Best Maid Pickles


 They come in a plastic jar. The logo looks cheap....but they're the best pickles I've ever had. 

Shocked at how good they are. JUST like the ones you used to get at the ballpark when you were a kid. BIG fan of these. 

Don't know what they do to make them, but they're doing it the right way I can assure you. 

Anyway, just thought I'd give you a pickle recommendation in case you went out shopping this weekend. 

Have a good one folks!

Fear the Walking Dead Season 5 (review)


 More gas than ever in this season. 

Though they always make sure to tell you, they're running low. Even had 2 scenes where people run out of gas....but they now run a gas refinery and can make their own. 

You know, because everyone knows how to make gas.

Plenty of electricity too. Maybe every store has a generator. My favorite place they visited this season was the mall. Lights on, full power....because you know if anyone is going to have power 5 years into a zombiegeddon it's the mall. 

And the zombies? Completely harmless as always. Guy was surrounded on his horse but not a single zombie bit him on the leg or foot. Amazing! You see, turns out they just wanted to eat the horse, so while he went down with the horse, he was able to crawl through the crowd of zombies unbitten. 

They also leave you on a cliffhanger making you think one of the cast died, because he's surrounded by Walkers, injured, laying on the ground. Any other show, he'd be dead but this show....there's no doubt in my mind he'll be fine. 

The regular crap I hate in the last season I watched.

However....

The characters are really good. They brought in Dwight from "Walking Dead" I'd forgotten they did that. He's a pretty good character and adds to the ensemble. The main girl still fights with the broken muzzle of a gun for some reason...I guess they still think that's cool? 

But there were a few pretty good episodes in this season. I'm not discouraged to turn it off, which is surprising. So I guess I can chug through another season, creeping closer to the final season. No promises I'll make it all the way through but if I make it through season 6, I'll double the number of seasons since they last time I quite. 

Not bad.

Now You See Me Now You Don't (review)


 Another magic movie. Just like the others, it's fun. It's got a caper. Scenes that "explain" how they pulled the trick off. A new squad (just in case they need a spin off legacy series) and an ok villain. 

It was good, not great. If you enjoyed the movies that came before it, it's fine. Not sure who was asking for another sequel but Hollywood doesn't know when to say "No" I guess.

Survivor 50 Predictions (5)


 Rizzo Velovic

Look it's Rizzo! Bye Rizzo! He's playing back to back seasons but he's going to find out he's not the genius player he thinks he is. Nice guy, but way out of league with everyone else there. 


Savannah Louie

The winner of the last season will be voted out before the merge if folks are smart. I know players don't get to watch the previous season but would they get to know who won it I wonder? She won't be looked at as a threat but she certainly is one. I don't know how her run will go this season. Could she win back to back? I don't see it happening but then again, I don't see why not. 


Stephanie LaGrossa

The lovable loser is back! Funny how they forget Bobby Jon was what made her interesting. She's nothing but nostalgia bait for the season. I admit however, I'll be interested to see if she's learned anything since her last stint on the show or will repeatedly make the same mistakes as she always does. 


Tiffany Ervin

Wow. Shocked to see her on this list. She's a moron. Maybe she was a "checklist" pick? I'm not sure. She'll blew up her own game eventually so I'm not worried about her getting anywhere close to the end. 

OK folks that's the entire cast! Can't wait to see what happens starting tomorrow night!!

Survivor 50 Predictions (4)


 Kyle Fraser

Memorable guy from his season. Best known for being Kamilah's partner in crime. As they worked together to take a lot of others out. One problem, I think Kamilah was better at it. Sure Kyle's a nice guy but I just don't see a path to victory for him this season. 


Mike White

Mike came back because his boss from CBS told him to. He's here just to have fun. not win. He'll be booted out before the merge. He writes for CBS and makes millions. He doesn't need this show. He'll show up, smile for the camera. Make an interesting story for the producers and go back to living in his million dollar apartment once it's all said and done. 


Ozzy Lusth

Yeah, I'm happy to see him back too. But we can all agree he'll never win right? Again, a wise idea would be to form a male alliance but that sort of thing NEVER happens in Survivor so Ozzy is there to pull back in Survivor fans who left the show years ago, to cheer on their favorite guy who has no chance on winning. 


Q Burdette

Another fun player to watch but he'll be voted out early on. I know he'll be good for some comic relief along the way. They did a good job casting a bunch of entertaining losers this season, I'll say that. 

Rick Devens

The man America wants to win this thing. Yes he can. But ONLY if he can make it to the merge. I think everyone knows what a threat he was and would be stupid to let him get to the merge. But if Devens can fly low enough under the radar, he'll have a good chance to move through everyone else quick and win it all in the end.

Survivor 50 Predictions (3)


 Genevieve Muchaluk

She played hard on her season but only showed how weak the pickings were when the producers were trying to find people over the past few seasons to include. NO memorable moments and NO lasting impact on the game. Just a number to fill the cast with. Zero chance of winning. 

Jenna Lewis

I wondered who they were getting from the first season to come out and play. Ole Jenna hasn't been seen since "All-Stars" She is WAY out of her depth to be playing anymore but of course I'm going to cheer for her. Again, she has zero chance of winning in this new era but it'll be fun to see her come back. 

Joe Hunter

I knew they were going to bring him back. He's an honest to goodness guy. I hope he finds a good group of people (like Colby) to team up and be faithful too, but I think instead he's going to be blind and protecting another girl and that will be his undoing. Nice guy, which is why he'll finish last. 


Jonathan Young

Fun guy to watch play. I wish he'd make a guy alliance with Colby and Joe. They could be a powerhouse, but I know it'll never happen. Again, fun to watch on his season and he'll make this season equally as fun but he has no chance of going to the end sadly. 



Kamilah Karthigesu

SUPER smart player!! I loved her on her season. She was so good at manipulation. But there's one problem....no one will be under-estimating her ever again. He super smart goose is cooked. But she's someone I wouldn't mind seeing win it all if it weren't for the fact, everyone knows her tricks. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Survivor 50 Predictions (2)

 

Cirie Fields

Dubbed "the best player never to win" is so laughable because she has done NOTHING in each of her seasons to deserve that, except to be looked at as the "weakest threat" in the game, where people take her along until they have no further use for her and vote her out. One of the most overrated players in Survivor history. I can't wait to see how she rides along all the way to the council before she's once again booted. What a joke!


Coach Wade

The Dragon Slayer returns!!! Jeff said he's a player who will "never win" and he's right. But I love watching him on Survivor all the same. Entertaining as all get out, I hope he goes long because it will make for a fun season to be sure. And yes, there is zero chance he wins or makes it to the final 3. 


Colby Donaldson

Another man who has ZERO chance of winning. He's too old school and refuses to change...and I love it. I'll be rooting for him but his time has gone and passed. I hope he does find a solid alliance though I know he won't make it to the council much less merge. He's a great guy but in this day and age, the good guy NEVER wins. 


Dee Valladares

One of the few winners they brought back for this season. She has no chance of winning this one though. She played well on her rookie season with rookies but in this season, she's cooked. 


Emily Flippen

I remember her, which is good. But I also remember not being impressed. She blew up her game one day one and was on damage repair for the rest of the game where she was lucky enough to make it to the council. Another player from the last 10 seasons, she's going to get a cruel wake up call to how the game is really played this time around.
