Moody: cynicism.com...I mean Salon.com...has been doing these scathing but witty summaries all along. This is actually one of the lamer ones, IMO. "Bored game," come on, that's like doing a knock-knock joke. It's funny that they are now talking about Survivor as if it was so great. When Survivor was running, the Salon articles were about it were just as harsh as this one. Classic contradiction resulting from knee-jerk cynicism.

What can I say, every day I look forward to a new Salon BB article. They are usually hilarious.

Funny article and they really bash Jamie over and over. My favorite line:

"...we figure she just wants to know if she was indeed portrayed as the Glenda the Good Witch of the North. True. They all have a laugh. She doesn't know that her face is a target in an Internet game. "

My favorite part:

>>"If I know Cassandra at all," he says. "I know that within 24 or 48 hours she had seen all the tapes and read almost any and all articles written about the show for any interviews that she might undergo."

Sorry, Eddie. We guess you don't know Cassandra that well. Maybe you should have slept less and talked to her more while she was in the house. <<

I've been reading the Salon.com episode articles since they started. At first they were wittier, but I think the writers got bored about halfway through, and sometimes now they just cover the basics of the show, not much humor.
