Very sad to see that George Wendt passed away. A fine actor best known for his role of Norm Peterson on the classic show “Cheers“. Cheers was a huge show al through my years at Lehigh. Back then, there were TV shows that were truly must watch, and Cheers was at the top of the list. I remember gathering in somebody’s room every week to watch it, We would laugh and laugh. All the characters were perfect and still resonate with people today. Rittenhouse Archives recently put out a card set for the show with one of the highlights being classic lines by Norm as he entered the bar.

Last year, my wife and I ended up at a brewery in New Hope, PA. On the wall behind the bar was a picture of George Wendt. I mentioned I liked the picture to the bartender, who told me it was an actual picture taken in the bar a few years back. George was performing in a play at the Bucks County Playhouse across the street and was staying in the hotel right above the bar. He stopped by a few times and grabbed a beer.

Geroge Wendt was one of a kind and will be missed RIP George Wendt (Norm)

Tonight is the Survivor 48 Season Finale, and a new winner will be crowned. To me, it’s been an OK season. As I have posted a few times, there just wasn’t somebody whom I could get behind and root for to win. Add that in the past few episodes, people seemed to be just going through the motions, not wanting to make any kind of big move. We will see if Kyle and Kamillias move to get rid of Shauhin pays off, or if it will be Joe and Eva at the end. (Or in something completely crazy, watch it somehow be Mitch winning as everybody simply forgets about him and he makes it to the end.

I understand that Jeff, Jesse, and the producers want people with interesting back stories, but to me, you need to go back to when there were more so-called average people who were interested in playing a game to win 1,000,000.00 dollars at all costs, and not just looking for an island vacation. The few who wanted to win (Star and Mary) were simply outnumbered and could never find a way to break into the top. Star gave her Idol away, but never seems to care, or even mention it to Eva. Mary tried too hard to mix things up every time she was near the bottom, and people got tired of it.

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised that Kyle and Kamillia were able to pull off the move they did. No way Joe should have believed a thing that was said by Kyle this far into the game. And then all Kamillia had to say was “I saw it” and Joe completely lost all trust he had of Shauhin. Seems crazy to me, but having never been in that kind of situation, I guess it could happen

Shameless Plug

This kind of thing is one of the main reasons I am dying to be a contestant on Survivor. To be put in an uncomfortable situation with a bunch of strangers, I wonder how I would react. As a very understanding and trusting person, would I become paranoid, would I trust everybody, would I make things up in my mind to justify things? I have no idea. If anybody out there reading this would like to help, and happens to know somebody who knows somebody who may be able to help me feel free to reach out. As this blog states (Because the world (and certain Reality Shows) need an average guy). Survivor needs Average Andy and I am up for the challenge
