Survivor 38 Edge of Extinction Blog Pool OPENS!

It's coming! The season premiere of Survivor is next Wednesday, February 20. Between now and the premiere, I will be getting some cast posts up and running.

The Lovely Lifeguard Laurie has once again graciously offered to run the blog pool for the show. She, but of course, rocks!

I want in! What do I do?

If you want in to the blog pool, you need to sign up in the comments of this post and this post only! Please don't try signing up on any other posts -- we might miss your comment.

Is there money involved in this?

Of course not! You needn't pay anything to get into the pool. You don't need to buy a pool pass or anything! Mind you, you don't win any money either. What you do win is bragging rights until the next season and the smugness that goes with it.

How does it work?

Lifeguard Laurie makes random picks for the castaways and the blog folks. You cheer on that castaway all season until they either win or get their torch snuffed along the way.

When is the cut-off for entering?

All pool requests must be in comments to this here post and submitted by Tuesday,February 19, 3pm ET. Be there or be square. 

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds Into the Last Sleep - Feb. 13

Workin' it

Here's the latest from inside that Celeb BB House of The Last Sleep:

• Well, not the last sleep like they're going to die or anything like that!
• It's their last sleep in the house.
• And, they're all itching to get out. They'd never last the three months of normal seasons.
• As expected, Lolo did not use the veto and nominations remain Dina and Kandi.
• Lolo thinks she has a super-tight alliance with Tamar and, had she saved one with the veto, Tamar would be the only possible replacement.
• On the other hand, Tamar is working to convince Lolo that DINA (of all people) is a big threat to win it all and must go.
• Ha. Really now. 
• I think it's more that Tamar is trying for that final two with Kandi despite their ups and downs.
• While Dina is liked by all … she's a nice enough person … she's not likely to win at all. It's a wonder she made it this far. She's just kind of ditzy and seems to often reside detached from the world as it is.
• Meanwhile, while Kandi hasn't won anything (maybe I'm forgetting something), she has been talking game. She has spent a lot of the short season on the block. She's definitely more into it all than is Dina.
• I still doubt Kandi would win against either Tamar or Lolo.
• Ricky is a bit of a wild card. I doubt he'd win against either of them either.
• I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens tonight.
• It sounds like a good half of the "live" finale will be taped as they decided to show the clips episode instead of at least the HoH comp the other night.
• If Lolo makes the final two, it's almost certain she'll win. She's repeatedly played the "I desperately need the money" card. She also seems to be a lonely type person seeking friends in this world. It's kind of sad.
• But I don't think it's criteria for a win!
• Maybe that's just me ...

Has he a chance against the women?

Block buddies

A threat to win? Bwahahaha!

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds, PoV Winner - Feb. 12

You gotta know when to hold, know when to fold

Am I still ticked that last night was a filler clips show? I mean, we're talking the penultimate show here and it was clips! There are only 13 episodes to the whole season and they wasted the one before the finale on that stuff?

Grr.

Well, the live feeds were blocked for hours once again as the chamsters played out the veto comp. Lolo won, so it's all a bit too predictable now. I'm sure Dina and Kandi will remain on the block. The only two voting will be Tamar and Lolo. Tamar should push for Kandi to stay, but she herself can be a bit unpredictable. Ricky would be the tiebreaker if there is one needed. If it comes to that, I think he'd probably keep Kandi because he has more connection with her than he has with Dina.

I think we all realize who the final three will be.

'nuff said.

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Clips Show Blog Party - Feb. 11

This is what happens when they only have 13 episodes on television. Tonight they're jamming in the last HoH, Nominations, apparently a live Veto and Eviction. 

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please stop in and join the fun!

Here are Lifeguard Glenn's latest blog pool standings --

Donna NY - Dina
Bizaro22 - Kandi
Cheryl in NC - Lolo
Jennifer - Ricky
Monty924 - Tamar
Joyce Johnson - Dina
Ayana - Kandi
CaelaXO - Lolo
Fred AKA Two Aces - Ricky
Janice - Tamar
Skyriver Blue - Lolo
Donna in FL - Kandi
Sharon N - Lolo
Alicia in Tx - Tamar
David - Dina
Renee Buck/Renee from NJ - Ricky

Buckle in … turbulence ahead!

Well, after the Previously On segment, that is.

Tamar is an excited gal. Who woulda thunk that? Lolo is lamenting the loss of Natalie, but says now she's playing for the both of them. Kandi is just thrilled to still be in the house. She kind of trusts Dina and Tamar, but will depend on herself.

They have a champagne breakfast when the doorbell rings. It's Mark McGrath from CBB1. Lots of small talk, talk of the Mooch and flashbacks. More small talk. (Have we got time for this?) More flashbacks.

More and more flashbacks. I might be wrong on all they SHOULD cover tonight. I guess it's a Whatever Show. I really prefer more organization in these things.

Kato trying to make Ricky laugh, Tamar and Lolo arguing over sea bass. Flashback after flashback.

Ack. My apologies … but I just can't live blog a clips show. I should have looked more into what was supposed to be on tonight. Now they'll really have to cram everything in two hours on the Wednesday night finale.

Finally to the start of the HoH comp which was days ago. Marissa is there and it's set up in a theater theme. It's her musical. Horn sounds hit button to operate music box, fly to get puzzle pieces, all timed. They're dressed as bats.

And, we just get the start of the comp.

Celebrity Big Brother 2: Live Feeds Into Monday, Feb. 11

Kandi needs to stay!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Why Are They Celebrities?:

• Still no Power of Veto Comp -- it should be today.
• Kandi and Dina are now referring to themselves as Frick and Frack, a term previously used for Tom and Kato.
• The biggest news was that they (and we) watched really brief videos from their loved ones.
• Er, well … Lolo's was actually from her training partner.
• She said her mother is camera shy. Now, if it's true, I can actually believe that. Apparently a smart woman, she's avoiding the BB publicity at any cost as Lolo's mom!
• Tamar's little boy is indeed adorable and certainly wasn't camera shy.
• He came across as a lot more mellow than his Mom!
• They have no clue what the comps ahead will be so they're studying days, items in the house and more.
• Although it's Kandi and Dina on the block and one could immediately leave, the others all realize they're down to two days left.
• They're already talking like the house is a past memory!
• They're all in a state of packing it up.
• Not much game talk at all went on.
• Everything game hinges on the veto. 
• Unless she pulls off a miracle and wins veto, I'm thinking it will be Dina going home.
• However, I also think the big threat to win would be Kandi.
• I wouldn't mind seeing her win it at all!

Often mellow, always devious

Impressive attire? Um. No.

If they don't get her out ...
