Survivor Micronesia: I’m Ruthless … and I Have a Smile on my Face
(S16E11) “Oh, it’s going to be awkward.” - James
Okay, we might be having a rather lackluster season of Big Brother, but Survivor Micronesia is kicking strategical butt. These castaways aren’t messing around. They’re not fickle and, once they’ve made up their minds on a plan, they follow through. They’re diabolical and sneaky. I like that in my castaways. It’s good to see some real strategy for a change even if I might not always want to see someone go so soon. Yes, I’m talking Ozzy. He’s history and I think I have new favorites now. Yeah, I’m being fickle. What of it?
Read on past the jump for the full review of tonight’s episode.
Last week I mentioned that I’m still not liking Skinny Dude Jason. He tends to be full of himself and way too smug for a newbie on the show. He’s a strong competitor, but I personally enjoy Erik a lot more. I can only have one Skinny Survivor Dude in my life and Erik’s the one. Then there’s Cirie. Although in her own season she wasn’t too strategical a player, she’s become the PuppetMistress this season. She just keeps pulling those strings and smiling a sweet smile. I love it!
I’m glad James not only told off Parvati, but he called her out for voting against Ozzy during tribal council, too. Good for him. I like James, but I can’t see him long for this game. No matter his physical strength, he’s outnumbered by the women’s voting block. When it goes down, it will be like the Lilliputians tying down Gulliver. Unless he has immunity, he has the largest target on his back as it now stands. I’ll miss him when it happens — James says the best lines each show!
Tonight’s Survivor Auction was similar to ones we’ve seen in the past. They received wallets with $500 to spend on covered dishes. Most of the dishes were good things, but a few were booby prizes. One huge difference is that Natalie received a note telling her to send someone to Exile Island and take that person’s money. She was definitely panicking over which person to choose and the second she chose Jason, it looked like she wished she could rescind her choice. He didn’t want to go, begged not to go. Natalie asked if a new idol was buried there and Jeff Probst affirmed it. Uh-oh. The really wrong choice! They want him out, not to have a hidden immunity idol!
Damage control went down immediately amongst the women. They decided that Jason will probably find the idol (which he did) and they needed to blindside him so he won’t use it. Now, he can’t win immunity, either. Natalie works her wiles on him, convinces him that he has a new alliance and that the plan is to vote out James. Erik was already given a free ride this week because it was his birthday. He didn’t know it and put 110% in winning the convoluted immunity challenge. The back up plan was to vote out James, but it wasn’t needed.
Jason might be a very strong competitor when it comes to the physical end. But he’s not too bright when it comes to trusting people, is he? Who’s the smart and sneaky snake? Why, Natalie! She might even give Cirie a run for her money if she continues on the way she did tonight. According to Natalie, she’s “in game mode, ruthless, cut-throat, stone-cold bitch with a smile on her face.”
Sure enough, Jason bought all that Natalie was selling him. Heck, maybe I should try selling him the Brooklyn Bridge. He just might go for it! He put his trust in her when she told him that everyone was voting out James. Hook, line, and sinker! He didn’t use the hidden idol and it was the second major blindside within two weeks. His blindside was even enough to make surly jury member Ozzy smile for a moment. And, the move made me a bit more aware of Natalie’s actual spunk for the game.
A few random things:
- James said, “There’s something wrong with that boy” about Erik offering money to lick chocolate cake and frosting off of fingers, but James took the fruit bat soup Natalie didn’t want!
- I think James might be just a bit touched in the head for liking fruit bat soup!
- I can finally tell Natalie and Alexis apart. Yay.
- I’m so not liking the poor sport Ozzy we now see. First, he gave the finger to the folks at tribal council. Then he sat there and pouted like an insolent child all during tribal.
- This might be a bit sexist of me, but I am a woman. I’m so happy to see the women on the show stepping up their game and becoming a force to be reckoned with!
- I still want Parvati out, though.
Madonna Sells Her Maverick Label
Madonna Sells Her Maverick Label
Back in 1995, a fledgling record label called Maverick Records released a then-unknown artist’s (Alanis Morrissette) debut album “Jagged Little Pill.” It went multi-platinum, and the label’s owner, Madonna, had a big smile on her face.
Twelve years later, Madge is letting go of her 60% of the label. Warner Music Group has agreed to buy the remaining percentage (they already own 40%) in a deal that also alleviates some legal tension.
Maverick had recently filed a lawsuit against Time Warner alleging breach of contract and mismanagement. And according to Maverick’s lawyer Bert Fields, “It was an effective way of settling the lawsuit. It’s clean and equitable, and it doesn’t have anything to do with her record contract.”
The Material Girl will still record under Warner Music and is even said to be working with pop star Justin Timberlake on a new duet.

Sahara Hotnights - Cheek to cheek Lyrics
Face to face, cheek to cheek
You hear the pounding beat
Don’t care what’s on my baby’s mind
Face to face, cheek to cheek
Let’s leave it just like this
Right after all is said and done
Call me; you’re sinning
I knew it all the while
Let’s not put the blame
Why don’t we save the comfort time?
I was your real love
Try your best to hide
You can’t count down to one
Cause when I’m serious you’ll smile
Face to face, cheek to cheek
You hear the pounding beat
Don’t care what’s on my baby’s mind
Face to face, cheek to cheek
Let’s leave it just like this
Right after all is said and done
You call me bossy
A sort of price control
A script turn in my hand
I think I’m done in in my role
I pick the games
I said I proved the low
Now pick from me the watch
Your baby seemed to play along
Face to face, cheek to cheek
You hear the pounding beat
Don’t care what’s on my baby’s mind
Face to face, cheek to cheek
That’s the sound of peace
Right after all is said and done
Face to face, cheek to cheek
Do you hear the pounding beat?
Don’t care what’s on my baby’s mind
Face to face, cheek to cheek
That’s the sound of peace
Right after all is said and done
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Desecration Smile Video and Lyrics
DESECRATION SMILE Song Lyrics RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, RHCP are the BEST !!!
All alone not by myself
Another girl bad for my health
I’ve seen it all thru someone else
(Another girl bad for my health)
Celebrated but undisturbed
Serenaded by the terror bird
It’s seldom seen but it’s never heard
(Serenaded by the terror bird)
Never in the wrong time or wrong place
Desecration is the smile on my face
The love i made is the shape of my space
My face my face
Disintergrated by the rising sun
A rolling black out of oblivion
And I’d like to think that I’m your #1
(I’m rolling black out of oblivion)
I wanna leave but I just get stuck
A broken record runnin’ low on luck
There’s heavy metal coming from your truck
I’m a (a broken record runnin’ low on luck)
We could all go down to
Malibu and make some noise
Coca Cola doesn’t do the justice
She enjoys
We could all come up with
Something new to be destroyed
We could all go down
I love the feeling when it falls apart
I’m slow to finish but quick to start and
Beneath the heather lies the meadowlark
And I’m
(Slow to finish but quick to start)
