Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed

Of all that you mentioned I would only be worried about two. No Karthik not you. The ones that I would worry about are Amanda Morrison and Erin Rapacki. Both great people but with the little I do know and the fact that they are female ........

Enough said, I could be in enough trouble.

The thought of being put on an island for 35 days with that group of people?!? I might vote myself off on the first day to get away from Steve. Plus, I don't know if my ribcage can take any more bear hugs from Big Mike.

I'd say the hardest to deal with would be John, Andy, and Big Mike.

Brandon is helpless without a keyboard (HA!), and even though he's tall, I can take him. DJ would do something dumb and blow himself up with homemade explosives. Steve and Karthik would be too busy doing their hair to catch food, and therefore would starve. Jess Boucher and Erin ... will be disposed of (evil smile) because I don't have any good way to get rid of them! Woodie and Dean... they'd forget to show up. There's a game in the works, people!

As for John and Big Mike, I'll let them 'pool wrassle' and probably forget how to swim. Karthik, in a last attempt, will come back and serenade Amanda to try and melt her off the island, but hunger will take him in the end! (The boy can only last so long... he's a beanpole!) Andy Baker will be too busy trying to figure out how to make a good transmission from a coconut and forget about the contest.

Amanda Morrison WINS!

I hope you all take this in as much fun as I did. I'm excited to be on this list with so many big names, and so many great people.

It's true, it takes a while to get my hair just right. Would I be allowed to bring my entire hair care regiment as my luxury item? You know, it's hard being this beautiful...

As for the starvation bit, I can go extended periods of time without food, it goes with the territory of maintaining my supermodel like figure.

Anyway, it wouldn't be an issue, because we all know that Amanda can't resist my voice. It's just too angelic.

End result, Karthik wins.

Re: "Put Andy on Survivor" - help needed

True Survivor fans will get this...

The true question is, which FIRST Survivor would fake a dead grandma to win an award challenge. That, my friends, is your winner!

So much for Gracious Professionalism...

Brings a whole new meaning to "Act as you would if your Grandmother were watching."

A short series indeed. Big Mike would eat them all after bear hugging them into submission.

Everyone should go to CBS's feedback page and leave a request to put Andy on Survivor. Show them that this would bring a lot more viewers to the show.

Just one question, Andy,

Would it be Survivor 10 that you're applying for?

Good Luck with your video!
