Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, Rich's video-in-lieu-of-recap for last week's ANTM might be the funniest thing I've seen all year. [link]

Yay, Danielle. She's still so pretty
Oh, Tyra. Ice skating . . . you do love me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I gotta post about Survivor right now! Even though I've had a glass or so of wine, this demands discussion!
To some extent, I admire the strategy-- taking a big risk in Survivor, playing the game qua game, is really what it's about. But I don't think I would have agreed with Peih Gee (aka P.G.). It assumes way too much-- it assumes that the merge takes place at ten (why not eight or nine?); it assumes Frosti and Sherea don't get turned, and it assumes that Aaron and James can't be turned. I just think it's *always* a mistake to put yourself in tribal council. Your strategy at base has to be to avoid going to tribal, to avoid drawing votes. I've never seen a team come back stronger from tribal-- they always come back stronger after *winning challenges.* Maybe I'm wrong, and this strategy is too conservative.
Just this: never throw a challenge!

Oh, while I'm here, I have two random reality tidbits.
One of Bob Bob's colleagues is a poker player who has played with Jean-Robert. He says JR is not a good poker player-- he takes too many risks. He has no idea how JR made a living at poker unless he breaks even or is a "trust fund poker player."
Reality tidbit #2. This morning I was in the Starbucks in my work building and I saw a young guy in a suit that kind of hung off him, with two other guys. The guy looked really familiar , but I couldn't figure it out-- if I went to law school with him, why did he look so fresh-faced? If he was a first-year associate at my firm, why didn't I remember seeing him before, and who were those other guys? Finally, as I left the S-bucks, I saw he was in a different elevator bay than mine, so not a co-worker. I realized who it was-- Lee, the extremely young observant virgin from The Apprentice! I felt kind of bad for the guy. He must get people looking at him quizzically (like me!) all day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
He says JR is not a good poker player
Color me not at all surprised.

No one else watched Survivor? Or at least was disturbed by either (a) producer meddling or (b) challenge throwing?

Thrive to spite them
I only watched part of it. So I didn't realize that what's her name throwring the piece to the side was challenge throwing until they admitted it to their tribe member. (and frankly I think at that time I would have decided to thrown in with the other guys and vote one of the girls off).
What was the producer meddling?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I watched! I was more concerned by challenge-throwing stupidity,than by the producer meddling (I assumeyoyu mean changing the tribe sup by trading two players?). I notice Jeff wasn't too happy either.
Also no one mentioned that everyone got new bathing suits (or at least the bathing suits they probably packed). I guess those stuck competing in their underwear were getting uncomfortable.
