Water Cooler Talk from Two Guys Who Look Alarmingly Similar
All-Star Preview
Well, we have dusted off the tiki torches and we're all pumped up for the debut of Survivor: All-Stars this weekend, right after the Patriots finish pounding the Panthers into the ground.
We're extremely psyched about this season; after all we haven't had a lot to root for here in Pittsburgh lately. The Steelers had a lousy season, the Pirates are always lousy, and the Penguins... do they even still play hockey here??
Our sports teams may be pitiful, but we are the proud home of the two hottest babes of Survivor: All Stars! And we'll be rooting for both of these fine women on two web sites: Amber-Brkich.com and Jenna-Morasca.com. We'll be using the power of both sites to inflict our heavily biased opinions each week during the run of the show -- hooray for us! Can world domination be far behind?
We began our "Water Cooler Talk" tradition back in 2001 when Amber headed to the Outback for Survivor: Australia, and we revived the columns last year as Jenna grabbed the million bucks in the Amazon.
We thought we had put the water cooler away for good until we learned of the all-star edition. So, we have pulled the cooler out of storage, and we have cleaned out most of the crud that was floating in it. We're all set for a new season of smart-assed commentaries that critics have hailed as: "Juvenile!" "Stupid!" "The True Bottom Feeder of Journalism" and "Heavily Narcissistic!" We hope to live up to all of those accolades again this year.
We're also excited about this season because we have already met nearly half of the participants on the show. Obviously, we know Amber and Jenna, but we have also had the opportunity to meet six of the other contestants. Not to brag, but we once rode in a crowded limousine with several Survivors, and we were so tightly packed in that we nearly became Siamese twins with Colby.
We have met Lex Van den Berghe and found him to be one of the most down-to-earth, cool people we have encountered. We also found out firsthand that Boston Rob says some really bad words when he's intoxicated.
At any rate, we're eagerly anticipating this new season; there are so many unanswered questions. Will Richard Hatch and Jenna (or God forbid, Sue) be naked together? Has Rob C. been able to attract a woman with his newfound fame, or will we see more rampant shaking of the Magic 8 ball this year?
Watch this spot a couple hours after the series debut on Sunday for our official commentary!
