Congratulations July!
The one part I hate about showing the Survivors the vote count is when people get 0 votes and then think that no one liked their IC.
ALL the Survivors did great on this IC, but we can each only vote for one, please remember that!
Alternamommy and Matt, you guys were in my Top 4. But everyone did outstanding.

***SPOILER ALERT for any Judges who happen to be in China and unable to watch TV Survivor***

Yelnad,
Stephanie the Anti-Social Firefighter was booted off Thursday night.
I thought she was great, and I loved her arm muscles!

I interrupt this Judges Blog to say that Meg is the Sweetest, Kindest, most Generous and Beautiful Sweetie ever!!!!!!
Thank you Meg, you know what for, and I absolutely LOVE it!
And shame on you guys who voted her most evil, I am WAY more evil than Meg!

Oh Pishy, you're a big meanie :)

Ladee Leroy is scaring the Survivors, according to their blog, heh heh heh...

And Yelnad, there's no way I'm telling who got booted last night, I did that once last season and SinnyMinnie about gave me a whuppin'.
And not a nice one, either.

:-) (See Sinny? I learned my lesson!)

Oh, I missed Survivor last night! I'm a bad judge. (but I did go see an excellent production of the Laramie project). Who got booted?? Did anyone switch tribes?

Oh, I don't have any Votes for Evilness. I guess nobody read my last diary entry which was a celebration of cat shit. Inflicting that on the world is -- well let's say a little touch of evil in the night. And also encouraging the players to mix it up with each other?

I just voted for IC #2. It was a tough vote. I read every entry. Then I read ALMOST every entry again. Then I read a couple of them a third time. They were superb, but I voted for the one that read with so much FLOW that rereading it a few times and still feeling that I was in the "zone" of what the person was writing...that won my vote.

I'm really going to miss (Booted TV Survivor). She was my favorite!!!
Robb really needs to go, can you even imagine him making it to the top 3??? I'm going to scream at my TV if he makes it much further.
And Erin, what is she there for except because she has those humongous knockers? Is having humongous knockers a reason to stay on the island? Maybe I need to get me some. Nah, hers are just waaaaay to big for me. I couldn't do it.
And I'd hit Jan with a coconut before I hit Clay - But Clay annoys the heck out of me too.
Kath, did you know the car salesman is also a soft porn star?
Wonder how big *his* penis is?
hehhehehehehe....
And Jonny - See? You're only #2 to KLo. Just remember, you're #1 with ME.

Mike, I'm sorry. You're #1. Jonny's #2. Can I have a \o/ back now? Please?

Meg - What was up with Jeff tonight? He gave Rob a what-for, didn't he? I mean, dude, the guy deserved it and it made me hot for Jeff. But, man...it's getting serious!!!!

And that Clay guy? How hard would it be to just smash him over the head with a coconut and float him off somewhere. Can't the car salesmen divert the attention of the camera people until his little ass is gone?

Woot, people are talking again. That deserves a \o/

And they all start talking when I get super busy again, and can't pay attention. Hrrmmm, co-inky-dink? :D

But then Pischina gives me a kiss, which confuses me some more.

And then Kit says I'm just picking up Jonny's leftovers. No more \o/ 's for Kit.

But then a whole bunch of penis talk started up, and me with a small paint program.

And then Meg talked about how no one wants her, yet, I'd already booked the flying elvis's. Elvis'. Elvi?

But then someone voted me as evil. But, that's gotta be a typo. Or some other racer96. I'm so nice. I'm just a japdevil in disguise.

And then I got lost in this conversation again. Because I keep thinking about Aztecs and Vibes.

Mike (racer96)

Oh Jonathan you are going to get SUCH a spanking when I get to LA.
Okay, so my car transmission blew up this week and I'm not driving to the grocery store much less to Los Angeles, but I am saving my money for an AMTRAK ticket so you just better watch out. You're MINE!!!! MINE MINE MINE!!!!

Everyone don't forget, TV Survivor is on tonight!!!
I wonder if Jeff Probst is going to be cranky again?

Meg, from the few pictures I've seen of you there is a slight resemblance to the girl from White Oleander but you are really way prettier. One day you'll send me a very nice picture of yourself, riiiiight?

meg, pischina, everyone else - don't fight over me, there's enough to go around, and if everyone would just keep their mouth shut, no one has to know that they're sharing anything. thankfully the two applicants i'm also seeing didn't make it in or else it would have been a real sticky situation.

i'm on day two of three days off of work. i'm building shelves to put my action figures on. oh yeah, i'm hot.

jeni - also working on CP. after a week, it's rough getting caught back up. work f'd it up, but now that i've got help, we should at least be seeing 3 episodes a week. i just need to get back on track for the big murder that was supposed to take place this week. oops. oh, and what was high school like?

leroy - people are finally seeing your true colors. good. i'm tired of acting like you're all hugs and puppy dogs.

i'm back to go be my usual sweetness and light. peace all.

Awww...I can't believe that someone placed a vote for Mike to be the most evil judge. Unless he voted for himself, which would be such a Mike-like thing to do.

I'm coming in 5th or 6th at the moment I think. When I told people to go and vote for me, I didn't expect them to. Dammit.

Hey, Leroy, you're scaring the survivors! Good job!!

Jonathan, what's up with Camden Point? Mean of you to leave us hanging like that. I thought that perhaps by posting my question in here I could shame you into updating...

Muha.

Muahah. Eh. I grow bored with this posting.

Coming in 2nd in the "Most Evil Judge" poll only encourages me to be even more blatantly honest. It also makes me want to eat some fish sticks with tartar sauce. The tartiest of tartars I can find. Continue to vote, dear pollsters. I have an affinity for such negative attention- it drives me to dislike the IC entries even more. Muhah. Muhahahahahahhahaha. Muhatartartar.

Muhaahahhahahahhahahaha. Muahahahhaahhahah. Muhahahahahahahah. Muhahahahahahahhaha. Muahahahhaahahahaha. Mwahaha.

Someone voted me most evil!
Hurray!!!!

Hey, Pischina, I did offer up the "not a very good penis drawer" disclaimer. My version doesn't do justice to the original white board version, but then again, the Artboy didn't draw that one with a mouse, and he was (is), after all, the ART boy...

And Kathy, I guess it's all about proportion.

And by the way, I think Jonathan is really my high school boyfriend in disguise.

Oh, of course, I really came in here to marvel at the IC entries. My, my, my--you guys certainly worked hard and produced some fabulous stuff! I've already changed my vote! I wish the deadline would hurry up and come so that I wouldn't have to suffer the turmoil...

And I want to thank whoever cast a vote for me as "most evil judge." It was the penis drawing and the propositioning Mike despite the marriage, wasn't it?

K. Lo, say it ain't so. I grossed you out? Let me go cry in a corner now. ha.
Since you can only vote once on those polls, I considered voting for myself, then chose TvZero instead - because he is evil. He seduces all the dland chicks. So, who the hell placed a vote for me? Me, evil? Let me cry more. Am I evil judges? Well, you know my idol is Jeff Probst.

Pischina, why do you refuse to share Jonny? Meanie! No one wants me. *sobs* waaaaah. Someone told me that I look like the girl (daughter) from the movie "White Oleander" today, when she has her hair dyed brown. Is that a good or bad thing? I can't find any pictures to link to. So, now I have to see the movie and decide if it was a compliment or a diss.

Judges, do your job and send me more IC topics, or I will paddle you all!

i'm the most evil?? mwhahahahahahahaha. although, i actually prefer the spelling eeeeevil.

tvzero (with pinky placed in corner of the mouth).

"Keep the flirting on the blog?" Okay - that sounds kind of gross. But I'm kind of a prude, so maybe I'm wrong.

I'm sorry. I thought Jen's penis looked pretty big. And if anyone should know about penis size, it should be me.

Well I was *hoping* I could get most evil judge but I don't have one vote yet, waaaaah!!!!
What do I have to do to be considered evil around here???
;-)
And Meg I told ya I'd share Genghis with you. Not Jonny though, he's mine from way back.
Mine Mine Mine Mine....

I agree, the contestants kicked ass on IC#2. Now how could anyone say LadeeLeroy is evil after she gave us such a fun topic?

How do you like the new poll? Thanks to Telutci for creating it.
And I say keep the flirting on the blog. Pischina, stop stealing my men though! I'm going to vote you as most evil judge if you don't back off.

Wow, those IC's all certainly had a LOT of thought and work put into them. I won't say who I voted for until the results are posted, but I hard a hard time choosing between four of them, and I may even change my vote later.
They were all outstanding though.

Hmmm... I was expecting a much bigger penis drawing after reading KLo's post about it.
I guess us DS2 Survivors had much larger sights on *our* island...

And I can see this blog going right down the toilet.

Ummm... How about that World Series?

Here we go again. Jonny flirting, Mike picking up the women Jonny tosses aside once he's through with them. Do you see why we had so much trouble in DS3?

And now there's Jenistar, obviously getting into the thick of all this flirting...she's drawing penises in her diary!

(But oh my...did you see the size of it?)

I can't take it anymore. I'm just a simple, middle-aged, married woman from the suburbs in the midwest. I think my yard was a farm field, not too long ago. All this Peyton Place talking (and drawing) is too much for me!!! I need to go to church or something and pray the sin off. For shame!!!

This message brought to you by a woman avoiding dinner preparation.

*kiss* *kiss* for Mike.
We're still here! Just busy reading all the ICs.

Erm, sorry, when I said that it made the game become kind of petty and stupid, I meant that *for me* it became. Now, please, everyone come back. I didn't mean to scare you all away. Honest.

Mike (racer96)

Jonny,
I get contestants mixed up sometimes. But, I just keep reading and rereading till I figure it all out, or until my brain runs away. (Come back!)

Jen,
In that case, my bungalo or yours?

Kit,
I've been looking at Meg since the beginning. ;)

Pischina,
I agree on Gingerbug, wheeooot. And who said I wasn't trying to kiss you?

Throcky,
You tried to get me to be in an anti-alliance as well. :P Have you forgotten me already? :D

Jonny,
I disagree on the covert stuff. That made the game become kinda petty and stupid. Besides, you even said that you wanted me gone because I was making the game no fun for you. :P

Kit,
Cat fights are ok, so long as no one starts crying. Crying women slay me. I have no clue what to do, and feel totally and completely helpless. Hair pulling and clothes tearing is all good though. :D

Everyone,
Sorry I responded individually like that, I didn't know how to do it, and have it make any sense.

Everyone (again),
It still didn't make sense. Oh well. :D

Mike (racer96)

Oh I'm so glad "Punch Drunk Love" has the approval by TVZ! I was hoping it would be good!

As for the Ghandia episode, I don't think any of the shows this season has been too full of great drama, so if you're busy, don't bother, you haven't missed much. This season does have the makings of some great drama as it goes on though, those Survivors are WAAAY cranky!!!

Well I for one am happy that Diary Survivor 4 is fully under way. I can't wait to read the next IC entries.

I missed last week's Survivor (I was learning how much of a shit my 13-year-old was being at school) and I totally forgot to find out who was ousted. Ghandia, huh? Thank God. What a drama queen!

So now Jonny is starting some trouble amongst the judges...flirting with them all and making them all fight? Sweet. Chick fights. Just what he wants!!! (And don't you look all shocked, Mike, I'm sure you'd love a good cat fight yourself!)

Throcky - what are we going to do to shake that Writers Block of yours?!! I miss reading your journal!!!!

"punch-drunk love" worked out well for me this weekend. that's the one that comes to mind as far as date movies. and remember, i'm jaded and bitter, so the usual typical romance (a la "sweet home alabama") doesn't usually affect me.

tv survivor - i haven't watched yet. i knew ghandia was gone - my question is, is it worth going back to tape or should i just take the loss. am i missing anything really cool?

You look pretty cute yourself Jonny, now come on over here and tell me about the newest sexiest date movie that will have all us girls turning to mush in your arms at the movie theater.

And is anyone else who watches TV Survivor glad Ghandia's gone? There will be less drama now, but wow was she irritating.

believe me, no one was flapping leroy. and my blood pressure was raised by one miss throcky. it's tough being outsmarted. and i have to say, were it not for the covert stuff, the game wouldn't have been nearly as fun. although i must say i am now picturing you as momma spy on Alias, throcky. you're way too classy and sophisticated and a mite dastardly for just sydney.

pischina, meg, and all the other girls i'm currently flirting with (k-lo, babe, we need to talk), i'll try and keep it out of the blog. but i'm not promising anything.

you look cute today, by the way.

jonny (aka tvzero)

Oh Jonathan, of course I'm still your woman, I just didn't want to post it here, Meg gets awfully jealous, you have no idea!
But did you know she and I are forming our own mommy/daughter stalking team and we have you tops on our list!
So beware those knocks on the door late at night....

Players----if/when you get voted off, you don't need to stop playing the game. I had a lot of fun messing with the Alliance members---I think that I succeeded in raising the blood pressure of a few of them substantially (except for the always unflappable LadeeLeroy). My biggest failure was my end-game attempt to get Laura, Jenistar, and Lampshade to form a counter-alliance. So I would advise you to mix, mess, meddle, mingle, malign to your heart's content. It's the closest I ever will come to being Sydney from "Alias" and I was good at collecting and dispersing my "intel" judiciously. My "intel" was excellent--but not everyone trusted it!
T hrocky, in mixing mode!

This Blog is a happenin' place, as they used to say somewhere at sometime in my past. I did vote for Loud Woman because she took a different approach and she did it so well. I would not vote for someone who took a different approach and could not manage to pull it off well. BUT I certainly did notice the general excellence of writing and observation and scope in the other entries. I think that all of the contestants are superb and it will be difficult to be a judge. On the other hand, I am really looking forward to reading their diary entries in addition to the ICs. Reading all of their diaries (and yes, I am keeping up with you lot of judges too!) is a wonderful way to sustain and justify my own writer's block. My diary is called "Throcky" by the way.

oh, pischy, am i no longer good enough for you? you know you'll always be my woman. i would say some other naughty things, but there are children present.

*phew*!!!
I just skimmed through the entire Contestant's Blog for the first time.

I loved this:
"Sportsmanlike Survivor Contestant's Declaration of Independence"
That whole Declaration should be up on the DSurvivor page.

Saw a picture of Gingerbug and now I'm in love...
Holey Moley!!!

And overall I'm just pleased with all the great attitudes and hope they do continue. It's not that we judges expect or *want* the contestants to fight, we just know that eventually this game does put a lot of pressure on you. Even as judges there were arguments last year. The whole alliance thing was a big deal with us too.

Each Survivor Year has been slightly different. Last year was the Alliance, in DS2 we had our Evil Stalker.
I just hope this year is fun and enjoyable for everyone.
Especially for Meg, who we all need in order for Survivor to continue.

Now I am off to poke Kinetix in hopes that he will try to bite me...
Since Judge Mike isn't trying to kiss ME....
(*sob* I feel so unwanted!!!)
;-)

Okay, enough of that fooling around Jen! You are the horniest little newlywed!!!

Mike, you look away from her. Look at Meg for awhile.

Okay now, look away.

Look again.

Look away.

I LOVE this Immunity Challenge. Leave it to the ever-creative LadeeLeroy. Many many kudos!

These guys don't seem to be as naughty as we were. Or maybe I'm just as naive this time as I was back then. Sigh, why can't I be evil on purpose? Why is my evilness only by accident?

That is all. I just wanted to say something because I finally figured out how to get back on here. I'm so proud of myself.

Mike, I don't think you should let a pesky little thing like my marriage get in the way of some serious Survivor macking! The Husband will understand, I'm sure...

I know that SOMEONE had to go. That's what makes it Survivor, not Happy Fun Time, but I was sorry (and surprised) to see it was Heather. Although I understand her parting comments. Sometimes, when your "real" life is chaotic, things like this can be distracting and good, and sometimes they can just be one more thing on the list. Regardless, Heather, I'm glad you played, even if it was just for a little while. If you hadn't applied, I may never have come across your diary!

Looking forward to reading the next collection of IC's! An excellent topic choice--wish I'd thought of it!

man, how did you guys ever do this with 16? hats off. 12 was rough.

i voted for loudwoman for no other reason than reading my mind and doing the challenge i suggested in the first place. okay, so it was done well, but really the random telepathy thing was a plus for me.

were you guys able to keep everyone straight in the contest right away last time? i'm still having trouble. the only diary i read before this was ms-m. i still haven't had that thing in my brain switch on where i can keep everyone straight. except for kinetix who has the legion of superheroes on his page. i think if i'm ever stuck, i'll just vote for the guys with the comic book stuff. (actually i was just hoping to make a cameo appearance in the contestants blog by way of "can you believeone of the judges is an ass voting on comic book characters?).

if i'm making no sense, its the complete lack of sleep. and if the contestants are curious about the dland 3 events, they should check out the tell-alls. i know mattu and i both wrote one. and i believe belinda did as well. maybe we can gather them all together and sell them at parties and stuff.

so do we talk about our favorite contestants here or on the private list?

jonny (aka tvzero)

Oh, and one more thing, to both the Judges Blog and the Contestants Blog, would people mind please adding their diaryland name to their posting name somehow, because, well, I'm such a simple minded creature, that I get easily confused and , oooohhh shiny.

\o/

Mike (racer96)

Well, the contestants were wondering what all the fighting and what not that we keep bringing up from DS3 is all about. So, here it is in a nutshell:

Some contestants formed alliances. Basically to vote in blocks, to ensure that they would be able to stay in the game longer. Some didn't. The ones in the alliance ended up making it the furthest in the game. The contestants in the alliance thought nothing wrong of it, because, to them, that was all part of playing the game. To the contestants not in the alliance, it seemed dirty, I mean, why create an alliance over something fun and creative? Well, because, for them, the alliance was fun and creative.

It all came down to a difference in opinion, really.

And yeah, I was anti-alliance. And, feel bad, because, well, I think that some people ended up being voted out, because I wouldn't join into a group. But, hey, everyone has to do what they feel comfortable with.

Yeah yeah, someone soon will end up calling me Mr. Morality Issue or something. But, even I, the moral one, got yelled at and blamed for making someone lose out on prize money and therefore would end up not being able to afford rent and would become destitute. *sigh* such is life.

So, there you go, a rather large nutshell. Perhaps A chestnut, or a large pecan.

And can you believe it. Canadian Thanksgiving, and I already have two continents beating me up. (Not even North America yet, hooray!)

And to Jenistar, I would have made out with you, but, you had that whole engagement ring thing going on. :D

Mike (Racer96)

haha...Yes! Obviously the contestants are going to be sitting pretty for a little while longer so I see no reason why we can't start a fight. Might inspire them.

So Mike, if you do not send me more Reeses Pieces before I move out of home you will be entering a world of pain.

I'm also sad to see her go, I thought she was so fab.

How about let's start a fight between judges? Hey, Mike, you stink!

Aww...I'm sad to see Heather go.

And Survivor Thailand...we're only just getting the first episode this Thursday night, that's insane. Damn Australia. Very upset to see that the Southern Hemisphere doesn't even get representation in this DS. Perhaps I was a little too much for you all last series.

Or not.
