In Case Anybody Wants To Talk About Tonight’s SURVIVOR Or THE OFFICE??

Published at:  Nov 13, 2009 2:52:47 AM CST

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!

... or "Community" or "Fringe" or "Vampire Diaries" or "CSI" or "FlashForward" or whatever.

Two highlights for me:

SPOILERS!

* The promo for next week’s “Survivor,” as Russell Hantz tries to outrun his tribemates as he undertakes his third search for the hidden immunity idol.

* The sound of Creed Bratton’s tires as they exited the Dunder Mifflin parking lot.

Tonight:
“Murder.”
Written by Danny Chun
Michael’s world is rocked by troubling rumors about Dunder Mifflin. He forces the office into a day of strange diversions, upsetting Jim and leading others to wonder if Michael has gone insane. Meanwhile, Andy finds that his chief obstacle in courting Erin (Ellie Kemper) is his own awkwardness.


Next Week:
“Shareholder Meeting.”
Written by Justin Spitzer
Michael gets excited when he’s invited by David Wallace to be honored on stage at the Dunder Mifflin shareholder meeting in New York, and he brings Andy, Dwight and Oscar along for the ride. Meanwhile, Jim has a hard time getting Ryan to do work.


Deleted from last week’s “Double Date”:

    Favorite. Survivor. Moment. EVER!

    by paragoncomplex

    Russel pulling out the immunity idol at tribal council was unequivocally my favorite Survivor moment ever, and quite possibly the most amazing moment ever in the history of the show. I loved it. Russel sucks at the physical challenges, but he has one hell of a mind on him. Laura is pretty good too. Now it seems that Russel is the hero and Laura is the villain. How crazy is that?

    Reply to Talkback

    every shot at tribal looked like Laura was chewing her liver

    by m00kiedood

    She just radiated so much distaste and hate as the shit went down at tribal.

    If Russel doesn't clamp down on her quick, she will rule as the Evil Survivor Bitch Queen. She seems pretty driven.

    Probst better be sleeping with the final votes under his pillow and surrounded by an armed guard, becuase Russel would have no qualms about sabotaging the live vote.

    But now I really want Foa Foa to pull it off. Russell is a tad bit overrated, but damn, that was good. Rocket Scientist: "I don't know, what if Russell finds the idol again?" Dave: "Why do you worry about such idiotic things?"
    Supernatural was fun, too. The LARPer's Batman-like imitation of Sam's voice was awesome.
    Also, Sunny - something about a whole bunch of cats getting stuck in the wall made me laugh and laugh and laugh.

    Same here, first thing I thought of when I saw "whatever" (and the mention of Vampire Diaries of all things) was that must mean Supernatural. Which was great tonight BTW. Slash-fic jokes are still funny. Office was good too (thank you DVR), as was 30 Rock but what else is new there. Parks & Rec is growing on me too, as the Office did over time. Can't believe anyone even watches Survivor still. Especially with so many other good things on. Sadly not surprised about Dollhouse being cancelled, but hey it was fun... ish while it lasted.

    Russ-FoaFoa

    by red ned lynch

    I don't really thin Russ is that much of a villain, at least to this point. I mean he schemes and scrambles, but he rarely actually gets what he wants. He's more a...survivor? He manages to survive when it seems impropable that he would. As for his tribe triumphing...last year there were similar numbers at the merge and the little tribe ended up destroying the bigger one. If it happens two seasons in a row that would be...funny.

    I'm chiming in with everyone saying tonight's Survivor was one for the books. Loved it loved it loved it. Laura is really his only obstacle now.

    In Other tv news, I thought The Office was good for the first time this season, and 30 Rock was on form as always.

    Anyone else catch FlashForward? Not as good as last week but I really enjoyed Dom Monaghan sharing scenes with Sonya Walger. Made me pine for Lost...

    by big jim

    One of the things I love about the show, it doesn't take itself too seriously. They are willing to poke fun at the more fanatical of fans and their fantasies about the show"...and at 4:30 there's 'The Homo-Erotic Subtext of Supernatural' ".I too liked the guys using the Batman-like voices for their characters. Although I think the biggest laugh for me was that one guy's reaction to seeing the ghost: "HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP!".

    by jayemel

    I'm so glad to finally see the thinking man who wants to succeed be praised by people. Also, it's nice to see person who thinks she deserves everything without work and has disdain for everyone else, Laura, be the villian. Long live Survivor, the king of reality shows! If this show doesn't win the Emmy for Best reality Competition next time around, it's a travesty.

    by big jim

    arrogant. However, he is a smart guy, and does seem able to read people well enough to know who his biggest threat is. He did seem to be a bit cocky in that challenge when he hooked his last bag and nonchalantly started to pull it back, allowing Laura to catch up.Last week, seeing the 3 Galu guys turn on Erik instead of Jaison or Mick, severly weakened their hold on the game. Seemed like Laura realized this; she could have, by getting rid of the Foa Foa guys, used Natalie as part of a girl alliance to take control of the game. But now Russell has ruined those plans.

    by big jim

    episodes. He did stuff to make his tribe miserable. His actions caused dissension, arguably keeping the tribe from being able to function as a cohesive unit, especially in challenges. He claims he doesn't need the money, that he's doing it just to prove a point - how easy it is to win the game. He screwed with everyone and got players eliminated because he felt they were a threat to his plans. Russell convinced his tribe to vote them out because they were detrimental to camp life; in fact their only sin was challenging Russell.

    Outstanding episode of Survivor

    by dadtimestwo

    One of the best ever. The looks on the faces of the former Galu members when they saw Russell stand up and play the idol was priceless. I believe Russell will go down as one of the all time greats to play the game, even if he doesn't win. It will take a miracle for him to stay in the game. I even expect people to throw reward challenges (or choose to take Russell) just to keep Russell from spending time alone at camp! "Dude, you're coming with me. I need to keep an eye on you!"

    Reply to Talkback

  • Lying about being a Katrina victim from Louisiana, burning up his tribemates' socks in a fire and drinking up their water just to weed out the weak were douchebag moves worthy of Johnny Fairplay. But now, Russell finally has a villain of his own in Laura and outsmarting her machinations to take him out only makes him look good, especially when she's coming off like a total bitch.

    by gene_parmesan

    They show Laura ordering the Galu members to follow Russell wherever he goes, and they show him trying to run away from them. The most classic thing ever would be for Shambo to "volunteer" to look for the idol for Galu and secretly give it to Russell. I swear to Roth, I'll give up drinking for a month if this happens.

    Like I said in an earlier post; just how crazy is it that Russel is now the hero and Laura the villain? The looks on the old Galu's faces andf Dave mouthing "Wow" was great. I had to rewind it and watch it again. I love it when the cocky bitches get got. I second the idea of Shambo volunteering to look for the idol and giving it to Russel. I'd love to be on Survivor. I think of so many elaborate plans and schemes of my own that I honestly think I could win.

    Natalie is playing a good game and seems to be flying under the radar.
