Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 25 Episode 2 Don't Be Blinded By The Headlights


Tom's Take: 

We're back to a basic one hour episode, and I was sort of frustrated with the editing in this episode. We spent so much time with the Matsing Tribe, that it was very obvious that they would be the ones going to Tribal Council.  Still it was an okay episode, although I want to see more from the ignored Kalabaw Tribe.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Survivor Season 25 Episode 1 Survivor Smacked Me in the Chops

Tom's Take: 

I loved this episode. The whole concept of returning players rubs me the wrong way, but I like these three more than most, and I see a lot of potential among the other castaways. Let's jump right in!

Five Drinks into Reality TV: Big Brother 14 Finale and Final Rankings


Tom's Take:



This has been an insane season, and even though a lot of people are unhappy with the coach's twist, I think it provided a lot of drama, and it was fun to see Dan carve a path through these newbies to the end. There were a few boring weeks, with JoJo, Wil, and Jenn's evictions, but there are always boring weeks, and I think this season ended very strongly. In particular I thought this Final 2 was the most epic I've ever seen, as both players were deserving, and both continued to fight for their win. Have you ever seen two finalists taking jabs at each other in the middle of their answers? It was fun to watch, and contrary to popular belief, I thought Dan deserved his loss. He should have known he couldn't go to the final 2 with Ian, and yet he did. He also should have known he couldn't bring the bible and his wife's name into his swears without leaving this jury bitter, and yet he did. He played a better overall game than Ian, but his endgame was terrible. You can't go to the Final 2 with the most likeable person in the house after burning everyone in the jury and expect to win.

Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother Game and Show Reset Final 3



Tom's Take:

I am so happy with this week. Ian is in the Final 3! Dan, my projected winner, is guaranteed to be in the Final 2! I totally called Dan pulling this move!
