Things We Learned From Survivor (Borrowed from the Chicago Sun Times) |
 |
Do not build a camp in a dry
riverbed during storm season. |
 |
Do not take coral from the Great Barrier Reef. |
 |
Do not listen to
Jerri. |
 |
A big Texas flag can double as a tent. |
 |
A big blowhard gourmet chef does not necessarily double as a wilderness cook. |
 |
Jerri is two-faced. |
 |
Fire may represent life, but sometimes it only means . . .
OWWWWW! |
 |
Being tall doesn't ensure you have a spine. |
 |
Jerri is a backstabbing, conniving, no-talent harpy. |
 |
Chocolate releases the same endorphins as sex. |
 |
Cow brains and mangrove worms taste pretty good if you're hungry enough. |
 |
Jerri lies. |
 |
Malnutrition makes your hair fall out. |
 |
The Pontiac Aztek has a radio. |
 |
Jerri wouldn't know a piece of jerky from her own grass. |
 |
When it comes to makeup, such as pig's blood, less is more. |
 |
When it comes to comedy, such as the supersized episodes of "Friends," less is more. |
 |
The less Jerri the better. |
 |
Watching people cry isn't very interesting. |
 |
Listening to people moan about how hungry they are isn't very interesting. |
 |
Having Jerri sent packing was the feel-good moment of the TV season to date. |
