Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Time for part 2 of  the tell all!  Russ, I feel bad for you But, I do appreciate that Rebecca accurately points out that Russ DOES have to keep speaking with Pao as SHE'S HIS SON'S MOTHER Russ, I want you to get therapy I do wonder if Sarper is telling the truth about giving Shekinah $15k I thought that, at some point, we had a statement from Shekinah? Wild that Sarper said the reason Shekinah and Darcey are friends is because they both love surgery LOL Darcey agrees with Sarper about the surgery bond! Sarper, I would argue that you also are known for being in a relationship with Shekinah, so of course you talk about it on stage I do think Sarper was workshopping some material during his "recommitment" Lol Sarper asks for Ross to affirm Sarper is attractive So, yes, Thais was reacting BIG to Shekinah, but that DOES NOT EXCUSE SHEKINAH SAYING SOMETHING XENOPHOBIC SHEKINAH! THAT DIDN'T HELP! Shekinah is selling merch that says "Go back to your country"?!?...

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...

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...

Shhhh! I'm working on something for my Halloween party and I want credit for it! If you're not coming to my party, but want to know what I'm working on--shoot me a note! If you are coming, you'll just have to wait! (Prompt by me) Photo by Eleanor Brooke on Unsplash

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...

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...
