15 ideas for themes of future Survivor seasons

Some seasons of survivor (aka season 27) have a theme (aka "Blood vs. Water" where every player is related to, by blood or marriage, to another player). Here are 15 themes I think could be pretty great to watch (side note, I could not find a compilation of logos that included season 51...sigh): Arctic: Season that leaves Fiji for a frigid environment (obviously, players would be given more supplies and/or shelter for this season) Break the Record: Season where anyone who breaks a previous challenge record immunity even if someone else is the last standing (e.g. two players could beat a previous record with one still doing better than the other--in that case, both would win immunity) From Beyond: Season where eliminated players (before jury begins) are able to bestow a certain number of advantages to remaining players where there is a reward system for if the eliminated players gives an advantage to the ultimate sole survivor. I would imagine it would be a sliding scale (meani...

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé season 12, episode 21

Time for part 3 of the tell all!  So, surrogates ARE expensive--that said, it's been implied that Marissa has a ton of money... Wait, did I just see a brief clock in the upper right screen? Wait, has Paula's dress been inside out? Okay, I agree that Thomas was kinda wild for gluing Paula's perfume shut, but it seems he does have an allergy Catie, I don't think you get to call folks "man-children" or immature... Thomas, you gotta let Paula get a TV Wait, Thomas, you claimed 49% of Paula's company WITHOUT TALKING TO HER? Ah and now Paula is announcing she's opening a second store in Brazil I get how Paula was embarrassed, but I also don't think everyone could've fit comfortably in that apartment--I think a better plan was an Airbnb I'm think Thomas needs some therapy before becoming a father Wait, Paula is revealing that she may just go to Brazil if she gets pregnant? Thomas, do you know that kids are smelly? Thomas, no kid listens 100% of th...

Snippets, forty-five

Here are some short pieces based on things that have happened in my life recently.  Find Me a Find? My first month of having an active matchmaker has been brilliantly uneventful. At this point, I am fairly disappointed in her communication (which has been supremely minimal). At first, I wrote to her just to confirm we were all good to go. She responded a few days later sharing that she had been out of office, but would start my weekly Friday updates on the 11th. Well, the 11th came and went. So, the following Tuesday, I wrote to her to check in, apologizing if I was pestering. She reassured me that I wasn't pestering and that she "normally" sent weekly updates anyways. She let me know that she had four interviews lined up with potential matches. I thanked her and waited for an update on the 18th. Well, the 18th came and went. So, again, on the following Tuesday, I wrote to ask for an update and acknowledged that perhaps we were still finding our rhythm (but this time I di...

15 thoughts after watching Survivor season 51, episode 1

So, my friends and I watched the season premiere on Thursday. Here are a random collection of questions, hopes, and other thoughts on this season premiere I had after watching. Yes, jump off the boat! When Jeff said that the two themes (if you will) of the season are "permanent uncertainty" and "open era," I at first thought that meant that the show would have brand new twists and there would be no returning players (and none had been announced, so this made sense to me), but then Jeff explained later that it meant that any twist or element from any season could come back (which...isn't that always true?) and that there would be some elements in the hands of the players (he made a long speech about how at the start of the game the power transfers to the players, and I wanted them to be like "Well, we're the hosts now"--c'est la vie) I ended up feeling so bad for Lewis who ended up on exile island, had a chance to chop down a tree for an idol, b...

"S&M" by Rihanna rewritten to be about hot nerds

Long ago, I thought of one parody lyric for this song, so now I'm challenging myself to do the full parody. I call it "SCL" (summa cum laude). Na-na-na, read on Na-na-na, read on Na-na-na-na-na, read on Na-na-na, read on, read on, read on Na-na-na-na-na, read on Na-na-na, read on Na-na-na-na-na, read on Na-na-na, read on, read on, read on Na-na-na-na, read on Feels so good being smart (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) There's no way I'm ceasing books (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Now the cram is for pleasure 'Cause nothing can measure (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Love is great, love is fine (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Only genius is my shrine (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) The researching of a scholar leaves me wanting more (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 'Cause I may be sharp, and I'm perfectly apt at it Facts in a book, I don't care, I love the smell of it Sophistry may anger me But brains and wits excite me 'Cause I may be sharp, and I'm perfectly apt at it Facts in a book, I don...

15 thoughts before watching Survivor season 51, episode 1

Yes, I know that Survivor 's 51st season premiered Wednesday night, but my friends and I watch on streaming on Thursdays (or that's the plan!). So here are a random collection of questions, hopes, and other thoughts on this season premiere I had before watching. Why are there 21 players but two announced tribes (and it's been a while since there have just been two tribes I believe)? What's that odd person out going to do? Also, I thought tribes were usually announced prior to the premiere, but they didn't this time...I wonder why? My fantasy team is Angelica “Jelly” Loblack (a sociology professor), Brady Booker (a professional wrestler), Danny “Kilby” Kilby (a game designer), and Ori Jean-Charles (a physical trainer and former pro-athlete)--I am eager to know if they're on the same tribe or different tribes as I think two are going to be better at puzzles and two are going to be better at physical challenges (although I think Ori could be good at both, but folks...
