Survivor China: Ride the Workhorse 'til the Tail Falls Off

Great chopsticks of fire - Survivor China reward challenge
(S15E04) "Flavor has never tasted so good. This is the delicatist thing I've ever put in my mouth." - Denise

Hmm ... I believe she was going for a variation of delicacy, but who knows? Unlike some of the castaways, I find this season of Survivor China is stepping up more each week. That is, despite the slaughter of the English language at times, it is.

danny bonaduce; jonny fairplayWell, Danny Bonaduce didn't get away with it after all. He's being sued by Survivor pipsqueak Jon Dalton (a.k.a. Jonny Fairplay) for "battery and infliction of emotional distress".

You've probably seen the video by now (if not, it's after the jump). Jonny Fairplay and Bonaduce were on the stage together during some reality awards show for FOX when Fairplay jumped on Bonaduce and dry humped him.

Right before the magicLast week, I told you all about the glorious incident in which Danny Bonaduce gave Jon "Fairplay" Dalton a heaping serving of whip ass. Dalton asserted that he was going to press charges after the incident and followed up on the threat, giving Bonaduce one more trip in a squad car to tell his grandchildren about.

Well, as we all predicted the charges have been dropped.

Omarosa on VH1's Surreal Life 5, Dirty Laundry EpisodeSo, I was going to do a list about the most villainous women of reality TV but then I thought...wouldn't a list of bad-ass women be way more interesting? Being bad is overrated (almost as overrated as being good). But being bad-ass, now that's a tricky balancing act, one that is way more intriguing.

This list therefore is dedicated to the women of reality TV that make being bad look oh so good. And no, Omarosa Stallworth-whatever is NOT on the list. I'll explain why after the jump.

Survivor China: I Lost Two Hands and Possibly a Shoulder!

Wet and wild Rewards Challenge on Survivor China
(S15E03) Well, tonight's Survivor China certainly wasn't an exception to the rule. What rule, you might ask? I'm talking about the rule which necessitates either wet or muddy very physical challenges in direct correlation to the amount of clothing available to the female contestants. Throw in a chunky naked guy and call it a show!

Now, I'm just not being fair here. There was more to the show than that. But, for the love of all things good and decent, get Sherea (in particular) some clothes, CBS! Please, I'm begging here. I do not want to see what that woman's panties and bra will look like as time goes on. That's the stuff of nightmares!

Danny Bonaduce does what we've all wanted to do - VIDEO

The very dangerous Danny BonaduceOn Tuesday night Danny Bonaduce made an unscheduled appearance at the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards. While the show is supposedly an awards show it's really just an excuse to trot out reality stars and help promote Fox Reality's schedule.

At one point Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton, best known for his unscrupulous gameplay on Survivor, came onstage and was immediately booed. With a smile on his face, Dalton asked the audience, "Are you guys really booing?" In what must have been an attempt to clear up Dalton's confusion, Danny Bonaduce wandered onstage and informed Dalton and everyone else there, "They're booing 'cause the hate you."

Top seven extenders of reality TV fame

Colleen Haskell on Survivor: BorneoColleen Haskell from Survivor BorneoHere are seven people who used their reality TV notoriety to their advantage. They have found success in other TV genres, film, or entrepreneurial pursuits. Some just found more fame in the genre that put them on thee map.

7. Colleen Haskell (Survivor): Colleen was in the first season of Survivor (Borneo) and while she didn't outwit, outplay and outlast the other cast members, she did make a good run of her fifteen minutes. She finished sixth in her season but was such a genuine and fair player that when her torch was extinguished Richard Hatch called her a "wonderful person." Using her American-apple-pie-pretty-girl-next-door appearance and attitude, she parlayed her reality TV fame into more roles in both television and film. She did a Blistex commercial and had a guest spot on That 70's Show. Most notably, however, she starred alongside Rob Schneider in The Animal (2001). Pretty good for a Catholic school girl from a small town in Maryland.

The latest Survivor China spoilers

Survivor 15 - ChinaSpoilers, rumors, and foilers, oh my! With the internet at the hands of fans, secrets aren't always too secret these days. While scripted shows like Lost might possibly put out their own foilers -- red herrings to lead the audiences astray -- often the spoilers for shows such as Survivor or The Amazing Race are more spot on. In the case of the latter, too many people see the bits and pieces of the race as it goes through the countries.

This season's Survivor China actually inadvertently put out some of the first spoilers right in their own promotional videos on the official website. Maybe it wasn't so inadvertently, but you don't film in the challenge-making offices with information which can be enlarged and sharpened. Heh. There are websites like Survivor Fever and Survivor Skills who have a track record for accurate spoilers, as well as online wagering websites who have shut down betting due to odd patterns. Read on for severe show spoilers ...

Survivor China: My Mom Is Going to Kill Me!

Why did I want to be on Survivor again?
(S15E02) Oh, sure ... it looks sweet and innocent, doesn't it? But it looks like we're in for a season of rough and tumble challenges, lots of mud, and even more blurred spots covering body areas not normally seen on network television. Oh, my.

Heck, the line they used for the title of the episode is all because of those um ... blurred areas. But, I promise you -- the loyal Survivor China TV Squad readers -- there will be no nudity in this review! Wait! Where are you all going? You didn't just come here for the nudity, did you? Did you?

Seven notable villains of reality television

Had this been an actual image ...It's no secret that I'm a fan of the reality television genre. I think why I'm enamored with reality television on the whole is because I'm a people-watcher type of person. Sort of like Sylar on Heroes, I like to see what makes people tick. And what better television medium is there to watch them tick, scheme, plan, and more than the reality genre?

For me, the villains come in two categories -- the few whose appearances on the shows I've just outright loved because they were thoroughly entertaining even though devious and sneaky, then the ones who irked me to no end and I wanted them to go away.

I don't watch every show out there, but here are my sinister seven of reality television. After all, Spider-Man had his Sinister Six ... I want seven!

Survivor logoDid you watch Survivor: China last night?

The season premiere of the CBS reality show got a 4.9 rating among adults 18 to 49 (the juicy demographic the networks love). Even though it was the highest rated show last night, it was down 25% from the "Cook Islands" season and down 14% from the "Fiji" season.

Survivor China: A Chicken's a Little Bit Smarter (season premiere)

Filed under: OpEd, Survivor, Episode Reviews

Survivor China(S15E01) I think it might take me a bit longer to warm up to this latest season of Survivor. Don't get me wrong -- I am indeed an addict. But I miss the days of the two-hour premiere. When it's all over and the first boot is at the end of an hour, I feel strangely unfulfilled.

Oh, I'm entertained. I definitely see some interesting possibilities coming from the China setting and the castaways themselves. But, after tonight's episode, I have some reservations, too.

Survivor 15 - ChinaOkay, I'm the kind of person who likes to take a quick peek at the end of a novel as I'm reading it. For some reason it doesn't seem to spoil the journey along the way for me. Perhaps I'm impatient; perhaps I just want to assure myself it will be worth the trip. I just don't know.

I'm the same way with my favorite television shows. Sing along with me ...
Listen ... oo-ah-oo
Do you want to know some spoilers ... oo-ah-oo
Do you promise not to tell ... oo-ah-oo
Closer, let me whisper in your ear ...

Beware -- extreme Survivor China spoilers after the jump!

More scantily clad Survivor castaways this year?

Posted Sep 20th 2007 1:21PM by Jackie Schnoop
Filed under: Industry, OpEd, Survivor

Survivor 15 ChinaSay it ain't so! Survivor China (as well as every other season) host Jeff Probst recently answered some questions posed by TV Tattler's Angel Cohn. Now, are there folks who watch the show just to see scantily-clad women? Who out there does that?

I realize the main reason that they don't shoot the show in a colder environment is because the castaways would have to be all bundled up and that's apparently bad for television ratings. How shallow have we become?

Jeff answered some questions about the clothing -- or lack thereof -- in the interview and I bring to you those answers ... and my two cents!

Survivor China: The castaways and the tribes

Posted Sep 19th 2007 1:03PM by Jackie Schnoop
Filed under: OpEd, Survivor, Casting

Survivor 15: ChinaWhile I see that others here in the TV Squad offices have their Early Looks screeners, I chose to review two shows which haven't issued advance copies of the premieres -- Kid Nation and Survivor: China. So I couldn't take the easy route. I had to do research; woe is me. Indeed.

The season premiere is this Thursday at 8 PM ET/PT in most viewing areas. But here I am without a real preview, so I'll dance around a bit. Or, better yet, I've read through all the content at the CBS website, watched all the videos on site, and I come to you with the tribes and my quick take on the castaways. The latter could be very off and I reserve the right to change my mind if my early favorites aren't what they seem on first impression.
