The relief is like a weight off your shoulders, once Spam Arrest is on the job. It's like you've been pounding your head against the wall and suddenly stop.

The Momentum Shifts
Have we cleared the way for a powerhouse alliance?
By VikingBear, Friday September 23, 2005
Personal View
I’m still having trouble keeping the people straight. When I can’t see their buffs, I’m not even sure which tribe I’m watching! The pretty-boy models all look about the same to me, and many of their names seem to begin with B.

A Survivor fan looks at Big Brother 6

Can Big Brother tell us anything about Survivor?
By VikingBear, September 21, 2005
If you’re a fan of Big Brother, you should first ask your doctor whether this essay is right for you. This essay’s really about Survivor!
Big Brother was a great season this summer, or so I’m told. I was underwhelmed… Why? What did I miss? And then, because the world really *does* revolve around Survivor, I got to wondering… can my reaction to Big Brother tell me anything about our Survivor Guatemala season in progress?
Yes, it can!

A look at the pieces Burnett has placed in motion for Survivor Guatemala
By VikingBear, September 16, 2005
We just might have the best season before us since Survivor Pearl Islands. Let’s take a look at why this is so.

Why Stephanie is the Most Likely Winner

Why Stephanie is the Most Likely Winner
A very well thought-out article about Stephanie’s chances to win Survivor.
By VikingBear, April 16, 2005
Stephanie has dropped the last Ulong buff, and wrapped herself in the new smells-fresh Kuror colors. She survived the first Tribal Council with her new tribe.
Last week she was the Last Loser Standing. This week I rate her Most Likely Winner. Her’s why.
The Kuror alliances appear to be fixed, for the moment. Consider:

Jenn as the Ultimate Survivor
Saturday, March 25th, 2006 Jenn as the Ultimate Survivor
Jennifer exposes herself as the powerful player, with Stephanie’s ousting.
By VikingBear, May 01, 2005
Coby’s on the Jury because he was the ultimate threat. I know this is true because Coby told us so.
Janu’s on the Jury in fulfilment of her plea bargain arrangement.
Stephanie’s on the Jury because… I’m not really sure why she’s there. But she is, and the reason *might* be the same reason that leaves Jenn with the money by a 4/3 vote.

Katie and the Alpha Males

Playing the Million Dollar Role for Her Manly Men
By VikingBear, May 03, 2005
Things happen in Survivor which wouldn’t necessarily fly so well in real life. Such as beginning that second month in the same underwear. It’s a small closed society placed under a microscope. We see the best and worst; just seeing normal people would be boring.

Breaking the Tie
Saturday, March 25th, 2006 Breaking the Tie
Is Caryn in position to win Survivor?
By VikingBear, May 03, 2005
After puttering along for two months on The Amazing Race, Gretchen announced that she had suddenly decided to step up and WIN this thing. What if, in spite of all we’ve seen to the contrary, Caryn makes a similar decision on Survivor?
What must Caryn do to win? Keep Gregg in the game! Here’s why.

Does the Next Boot determine the Final Two?
Saturday, March 25th, 2006 Does the Next Boot determine the Final Two?
Why it will all come down to Coby
By VikingBear, May 05, 2005
Who gets the boot tonight? I don’t know! I know who SHOULD get voted out, but thus far I’ve seen little indication that Kuror is actually listening to me. So, instead, let’s take a look at the Final Five, whoever they might be, and see what each eviction tells us about the balance of power.

When the sparks fly, who gets hurt?
By VikingBear, May 06, 2005
This essay’s about Katie. But to put Katie in context, we need to look at my list of the gutsiest moves in the history of Survivor: (more…)
