Survivor has always been my favorite show. But now, I’m not sure how I can focus on other parts of life for the remaining six days in between episodes. I’m a sucker for drama. Backstabbing. Lying. And yes, I am a sucker for 100% stupidity. (Did I spell that right? Or is that even a word?)
I watched the first episode of Survivor “Redemption Island” on Friday night (On Demand commercial free of course) with my wife. Where to start…Phillip Sheppard a 52-year-old Special Agent. Ahhhum? A Special Agent? If this guy is a Special Agent then this country is in trouble. As every word comes out of his mouth, I am sure there is someone in the Defense Department throwing up in their lap. He claims to have done “interviews” for the Defense Department to find out whether or not “certain” people are trustworthy. Is this what we have our National Security doing? Hiring people to find out who we can trust? I got your answer right now… NO ONE. Can someone please send me a check? This guy is a nut-job. The producers are brilliant, although he won’t last another week. Go to the CBS website right now and watch his interview for 2 minutes and 18 seconds…and then go punch yourself in the face for wasting 2 minutes and 18 seconds of your life.
Kristina Kell is a 46 year-old law student from Malibu, California. If this chick EVER gets a case after this show, it will have to be defending a run-away from the Looney Bin. First thing this lady did was hunt for the hidden immunity idol behind everyone’s back. She found it. Then she turned into a Redemption Island train wreck. She tried getting “Crazy” Phillip to join her illustrious group of nut-bags. Smart move. That’s like picking Carrot Top to be your wing-man in Top Gun school. Then she turned around and recruited Francesca (36 year old attorney from D.C.) to be on the team. Francesca was so annoying she was voted out before anyone got off the boat.
Boston Rob, Russell, a few other nerds and a couple of babes round out the cast. It should be a good season. My money is on Boston Rob. He’s too cool, too smooth, and has just the right amount of “I don’t give a crap” attitude to win the million dollars.
So, while the trade deadline continues to get closer, and NHL teams continue to trade players, take a break from reality and check out my favorite reality show, Survivor “Redemption Island”. It will be the best hour you can never get back.
