Recap
Episode : The
Whole is Greater than the
Summary of its Parts
Thanksgiving
is the perfect time to reflect for what I'm thankful.
Obviously my wife, kids, family, friends, yada, yada,
yada. Those are
a given. If you
don't say those first, you're an idiot because you're
going to get "The Look" and a lecture is soon to follow.
To go beyond the obvious, I'm thankful for:
Wendy's being open until midnight, injuries to players on
opposing fantasy football teams, self-stick envelopes, my
DVR, peanut M&M's, remote controls, "Going-out-of-Business" sales, condoms, waived late
fees, merciful cops, casinos, Velcro shoes, and
Pittsburgh sports teams, even the ones that suck.
There are so many more, but I'm not allowed to list
them, so let's get to Survivor.
Tonight's
show was a summary show, so there were only a few new things
and only some are worthy of commentary.
So let's get it going.
In the first show, they went to a temple that was up
a super long stairway.
Before entering the temple, the girls were given
cloths to cover their Jinggang
Mountains. As of this
moment, lawyers are discussing with the Chinese government
about the need to install a giant escalator.
The American lawyers said that the escalator is
necessary because the Americans with Disabilities Act grants
access by all people to any public place.
The Chinese government responded, "We no in America. We in China."
When asked
her opinion about this situation, Hilary Clinton firmly
stated two opposing opinions.
After a week of flip-flopping, Hilary finally stated
that she was in favor of the girls not covering their
breasts.
We
saw a little more into the first few days and the hunt for
something to eat. Some
of the delicacies included worms, frogs, leaves, and sea
celery. Before
eating the worms, they would try to squeeze the poop out of
them. Many
people thought it was sick.
I didn't think so, but then gross things don't
bother me. For
example, finding a hair in your food at a restaurant freaks
most people. Some
just pretend to be freaked in order to get a free meal.
Hairs don't bother me.
In fact, I just put the hairs to the side of my plate
and keep eating. When
I'm done eating, if the hair is long enough, I'll floss
with it.
If
you remember, Todd bitch-slapped Aaron into being the leader
for the Fei Long tribe.
After deciding he didn't like being the leader
anymore, he woke everyone up for a "pow-wow."
He said he relinquished the title of leader.
He immediately went on to tell everybody what to do
and when to do it. I
don't think he was that bossy when he was the boss.
While watching this segment with his family on
Thanksgiving, he thought, "Man, am I dumb!"
He regrets that during the Thanksgiving blessing he
thanked God for the opportunity to be on Survivor.
Now he is praying that nobody he knows remembered to
watch tonight.
Leslie
was cleaning the camp and threw away the fish heads that
were bait for the next day's fishing trip.
I don't know if she was cleaning because she is
obsessive compulsive or just trying to kiss everyone's
ass, but I do know this:
When she meets Aaron at the Dumb Club's monthly
meeting, she has plenty to talk about.
In
a huff, Todd confronts Jean-Robert about a rumor that
Jean-Robert blamed Todd for the loss in a puzzle challenge.
The rumor had been exaggerated so Todd ends up
looking dumb enough to earn a guest pass at the Dumb
Club's annual skunk hunt.
Courtney
has shown another skill besides balancing on barrels.
She is very good at doing impressions of the other
tribe members. She
was doing very well, and everyone was laughing.
I like mocking people too.
When I was in college, I had a German Microeconomics
professor that I would imitate before class.
People loved it.
I still remember the words, "Production
possibilities. You
must understand!"
Someone
stole her brief case, so she gave everyone essay tests for
the rest of the semester.
I failed the class and changed majors.
I can thank Ursula for guiding me towards education.
I
hope everyone enjoyed their turkey feast.
Have a great weekend!
