What happened last week on Survivor?

What happened on this week Survivor?

I really have no idea. That is why I am asking. Apparently John Rock was blindsided and voted off! I know that because CBS released the “Seven things that will surprise you about John Rock”.

I’m kind of sad that he is gone though. Was he a total jerk? Sure. But, it seemed like he tried hard to undo the stereotype of his old bigoted days. And it seems to show in in these 7 comments:

1.       John would have given Val his idol is she hadn’t lied about having one

a.       Val was going home. She knew the votes were going to be split! At that point, it would have been beneficial for her to tell the truth. I don’t blame Rocker at all.

2.       He felt Coyopa was outmatched athletically by Hunaphu

a.       Look at the tribes. Not only was Coyopa down two players going into Rocker being voted off, there tribe DOES look weeker. That being said, I like Hunaphu much more than I like Coyopa, so I’m too sad to agree.

3.       John considered Josh his closest ally and the strongest member of his tribe

a.       Poor John! Josh was just using him to get further along in the game, and it worked! I’m betting that Josh will be in the top three, and I would be very surprised if we don’t see him on a future season of Survivor.

4.       He thinks he would have been in trouble regardless of what happened during or after the immunity challenge

a.       It’s always a dangerous game being an old time celebrity on Survivor; ESPECIALLY if you try and hide it. If he would have been more open about who he was at the beginning, it might have been good for him! My advice to any celeb on Survivor: just reveal who you really are!!

5.       When he saw the first vote was for him, he knew he was probably going home

a.       Where on earth was his immunity idol?! I mean I know it was a blindside, but he now gets to go down in history as one of the few survivors who got voted off with an idol in his pocket. Rookie mistake.

6.       He’s friends with Jeremy, Val, Natalie and Nadiya and says the “twinnies” are a piece of work and little instigators but they’re fun to hang out with

a.       Rocker definitely reversed his own stereotype coming onto Survivor. I can see them all being friends because they are all similar in their personalities. But I would love to be a fly on the wall if they ever got in a fight. That would be a sight to see!

7.       The hardest Survival aspect of the game was being constantly hungry and not knowing when he would eat again. He lost 19 pounds in 10 days.

a.       If that’s the hardest past, SIGN ME UP. I don’t think there is a girl out there who would mind that type of weight loss.. But really, all joking aside, he was a BIG man! I could see that being a rough part for him. Me, I’m a college student! I’m used to wondering where my next meal is coming from and if I can get it for free!

Now that I sound like every college student EVER.. Thanks for reading my thoughts on John Rocker’s thoughts. I wish he could have stuck around, I don’t mind watching drama unfold. Until next time,

Why I SHOULD be on Survivor

In my first post I talked about why I should NOT be on Survivor. Bold move? I don't think so. I know my weaknesses, and small boobs just happens to be one of them! But now, here are a few reasons why I SHOULD be on Survivor:

1.     I’m athletic. I was an athlete in high school. I was the captain (and goalie) of my varsity soccer team. I also played basketball and made the team from pure brute force. My coach would call me the “enforcer”. When he wanted to shut a girl down, he’d put me in. They might have had 50 pounds on me, but girls get annoyed and start playing a little worse when you keep throwing elbows and hold onto their jerseys. I am not proud of how I played, but I am proud of the time of played. I continue to stay athletic in college by rock climbing, hiking, running, swimming, the works.

2.     I’m smart. I'll be graduating with honors AND a semester early with my Bachelors of Science in Communication. I could keep going on and say I’m the president of the communication honor society (Lambda Pi Eta), and that I won the outstanding student athlete award presented to me by the army national guard, but, that’s just bragging!

Jeff Probst, Charlie Parsons and Mark Burnett, currently we are dating, but you don’t know it yet. I’m like that girl on campus you never used to see, but she kept coming around and you weren't sure if it was creepy or endearing…. So for now, just sit back and enjoy the ride! And cast me. Because I’d be a perfect fit for YOU.

Why I Shouldn't Be on Survivor

My life goal is to be on Survivor.

Some people think I have low aspirations, others think I’m crazy, and a few support me.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I’m not crazy. You have to have a little bit of crazy if you to want to be on Survivor!

For the past 10 years I’ve been trying to think of ways to Outwit, Outlast and Outplay the thousands of other of people who want to be on Survivor. And now, here I am. I am officially starting my campaign to be on Survivor! So Jeff Probst, Charlie Parsons and Mark Burnett, listen up! I’m talking to you and your gang of hooligans who cast us Survivors.

But I’ll help you out, I’ll give you reasons why you wouldn’t cast me. Because we can get those out of the way pretty quickly considering the list is small and not of great consequence.

1.       I don’t look like your average “Survivor Girl’ with the perfect body, white teeth and boobs that stay the same size after 25 days of eating rice and beans and living in the middle of nowhere.. (seems fishy to me;)). My mom always makes fun of me and says she’ll get me a boob job to get me on the show! My boobs are pretty small though. In fact, when I go to face-to-face with a wall, my nose touches first! That’s right. My nose is bigger than my boobs. BUT that’s nothing a great push up bra can’t fix. So I’ve actually solved that problem for you right off the bat! You’re welcome!

2.       I'm mentally stable. So if you’re looking for another “Coach”, “Russel”, or “J’tia” keep moving along.  Chances are I won’t be making up stories about meeting Aborigines or steeling people’s shoes and hiding them in the water, or dumping out my tribe’s entire stock of food. I mean, I’m not THAT crazy.

Now that we’ve got all THAT out of way, we can get to why I may be the best casting decision you've ever made.

1.       I’m athletic. I was an athlete in high school. I was the captain (and goalie) of my varsity soccer team. I also played basketball and made the team from pure brute force. My coach would call me the “enforcer”. When he wanted to shut a girl down, he’d put me in. They might have had 50 pounds on me, but people get really annoyed and start playing a little worse when you keep throwing elbows and holding onto their jerseys. I continue to stay athletic in college by rock climbing every day, hiking, running, swimming, the works.

2.       I’m smart. I'll be graduating with honors AND a semester early with my Bachelors of Science in Communication. I could keep going on and say I’m the president of the communication honor society (Lambda Pi Eta), and that I won the outstanding student athlete award presented to me by the army national guard, but, that’s just bragging!
