Jerri Manthey: Again?? Yes, Jerri is well known for her villainous act of lying about some guy having a granola bar in his backpack and consequently having him voted off, but what else has she really done? She has already played in two seasons (Australia and All Stars), and it seems pretty unnecessary to have her back again. I think the only purpose is to have the Jerri/Colby plot line again, but let's hope they don't waste too much time on that one.
Tyson Apostol: He appeared on the Tocantins season, and that's all I can say about that.
Randy Bailey: Again, another supposed villain I know nothing about. He was on the Gabon season. Fill me in if you think he's deserving of his spot on this tribe.
Danielle DiLorenzo: Danielle and her breasts that double as life preservers was the runner up on Survivor: Panama. Other than her way-too-symmetrical-to-be-real chest, I remember she was extremely annoying and I didn't even want to watch the finale because I couldn't care less if she or Aras won the grand prize. How she fell into the Villains category remains to be seen.
Russell Hantz: I didn't watch him last season, but I hope he sticks around long enough to live up to the hype that surrounds him as the most evil Survivor player of all time.
Boston Rob Mariano: Yes, he was a schmuck for proposing to Amber on the season finale of All Stars, but he is definitely up there with Jonny Fairplay as one of the biggest Survivor villains of all time. I'll become a hypocrite and not be annoyed that he's already played this game twice just because I hope he'll be so entertaining to watch. I also hope he and Amber are still together. Anyone know the answer to that?
Parvati Shallow: This girl literally makes me sick. Again, I say? Parvati has done nothing but flirt her way to the top for way more than her deserved number of days on the island in the past, and bringing her back again just seems pointless. She is a reality-TV whore and will never make anything of herself without her appearances on these shows, much like the casts of MTV challenge shows, so I'm really hoping she'll be kicked off at the beginning of the season. I also just can't stand to hear Jeff mispronounce her name for another thirteen episodes.
Sandra Diaz-Twine: Sandra was funny during her run on the Pearl Islands, I'll give her that. I think she also may have spied on people in the bushes and maybe done a bit of backstabbing, but a villain? Not really. She definitely wasn't villainous enough to deter the jury from giving her a million dollars. Her appearance this season could go either way for me.
Benjamin Wade, aka Coach: I've heard this name thrown around quite a bit in the Survivor world, but I can't say I know much about him. He appeared on Survivor Brazil, and I already like him better than Parvati!
Courtney Yates: Survivor: Heroes vs. Bitches would be a better title for a season in which Courtney is included. She is still just as disgustingly skinny as she was on Survivor: China and probably just as bitchy, if not more.
So, there you have it,-- the cast of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Will you be watching when it premieres on February 11th?

Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
I haven't watched a full season of Survivor since Fans vs. Favorites. I stuck with it from Season 2 up to that point, but I just couldn't commit myself to an hour of television every week that was basically the same every season. However, when I heard they were doing a Heroes vs. Villains season, I knew I might have to watch. They finally revealed the cast, and I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with who they're bringing back. Some of the people have played the game three times already! Here are the cast members, along with my thoughts on them.
Heroes:
-Colby Donaldson - appeared on Season 2, The Australian Outback, and Survivor All Stars, as well as a few Gillette commercials, I do believe. Colby was kicked out relatively early in All Stars, so even though this is his third time on the show, I feel like I wouldn't mind seeing more of him this season.
-Rupert Boneham - appeared on Pearl Islands and All Stars. Rupert won $1 million for being America's favorite back when he was on the All Star season, but I think I read that he burned through it pretty quickly, so I'm not surprised to see him back. I'm also not surprised to see that he doesn't appear to have shaved or showered since then, though he has lost some weight.
J.T. Thomas Jr. - never heard of him. Apparently he was on Survivor: Tocantins and won. I honestly don't like the idea of previous winners being allowed back. They'll be voted off almost immediately for the pure fact that they've won, and if they've made it to the end of the show once, haven't we seen enough of them already?
James Clement, aka the Grave Digger - James is about the size of a Monster Truck and as dumb as one, too. This will be his third run at the Sole Survivor title. What I remember most about him is having to read way too many subtitles while watching because of never being able to understand what he is saying.
Tom Westman - Tom was the All-American fireman on the Palau season, and he breaks my rule of not having any previous winners back for a second round. The only thing he has going for him, in my opinion, is that this is only his second time on the show, so I won't mind seeing him in the spotlight again.
Cirie Fields - Cirie is hilarious - no doubt about it. She always has something witty to say in her confessionals, but this is her third time on Survivor. If she whines and complains about dirt and bugs this time, I might reach through the television and strangle her.
Stephenie LaGrossa - Stephenie was amazing during her run on the Palau season, but her novelty wore off when she made it to the runner-up position in the next season in Guatemala. She's already had her second chance at the million. Maybe third time's a charm for her, but I would have rather seen her spot filled with someone with a less annoying accent.
Jessica Kiper - known as Sugar, Jessica appeared on the Gabon season, and I know nothing about her other than I think she cried a lot. Doesn't sound very heroic to me.
Amanda Kimmel - If there's any one person they could have chosen for this season that would have made me NOT want to watch it, it's Amanda. Not only is she pathetic and boring, but she's been to the final Tribal Council TWICE (in China and Micronesia) and could not pull off a win. See what I mean? Pathetic. And if she latches onto another guy this season and he professes his love for her at the jury's questioning, I think I might puke in an envelope and mail it to her as my way of saying thanks.
Candice Woodcock - I really don't remember much about Candice from her season in Cook Islands. The only thing I vaguely remember is when she boldly decided to switch tribes and was upset when Jonathan Penner (who I like much, much better than her) followed suit. She seems like a "uh-oh, no one else will participate" kind of choice rather than a true hero of Survivor's past 19 season.
That about sums up the heroes. Stay tuned for a post on the Villains since this one is getting a bit long.

I Laugh at Weird Things
I've been told I have a weird sense of humor, but I have to say, I keep myself pretty entertained. Here's a dialogue I just had with Guy that made me laugh. See if it strikes your fancy the same way it struck mine!
Me: Was that your phone getting text messages?
Guy: When?
Me: I dunno, a while ago.
Guy: Probably. I got two texts a little while ago.
Me: Who dey from?
Guy: My brother.
Me: What'd he want?
Guy: He wanted to know the name of the fat band leader from...Bethel Park.
The end. I don't know why that made me laugh, but it did.

Crazy Clairton People
So, you may have seen my status yesterday about my bad experience with Freecycle in Clairton. Here's what happened:
I'm collecting garage sale items for a charity sale at work, and I posted a wanted ad on Freecycle. I got a response from a woman in Clairton saying she had several boxes of "knock knacks" from flea markets. I should have known right then that she was nuts. However, I'm not one to turn down a generous offer, so I set up a pickup time and got her address.
Yesterday was the day of pickup, and I had another stop to make in Imperial, where I actually received a large amount of clean, quality items. I was happily making my way into the bowels of Jefferson Hills when Gladys (the GPS I borrowed from my mom) told me I had arrived at my destination. I look to see a small, run-down house with a fenced-in yard overflowing with plastic children's toys. I'm talking pools, playhouses - you name it. I didn't see any boxes, so I went down a small alley of sorts to the back of her house. Sitting there were about 10 boxes of items, and I knew I was in trouble from just the sight of it. A rusty water cooler, an old stained pair of black pants, and a box full of dirty miniature tea sets was all I could distinguish from the masses. My car was already pretty full from my first stop, so I decided to take a few boxes of her items, just because I said I would, even though I knew I'd probably have to get rid of them at home or at least scour my body with bleach and pumice stones after coming in contact with them. I briefly rummaged around to figure out what I could possibly salvage and also what I could fit in my car. After loading in three boxes and a bag, I went on my merry way, intending to e-mail this woman when I got home, thank her for her donations, and make up some excuse about not being able to return for the rest of the items. In my defense, this was a 45-minute drive for a ton of junk that really belongs in a dump rather than on a flea market table.
So, I get home an hour or so later, after making a pit stop at Giant Eagle on the way, and I open my mailbox to compose my apology letter when what do I see? Hmm...an e-mail entitled "garage sale items" written by Nikki Morsaint, junk provider herself. Here is the exact text of the e-mail:
you know, I went through a lot of trouble to get things ready for you. I took several hours away from my kids in order to have it ready for you, and then you don't even take it. Not only that, but you don't have thew decentcy to knock on my door and tell my to lug it all back downstairs again, let alone bother to help. I am so glad I could be of help to your fundraiser." (typos were all hers)
I was shocked. Is this woman seriously yelling at me for not taking her ten piles of crap? Is she a quadrapelegic? How could it have possibly taken her HOURS to haphazardly dump a bunch of old junk in boxes and toss them on her lawn? And in what world am I going to knock on somebody's door that I've never met, in a bad neighborhood, and offer to help her "lug" her 3-pound cardboard boxes back inside? In hindsight, it would have been better for me to ignore her entirely, but I have a hot temper when it comes to being insulted through e-mail, so I wrote her back and explained that she only told me she had "several" boxes and I didn't have room in my car. I said I was actually going to thank her, but so much for that idea. Needless to say, we had an e-mail fight for a sequence of about 5 back-and-forths, where she proceeded to say that I was a liar, I only took the "new" items, and she took off work for the day in order to get things ready for me. By the end of all of this, I was fuming. Her comments were not only absurd, but verging on insanity. Our e-mail rants eventually ended, but I did get a little comfort from the moderator of Freecycle who told me that this woman was off-base and had no right to complain that I could not take 10 boxes of stuff when she only claimed to have a few.
Eventually I got over this little tiff and moved on with my life...until...I saw THIS post on craigslist today:
I took the time to go through all of my items for this woman that was so in need of these items for a fundraiser. It turns out she only took the box of new stuff, so she actually did not want flea market items, she wanted new stuff. It is unfortunate that other people use fundraisers as a means to get new things. Anyways I now have 8 boxes of flea items with no where to put them. They are ready to go, email for address.
ARE YOU SERIOUS, WOMAN??? I would really like to organize some kind of campaign against her, like where lots of people respond to her ad for the items and then either don't show up, show up and only take one or two boxes, or show up and add MORE boxes of junk to her piles. However, that's my vengeful side talking. All I did was send her a response to her craigslist ad, asking why she's still saying rude and untrue things. She probably won't respond, and tomorrow this will all be under the bridge, but for now, please leave a comment to commiserate/sympathize. It'd make me feel better.

Emmy Blooper
While listening to the Emmys for best TV miniseries in the other room, I was looking at photos of celebrities on the red carpet. Look what an error I came across! I know actors probably hate it when fans call them by their characters' names, but they must hate it even more when even the media gets it wrong!
Can you make it out?

Funny People
Just another funny thing Guy said that I felt like I wanted to post here.
I was trying to plan a week-long promotion at work revolving around the number 2. I wanted to do a sale or bargain each day like "20% off," "buy 2, get one free," etc. I ran out of variations on the number 2, so I was asking Guy for help. I said I could do "double" something, and he helpfully suggested that maybe everyone could pay double that day to come to day care. Not quite the promotional deal. There was a long silence, and I asked him why he wasn't suggesting anything else, and he just said, "I don't know. All I can think of is "double chicken."
Of course it makes no sense, but it made me laugh.
