Sorry for the blogging bleakness.... I'd really like to keep blogging after Survivor ends, but it seems silly to blog about non-Survivor topics on a Survivor blog. Thoughts?
Anyway, the new season is starting on FEBRUARY 15th! Hurrah! It's called Survivor: One World. They all are going to be living together, but will be divided into two teams. So it's interesting because they have to decide whether or not to help each other, share resources, etc. Also, you've got the other tribe right there, so they see what's going on. AND, players will be able to make alliances outside of their own tribe. Do I like it? Not sure yet, but willing to give it a go. As always, I love that a show that's gone on for ummmm.. 24 seasons I think (!!!!) keeps changing it up, even if it's just a little. Also, I like that it's not Redemption Island again and that there are no former Survivors and no Hantzes (I think).
The cast this time out looks even more "modelly" than ever. Seriously, I think there are more six-packs on this show than at my local beer store. I think I see one older dude. Let's see... looking through the list.... they're almost all in their 20's.... Ugh. Older dude is Greg, 64, plastic surgeon. Ha! Not going to find any clients here, Greg. Oh yeah, there's Jay, 25, model. Go figure. He'll be our team God player this time out, and I think possibly the winner of the mimbo contest as well. The female version.... probably Kat, 22. Her heroes - if she were "normal" would be "Abraham Lincoln or Donald Trump" (uh, WTF?) but because she's not normal, her hero is Xena, Warrior Princess. Surprisingly, she also mentions that she's "very good at getting my way." Right. Good luck.
Oh, we've got Nina, 51, token older female. No, she's a retired LAPD officer. She looks fit. Perhaps she'll arrest someone for looking too good. And Monica, 41, and *gulp* her occupation is listed as "Ex-NFL Player's Wife." Holy hell, is that an occupation now? Ugh. If you've eaten recently, I wouldn't suggest reading her inspiration in life. She goes on about her football star hubby for quite a long while, then ends with, "Best part is.... I helped build him!"
Ok, moving on... We've got a girl, Kourtney, 29, who's a Motorcycle Repair person. I like her so far (on paper). She lists "motorcycles, knitting and cocktails" as hobbies and says she has "no patience... for folks who regularly enjoy the smell of their own farts." And, she's not in a bikini in her photo.
We've got a guy named Leif, 27, who is a Phlebotomist. I won't lie, I have to look that one up. (He's a specialist in veins.) Adorable 21 year-old gay man, Colton, who thinks he'll be sole Survivor because he's "confident, hilarious, athletic, good looking, adorable and I have good teeth with a hint of Southern charm." Good teeth? Alright, I like him.
Kim, 29, owns a bridal shop and can "figure out what animal a person would be within five minutes of meeting them." Uh-huh. And Matt Quinlan, 33, is an attorney who says that his personal claim to fame is "starting up my own law firm; The Law Offices of Matthew J. Quinlan." Would have been OK to stop at "starting my own law firm" right? Quick, Kim, name an animal that's redundant!
Jonas, 37, is a sushi chef and seems nice & normal. Nice. Same with Michael, 30, Banker.... also seems normal-ish but with lovely abs. And Troy is 50, but in the tiny website picture looks 30 and is a Swimsuit photographer (ah, someone else who might get some clients out of this gig!) My favourite thing about Troy is that his "Personal claim to fame" is "adopting and raising my family of 12 marmoset monkeys." Also, one of his pet peeves is women with man hands!!! Delightful.
Right, so on paper I'm cheering for Kourtney, Nina and Troy and maybe for Colton's teeth.
