this week became the latest openly gay man to win CBS’ “Survivor.” Who knew that show was still on TV?
“I wasn’t the strongest. I wasn’t the smartest,” Herzog said during the finale, according to the Associated Press. “But I was definitely the most strategic.”
Yes, darling. You may not be able to tie your shoes, but you can lie about it and that’s what life is about. Or at least that’s what “Survivor: China” is about with its $1 million prize.
Dish hates to be the economist here, but she’s correct that the dollar is losing value and prices are going up, right? So please explain to her why after being on the air forever “Survivor” still offers a measly mil? What’s that good for? One morning’s cup of coffee? That’s not even enough caffeine to jolt Dish into remembering where she is and why her wig is across the room.
At 22, Herzog is the youngest winner in “Survivor’s” 15-edition history. A Mormon flight attendant from Utah, he aligned himself with three other competitors to deflect attention from himself.
“I can’t believe it worked,” he said. Can’t believe it worked? It’s survival of the fittest; it’s playing dead at its finest. Of course it worked! Evolution was in your favor, doll, and let’s face it: anyone who can manage to still work as a flight attendant in this day and age has already won multiple games of “Survivor.”
Oh, no! fell! Dish knows you’ve already heard, but she’s just heartsick about it. For those who are deaf/dumb/blind/internet-challenged, stumbled offstage in Sweden and collapsed while only a few songs into her concert. She subsequently canceled the rest of her upcoming concert dates, but no one’s given a word on her condition. So now we must sit and wait and hold candlelight vigils.
At long last, Las Vegas Show has ended.
During the farewell performance at Caesar’s Palace, Dion actually compared her show’s rocky start with the sinking of a ship that killed more than 1,000 people.
“At one point it was like feeling that the Titanic was about to sink again,” Dion said — with trademark loose grammatical style — according to the Associated Press. “But we believed and we went with it. Even though the vibe was not that positive for us.”
Just before her Vegas run started in 2000 Dion became pregnant. The creation of the show included building a $95 million coliseum, however, so daddy — excuse me, Dion’s husband Rene Angelil — said he paid too damn much for her new toy to throw it away.
But she went with it and 700 shows later, she finished. Diehard Dion fans don’t despair, however. In February she’ll be embarking on her world tour for her new album.
Sometimes, as she goosesteps around her cell, Dish wonders why she’s trapped here instead of, say, house. Although that fey Broadway darling sold his New York penthouse on East 89th Street in June, the information just became public, New York Post’s Page Six is reporting. Dish is so upset, as she was looking forward to owning that place, with its wraparound terrace, fireplace and 11-foot high ceilings, which makes them lofty enough for even Tune, who stands 6’6”, just like Dish. That duplex sold for $6 million, however, which Dish just doesn’t think she could afford just now.
