The Rules: For the “Survivor” finale, “Survivor: Gabon’s” Charlie Herschel and Fancast’s Gordon Holmes will rank the players based on where we think they’ll finish the game.

May 15, 2009

Whether you love him or you hate him, you have to admit that Benjamin “Coach” Wade was one of the most entertaining “Survivor” players of all time.

We were granted an audience with “The Dragon Slayer” the day after his dismissal from the game and were enlightened with his wisdom pertaining to his “sexist” comments toward Sierra, the truth behind his Amazon story, what it’s like to be a “Survivor” villain, and so much more…

‘Survivor’ Castaway Interview – Debra Beebee

May 12, 2009

If Sierra was “The Bride of the Dragon,” then surely Debra Beebee was “The Bride of the Dragon Slayer.” She was the right-hand confident of one of this season’s most interesting players, “Coach” Ben Wade. However, she wasn’t content to follow Coach all the way, when she felt the time was right, she made a move to ditch him. Unfortunately for her, the time was wrong and she became the fourth member of the jury.

We had an opportunity to talk to the latest castaway the morning after her dismissal to get her thoughts on turning on Coach, Erinn’s strong distaste for mayonnaise, and what it’s like being a school principal with questionable math skills.

The “Survivor: Tocantins” Power Rankings Challenge: Round 9

May 7, 2009

The Rules: Each week, “Survivor: Gabon” alumni and former Onion Alliance kingpin Charlie Herschel and your beloved “Survivor” recapper Gordon Holmes will create separate power rankings. The ranking of the person who is voted out of that Thursday’s episode will determine the amount of points the two combatants will earn.

Betting on the “Survivor: Tocantins” Power Rankings Challenge is strictly prohibited and somewhat foolish as Charlie has picked the booted castaway 5 WEEKS IN A ROW!

Last Week: Sierra got the old heave-ho, earning Charlie 7 points and earning Gordon 5 points. The current score is now Herschel 74 – Holmes 67.

“Survivor” Castaway Interview – Sierra Reed

May 1, 2009

Sierra Reed went from being singled out by Timbira for elimination on the first day of the game, to being an integral part of the Exile Alliance, to being dead in the water after Brendan was booted from the game.

We sat down with the 23-year-old model the day after she was voted out to get her opinions on Coach’s creative nicknames, Tyson’s unique “Bash Sierra” strategy, and why everyone seemed to be against her…
