Looks like the standard mix of old and young, good looking mostly and a few odd ones that should be entertaining to watch. Any comments about the Survivor cast?

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.

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.
