NSFW: A complete history of naked SURVIVOR contestants (and Jeff Probst?!?!)

Post author By web gangsta
Post date January 31, 2010

SURVIVOR is one of those shows, especially as it is about to enter its 20th season this month with an all-star HEROES VS VILLAINS theme, that Web Watch loves watching – if only because the show somehow always figures out how to be fresh, exciting, and surprising season after season.

Jeff Probst has even given all future contestants one vital hint on how to survive Survivor, and it all comes down to studying game theory, which Web Watch will cover in a future post.

One thing that Jeff didn’t feel the need to mention is that one key part of being on Survivor is that at some point during the game, you’re going to be naked.

Sure, the CBS censors may pixelate your NO NO ZONE, or the contestants may decide to show off their newly-buffed bodies in an attempt to increase their Survivor-provided 15-minutes of fame — but after 20 seasons (and approximately 300+ contestants), there was bound to be a glut of Survivor contestant nudity available at some point.

It was inevitable, really.

Looking for something to TiVo on New Year’s Eve? Try RED BULL NO LIMITS

Watching late night television on New Year’s Eve has become a tradition. No matter where you are, who you’re partying with – as soon as midnight draws near, everybody gathers to the closest TV screen to watch Dick Clark and his big ball drop on Times Square.

Sure, Ryan Seacrest may be inheriting the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve throne soon, but it will always be Dick Clark’s show.

But other networks have tried to muscle in on the stranglehold that Dick has had on New Year’s Eve festivities (portions pre-recorded). FOX tried to create an event by having motorcyle legend Robbie Knievel jump “over” the Mirage casino volcano last year. The broadcast was poorly done, there was no crowd to speak of, and even the television audience could tell that Robbie didn’t really jump over the volcano. See for yourself:

So the question is – where was everybody that cold Las Vegas evening?

Have you ever played the card game FLUXX?

It’s very simple to play, as there aren’t any rules until you begin the game. Just do whatever is listed on the cards, and you’ll figure out the rest. Every game is unique as the played cards interact in different ways.

So why not take the same philosphy and apply it to a game show?

So by now, Web Watch hopes that you have taken the time to view the Muppets’ version of Queen’s BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.

If you haven’t, we’ve included it here. (If you have, we know you’re just going to click PLAY again, if only to watch Animal’s segment one more time.)

Obviously the highlight of the video for most people is Animal’s part. Web Watch, on the other hand, enjoyed noticing the many lesser-known Muppets that were included in the video, including Mahna Mahna.

Want to cook like a professional chef? Set your TiVo on Dec 15 for “Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live”

Web Watch has enjoyed watching Gordon Ramsay yell at both potential and actual restaurant employees for years on HELL’S KITCHEN and KITCHEN NIGHTMARES, respectively.

And in the end, we wholeheartedly agree with the yelling, as he is yelling for good reason the majority of the time. All Gordon wants is to bring out the best in people.

So while you may not agree with his methods, you can agree that when it comes to food he does know what he’s talking about.

Which is why FOX has decided to import yet another British series for Ramsay that shows a decidedly softer side of the typically angry chef in GORDON RAMSAY: COOKALONG LIVE, airing live on FOX on December 15th.

You’re kidding – How can the top gadget of this decade NOT be TiVo?

1 Comment on You’re kidding – How can the top gadget of this decade NOT be TiVo?

So PASTE Magazine has come out with their list of the TOP 20 GADGETS OF THE PAST DECADE (2000-2009), and while Web Watch certainly agrees with the sentiment that such a list entails, we seriously question the validity of any such survey that places TiVo anywhere lower than #1.

It costs HOW much per commercial on The Amazing Race? That’s a steal! (and other commercial pricing)

Web Watch has a TiVo for one thing – to make watching television easier and more fun (unlike other folks who solely use TiVo or other DVRs to skip commercials). We do admit that we skip commercials, but we’ll often go back to watch some of the ones that look more interesting… like movie trailers, or something new that hasn’t been seen before.
