This week on Survivor… Ladies and gentlemen, Melissa has some personal issues that she’s dealing with in addition to all coping with all of the drama in the reality show of life so… I am going to do my best to keep calm and recap as usual, but I should say that it is so very funny how reflective Survivor is of actual reality. I would have to go on further to explain how everything is connected, but for now let’s just talk about what’s happening on that island, shall we? 😉 So the next day after Tribal, at camp…

This week on Survivor… My moral fiber has been plucked again this season! First things first: I absolutely respect the game of Survivor and I think that I do a good job of not making personal attacks in my blog because – it is JUST a game. It is the social experiment aspect of this game that keeps me watching because ultimately, for me, Survivor is not just a game that people play on TV to win money. And my blogs are meant to be comedic in nature; however, it’s time for another Life Lesson with Melissa but we’ll jump…

This week on Survivor… Shirin is pretty upset after getting home from Tribal; Mike is on damage control and Dan is creating more of a rift between himself and Super Fan. He STILL doesn’t understand how she cannot know the difference between a flip and blindside; Shirin concedes that he is so smart. The Shii-Ann/Christine of this season isn’t stupid; Shirin knows that eventually the blues are going to split so she plants the seeds to help this along and waters them. “Well, Mike, when you go to the very end, I’m voting for you to win so…” She is reminded…

This week on Survivor… It is props where they are due for Jenn on her well-played Idol when the tribe returns to camp. Rodney is heartbroken that Kelly is gone and blames it on Mike for switching the vote to Jenn to test Will’s loyalty. In the moonlight and alone, Rodney woos for Will’s continued affection. And… UGH! Rodney IS smart… His plan is NOT stupid; it is brilliant. If he really does have Will, Tyler and Carolyn on board to sail to the Final Four that is totally what will happen and Rodney will probably win Survivor because he’s…

This week on Survivor… Tyler is really impressed with the true blue spirit of the blue collars, but he’s not incredibly happy about; he’s on the bottom rung of the ladder, but at the top of the hit list. Rodney isn’t nearly as upset as I thought he would be about Joaquin’s blindside; I have to give the guy some credit for being able to stay calm and collected. When he got back to camp he didn’t get angry and waited for someone to make a move to talk to him. Smart! Mike makes that damage control move and they…

This week on Survivor… We have so much to talk about! Did anyone really notice Shirin’s brilliant game move this week and get the message? If you are still in the game and feeling shocked, blindsided and heartbroken, you best be talking to people to figure out why. This is exactly what Shirin did to correct her position on the game board. First she talked to Carolyn and figured out that no one trusted her and thought of her as Max’s puppet. Hali told her that people thought she was annoying. If you feel like you’re not winning the game,…

Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner! Episode 4: This week on Survivor… It’s a two hour episode, which is really two episodes back to back, but since that is how they were presented to us… I’m condensing them into one blog recap. You ready? Let’s go! Allons-y! With Nina gone, Will & Hali feel like the tribe will be much better now, more solid, the way they wanted to be from the beginning, but he knows he’s the next to go if they schedule a date with Jeff. Unless he can convince Joe to vote out one of the girls; right, like…

This week in Nerdvana… Things are going to be a little different this week because I am writing my blogs differently now, more nicely, not so WTF. Dark days are over in the land of Kansas and I am definitely somewhere over the rainbow now. lol I’ve been traveling through space and time in a blue box with a Doctor Who and I’ve learned some things about myself and my purpose in life. I started writing these blogs for a reason and IT IS the season of reason, NOW; let’s talk about the reality show. I really hope that guy, Ohboy, kept…

This week on Survivor… People are definitely surprised that Vince is gone, but Joe is more shocked that Will didn’t stick with the split vote and he’s not happy about it. Will just doesn’t know who to trust in his tribe; he’s playing chess, not checkers and he has to think about future moves too, but not too far ahead. He didn’t trust Vince so Vince had to go. Nina just knows she’s next and she asks the tribe if they could just make her feel like part of the tribe until they get rid of her… … … Okay,…

This week in Nerdvana… Amanda is super stoked that she won the Nerd Off; she feels bad for Colby, but she’s really happy that she won. Colby’s horcrux is his cricket bat and they place it with the others and Kaitlin welcomes Amanda into the Nerd Off Winners Club… UGH! I should have made that Nerd Off Winners Club joke I wanted to make two weeks ago in my blog because I was GOING TO! LOL … In addition to winning herself more time in Nerdvana, Amanda has also won some self-confidence. She defeated a worthy opponent; no one is…
