Blame it on your lyin', cheatin, cold, dead-beatin', two-timin', double-dealin', mean, mistreatin', lovin' heart.

As you may or may not know, I did commentary for the last season of "Survivor", and because I had so much fun doing it, I am going to continue it for the upcoming season, which debuts on February 11th. This blog will serve as a pre-season highlight and what I think will go down.

I made a video awhile ago for the contestants that are going to be appearing on the show. The season is "Heroes vs. Villains", which features 20 contestants from previous seasons that are either known for their integrity (the heroes) or their deception (the villains). I haven't seen all of the contestants from this season on their first seasons: I have watched every season since "Survivor: Palau" except for "Survivor: China" (I didn't see that because I was stupid and forgetful, plus I had youth group on Thursdays that year), so some of them I'm not familiar with.




here is the video I made for the contestants. The contestants are listed in alphabetical order. Some of them I am not familiar with, and some of them I wasn't happy about seeing again. But there are plenty of people I like.

Also, there was a preview for the season shown at the 36th People's Choice Awards. I missed it (and got very irritated, but that's another story), but thanks to the wonderfulness of my close friend Chrissy, I managed to see it. Thank you Chrissy for restoring my sanity. If you would like to watch it, here it is:



Now, I will get some biases on contestants out of the way:

J.T. Thomas and Parvati Shallow are my favorite winners of all-time (along with Yul Kwon, who is not on this season). I have had digital cameras that I named after Candice Woodcock and Jessica "Sugar" Kiper (and my one named Sugar I still have). Stephenie LaGrossa is my all-time favorite runner-up (along with fellow Survivor commentator Stephen Fishbach, who I was sad didn't come back for this season *insert pouty face here*). I have seen Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano on "The Amazing Race" with his wife Amber Brkich Mariano, and I liked him there, plus I think he's really hot. I also really liked Cirie Fields, Danielle DiLorenzo and Amanda Kimmel on their respective seasons (Cirie was on "Survivor: Panama" and "Survivor: Micronesia", Danielle on "Survivor: Panama" and Amanda on "Survivor: China" and "Survivor: Micronesia", but I only saw her on Micronesia).

Here is host Jeff Probst's overview on the contestants:



Game on!!!!!!!!! I'll keep you updated on my thoughts throughout the season.

Love y'all,
