I know there have been several unforgettable moments for me along the way. One thing I know for sure is I now have a very special place in my heart reserved for a little Kitten Swag. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">When I met Kat for the first time last Summer she made quite the impression. America saw on their big screen what I watched with my own two eyes as she practically tackled Rob and left us all laughing uncontrollably. Selfishly I loved her from the moment she picked Kim and I to hang out with them for the afternoon. I would have done just about anything to get to spend a little more time with my sister that day and she made it possible. To be honest that would have been enough for me to put Kat in the "I'll never forget you" category. But that wasn't the end of it. Kat has become one of the people that we all can't help but love. Every time we have a chance to be around her we are left smiling and looking forward to the next time our paths will cross. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And then came the icing on the cake, her unforgettable speech during the final episode of Survivor. To see the girl who so many had categorized as immature and naive deliver one of the most eloquent statements on forgiveness I have ever heard left me in tears and sealed the deal...Kat's family. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So HOORAY for family visits! Kat is here and she definitely makes everything a little more fun. I was lucky enough to get to pick her up from the airport and deliver her to the Taco Cabana grand opening where Kim was hanging out...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kim talked about trying things that are hard and Kat talked about forgiving your friends when they hurt your feelings ie voting you off the island (love that girl)...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The kids got to feel and shake a few coconuts and then they presented the girls with some books that had made them. Adorable...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kat you're precious and we couldn't love you more.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zjKuZySZHJM" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I also think this one is great (even if I can't read the subtitles :). And, just for the record, Kim is definitely <i>not</i> boring...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NZlP1JLAseI" width="420"></iframe></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last but not least I ran across this red carpet interview from the night of the finale. I was so glad that this guy brought up a moment the viewers at home didn't get to see. During one of the commercial breaks for the Live Reunion Show Richard Hatch told Jeff that he thought Kim was one of the best to ever play the game. You know I totally agree Richard but it was still pretty amazing to hear you say it!!</span><br />

With finale week finally here, that statement will be put to the test.<br />
Six Survivors remain — Kim, Alicia, Chelsea, Christina, Sabrina and Tarzan — in the quest for $1 million. The winner will be announced in a live broadcast at the end of the season. Here, a winner will be selected among the final three. But it’ll be a sandy fight to the finish.<br />
Last week’s episode saw each of the Survivors’ spirits renewed with a visit from a family member. Kimberly’s older sister, Beth, was one of seven outsiders brought in to compete in a reward challenge with their loved ones.<br />
Coach Mike Spradlin, father of Kim and Beth, said the family was excited to see two Spradlins competing on “Survivor.” He also said that if he would’ve come on the show, he and Kim would have won the challenge for sure.<br />
Instead, Kim and Beth came a close second to Kat and her cousin. I speculated that the sisters slowed their finish to avoid the same catastrophe Kim faced the week before — having to choose two other Survivors to join in the challenge. Coach Spradlin said it defies Kim’s being to not give it her all.<br />
“I am not sure it is in Kim’s nature to try and not win anything,” the coach wrote in an email to the Telegram. “If I had to guess, I am guessing they were playing to win.”<br />
The loss in the reward challenge didn’t mean much, since Kat chose Kim and Alicia to join her on the picnic with their loved ones. It was a costly move for Kat, who was targeted by the tribe for not selecting Tarzan and Christina. A blindside vote sent the young Kat to the jury, the first woman to be voted off since the tribal merge.<br />
Kim was spared from the vote for a second week after winning the immunity challenge yet again. Kim said in last week’s episode that she will win every immunity challenge from here on out if she has too.<br />
Tonight’s episode will show if she can win just enough to make it to the final three. But who should it be?<br />
Thus far, the competition has been about who gets kicked out. In a strange, and at times awkward, change of the game, Kim has started to think about who should stay in. The answer is, “Whoever is least likely to gain votes from the jury.”<br />
For Kim, this basically means only one option: keep Tarzan and Alicia in the game.<br />
“Survivor” is sustained on the deception that leads to blindside votes. For Kim, this has put her in a good position to make it to the finale, but hasn’t garnered many friends in the jury. She has led the charge to vote all the men off first and has a strong enemy in Troyzan, who was the last male to be voted off. The only recourse is to choose the people who have made the others feel worse. It’ll come down to Kim’s character, as well as how she played the game.<br />
Alicia and Tarzan are the best companions in this quest because Tarzan has rubbed pretty much everyone the wrong way since the competition began. And Alicia’s wishy-washy ties and poor attitude toward others will also come back to bite her in a jury vote.<br />
On the flip side, Sabrina, Chelsea and Christina have remained fairly diplomatic through the games. Sabrina has been opinionated, but hasn’t berated or belittled the other Survivors. Chelsea and Christina have been the most innocent in terms of playing the game. Chelsea has stuck by Kim’s side the entire game, but that doesn’t mean she’d make a good fit in the final three.<br />
Inevitably, it will come down to who can perform when they are at their weakest and when it really counts.<br />
Here’s a look at what Coach Spradlin had to say about last week’s episode and Kim’s chances for the future.<br />
<b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Wow. Now you’ve had not one, but two daughters compete on “Survivor.” What was the reaction to seeing Beth compete with her sister?</b><br />
We were real excited that Beth was able to be on “Survivor.” She, as well as Kim, loves the show. I must admit, seeing her next to Kim really accentuated the amount of weight Kim lost. I knew she was getting real thin, but seeing them side by side was tough.<br />
<b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Clearly the tribe was upset about Kat’s choices for the reward challenge. Do you agree that others should have sacrificed the reward to Christina and Tarzan?</b><br />
You know, that’s a tough one. I definitely think it was the more strategic move for Kat. At the same time, when you are on day 31, hungry and sleep deprived, it’s easy to go with your emotions.<br />
<b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Was there a mini-Survivor competition in the family to decide who would go visit Kim on the show? How do you think you would have fared in the challenge had you been there?</b><br />
It would have been fun to go, but honestly as a dad, I really wanted Beth to be able to go. They are the two biggest fans of the show in the family. I wanted Beth to be able to experience it. I think most parents would feel that way. If I would have gone, we would have won it!<br />
<b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kat was blindsided big-time at tribal council. Do you think Kim has what it takes to “win every immunity challenge from here on out,” like she said in last week’s episode?</b><br />
I have no doubt Kim has what it takes to win. It’s been a fun ride so far, here’s hoping she can keep things going her way. </span>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761375271777584479noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038720292114598670.post-68731525333923046982012-05-07T20:26:00.000-07:002012-05-07T20:26:06.512-07:00Isn't she lovely...<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Photos of our favorite Survivor by the fabulous <a href="http://www.urthstudio.com/">Kristin Light</a>...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's the last week of Survivor around here and we are buzzing with excitement!! Happy Monday!</span>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761375271777584479noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038720292114598670.post-44063745708236428532012-05-03T15:19:00.000-07:002012-05-03T15:19:01.738-07:00Pinch Me<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I may have mentioned a few (or fifty) times over the past few months that I've always been a big fan of Survivor. It has been a completely surreal experience to watch Kim compete and strategize with the best of them. Every Wednesday has become something we look forward to and get excited about (Kim and Carter matching and pumped up for Survivor)...</span><br />

There are the sights, smells and sounds to intensify your experience not to mention all the emotion that leads up to it. I hadn't seen my sister in 30+ days and to say that she had a changed just a little would be the understatement of the year! I had one thing on my mind and that was giving this chick a big hug...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I had no idea what to expect (really). I didn't know if I'd see her for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. I didn't know I would be competing in a challenge with her until the moment Jeff said, "And you'll be attached to your loved one." Ahhhhh!! Momentary freak out! Luckily I got just a little bit of the competitive gene Kim has been showing off nicely and we were able to give a couple of youngsters a run for their money...</span><br />

Seriously, just give her the damn money. Put it in a brown paper bag, or stuff it into the belly of that random pig that strolled into camp, or have Penn Jillette call the Blue Man Group and make them deliver it via an inflating balloon that pops dollar bills all over the beach. I don’t care. But you may as well hand the cash over to Kim Spradlin right now.

However, will that come back to haunt Kim the same way it haunted Coach last season when he was finally forced to turn on people? It may, but there is no doubt Kim is playing head and shoulders above everyone else out there, much like Boston Rob on <span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Redemption Island</span>. Kim is not only owning the strategic and social elements of the game, but she even ruled the challenges this week as well, winning both reward and immunity.</span></i></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The problem with Kim’s domination, much like Rob’s, is that it doesn’t make for very exciting television. We want action, activity, shake-ups — not people lining up passively in front of a proverbial guillotine waiting to have their reality TV necks sliced. If you’re like me — and I pray that you are not for <span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">so</span> many reasons — you have been ready to strangle some of those women (and Tarzan) who for the past few weeks have seemed perfectly happy to come in fourth through sixth place. Probst has been practically daring them to do something about it. No thanks, is the reply.</span></i></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So hand Kim the money already. Because while, as viewers, we always want a shake-up due to it being exciting to see someone on top fall, can you really in good conscience root for anyone else at this point? Kat? Alicia? Really? So our choice has basically boiled down to this: Root for an unworthy player to win just so we can be surprised, or root for utter predictability to guarantee that the most deserving player takes home the prize. Tough call, but I think I’ll go with the latter. I just can’t handle the thought of possibly seeing Alicia standing next to an oversized novelty check with six zeros on it. Although considering Sophie Clarke never even got her novelty check, perhaps that is now an impossibility no matter who wins. It is truly a sad day for oversized novelty check fans everywhere.</span></i></div></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761375271777584479noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038720292114598670.post-8501094427198515652012-04-25T05:54:00.000-07:002012-04-25T05:54:58.931-07:00Wednesday!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Team Kim was out in full force...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Can you say, "SURVIVOR"?!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My parents had packed their house with some of Temple's finest educators/coaches and their families...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We all gathered round and got to watch Kim take a $40 shower on National Television (now that's something you don't see everyday)...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Afterwards Kim treated us to some fresh coconut machete style...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It was a great night made even better by the fact that Kim managed to foil Troy's best laid plans to vote her out.

(Episode 10)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm <i>really </i>looking forward to tonight! Lately I feel like I'm beginning to watch my sister starve on national television. By the looks of things we have the "Survivor Auction" coming up tonight and that can only mean one thing...FOOD!!! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I know I'll be thinking one thing all day..."PLEASE LET KIM GET TO EAT TONIGHT!!" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Followed closely by this prayer:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>Dear God,</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>Please don't let Troyzan vote my sister out.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>Amen.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

When Jay put the fear of God in Kim last night I think he put it in all of us too. Whew!! That was a close one! Mad props to Kim for some exquisite game play and exceptional last minute scrambling. For a second there I was a little worried my best friend was going home (Kim and I on our quick trip this past weekend to DC)...</span><br />

TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!</span>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761375271777584479noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038720292114598670.post-68874053680070612342012-04-05T10:51:00.004-07:002012-04-05T11:05:53.606-07:00Just Annihilate Them<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's official. Each Wednesday is better than the one before! Last night's episode had us all sitting there with our mouths wide open. It's one thing to know someone is pretty good a spinning a story...it's another to watch them do it on National Television! </span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kim has a talent otherwise know as "making s*@% up!" She's been perfecting it for as long as I can remember. She loves to mess with people and the game of Survivor takes that to a totally different level. I think it was made for someone just like her and it is beyond fun to watch her play! Needless to say we weren't at all surprised when she popped up as one of the potential "Player's of the Week"...</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">We couldn't cast our votes fast enough...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lG-8an138cI/T33ZF6ej0UI/AAAAAAAAOgw/0JaAYY-IUDI/s1600/IMG_3155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lG-8an138cI/T33ZF6ej0UI/AAAAAAAAOgw/0JaAYY-IUDI/s640/IMG_3155.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hmmmm....it's a tough decision...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R2TXUoN8sv8/T33ZNyqJdGI/AAAAAAAAOg4/FenB06OZ0U4/s1600/IMG_1960.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R2TXUoN8sv8/T33ZNyqJdGI/AAAAAAAAOg4/FenB06OZ0U4/s640/IMG_1960.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But I think I'll go with KIM! If you haven't voted yet text the number "2" to 55455. When you do you'll be entered in a $10,000 give-a-way so it's a win win situation! Just in case you need a little extra convincing check out this secret scene from last night (just click on the pic)...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I know a couple of her littlest fans are hoping for some girl power tonight! When they grow up they want to have muscles just like Aunt Kim...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!</span>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14761375271777584479noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5038720292114598670.post-69744887842576104282012-03-29T07:16:00.002-07:002012-03-29T07:25:32.475-07:00The Beauty of a Merge<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This may make me sound really lame but can I just say that as an avid Survivor fan my favorite part of last night's episode was the fact that they <i>finally </i>did an intro!!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JRMRY2DkdMA/T3Row8c0V_I/AAAAAAAAObs/UA0O7fM6rIY/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.11.36+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="355" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JRMRY2DkdMA/T3Row8c0V_I/AAAAAAAAObs/UA0O7fM6rIY/s640/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.11.36+AM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">From the moment I found out my sister was going to be on Survivor I have looked forward to seeing her in those opening credits...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gGjcvsOPYsU/T3Ro9ewZPJI/AAAAAAAAOb0/IUt26i3gvkk/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.08.15+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="355" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gGjcvsOPYsU/T3Ro9ewZPJI/AAAAAAAAOb0/IUt26i3gvkk/s640/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.08.15+AM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's like a Survivor rite of passage or something (that may be a little dramatic, but I think it's pretty darn cool)...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_GJAT9jC7RI/T3RpK2bjqRI/AAAAAAAAOb8/-397icBBWxw/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.11.05+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="355" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_GJAT9jC7RI/T3RpK2bjqRI/AAAAAAAAOb8/-397icBBWxw/s640/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.11.05+AM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I can also say that from the moment I found out Kim was going to be on Survivor I had full confidence that she would play the game well. She is one of my favorite people (so of course I'm biased) but I also knew from being close to her that she is born to play this game. So far I think she is practically flawless in her strategy. Some peeps are actually calling her "The Godmother" (pretty awesome huh?!)... </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OQ7u3PzKRio/T3RvkTT6PiI/AAAAAAAAOcs/tKc_8lVy5hg/s1600/563746_3242889383425_1002556131_33050608_653533207_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OQ7u3PzKRio/T3RvkTT6PiI/AAAAAAAAOcs/tKc_8lVy5hg/s640/563746_3242889383425_1002556131_33050608_653533207_n.jpg" width="546" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It almost seems to good to be true. I can only hope that the words blindside and Kim never find themselves in the same sentence!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C3XqzFnvW28/T3RqNHrRS8I/AAAAAAAAOcE/0t2JAJGsRLE/s1600/s24_ep7_press_images_002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-C3XqzFnvW28/T3RqNHrRS8I/AAAAAAAAOcE/0t2JAJGsRLE/s640/s24_ep7_press_images_002.jpg" width="426" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I also hope her homemade black shorts never find themselves in the same pot with Tarzan's "poopy pants"! My gosh. I'm fairly certain that I have </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>never </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">laughed as hard at a Survivor episode...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ctBTimS17Ao/T3Rq0Wiel1I/AAAAAAAAOcM/g_s8lcpIaw0/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.28.29+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="355" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ctBTimS17Ao/T3Rq0Wiel1I/AAAAAAAAOcM/g_s8lcpIaw0/s640/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.28.29+AM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sure Tarzan...we all believe you. There is so much chocolate just floating around on the island. I'm sure some just magically made it's way into the crotch of your really cool speedo's...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilZkG5iAHMg/T3RrOTzhn4I/AAAAAAAAOcU/Ash2ra9oD7s/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.28.53+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="353" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilZkG5iAHMg/T3RrOTzhn4I/AAAAAAAAOcU/Ash2ra9oD7s/s640/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.28.53+AM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Oh, so it's dirt now?! I'm with Chelsea and I'm totally not buying it. Let's just say as a mother of two I am not a big fan of "poopy pants". I don't care how hot the water is or how dead the microbes are I still wouldn't want them in my pot! Best. Look. Ever.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B4NBtl8Dscs/T3Rreqs7tsI/AAAAAAAAOcc/z62yf4V4QLs/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.29.24+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="404" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B4NBtl8Dscs/T3Rreqs7tsI/AAAAAAAAOcc/z62yf4V4QLs/s640/Screen+shot+2012-03-29+at+8.29.24+AM.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Maybe one of my all time favorite Survivor scenes! So happy that Kim lives on in the land of Survivor for another week (Yep, there she is just hanging out behind Jeff Probst)...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FfBDTuGes6o/T3RsNqDHOMI/AAAAAAAAOck/graKlYuF8QM/s1600/s24_ep7_press_images_001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FfBDTuGes6o/T3RsNqDHOMI/AAAAAAAAOck/graKlYuF8QM/s640/s24_ep7_press_images_001.jpg" width="425" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">By the way in case you missed it the title for this weeks episode was Kim's clever quote from tribal council, "That's the beauty of a merge Jeff (with a twinkle in her eye)."
