Long Live Yau-Man

Written by:

I’m sad to say that Yau-Man has been voted off Survivor. Yau-Man will forever be my favorite character on Survivor. When he found the immunity idol the first time he was on Survivor I couldn’t stop smiling. It was by far the best moment of Survivor history.

Well, I can see why people would vote off Yau-Man, but I hoped that he would stick around a little longer. Oh well, it’s still pretty entertaining having some of the favorites on the show.

Now on to Celebrity Apprentice. I really hope that Amorosa gets kicked off the show tonight.

Survivor and Celebrity Apprentice for Valentine’s Day

Written by:

Tonight we have a good line up of shows which should be a pretty entertaining evening for my wife and I. I think we’re going to go and get an order of this really authentic Napoli style pizza at a restaurant called Settebello and then watch some shows. Some people might think that’s kind of lame, but we’re excited. Plus, tomorrow we’re going to the temple.

Check out what I gave my wife for Valentine’s day.

Survivor Fans vs. Favorites

Written by:

On Thursday I decided to watch Survivor Fans vs. Favorites. I found it very intriguing to see the previous contestants against the fans. I knew I’d like to watch it since I think Johnny Fairplay is crazy and would be entertaining. Plus, Yau-man is by far my favorite contestant of all time. When he found the idol, that was probably my favorite survivor moment. It was hilarious seeing how excited he was. By the way, he should have won that time also if it weren’t for that lieing, cheating, disloyal, nevermind…. Ok, so I’m also partial to Yao-man since he’s a nerd like me.

Either way, it’s going to be a really interesting season to watch. Playing the same night as Celebrity Apprentice makes for a nice of TV watching for me.

For those that miss any of the Survivor Fans vs. Favorites otherwise known as Survivor Micronesia, you can download it on Amazon Unbox:
