"Check out what I do to them this week"

So we open with Deena running the roost, Jeanne is pissed and Shawna is trapped. As we all know it doesn't matter because it all goes buckwild on the Amazonian front. Before delving into the show I have two commercials to comment on. The first being the Coors commercial saying that everything manly is great as are twins. Ok can I just try to apply logic to this - so guys think twins are great - especially if they are racked and good looking or whatever - I supposed the term "hot" applies. Why I ask? So a guy in theory can hook up with twins at the same time. May I point out that its incest?? Hello - I dont figure out difference between cousins getting married and going on jerry springer but twin sisters can get it on with a guy - not that I am justifying cousins getting married - but people are freaked out because its the same family - yet the twins that shared the same womb for 9 months and the same placenta (assuming it is a monozygotic embryo) so thats gross. Tangent two: Mafia Doctor?? What is this tv movie - I am appalled - but I think I might watch it since it looks hysterical (not in the way its supposed to I'm sure).

Back to survivor:

So in my survivor weekly newsletter I was informed that Alex would get injured - dont tell me that's it - a little cut - pshaw - I thought it was going to be a Michael fire incident. Oh well - damn cbs leading me down a trail. But as mentioned last week Jeff hinted that the game could change - that always mean tribe shift and it did! I cant deal with all the follow up to the meeting - lets get down to the Dave/Jenna meet up.

When Jenna was first shown and noted within my Survivor Pregame commentary I thought she was going to be smart around the guys - lead them on and confuse them. Nope she melted - granted it was rocket scientist Dave but still - she was telling alliances from jump start. "Oh yeah Shawna is really sick and we are going to vote out Jeanne and we were able to get Deena on the alliance and I am a moron" Daves reply, "Alex is 33 and a scorpio - he likes long walks on the beach" The point is according to the footage showed (editing is always a factor) he said nothing substantial.

So its shower time and its share a bed time - I thought it was very ridiculous that they only had one bed to share - that was too set up - I think probst/burnette watched too much mtv when they planned that outing. Frankly I was disappointed - maybe because it was Dave and I didnt want to see him with skank Jenna.

So they pick the tribes - Jenna is so clueless - has she ever seen survivor before?? duh- you dont get to stay in a bed and shower and eat food just because - you have to do something detrimental for it - moron.

So the new tribes are formed:

1) Dave, Butch, Roger, Jeanne, DG and EVILELF

2) Jenna, Shawna, Deena, Alex, Rob, Matthew Von Ekjhfkdjhfd (aka Team Hormone)

So I am relieved because my-pick-Jeanne was getting in a great position again - she was out of the nasty tribe - she had a chance to work it. And Deena is at the bottom of the barrel - she was up - now she is down. Deena isnt going to last long on team hormone - Deena and Von Eflerkjeh don't have a chance. But we flash back to the other tribe Tambaqui - the cat is out of the bag - DG is D - now everyone knows - and frankly I am shocked that they didn't know - I really thought that it was well known. So I was impressed that it lasted that long - and kudos to the crew being nice to DG.

So Deena called the Shawna recovery. I guess mostly everyone is pleased with the tribe change - except Deena. I am just glad that the evil girl alliance is over - or at least delayed - what a ton of jerks.

Immunity Challenge:

Ok I have to admit that during most of the immunity challenge I had switched to another channel because the stress was almost over-whelming. I couldn't even watch - and just as well because Team Hormone won - I can't believe it.

So now we break down to see who they are going to vote off - I hope its not one of the women but I dont see the guys going off a tangent and as Heidi put it so eloquently that she is "between a rock and a hard stone" yep. I hate EVILELF.

Tribal Council:

DG feels better and people are voting on alliance - ok

So we are left with everyone's vote showing except EE's - not a surprise - strategically she had to vote Jeanne off (or Gene) - she didn't have a choice. The issue is that Jeanne should have been smart enough to try to team up with the guys or have one of them team up with her - so that was poor - I can't think of the last time there has been a tie - I think it was with paschal - that was some time ago. So Jeanne is off - and she is pissed - it was an angry commentary - yikes! And the hope for a New England winner is over - sad.

So discussion of  the current strategy

Team Hormone:

I feel as though Deena is in a bad spot - Alex and Rob want nothing to do with her - I wouldn't be surprised if they didnt even talk to her - especially since they will hate her bossy attitude because they didnt vote for her to be the "delegator". She could team up with Matthew Von Eflkjdkfj which would be her best bet but then its still 4 against 2. Apparently Alex and Shawna get close - I think I can see Alex using that in a Colby/Jerri fashion but I dont think Shawna can pull that off - she is strategy-less. Will Rob and Alex battle over Shawna though? Then there is Jenna - who is so dumb due to her actions here today I can't believe it. If Deena wants to stay in the game she is going to have to seriously start running the roost.

Not Team Hormone (the other team):

Heidi and Dave seem to be running the show here - the question is who is running the male alliance - I think Butch is along for the ride but Roger is running the show - but Dave is being smart too - so who is it? I would imagine that the next vote out for that tribe will be tough - I'm sure it will be DG but that just seems so mean - physically the team isnt that strong compared to TH. However this team failed the "smarts" part of the challenge. I think its going to be interesting. When does the merge take place? Is it 9 people? I have my doubts on this team - which is too bad because I like the people on this tribe better - and I was very sad to see Jeanne go - I don't know who I like now.. and isnt that really what is important???

Next week - **SPECIAL NIGHT** **WEDNESDAY NIGHT** DON'T FORGET!!

After the thrilling show last night I have devised a self-quiz:

If you answered "yes" to:

1-5 questions: you have serious psychological problems - Its fearful that you may not see the light of day again through your padded cell. The men in the white jackets are on their way and ready to escort you home. Enjoy!

6-10 questions: you have potential issues to clear up - perhaps you are new to the world of television and havent come to terms with reality tv yet. Do the names Ytossi and Taheed mean anything to you? Do you know how much Mitchell weighs? Do you know who peas and carrots are? Can you name Pucks occupation? And does Mark Walberg make you think of Marky Mark? Seek more tv - it is your friend.

11+ questions: Welcome to my sad world of shame - luckily there are many like us that are addicted to tv. The pain doesnt end - we are forever trapped and further getting hooked in. You can take comfort in this little ditty created by co-conspirator DaveyD:

I'm watching Reality TV

It's sucking the life out of me

The shows are always on

My mind will soon be gone

Like a commuter on the window with Leigh
