Survivor: Redemption Island: Best Ever?

Hello! Most of you know that my favorite show (ever) is Survivor! Well, Survivor 22 Redemption Island premiered on February 16th and I was just so excited! It was probably the best start of the season ever! I love Survivor and sometimes it's great to have really stupid people...............................

Only two episodes have premiered so far...........the first and second and to be clear, if you haven't watched Survivor yet and you watch it I consider NOT reading this because it has some spoilers coming along here:

Phillip is an idiot that makes everyone laugh............he's so stupid that it's funny. Kristina annoys me too, just because she is so frustrating to everyone else. Plus she was all annoying because she found an idol on the first day.

The whole
Redemption Island thing was kind of shaky on me at first. I mean I always get excited when someone I don't like gets voted out. Now they might come back, but I guess it's good to try something new. They probably just ran out of ideas and need something. Now I think it might be okay just not perfect since it hasn't started yet. (The redemption part)

Out of Matt and Francesca (not to be confused with Phillip's way of saying it "Fransequea") I think that both of them have a shot. Personally, I think that Francesca would be nicer to come back, but either way anything could happen.
Like I said, I wasn't thrilled about the twist, but this was such a great start. Want me to tell why? Don't answer that..................................

Phillip practically put his foot in his mouth by spilling the beans about everything within his alliance with Francesca and Kristina in the first episode. He told everyone about Kristina's idol and about wanting to vote out Rob. It was a mess and was so funny too!

You should have seen it.........trust me throughout the next few months blogging about my favorite show. Not all the time though.

Thanks for reading,
Emily :)

Reading makes you Smarter

Hey Guys! Look at me! I am blogging two weeks in a row, how quirky is that? I almost never blog that frequent. By the way-please comment on my post, I only do my blog for you readers and if you don't comment how will I know you've read my blog? Oh wait-I won't!

So you may wonder why the title of this blog entry is 'Reading Makes You Smarter'. Well, it's just a fact and facts make very good blog titles believe it or not. I would like to clarify that Reading defiantly does make the brain smarter. You'll see why in a second.

The next part of this blog is where I'm going to tell you about how many great books I have read in my life. I have read the best series ever which is by the way called The mother daughter book club. Some people think it's lame, but I for one think it's amazing! The books are written well with good detail and the characters are so developed and great!

I would also like to point out that I have to write a story in school about a kingdom I make up. Well, I've come up with a kingdom named 'Writes' and yeah, it's pretty cool. It has to have laws, a coat or arms, a map, and etc. We also have to write a story to go with it. I plan on making a short one for class, and a long one for home and life. It's about a girl named Amari and she is in this world of Writes and everyday there is the setting of the best selling book of the day. But one day the whole thing gets out of hand and the evil person named Antella, takes control of the world and eventually Amari has to fix it. I think that it will be really cool because I plan on having a 'Tower 'O Books' and a 'Writing Station' in it. I think that's really awesome. Do you think so?

Tell me what you think!

Thanks,
Emily :)

Is it February Already?

Is it February already? Really, I had no idea. And it's not just because I haven't blogged since December of last year. Would you like to catch up with me? I will just tell you the basics. (what goes on in my life right now)

It's my birthday next month. I'm sick right now and am very upset about it. How is one supposed to be happy about a birthday when she can't talk? Plus tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I am sick. I never liked Valentine's Day a bunch but I like that my mom made so many good treats. (Red Velvet Cupcakes, sugar cookies etc.)

What else is new? Near the end of January I had the stomach flu, just so you know that is not a fun road to go down. Especially not when your family all has it and you want to avoid it but obviously you can't. You just can't.

This year I have also been reminded of the starving children at my school. Did you know that 18,000 children die everyday from starvation? They get so hungry that they make themselves dirt cookies. I almost cried. DIRT COOKIES! Have you ever ate dirt cookies? Didn't think so, that's why I almost cried.

I am re-reading my favorite book series 'The Mother-Daughter Book Club' and I know my aunt wants me to read Fablehaven and I promise I will at one point but sorry! You should really read the Mother Daughter book Club it is so good!


Promise to blog more frequently,
Emily

Survivor: My top 10

Hello! I am very pleased with CBS's Survivor: Nicaragua finale last night. The winner was "Fabio" Birza. I don't like referring to him as Judson or Jud. It makes you say 'Who?' and then 'Oh yeah, Fabio.' I was so happy that Chase or Sash did NOT win. Sash got 0 votes, which is good. Chase was making me nervous when he had four votes and Fabio had four. Then when Fabio won you went, oh good it's over.

I'm just going to do a quick review of the night. Besides stupid 60 minutes running late and cutting into my Survivor time, it started good. When Fabio won the first immunity challenge, everyone was happy, especially Noah. No, Noah was even MORE happy when Fabio actually won. He screamed and went 'YES, YEAH! BOO CHASE AND SASH! GO FABIO!' But we aren't talking about Noah right now. We are talking about Survivor.

First off, Dan was totally ticked when he got voted off. Like, so ticked. He didn't even turn back to be like 'hey good luck,'. Instead at the last Jury Vote he screamed at Chase and Sash and voted for Fabio to win the final game. Next, Fabio won again, making Noah even happier, and booting Holly off the island. Holly wasn't as happy either but not as mad as Dan.

The final tribal was obvious. Fabio was going to win. He got votes from Marty, Benry, NaOnka, Purple Kelly, and Dan. My favorite this season was Alina and I really was upset when she got voted off. The only thing was that she said at the end that she wanted a 'man' to win Survivor. 'Man' I guess meaning Chase. Does she like love Chase? She never once spoke much to Chase. WHAT!? She made me confused. But good thing she is pretty. At least she tried. I watched an interview from earlier that day, her 'man' comment just came out wrong I guess.

Now from a special part, I am going to rank the Survivor seasons just like some random dude did at ew.com
The guy ranked his and I didn't exactly agree. Also if ew.com doesn't have, like the survivor thing then look it up in the search box.

Okay here we go..............................................................(Please remember you do NOT have to agree with me)
1. Survivor All-Stars (Winner Amber Brkich)
Not only was this an awesome season but it had so many great moments. First off the three tribes were great, the cast was amazing. I love Amber Brkich. On EW they put All-Stars as number 13, that's crazy. This was an amazing season. I love the challenges and the rewards are awesome! Only thing, Shii Ann.

2. Survivor Heroes V.S. Villains (Winner Sandra Diaz-Twine)
Great Season. Boston Rob v.s. Russel. Who will win? Well, sorry Boston Rob but Russel is pretty stubborn and made it WAY farther than you. Not that you didn't make it far anyway. Anyway, good season. Made me laugh. Two idols, Parvati. Good, good, good.

3. Survivor The Australian Outback (Winner Tina Wesson)
Very good season. Evil Jerri, it's all good.

4. Survivor Pearl Islands (Winner Sandra Diaz-Twine)
Well, I liked it a lot but the Outcasts just bugged me. Lillian was the worst runner-up ever and I am surprised I still remember her name. I would have liked someone else to win besides Sandra but whatever. I just don't like Lillian. My only pet peeve of the season.

5. Survivor Micronesia Fans V.S. Favorites (Winner Parvati Shallow)
I love this season.

6. Survivor Samoa (Winner Natalie White)
Ha, ha Russel.


7. Survivor Borneo (Winner Richard Hatch)
Good first season. I never was really mad at the tv except for the Sue Hawk moment. Yeah, Sue Hawk! Yeah, no she isn't so awesome.

8. Survivor Palau (Winner Tom Westman)
Stephanie is the most amazing ever! How do you live alone for a day. I would die!

9.
Survivor: Tocantins (Winner: J.T. Thomas)
It was okay,

10. Survivor
Nicaragua ( Winner Jud "Fabio Birza)
Not many people liked it, many people liked it. It was okay to me.

So do you agree? Tell me!
Thanks for reading,
Emily :)

P.S. These were only based on the seasons I have seen. I have seen season 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21.

Witches, Plays, and Movies! OH MY!

Hello and welcome to this special and long viewing of the best blog (next to some more high tech people) ever! Just so you know if you were ever going to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Pt. One or go see Wicked in Kalamazoo or go see my play 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'.

Like my aunt once said on her blog BEWARE FOR EXTREME SPOILERS
I'M NOT KIDDING........EXTREME.......I GIVE AWAY EVERYTHING

First off on December 4th I went to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Pt. One. It was a very good movie and I enjoyed it very much seeing it with my Aunt Sarah. The movie was very well played and unlike other movies based off of books it had a special feel that made you actually want to continue watching it. Everything, even the scary snakes were good. I know that my Aunt loves Ron and Hermione together and there 'secret' not so secret relationship. It was very cute and the whole way they played it was.

However the deaths were very awkward. I was puzzled as to how Hedwig just died. Like the side of the vehicle hit her and she just died. She fell, and she died. There was not much to it. I think that the theater probably hated us because I cracked jokes every time something bad happened. SPOILER! I especially made my aunt laugh when Dobby's death occurred. I want to point out that Harry's British accent can confuse people regarding many words. So when Dobby died and Harry says "I want to bury him." some people may think Harry said "I want to marry him," I laughed a lot which wasn't supposed to happen in such a serious scene.

My second thing or item or whatever I am reviewing will be A Charlie Brown Christmas because my Wicked discussion will be so long you will never stop reading this post. Anyway, on December 11th and 12th I will be performing a special play you might have heard of before titled 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' I will be playing the role of Violet Gray not to be confused with the two colors. My bestie, Meghann Butchart, had the role of Lucy Van Pelt.

I hope that all of you reading my blog will be able to come see it and love it as much as I do!

On the best note of all I would like to inform you that on December 5th I went to see the play WICKED. Normally on like, Broadway it would be starring Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth but I saw it with Vicky Noon and Natalie Daradich. It was the most incredible play ever!

First of all, we were in the front row and I could see everything including the orchestra pit! It was so cool! Plus it gives you a COMPLETELY different feel than you did in the Wizard of OZ. The whole time you were rooting for Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west) instead of hating her. By the way, the only reason she was angry at Dorothy was because she had Nessaroses' shoes who was her sister who was the one who got hit with Dorothy's house.

There was so much to go along with this play the music was amazing, you learn why Elphie was so evil, and you see the true Glinda or Galinda. It was so incredible!

Shake it Up!

Alright so you all have probably (maybe) heard of the new disney show "Shake it Up" starring Zendaya Coleman and Bella Thorne. The show is about two teens who want to be background dancers on their favorite tv "dance show". It's okay so far and it's pretty funny but I'm not sure if I love the plot.

The plot focuses around Cece Jones (Bella Thorne) and Rocky Blue (Zendaya Coleman) who are two teens with "big dreams". Long story short, Cece and Rocky both make the show and become dancers for "Shake it Up, Chicago" The humor is humorous and the characters are characters but I hope they can have a good plot and not ruin Bella and Zendaya like they did with Good Luck Charlie.

Anyway, I hope that this show will have some fun moments before the writers run out of ideas and look to other shows like Hannah Montana or Sonny with a Chance (which is a bad idea) for advice. They shouldn't ruin any talent at this age. Just look to me for advice. Look I already have some episode ideas for them:

Idea One: "Fire it Up" They let dancers go do to shortage of money.
Idea Two: "Fix it Up" The studio for "Shake it Up, Chicago" gets torn down and they have to fix it and such.
Idea Three: "Hollywood it Up" Cece and Rocky go to Hollywood;

Yes, all the episodes have to sound with "it Up!" because that is the series thing they do. I hope you liked my review of the new show and please tell be what episode idea you liked best or if you liked them at all.

Thanks,
Emily :)

TV and Such

Hello! I know it been a while but I am very busy. Plus I have barely anything to blog about. Well, I probably do but I take a while to think. I'm not getting I might have started this blog three or four times and not finished it. So I'm gonna talk about my favorite (and least favorite) shows and movies.

Survivor Season 21: So this is like, my favorite television show ever. But its so weird this season, not like I don't like it weird, more like I like it but the people are all idiots. Like I'm sure if you watched Survivor in the past their has been some pretty
stupid people but not like these. Plus these people are mean. Like NaOnka she pushed a girl out of her way. And guess what? They haven't voted her off yet. But i still love the show and am excited for more.

Wizards of Waverly Place: This is one of my favorite Disney Channel shows. The season finale is very strange, Like, it doesn't really give you an ending. Its kind of like 'To Be Continued' but its the end of the season so its not. Alex talks about how they need to leave and expose magic but they end up just staying at a desert and somehow walking away....weird right?

Buffy: The Vampire Slayer: Okay, I can't say like what is happening because the show ended about seven years ago, anyway it's good and I think people into vampires and junk should watch it. Fantasys.......ooh!

Good Luck Charlie: Why do I watch this show? I have no idea, it's lame and boring and pointless because the show is going to end soon. Yeah, Dear Disney Channel creators......I hope Shake it Up is fantastic or else you better never make another show again and I mean it!

iCarly: It's funny and it's doing very well. See, some Nickelodeon writers know what they're doing. (Cough, Cough Disney Channel) See there's really nothing going on with the show right now but it's keeping me entertained which makes everybody who reads my blog happy!

Hannah Montana Forever: You may wonder why I put this as a show on my list. I did this because I hate is so much I felt the need to say something. I want to write a letter to Miley Cyrus. This is how it will start off, Dear Miley, why can't you be a harmless sweet little eleven year old again? If you agree with me post a comment!

Spongebob SquarePants: I like the 2005-2006 and even some 2002-2004 episodes better. Now it's just new and boring. Heads up, I'm not watching mystery with a twistery. Back in 1999, it would've been funnier. Am I right?

Final Thoughts: By the way, this is not a show just my real final thoughts. If you liked some of my criticism then just say something like 'Yeah go Em!' if you think I am wrong then say something like 'Em you stink' No, just kidding say something that may change my point of view. Lastly, you may be wondering what my favorite show is. It's Survivor. It always (probably) will be. Thank you for reading and I am blogging so that means that I will blog again. So those of you who read my blog but don't post comments......POST COMMENTS because then I don't know if you're reading my blog or not. I don't care if you say 'hi' just please let me know.

Thanks,
Emily :)


P.S. Please read some of my other posts and check in soon to see my other posts.
Thanks!
Again, Emily
