Suvivor South Pacific

Sorry for such a late post on this. For some reason I didn't want to get back to blogging, I liked my little (yes it did seem very little) summer break. Frankly though I think these blogs are going to be exactly what I need this semester because I am taking journalism classes and this will be a relief to write about something I enjoy but just so you know the weeks I have dead lines I may not update but I will do my best.

So first I am going to give you guys a bit of an update on my favorite contestants and then I will talk about the episode.

Savaii Tripe:

Semhar- I didn't like her, I hated that she complained for something she volunteered for. She seems like a weak contestant. I think she is someone I could love to hate though, she doesn't bother me that much.

Mark- Gay Detective. He was kind of funny, I think he seems like a loyal player especially to the other old contestants.

John- Law School, Survivor Fan. I always really want to like the survivor fans because I believe I am a HUGE survivor fan also, but that being said I don't really like him he is to weak and I am not sure his intelligence will make up for it.

Whitney- Country Singer. I think I'll like Whitney in this game, she seems like she'll play a good game and she attractive.

Ozzy- I don't like that they brought Ozzy back. He is one of the best in challenges survivor has ever had but I think he is kind of boring in the personality region.

Dawn- I wanted to like Dawn, and if she makes it farther I probably will but she seems a bit weak emotionally.

Jim- Weed Grower. I like Jim he seems like a laid back funny guy but I think people may catch on to what he does and vote him off.

Keith- I think Keith could play a good game, he's young and fit and he could probably get an alliance and vote Ozzy off which I think would be a smart move (in a few weeks). Ozzy doesn't need to make it to merge because he will gun for Keith I bet.

Elyse- She may have become my favorite in the first episode just with that native American comment she made. I don't know what she's going to bring to the game but she will be fun to have around.

Upolu Tribe:

Sophie- Shes a smart, strong, feminist and I think she needs to hold all that back. She doesn't need to show that shes all 'Girl Power' because guys will hate that. I think if she doesn't ruin her chances people will keep her around because shes a strong girl.

Albert- He is probably a meat head. I think he will be good physically but he will need to pair up with someone like Sophie, someone who's smart to get him farther.

Brandon- Russel Hantz nephew. First of all I am sure he basically got put on the show because hes a Hantz and I don't like when people just get handed things especially on a show like this. (kind of like how I hate that former contestants are back). I want to like him though he seems like a good guy but I also want him gone because hes a Hantz...maybe he shouldn't have gotten those tattoos.

Edna- I love Edna. She had a friend on this show and she originally wanted to go on Shark Tank but ended up here. I think shes smart and will probably end up like Brenda did. She needs to step cautiously in this game

Rick- I like him, and he will be nice to have around for a while but I bet he starts to push peoples buttons.

Stacey- She is one of my favorites. She is like a honey badger, she just doesn't give a shit. She is going to do what she wants when she wants.

Christine- Shes like a classy girl from the Shore. I think she won't make it to merge because like Rick I think she will get on peoples nerves.

Coach- I don't like that coach is back either. He really isn't that good but he is a interesting play to watch. I don't think he'll be a threat

Mikayla- Lingerie football player...enough said.

I think that Andrea and Matt should have got to come back because they were the two contestants who made it out of Redemption Island last season, but clearly the producers didn't agree.

Okay so when the episode started they were already split up into tribes and Ozzy and Coach showed up and picked eggs filled with paint and smashed them on themselves to figure out which tribe they were on. I like the fact that they got the tribes I was hoping they'd get.

Then Ozzy and Coach had to do a challenge to see who would win rewards and of coarse Ozzy one. He did have a lot of help from his tribe thought, both of them did. I think that really showed how this show will go compared to last year. Russel and Rob didn't ever really need help in challenges.

So Coaches tribe started working and Ozzys tribe decided to relax on the beach for the day. Yeah I think that was a bad idea. Ozzy could probably do it with ease and be up the next day but the other people could be exhausted, I think they should have gone ahead and built the camp.

During the immunity challenge Upolu won. Savaii could have easily won if Semhar wasn't shooting the coconuts. Everyone seemed a bit pissed.

So then it was all who to vote for. Semhar and John both did bad and it seemed like some people were actually going to vote for John to go home. Really?! Sure he screwed up but Semhar lost it. At least John is smart. Unless there is a poem challenge, which I highly doubt will happen, they don't need Smehar. I thought Ozzy was going to try to keep her because he clearly wanted to bang her but luckily he didn't. Everyone voted her out. She got really annoying at the tribal council so I am glad. I will be shocked if she wins her duel.

What's The X-Factor?

I would write more on this, but I wrote an article for the school paper about this subject and frankly don't want to write to much more but the X-Factor is coming this fall and it WILL be amazing. So really quickly I am going to show you some video clips of some of the best performances from the last season of The X-Factor UK.

You Don't just get audition's like that on American Idol.

By they way, this lady didn't even make it to the finale.



And there you are! Now this is in England but I am sure we will get more talent. Totally kidding, but seriously.

Fall TV Line Up

I am going to tell you what is on, and what to watch (reality and not reality). And fill you in on new shows.


MONDAY

Monday is really a toss up for me on what to watch. I am not really a fan of many of the shows. I use to love House but I started missing some episodes and never caught up...not I am a few seasons behind.

8:00- We have two new shows in the 8 o'clock hour. At 8:30 (Following How I Met Your Mother) is 2 Broke Girls (Sept. 15th) looks really funny. But I don't know how dedicated I can be to a comedy. I like all the NBC comedy shows that will be playing but am not a dedicated watcher.
Then there is Terra Nova. I think it looks good but they may have been better off making this a movie. I may end up watching it to see if it is good not sure.
Also Dancing with the Stars, Gossip Girl and the Sing Off (running two hours) returning to Monday nights at 8.

9:00- Hart of Dixie is the only new show coming on at 9 on the CW. It actually looks like a pretty good show. I love Rachel Bilson. I probably won't it but don't quote me. Other shows Two and a Half Men and Mike and Molly.

10:00- Castle and Hawaii Five-0 are both returning (Hawaii Five-0 I have heard great things from) and The Playboy Club comes on which is new. I don't usually watch anything at this time. I may check out The Playboy Club.

So I'd say at this point if I had to watch something at every hour I'd choose Terra Nova, Hart of Dixie then The Playboy Club (unless I could catch up on Hawaii Five-0). All of these shows are new so if they aren't good I won't watch. Usually on Monday I just flip through what ever seems interesting.


TUESDAY

8:00- New shows include Man Up and Last Man Standing. Not sure what either is about but I know that I won't be watching either. Two favorites of mine Glee and The Biggest Loser are both back and starting in this time slot. Also NCIS and 90210 are back. Glee is my show of choice.

9:00- Dancing with the Stars Results and NCIS:LA are both back along with Raising Hope at 9:30. and new TV shows Ringer and New Girl. New Girl looks really funny.

10:00- Returning shows are Body of Proof and Parenthood what I have seen of Parenthood I would rather watch that. There is also a new show Unforgettable but frankly I haven't seen much of it and it may be unforgettable.

I will be watching Glee then New Girl then Raising Hope then probably nothing.


WEDNESDAY

8:00- The Middle and Survivor are the only returning shows coming on at 8. The new shows coming are Suburgatory and Free Agents (At 8:30) and H8R, X-Factor and Up All Night. I am very interested in Up All Night, it looks hilarious but I am going to have to stick to the X-Factor, abandoning Survivor's fall season for the first time in years. Now don't worry I will catch Survivor online.

9:00- Modern Family, Happy Endings (9:30), Criminal Minds, America's Next Top Model, and Harry's Law are all returning. I Hate My Teenage Daughter will be premiering at 9:30 after X-Factor. I Hate My Teenage daughter looks really funny and it comes on After X-Factor so I will probably watch that.

10:00- CSI and Law and Order: SVU are both back at 10 and that new show you've probably seen enough previews to make you sick, Revenge comes on at 10.

I will watch X-Factor then probably I Hate My Teenage Daughter because it comes on right after X-Factor and I tend to watch what comes on after my favorites (AKA Raising Hope.)

THURSDAY

8:00- Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries, Community and Parks and Recreation are all back at 8:00 and 8:30. The new shows are Charlie's Angels, How to be a Gentleman and X-Factor Results. Charlie's Angel's looks really good but I don't think I will tune in at this time.

9:00- Grey's Anatomy, Bones and The Office are all back. New shows coming to Thursday are Person of Interest, Secret Circle and Whitney. I think Whitney looks funny and Secret Circle looks like it would be a good movie, I am sure people will tune in for the latter. I think even thought Whitney looks funny its unclear whether people will tune in or not. There are a bunch of comedies with female leads coming this fall so we will see how they all stack up.

10:00-Private Practice and The Mentalist are back at 10. Prime Suspect is the only new show coming on at 10 and it looks pretty interesting but I think it would mostly be competing with The Mentalist viewers so we will see how that goes.

On Thursday I will tune into X-Factor Results then Grey's Anatomy.

FRIDAY

It's Friday Friday gotta get down on Friday.

8:00- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Nikita, Kitchen Nightmares, and Chuck are all back and A Gifted Man will be joining them.

9:00- Shark Tank, CSI: NY, Supernatural, Fringe and Grimm are you 9 o'clock shows, Grimm being new.

Now I don't usually watch Friday TV I much prefer going to the movies or something, or just watching a movie on tv but if I had to choose I would watch Chuck then CSI.

Let's skip Saturday we will all be watching Football.

SUNDAY

8:00- New shows Once Upon a Time and Allen Gregory will be joining The Amazing Race and The Simpsons. Amazing Race and The Simpsons are two of my favorite shows and I hate that they are on at the same time.

9:00- Depserate Housewives, The Goodwife, Family Guy and American Dad are all back with no new shows to compete with.

10:00- Pan Am is a new show coming to Sunday and will compete against CSI: Miami.

On Sunday I will watch Amazing Race, Family Guy, American Dad then probably try to see if Pan Am is good. I will also watch the Simpson's on Hulu. I am pretty bummed Bob's Burgers are over.


Well thats my list! What will you guys be tuning in for? Hope the same!
