think he could get by Redemption Island, but I can see the rest of the players swinging him right back out there.

Laura B.: This woman has the unfortunate task of being married to one of the most feared Survivor contestants ever. While I’m sure having Rupert around in the real world is a blessing (minus the lack of aesthetic pleasure – no offense to the man), I don’t see the connection working in Laura’s favour while she’s in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She may get by for a while, thanks to the more eminent priority of eliminating more useless contestants before her, it is clear that nobody wants to give the Bonehams an opportunity to work together in this game. All I can say is Good Luck.

Tina: Congratulations on Australia. I still don’t understand why Colby appeared more ecstatic than her… but that’s not the point. The problem for Tina is her physical game. She wasn’t any bit of a physical threat in Australia, so unless she’s been hitting the gym every day since (which it looks like she hasn’t), the last 12 years probably hasn’t improved her chances in this regard. The difference between Australia and now is that the game was based on morals. Now, morals are all but out the window. Unless she can play some amazing mind games, I see something similar to her All-Star “appearance”.

Katie: Already in hot water, it seems. Katie doesn’t look like she’ll bring much to the table in this game, and may very well be the next castaway shipped off to Redemption. Of course, we don’t know much about her social game yet…

Tyson: One of the few people who I can actually see winning, at this point. Much like Laura M., and Monica, Tyson hasn’t made himself dramatically known to the rest of the castaways. We know he can win a challenge for himself (and his tribe), and his social game probably won’t be too shabby, either… as long as he doesn’t get confused with the votes…

Rachel: The final castaway, and another potential winner, I think. By association to Tyson, she might have a good chance, but let’s not leave everything up to her man. She certainly won’t. Rachel seems fairly independent, and more than willing to put all of her effort into fighting through her next few weeks (assuming she makes it so far). I won’t be surprised to see Rachel as one of the last remaining players in this game.

I’ll place better luck on those who have lost their loved ones (sorry for the dark image) come merge time. Because there is no emotional attachment, and more importantly, no real obvious allegiances, these players could have a smooth ride to the finish (maybe if they band together). Then again, my thoughts could be shared by the contestants who have their loved ones with them. Needless to say, this season should be, at the very least, interesting.; Points: 0 1 comments
Survivor: Blood vs. Water - First Impression Sep 23, 2013: This is all a bunch of gibberish, probably, because everybody has their own opinions, but I'll share mine (think what you will).
The concept of family members playing against each other in the same survivor season brings me mixed emotions. On one hand, I think it is kind of cool to have a sort of family rivalry in the game. For that reason, I like this season. On the other hand, I am getting kind of tired of returning players... it would be nice if they threw in an entirely fresh cast sooner or later. But for the concept of this season, I am honestly looking forward to the next 16 weeks.
It is hard for me to make predictions, obviously, this early into the season, but I feel like a lot of these players have reasons that they will lose. So I'll give my two cents on each contestant... soon to come in another blog.; Points: 0 0 comments
Boston Strong Apr 23, 2013: I hit a soft spot for the Bruins the other night, when they had their memorial for those affected by the Boston Bombing. I never was a Bruins fan (and never will be), but I can't honestly say I hate them, any more. Cheers to all the people who payed tribute to the victims (in North America, and around the world). It's really disheartening to see this kind of stuff. But then really comforting to see the strength in the community afterwards.
For not only the people in Boston, but everyone else who has been affected by such awful incidents. stay BOSTON STRONG.; Points: 14 0 comments
Survivor: Caramoan - Bad Ideas Mar 14, 2013: I know I haven't played this game in real life, so maybe I'm a little out of line in saying what you're about to read, but it really annoys me when a tribe throws a challenge. I understand that yesterday Brandon was pretty loose, but I'm not so sure that throwing a challenge can ever be a good idea. We had the Favourites, who were kicking ass (only having gone to TC once, compared to the Fans' 3 times), and then they threw it all away. Maybe it was for the best; like Dawn says "what's best for Brandon," but there goes momentum. Now I'm expecting Fan's to start winning a few...
Or at least the tribe with more fans, as next week is a tribal switch. I really can't guess at all on that, but it does look like a bit of saving grace for Corinne.

Feel free to share your thoughts. I look forward to reading what people think.; Points: 17 3 comments
