memoirs on a rainy day

This season of Survivor has finally wrapped up. As always, Survivor is very entertaining. I thought that when the boys got voted out that it would get less entertaining, but it didn’t.

The big surprise was that it was only a final two, not a final three. After the survivors were down to only three, it was predictable who would be in the final two.

Instead of focusing on her accomplishments of the last few months, Amanda focused on being nice. She needed to assert herself more and tell the jury what she had done in order to win. She didn’t.

By far the biggest moves in this season were the blindsides. Ozzy, Jason, Alexis, Erik and even some of the earlier ones got blindsided. The fans should have known that something like that would happen. Just like Cirie said, the fans were younger and less experienced. They wouldn’t have been able to pull the wool over the eyes of more experienced players.

This was a good season of Survivor. It’s been touted as one of the best ever. I still think that Survivor All Stars was the best season of Survivor.

The HM are all in the eviction room. It’s time for the first eviction.

Jackie and Kyle think that Corey is fitting in very nicely. It’s good to see the real Corey.

They go live to the eviction room. It’s obvious that Corey and Bianca have a love/hate relationship. Bianca says that it’s more hate. The Nobster says that he’s forgiven Terri.

The official bottom three are David, Rebecca and Saxon. Terri, Nathan and Corey are immune from eviction this week. BB says that one of the nominees is about to be thrown a lifeline.

After FNL, the strategy opens for Travis and Renee. In this room, HM can openly discuss nominations and tactics. They also receive some pizza. The HM don’t know this initially, but what happens in the strategy room is broadcasted to the rest of the BBAU house. However, this transmission doesn’t have any sound.

Travis is called to the diary room. He is told who the bottom 3 HM are. They are Dixie, Rebecca and Saxon. He can discuss this with Renee, but only Renee.

Lost is a United States serial drama television series that follows the lives of plane crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island, after a passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia and Los Angeles, United States crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode typically features a primary storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character’s life. The show was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber, and is filmed primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004. Since then, three seasons have aired. The show is produced by ABC Studios, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions and airs on the ABC Network in the United States. Its incidental music is composed by Michael Giacchino. The current executive producers are Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender and Carlton Cuse. Because of its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming in Hawaii, the series is one of the most expensive on television.

The HM in the danger zone tonight are Alice, David, Dixie, Rebecca and Saxon. My guess is that Alice, Saxon and David will get nominated.

The Nobster gets woken up at 7:44AM. They have to clean up the back yard once again. There is no confetti this time, so it will be easier. As the HM say this, confetti explodes over the back yard. It’s funny. It will take the HM a long time to clean this up.

The girls that are left in Survivor definitely have the upper hand. As much as Erik is the Survivor über-geek, he isn’t a match for that much manipulations.

The girls just want to get rid of Erik. If he wins immunity, they will have to get rid of one of their own. The only reason that Erik has stayed in the game, is because he’s won immunity many times in a row.

This was actually a great episode. I’m surprised how easily the girls were able to dupe Erik. Having been a fan for so long must have schooled him in the art of the blindside. That’s what you’d guess, but he didn’t see it coming, especially when all of the girls were working together just to get rid of him.

Naturally, Erik wins immunity. This puts all of the girls in disarray. They know that one of their own will leave. They decide to get rid of Nat. Amanda and Cirie suggest that she tries to manipulate Erik into giving her his immunity necklace. The way things are going for him, he will never get enough votes in the finals. At least, that’s what they are trying to convince him of.

Erik is naive and easily manipulated. Their plan works easily since Cirie and others are working toward that goal as well. The jury is flummoxed when Erik gives up his immunity. The girls were also surprised that their plan worked out. Erik is the dumbest Survivor in the history of the game. That’s what Parv says to the camera.

Women’s Murder Club is a police procedural drama on ABC based on the James Patterson books. It features a series of women who work together to solve cases. Lindsay Boxer is a Detective Inspector in the San Fransisco PD. Jill Bernhardt is the ADA. Claire Washburn is the medical examiner. Cindy Thomas is a reporter that works with them on police cases.

I haven’t read the James Patterson books, but the title is pretty lame. I mean, come on. Women’s murder club? WTF! Basically the main characters are all in one aspect of law enforcement, from the police, to the coroner to the DA’s office. A new member of the club is part of the media.

When I think of the title of this show, I think about a bunch of women drinking tea and investigating a murder. None of them would be involved in law enforcement, they’d just be interested in murders and solving them, kind of like a babysitter club. OK, maybe not a babysitter club, but you get the idea.
