OK, I'll admit it: with Friends being re-runs the last couple of weeks and Scrubs having been moved to 9:30, I've been forced to watch the last two episodes of Survivor in their entirety. (Because turning off the TV for an hour and reading a book just isn't an option, apparently. Ye Gods....) Anyway, aside from this Jon guy's faking of his grandmother's death (isn't there some rule about planning things in advance, or something like that?), the show is dull as hell, and I can't imagine why so many people still find it compelling. I mean, aside from the goofy games they play for the "Challenges", the entire show revolves around one person going to talk to another person about who's getting voted off and whatnot.
Jon talks to Lil about voting of Christie. (Some of these names aren't accurate.) Lil talks to Sandra about voting off Darlene. Burton talks to Christie about voting off Darlene, and then Burton talks to Jon about voting off Christie. But wait, we're just getting started! Sandy and Darlene together talk to Christie about voting off Lil! And then, Sandy does a one-on-one interview in which she insists that the women need to get together and vote off one of the guys! And then, Burton catches some fish and then talks about voting off Jeff, except they can't because Jeff's the host of the show. Blah blah blah blah....I just want to scream, "Yeah, we get it already! None of you is voting for who you're promising the person next to you that you're voting for! You're all a bunch of Machievellian geniuses!"
Best moment: a throwaway shot of Rupert, by far the only interesting contestant, rolling his eyes at the stupidity of the whole thing during the "Tribal Council".
