Survivor 30 Finale

Worlds Apart Final Episode and Reunion happened last week!

This season has been one of the more awesome ones in a while! The castaways were truly memorable, even those that were booted before the merge and I had a blast watching this season. I must say that I really think that all of them had potential to be winners/make it far, agreeing with Mike's description of a "Season of gamers". Some complained that the casts were not likeable but I think good TV is when the cast is interesting/controversial. Haha. 

Ohwell, let's get into what I was here for!!! XD 

MIKE HOLLOWAY WON!?!?!?! What???!!! How on Earth did that happen? He was the target ever since Joe was voted out, and he managed to stay all the way till the end? Much respect bro! Well deserved win! I especially like the episode when he demonstrated one of my fave strategic moves this season: Russian Roulette. It was nice to see how he tried to corner the other players. Also, in a way turning into an underdog was somewhat a blessing in disguise. 

And... um... Yep. My first impressions of Mike, anyone? My impressions on who is the best have been pretty spot on! Or... is it the editing? ):

Side note* On the subject of editing, raw footage was shown for the first time ever. Pretty damn cool and revealing. :/

Thanks for such an epic season.
(pretty stoked for the next)

Heard it through the Grapevine Ep 9, 10, 11, 12 Review

Heard it through the Grapevine A.K.A Heard it as a Rumor A.K.A I heard a Rumor [HITTG]

I'm back with a multiple episodes review! Woohoo!
Alright, to be honest, I felt that episode 9 & 10 didn't have that much going on and decided to watch another 2 episodes before writing about my thoughts. I did a bit of digging around and found out that episode 9&10 had the highest rating thus far in the series?! I'm very surprised! To me, this was not the kind of development that I enjoy as much so to reach an even greater audience in these 2 episodes airing week really bewildered me a little...
Not to say I do not like this drama anymore, but I'm wasn't too impressed hey. I did like the emotional part near the end of episode 9 though. *thumbs up* for the scene where Bom's mum had a conversation with her over the phone after delivering red bean rice cake.

However, the next week's eps (11, 12) were definitely better in my opinion! :) There were way more character development, from Seo Noo Ri (Bom's sister) to Lee Sun Sook (Yeon Hee's secretary). The change in attitude from the Han family was also a game changer in terms of how the story was going to continue. How on earth did the Seo family get connected to others with power? In the meantime, Bom is starting to feel like an outsider to her birth family as she starts to grasp on to Power. :/

Also, something did catch my attention in these episodes. Or should I say someone did?
Yep, Min Joo Young.
Who on earth are you?



Name: Min Joo Young
Specialty: Stalking
Job: Secretary for the 8th level of Hansong
Secret mission: Clear her brother's name + Find dirt on Hansong (?)
Notable Skill: Speaks Mandarin fluently!!! *impressed!

O.O Side note, she looks really young for her real age too!
Her character development in this few episodes was really a huge jump and had a really good edit in my opinion. So curious as to what is going on, as I'm not 100% sure what is her relationship with Hansong and the backstory. I realised I really like her when her colleagues started to doubt her, I was like Noooooo don't get caught! She's not doing nothing! Haha, and her poker face was superb too! :| Looking forward to see her character move forward and make an impact on all their lives.
... I am predicting that In Sang's father will lose the battle in the end... But maybe not? ): (Oh man, I am almost always rooting for the underdog to win, so perhaps I am bias. :/)

Ok, that's all for now, I will be back next week with another review! :)
In the meantime, you can read my previous reviews here.
And feel free to tweet me @raycherr.

P.S Sorry I'm so behind on this drama... *still decides to watch another show, oops
