Castaways Announced For Survivor: Gabon

CBS has announced the 18 castaways who will be “battling extreme conditions and interacting with wildlife such as elephants and gorillas” on Survivor: Gabon — Earth’s Last Eden, premiering Sept. 25. Host Jeff Probst says, “In a strange coincidence to ‘Earth’s Last Eden,’ good vs. evil emerges as a major theme this season.” Last season’s James and his “Don’t bite the apple” catchphrase would’ve fit in beautifully. The castaways, in alphabetical order, are:

Big Brother 10: 8/28 Show Recap

Posted by johnnysweeptheleg A week’s worth of Big Brother in one night. Also known as the little less conversation, a little more action episode. Julie doesn’t want to hear you talk, houseguests. There will be no foreplay. Get right to the activities! The episode begins with a few flashbacks to the post Veto ceremony, with Ollie throwing his tantrum. Ollie and Michelle believe Dan is a plant. Not to be confused with the Plant Man. Thinking he’s going to drop some huge revelation on the houseguests, Ollie walks outside and begins telling everyone about the three-part deal he made with […]

“Highway 18” Quick Nine: The Spotlight

1. Odds are good someone’s going home. Three teams have a shot at getting sent home today: Raul and Jameica, Andy and Parker and the Ashleys. If I were a betting man, I’d put money on the Ashleys to get the boot. But I think I’ll be a little disappointed if no one goes home today. I think maybe I’ve watched too many mean-spirited reality shows, and much of my enjoyment comes from teams or individuals getting kicked off. But really, there’s no one team I dislike and want to see kicked off — I just want someone to get […]

I Love My Saturn, And So Does Project Runway

So this week the Project Runway designers have to, as Christian Siriano once told us, “make crap out of candy.” Only this time it’s not candy. It’s car parts. Saturn Vue car parts, to be exact. I don’t know if the parts are hybrid. Can a seat belt be hybrid? Hybrid polyester maybe? Rayon? Green rayon? We open this episode with Kenley talking about missing Daniel. So maybe the stuff Daniel is saying about how he was edited is true. Hmmm. Love Heidi’s dress at the top of this episode. Very French. Heidi sends them to the rooftop of another […]

"Hurl!" Here: Dog And Pony Show

Posted by Ryan Contestants on this episode of Hurl! will try to down up to 10 pounds of hot dogs and take a whirl in the spinning Round Up. Let’s meet the five guys who really want to date your daughter: Mike, an after-school programs assistant; Nick, who works at a computer lab at an elementary school; Sammy, a clothing designer and drummer for a punk band who delivers pizza in his “spare” time, if by spare he means 50 hours a week; Chris, an AV equipment installer; and Erik, a U.S. Marine who looks like a slightly bad-ass Neil […]

Big Brother 10: 8/26 Recap

Postedy by johnnysweeptheleg I can’t help but chuckle at Ollie as he struts around the house all week, thinking that he’s running the show. And why shouldn’t he? So far, through 2/3 of the agreement he made with Dan, Dan has lived up to his end of the bargain. There’s no reason for Ollie to think that Dan wouldn’t continue. But Ollie has vowed to unleash hell if he’s double crossed. California law states that you must keep your hell on a leash, as well as picking up after it. I think Ollie’s about to be ticketed, because Dan has […]

Posted by Cubicle QB Features on the Aug. 26 (7pm ET) edition of ESPN’s sports newsmagazine series E:60: Sperm U — Kids today are competing in organized sports at younger ages and with greater intensity because parents see the rewards that come with athletic achievement (college scholarships, pro salaries), as well as the consequences for children who fall behind early (physical inactivity, obesity). As such, parents resort to extreme measures to give their kids a fighting chance. E:60 correspondent Tom Farrey exclusively reports the story about the ultimate effort to buy athletic advantage — the purchase of sperm from anonymous […]

Big Brother 10: 8/24 Recap

Posted by johnnysweeptheleg Dan’s decisions during last night’s episode will either get him eliminated on Thursday’s episode (remember, it’s a DOUBLE live eviction!) or will take him all the way to the finals. After hanging for almost four hours, the HOH competition comes down to two people — Ollie and Dan. Ollie doesn’t want to drop, because he knows he’ll be the first to go on the block and go home. Dan doesn’t want to drop because he knows Ollie will be looking for vengeance, since Dan’s decision not to vote to keep April sealed her fate. So Dan does […]

Jane Seymour Is Enjoying The Laughs In Her New Roles

This month, the onetime Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman staple and Dancing With the Stars contestant debuts a new persona in Hallmark Channel‘s original film, Dear Prudence. When overworked TV household hint expert Prudence McCoy (Seymour) is forced […]
