If you have been asking “Who Wins Survivor Samoa?” Well, its official, Natalie has won the latest edition of Survivor!

Personally I think Russell, the player everyone loves to hate, should have won. But what do you think? Who did you want to win?

Russell did play a very strategic game, and while many may think he may be evil, its a game, and you have to do what you have to do.

I don’t think Natalie played a bad game, I think sticking under the radar is a good strategy and she does in fact deserve the money, but I think Russell might be the smartest player to play Survivor and not win.

If you hate Russell, or if you love him, you have to admit that he made Survivor Samoa very exciting and fun to watch.

The whole Prop 8 vote etc is long since old news, but I had not seen this video before yesterday and thought I would share it. I have to say I agree with just about everything Keith Olbermann says.

I see no problem at all with allowing same sex couples to marry – trying to prevent this, and take away their rights is a joke. What difference does it make to me, or any other straight couple out there if two women, or two men decide to get married? None. It does not impact my life one bit in any way shape or form.  I am certain that in my life time this is something that we will look back at and wonder why it was ever disallowed, just like inter-racial marriages – its hard to believe that a black person could not marry a white person only 40 some-odd years ago.

Lets move in the right direction and give everyone the same rights once and for all.

This video is kind of old, dates back to 2008, but I saw it for the first time today and found it worth sharing. Funny stuff If you are a fan of the Office (UK or US versions) you will get a kick out of this:

Kanye West was on the premier of Jay Leno tonight, and the interview was not quite what I expected. While Kanye was relatively quiet and didn’t say much he did sound genuinely sincere about feeling bad for what he had done at the VMA’s last night.

I have a feeling that the entire thing is a well orchestrated publicity stunt for ratings for Leno, and extra exposure for Kanye, but who knows.

As far as I am concerned when he interrupted Taylor Swifts acceptance speech last night it was entirely unacceptable, and this small apology is just not good enough.

I have to say I do watch my fair share of reality television. I am not a true Survivor fan, I miss it now and then, but for the most part I do tend to watch this show, and enjoy it. As for most of the others out there, I can do without them, the Bachelor can go away, I can’t stand it. When my wife has Americas Next Top Model on, I leave the room I dislike it so much. The only reality show that I do try to watch each and every week is the Amazing Race, My wife got me into this one, and now I can’t miss it.

My wife is also into the Biggest Loser. This is one of those shows that I don’t mind watching, but would never turn it on if it was just me alone with the TV. I watch it because my wife likes it and I don’t mind it, but it is not something I would choose. The problem with most reality shows, especially with the Biggest Loser, is the recaps they do after each and every commercial. Why do they feel it is necessary to recap everything that happened right before the commercial break, including a full repeat of at least a minute of the show! Hello, I JUST watched this. Why must they repeat themselves, why all the filler? Sooooo annoying.

Really the only part of the biggest loser that I find interesting is the final weigh-in at the end of each show. I am truly amazed at the amount of weight these people can lose in such a short time, it really is incredible. Last night, before revealing the weight of the final contestant, the show was “to be continued”. Give me a break – the show was already 2 hours long, and now you have to wrap it till next week?? Why not just cut some of the filler! Its things like this that make me want to boycott the show.

There seem to be more and more of these reality shows popping up, and then the networks go and cancel well written shows like “Life on Mars”, but that’s another blog post all together.

In case you missed it, as I did, below is the opening for the 2009 Oscars – Hugh Jackman did a great job, quite entertaining.

Be sure to watch this soon, as I wouldn’t be surprised if it was removed from YouTube for Copyright Infringement rather soon – but you never know.

So we are sitting here watching American Idol, and we realized something – Ryan Secrest is super short. But how tall is he? He “claims” to be 5’9, but we think thats a load of bull – SO, how tall do you think he is? Take my poll and tell me what you think? (As for the 1’11″, I got that figure from a response that some put over at Yahoo Answers claiming that he Seacrest is a leprechaun – he may be right, so I included it here

I dont watch Letterman much, and actually missed this interview last night, but my friend Ross sent me a link to the video from the Joaquin Phoenix segment last night.

I have to say, this is hilarious, and very, very sad at the same time. I have to suspect that he got high on something before walking out on stage.  The clip really speaks for itself. If you are a big Joaquin Phoenix fan, you may find this clip frustrating – although, I suppose it could be an act just for publicity reasons – who knows these days.

Here’s the clip of Joaquin the Hip-Hop Uni-Bomber.

What is this world coming to? I have to say that I simply do not understand.

A keyboard featuring the Klingon alphabet has gone on sale for £43.99 for all those die-hard star trek fans out there. The fake language was originally created back in 1984 for the Star Trek series and since then thousands of learnt to write and speak the strange non-existent language.

I have never been a Star Trek fan, so I just don’t get it, but if you are one, you may be interested in ordering this bizarre product. It has been made available here. It is available only with a PS2 connection – strange, USB has been around forever

When you are eating dinner and the phone rings, do you answer it? I know some people that don’t, but I for some reason, do – and in most cases will talk with the person, at least briefly, interrupting my dinner. The telephone interrupts my favorite TV programs, family time, work hours, and sleep. – it’s really a nuisance.

Sure I could unplug it, or turn off the ringer – but then how would people call me? I am learning to hate this device, but the reliance on it, and all technology has me hooked. I can’t even leave home without my cell phone – what if something happens, I have to have my phone with me. I hardly ever use our cell, but yet it follows me everywhere. What’s going on with this world? It’s almost like the telephone is a virus we can’t escape. When it rings I think, “Ah crap, who is it now.”

I am constantly checking my email, and spend probably half my life sitting in front of a computer or television. Sure I work on the computer, so that’s an easy 8 hours a day – but why must I watch TV, or use my laptop during my free time. I am sure that all this technology is causing mass tumors to grow in my brain.

My favorite part of vacations is that we often go to places without telephones. We’ll hit up Pacific Village in Tofino once a year – beach front cabins without TV’s, radios, or telephones. I leave my cell turned off, and watch in the car. Complete isolation from technology. Those vacations are the best times of my life. No email, no phone calls, no commercials telling me I need to call Sam. (That lawyer guy in Michigan – you know the jingle: “You can talk to Sam. 1-800-call Sam”. Grrr. Go away Sam Bernstein.).

Sometimes I wish I could go back in time to a land before all this dependence on technology – but then how would I watch Judge Judy?
