Is it a religious offering made of fruit or a stuffed deer's head? You decide! By Kerri Fleming The epitome of a terrible Survivor player is one that somehow gets so blindsided that they get voted out with a hidden immunity idol (or, if you're James, TWO hidden immunity idols) that they never played. This week, we learned the Amazing Race equivalent, which is coming in dead last while holding an Express Pass, despite multiple opportunities to trade it in. It's hard to fault John, though.

Sleeping: The 13486651521232nd leading cause of serious eye injures. Stay safe, kids! This episode had everything you could possibly want from Survivor: the reintroduction of separate reward and immunity challenges, a hilariously adorable local copping a feel on some of the lady contestants, a medical evacuation, an alliance switch-up and not one, not two, but THREE newly christened super secret Phillip nicknames. Best hour of television this week? I think so! Things started with a bit of a temper tantrum by Eddie. It made sense: with his

Massive stampede for a prize of blankets and pillows or to get away from Shamar's attitude? You decide. This season of Survivor is only three episodes old and I'm already suffering from a severe Shamar overdose. Symptoms include extreme defensiveness, recipient-free rage, and a craving for shade-sleeping and wearing underwater goggles. The only known cure is spending time with understanding blonde females. In all seriousness, what percentage of these first three episodes were devoted to Shamar in some sense? I'm guessing 60-65 and it would have

I'm going to do every future Amazing Race contestant a favor and create a handy-dandy to-do list. If you and your lucky significant other/best friend/parent/sibling/roller derby teammate get selected to appear in a future season, you'd be wise to spend the intervening weeks doing the following: 1. Adopting a fitness training program. Couch to 5K. P90X. CrossFit. BodyPump. It doesn't really matter which. The key is going into the show with the ability to run 20 feet without collapsing in a mass of hyperventilation and shame.

This Sunday, Hollywood does what Hollywood does best, honor itself with awards. The 85th Academy Awards will be handing out the golden statuette to films, actors and technicians which (in theory) are the best in from the last year of film. Best Animated Feature: Brave Frankenweenie ParaNorman The Pirates! Band of Misfits Wreck-It Ralph I’ve only seen two of these but I’m picking Brave. It’s concept, animation and emotion were powerful. If you haven’t seen Brave, you should. Best Actress in a Supporting Role: Amy Adams - The Master Sally

"I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me...but I can't help it that I'm so popular." - Gretchen Wieners Now, I was an English major, which means that I can quote the first few lines of The Raven with no trouble and sometimes find myself reading O. Henry collections for fun. It also means that my ability to do math in my head is childishly inadequate. Counting my cribbage hand takes me longer than I care to admit and figuring out what I owe on

Sandcastles are hard The Amazing Race has returned to TV and all is right with the world. Before we kick off, let's take a gander at our 11 teams: Chuck & Wynona - Married 15 years, this Alabama couple describes themselves as part redneck and part country, which is kind of like describing the color of my kitchen walls as part blue and part azure. Wynona, we'll learn, loves herself some vodka, while Chuck's identity comes in equal parts from his do-it-yourself permed mullet and

Most memorable worst Survivor ever? Aaaaaannnnd we're back for another season of Jeff Probst's dimples , superfluous footage of native animals (insert swimming tortoise shots here) and progressively more disgusting looking buffs. That's right, it's Survivor time, and this season, we get the always entertaining Fans vs. Favorites clause. We're clearly using the term "favorites" loosely (hey, Corinne!) but we're getting our second straight season of Malcolm, so I'll call that a push. The newcomer fans arrived at Jeff Probst Island first and were soon joined
