Your Tribe has Spoken, Bitch.


Survivor has been on for a long ass time. It was really a pioneer in reality television -- love it or hate it. I find it odd that people can't believe this show is still on when I tell them that I still watch it. It's had it's share of shitty seasons but it's been more good than bad--and the past few years have just been getting progressively better. Can you really say that about most reality shows? American Idol? The Bachelor? America's Next Top Model? They all suck balls now. I should argue that I've never really been into the Bachelor/ette so I can't say if it's actually gotten WORSE or not, but from what I've seen...its garbage. Anywho. I have watched every season of Survivor except for one, and although every season has it's share of alliances, immunity idols, and Probst making his awesome commentary during challenges, it hasn't lost its lustre.
When I heard that season 20(!) was going to be Heroes vs Villains...I was ecstatic. My all-time favorite Survivor boyfriend, Colby, was back in action along with 19 other players that I've loved to watch (um except for Danielle (who??) and Candice...wtf were they thinking casting those two? WHO CARES ABOUT THEM!!! They were nobodies...). In some past seasons when they've had players return it hasn't fared too well...either they'll play differently and become a jackass (James this year...yikes..asshole), or get voted out too early (Yauman - the inventor of the fake immunity idol which revived the game in some instances), or get injured and have to leave the game earlier than you wanted them to (Johnathan). This season though? It's fucking GOLD. Every week it gets more and more exciting, with great blindsides and strategic moves being made (um...along with some DUMBASS moves...but that's why its awesome).


Starting with Sugar getting her bewbs ripped out of her top on the first challenge and then winning and flipping the bird, Boston Rob playing a good game and actually being LIKEABLE, Coach (lol...all around. You're a small man.), the "banana etiquette", JT's love letter to Russell, Parvati pulling one of the BEST moves in Survivor ever...I will be REALLY sad to see it come to an end. I wouldn't be sad either if they decided to end the ride at the end of this season, it would be a great note and season to end on. I think it's going to keep going though, and as long as it's on, I'll watch it.
Here is a snippet from the last tribal council, one of the greatest moves ever by Parvati...I can't believe I just said that because I don't like her...but I give credit where credit's due.

Your tribe has spoken.
