Just some notes

Just FYI, I am on vacation and will posting a little more sporadically than usual. But I will be keeping up with American Idol and Dancing With the Stars, so keep checking in!

Grease: You're the One That I Want voters, don't forget to check out Sun theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck's story previewing tonight's finale. In addition to an analysis of the show, there's also a number of experts giving their picks, plus a recap of the Sun reader survey. Enjoy. Along with the experts in the story and the readers who voted, I'm predicting Max and Laura will win it.

I finally got to catch up with Survivor: Fiji last night, and what an interesting episode it was. The tribes got shuffled, and only one ended up getting the good camp. Plus, since there was an odd number of people left, the last person (Lisi) ended up having to go to Exile Island. Some things that struck me:

  • I really like Earl, but he sure seemed to think he was running things this week. It was positively Machiavellian, and that always bites contestants in the end. (And before anyone points out Richard Hatch, let me remind you where he is right now: prison.)
  • Ravu ended up being all men -- Rocky, Christopher, Dreamz, Edgardo, Alex and Mookie. And poor Christopher, who called himself a geek, did not feel comfortable among the musclebound masses.
  • Next time Rocky feels like lecturing someone about their social skills, he should take a long, hard look at himself. What a jerk.
  • Lisi certainly painted a huge target on herself when, upon learning she was still in the game but going to Exile Island, acted like she would rather be going straight home. What a player! Ick.
  • Speaking of both of them, Rocky's going to be just thrilled to have Lisi joining his team, I can already tell.
  • I'm still a fan of Yau-Man. I was so glad to see him get to eat (and have the strength to carry the flag, hence the episode title).
  • That immunity challenged looked like it was going to end in some broken bones, but I guess everyone made it through all right.

It was a good time for a mixup -- the tedium of Ravu losing constantly is finally over, and things have to change. I'm ready for that!
