laissez le bon temps rouler
Sep. 16th, 2005 03:58 pmAnd let the couch-potato-ing commence!
Fall season is officially here! For me, and the shows I give a fuck about, it started on Tuesday with House, which I still haven't had a chance to see (but soon).
Last night, Sarah and I watched the premiere of Survivor Guatemala! Sarah chirped, as the credits rolled, "Oh look. So many new people to hate!" Bwahahaha!
There are always so damn many people who look bizarrely alike at first that it takes me a bit to get my bearings. So I really don't know what side the people I like so far are on. And so far, it's really only the Nurse Practitioner. She seems to be cool. Also, immediately, I know I will hate cowboy-hatted Brandon. What a tool. Even Miss Alli says: Farmer Brandon, however, is dead to me immediately, as a result of his very early use of the non-word "supposably."
They start with a genuinely grueling 11-mile hike. Man. That looked fucking painful. They had to lug provisions, too. In the dark, unfamiliar jungle. It looked painful. This is no resort trip. And hopefully will be more interesting than seeing lazy 20-somethings lounge around by the beach, insisting they're entitled to do nothing and also not be voted off.
Another highlight is the return of the strangely compelling Bobby Jon. Who I didn't care for at the beginning of the last season, but who grew on me with his enormous doe-like eyes and sincere humility. He tries so hard, so so hard, in the face of continuous failure, and wants so much for his hard work to pay off, that I just have to gape at him in sympathy. But, JesusMaryandtheCamel, he needs to have the words "PACE YOURFUCKINGSELF" tattoo'd on his whipcord-lean body. Because he's not going to be any use to anyone by dying.
Steph is back, too. And I'm sort of reserving judgment on her. She's tough, but she also consistently sucked last time around. Not to be overly critical, but when people say things like, "Oh, I'm just so glad that I'm finally with a team that has as much heart and devotion as I do!!*" with tear-glinty-eyes, it makes me retch a bit.
I turned to Sarah and misted, "Oh, Sarah! I'm so glad I have you as a friend so that I can have a friend as wonderful as I am!" She allowed that she was mighty happy for me.
Anyhow. Maybe I'm being overly harsh. But we'll see.

Stef ROOOOLZ!
Date: 2005-09-16 11:56 pm (UTC)However, I loves me some Stef. Bathe her and bring her to my tent :clap, clap:
(although, her comment about heart was rather lame).
Btw, I reserve a special place of hatred in my cold, black little heart for any contestant who's descriptor/job title is "Ivy League Student." "College Student" should suffice, no?
Re: Stef ROOOOLZ!
Date: 2005-09-17 01:09 am (UTC)Yeah, with you on the Ivy League thing. But I'm loving the Zookeeper and the Magician's Assistant!
