My reaction to the immunity idol was, obviously, DAMN. #Survivor

Rizo’s father is one year older than I am, which, rude. #Survivor

Also kind of a meta-commentary if true. 🧐

Extended conversation about toes with Dee in the frame the entire time: #Survivor knows what it’s doing.

Actually, getting stuck overnight with someone who’s really ticked off at a third person is probably the best-case scenario because nothing bonds people like talking shit about people behind their backs. #Survivor

Three strong dudes waving floppy poles around for an hour: #Survivor knows what it’s doing.

Everyone check off “old school player complains that someone’s not working around camp” on your #Survivor bingo card.

Half of America votes to deliberately make people miserable while half votes for something that personally costs them nothing but would help others. #Survivor is yet again an unwitting microcosm.

Ok, go everyone except like two people with problematic views.

If I didn’t already know how much #Survivor has changed me, the number of personal anecdotes I could recall as the camera panned down the cast really drove the point home. Anyway, go everyone but especially this queen.

However, I’ve podcasted about non-Survivor things with two of them, helped one of them at my day job, podcasted in depth about more than a few, seen one’s adult film, and incorrectly predicted one of them was getting voted out in front of 900 people.

The wildest thing about this #Survivor season is the fact that I’ve only personally met one person from the cast in real life, and that was only because Bloom and I were sitting behind her and he offered to introduce me. 🧵

I had the most horrified split second when I thought the #Survivor retrospective was giving air time to [redacted] followed by the most Comic Book Guy moment of my life where I was like, “actually, Elisabeth Filarski Hasselbeck was not cheering for Colby in that scene.”

Not me taking the bus this morning so I can be above ground to get caught up on the #Survivor Quarter Quell.

This guy gets it.

I’m at the bookstore. I’m at the Jeff Probst autograph line. I’m at the combination bookstore and Jeff Probst autograph line.

If they don’t learn anything else over the course of the journey, at least everyone on this season of #LoveIsBlindUS will leave the pods knowing how to spell the name of the state they live in.

Come on, @nytimes.com Spelling Bee. This word is perfectly cromulent.

We haven’t even started the season yet and “Overexplaining Colby” is already the @robcesternino.bsky.social breakout character of Season 50. #RHAP

#RHAP recently aired a podcast about all the times Rob made people mad and the biggest one I, personally, was involved in didn’t even get a mention, which means that dude & his weird beef are completely irrelevant. It’s really giving that Mad Men scene with Jon Hamm and Jonah from “Superstore.”

Yeah, I’m currently questioning my life choices when it comes to having to wait a week between new episodes!

Any of my skeeps watching “School Spirits”? I started it as a laundry show and now I’m kind of emotionally invested.

#ThePitt is a great show for many reasons, but this week, when I told my son about one particular scene it got him eating a giant bowl of vegetables instead of a fifth piece of toast.

So I’ve hit the ground running on my new podcast endeavor and friends, it’s gonna be so good. I’m super hyped. Stay tuned… #vaguesky #RHAP

omg, nundos! I love that term so much!

I actually love this because it puts the “aww” in Awwful. 😂

I don’t usually either but I also have lots of space so 🤷‍♀️

Most people would!

Anyone can brag about catching a perfect Pokemon but I’ve caught far fewer absolute zero boys, which makes them extra special. He’s so pathetic. I love him. #pokemongo
