With drums, chants, and quick edit cuts of fire, a new season of Survivor began last night with its gay audience quickly seeking out their own flames in human form. CBS is very solicitous of its audience this year, separating the sixteen contestants into age and sex, thus isolating all the beefcake into one easy-to-reference tribe.
How did Mal's picks fare? Right out the gate, Mal's favorite, Austin Carty, iterated a raging lust for all things puntang. This left us pondering the very much present gay face on Aras Baskauskas, even if he's a little out of his gourd. Still, we must forgive the cutie his strange yoga practices if they engender hot, shirtless men lightly touching one another in a scene that was biazarrely erotic, if not a little puzzling.
This year's Suvivor theme seems firmly fixed on the crazy, with Aras being joined by a sea turtle worshipping spiritualist and a grieving mother who passes time by writing the name of her recently deceased son in the sand with little flowers and heart designs.
This, coupled with a sleu of rule changes, should make for an interesting season.

Not to be anal retentive about this, but shouldn't it be "all things poontang" and a "slew of rule changes"?
Sincerely,
