Survivor is Back!
Survivor started last night and I am loving the new cast. There’s a lunch lady with a mullet! In her underwear! However, that was not the biggest shocker. This lady is not from the south! She is from (let me take a breath first, it’s just so hard to believe) . . . MASSACHUSETTS! She didn’t say much, but she’s here to show us that lunch ladies can survive outside the cafeteria. I was disappointed to read her bio and learn that her husband is named Robert, and not Sloppy Joe, Slop Sloppy Joe!
Here’s my complaint about some of these cast members. Hello, have you never watched an episode? Did CBS not send you some DVDs to watch once you were cast on the show? After how many seasons this show has been on the air? People are still showing up all dressed up in their dresses, impractical shoes, ready to survive and kick nature’s butt. However, if you are too dumb to dress appropriately when Jeff Probst (predictably, I might add) takes all your belongings away, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE do not think that your bra doubles as attire fit for an immunity challenge. The girl isn’t even wearing a sports bra. I was so embarrassed I had to turn away from the television. I have to ask the age old question: What the hell were you thinking? Do you not realize you’re on television?
Now, onward to the next trainwreck. I thought it was extremely rude of Leslie to walk out of the Buddhist temple during the welcoming ceremony. She could have gotten away with it if she would have given a valid, believable reason, but she had to say, “Oh I don’t consider myself a Christian, but I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and that was worship to me.” WTF, Leslie? Also, as a side note, those skirts made out of blue jeans are no longer even being sold at the local crap craft shows. But thank you for not running around in your Wal-mart bra and 4 for $5 panties.
Leslie did make herself useful, however, by giving James a/k/a “The Grave Digger” a few pointers about making friends.
“I no talk. I dig graves,” he told her.
“Well, just ask a question and let people talk about themselves,” were her golden words of wisdom. “And by the way, did I tell you that I’m not a Christian but I’m a Christian talk show host and I was appalled at the Buddhist ceremony and I wear an ugly half blue jean half bargain table material skirt I bought at a craft show in 1987?”
“I’s a farmer and I’m the token hick talkin’ bumpkin cast by CBS to see if I can last past this here first episode.” Sadly, he did not. Buh bye Chicken. His bio says he has four dogs, Zek, Cluck, Poke and Eli. Sadly, we will not get to learn more about chicken farming or Chicken’s dogs. Guess we’ll have to wait to see you at the finale, Chicken.
There’s really not that much to say about the first episode, because it takes a few episodes to get to know the cast, for personalities to show and bonds to form, and the characters to actually stay in my memory long enough to remember them. However, it’s looking like a great season so far. One more thing: Even though they were given their running shoes at the immunity challenge, can’t they also get some shirts? Please? Do it for the children.

In regards to James: he doesn’t need to say anything. The visual is plenty for me!
