A Couple of the Things I Dislike About Survivor....

Sunday  •  09:13 PM  •  One comment

(1) During the tribal council I hate when they show the current jury members rolling their eyes. We know they hate the people who are still in the game.

(2) At tribal council when Jeff attempts to draws out the players dirty little secrets and when they bare all when asked. I mean don't people understand that they need to keep their strategies secret? Idiots!

(3) When people are "plotting" with other players but they are doing it two meters away from where everyone else is. If you want to plot go for a walk and make sure you are five or ten minutes away from the camp before plotting. This may be something that occurs based on the restrictions put on the players by the producers.

(4) How every little change to the formate of the show is considered "ground-breaking" and/or "earth-shattering". I don't care if you merge the groups at 10 people or 6 people or even 2 people. It isn't "ground-breaking" or "earth-shattering". It isn't either "feces-sampling"!!!

I do understand that a lot of these elements make for "good television".

Mother's Day and the Weekend of the Pool

Another lovely weekend. The weather was amazing, with the sun shining all weekend and the temperature being comfortable (though maybe a little on the chilly side).

Saturday was spent working outside with my father fixing the pool. At the end of summer last year the pool my parents had broke (the side split open). They were thinking about taking the pool down but we talking him into fixing it up (since we love the pool). So we took the pool that broke and fixed it with components of the another pool we had then came up with a crazy pool hybrid. They just need to fill it up with water and then it should be swimworthy.

Firda and I spent Saturday night at my parents place. We stated watching Shopgirl, but we only watched half an hour before getting tired and headed to bed. An exciting Saturday night :)

Sunday was a relatively busy day. Firda and I took my mom out for Mother's Day lunch. Following lunch we went for a Sunday drive down to Port Dover and had ice cream. We then packed up and headed back to Waterloo. It was a good weekend, though once again I got a lot of sun.

Now I'm just waiting for the Survivor finale. Can't wait.
