I thoroughly enjoyed the Survivor 47 premier on Wednesday. Was like reconnecting with an old friend after a time apart. Was also fun to watch it with my wife, as she is a big fan of Jon Lovett and Pod Save America. Not really sure of who I want to go far as it takes me a few episodes to get a feeling of who I best connect with. Though the challenges were a lot of fun. I am getting a little tired of the current beware advantages. To much individualism. I liked them better when they had to say those crazy phrases to the other tribes. Even the bead making was more enjoyable than watching a person run from place to place.

This episode also showed me again why I think the show is fascinating and would love to be a contestant. Once Andy (great name by the way), had his small panic attack, I’m thinking, well so much for him. But he was able to rebound and somehow get his tribe to think he was an asset that they needed to keep. There are so many times when I think to myself, what are these people thinking, and why are they making these crazy decisions and moves. I also think how I would play things (would I lie, or hide a found advantage from everybody). I tend to think I would play the game as an open book and just see what happens.

I did submit another application, and have my fingers crossed that this is my time. I just have to keep thinking positively and hopefully good things will happen

Was good to be able to read Dalton Ross’s Survivor Recap on EW. Crazy he has been writing the recap since the beginning, and I have been reading it for almost as long (don’t remember when I started, but it was way back.

And I am almost done with Season 2 of Kellyn Bechtold’s Road To Reality PodCast. A real fun listen and lots of interesting insight on past Survivors personal view of things, (as opposed to a Survivor Contestants view)

Big Brother is getting down towards the end. Will be interesting to see how things play out. Was a fan of Quinn, but with him gone, I’m rooting for either Makensy or Leah. Crazy how this show continues to keep me watching

Big win for Lehigh Football last week over LIU. The Mountain Hawks take on Princeton at Goodman Stadium on Saturday. This season already feels more upbeat and exciting then the past few seasons, and hoping for a win over Princeton to keep things going

The NY Giants played such a strange game against the Washington Commanders. It suckes that they lost, but I feel a lot better than after week 1s pathetic performance. I think they will be able to beat the Cleveland Browns this weekend, which would set things up for the Thursday night matchup against Dallas.

Lets Go Mets / OMG — The Mets scored 10 runs in 3 consecutive games for the 1st time in team history as they continue to move closer to clinching a playoff spot. After the crazy beginning of the season (Lost their first 5 games, fought back to .500, only to have an awful stretch where they fell to 11 games under .500). Then Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonzo called a players meeting, followed by Grimace throwing out the 1st pitch and its been all uphill since then (they enter the final 9 games with a 85 – 68 record)

Thats a wrap for now

Enjoy your weekend everybody
