Fan Favorite

My new favorite thing is walking around with Kim and hearing someone whisper "I think that's Kim from Survivor?!"  Which is usually followed quickly by Kim's well timed, "It IS Kim from Survivor!"  That always brings a smile to her fans faces.  The sales girls at Anthropologie are TEAM KIM all the way...

Also here's a quick sneak peak from Kim's photo shoot today (Emme was doing her best to make her Aunt laugh)...

TEAM KIM for the WIN!!  

My sympathies go out to the novelty check fan.

I kind of loooove this article...

'Survivor' recap: Kim For the Win?

There seems to be no stopping the bridal shop owner, even as she makes her first big mistake in the game

By Dalton Ross | Published Apr 26, 2012

Give her the money. Seriously, just give her the damn money. Put it in a brown paper bag, or stuff it into the belly of that random pig that strolled into camp, or have Penn Jillette call the Blue Man Group and make them deliver it via an inflating balloon that pops dollar bills all over the beach. I don’t care. But you may as well hand the cash over to Kim Spradlin right now. Lord knows she deserves it.

We were aware Kim was the only one on the island with any bona fide strategic skills (although she made her first significant blunder this week), but we also learned at the most recent reward challenge that she also seems to be handily winning the social game as well, being named by her tribemates as the player they would most trust with their lives as well as the person they’d most like to be stranded with on an island (which is exactly what they are currently doing, incidentally).

The fact that Kim is so trusted is what is enabling her to keep women who won’t come within sniffing distance of victory — hi, Kat! — in line. However, will that come back to haunt Kim the same way it haunted Coach last season when he was finally forced to turn on people? It may, but there is no doubt Kim is playing head and shoulders above everyone else out there, much like Boston Rob on Redemption Island. Kim is not only owning the strategic and social elements of the game, but she even ruled the challenges this week as well, winning both reward and immunity.

The problem with Kim’s domination, much like Rob’s, is that it doesn’t make for very exciting television. We want action, activity, shake-ups — not people lining up passively in front of a proverbial guillotine waiting to have their reality TV necks sliced. If you’re like me — and I pray that you are not for so many reasons — you have been ready to strangle some of those women (and Tarzan) who for the past few weeks have seemed perfectly happy to come in fourth through sixth place. Probst has been practically daring them to do something about it. No thanks, is the reply.

So hand Kim the money already. Because while, as viewers, we always want a shake-up due to it being exciting to see someone on top fall, can you really in good conscience root for anyone else at this point? Kat? Alicia? Really? So our choice has basically boiled down to this: Root for an unworthy player to win just so we can be surprised, or root for utter predictability to guarantee that the most deserving player takes home the prize. Tough call, but I think I’ll go with the latter. I just can’t handle the thought of possibly seeing Alicia standing next to an oversized novelty check with six zeros on it. Although considering Sophie Clarke never even got her novelty check, perhaps that is now an impossibility no matter who wins. It is truly a sad day for oversized novelty check fans everywhere.

Wednesday! (Episode 11)

TGIW (Thank GOODNESS it's Wednesday)!!

TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!  

Compete

Kim's a competitor so I think it's only natural that she enjoy's watching others compete!  A couple of weeks ago she got to hang out with some of Nascar's finest fastest (and she also managed to snag the title of "hot lap hottie" :)...

Yesterday we spent a sunny afternoon at the golf course taking in the Texas Open...

Nothing says pressure like trying to make a putt with a million dollars on the line!  I'm thinking Kim might be able to identify just a little bit with playing a high stakes game for money...

The countdown is on...Wednesday is right around the corner! TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN! 

Surviving Sand

Kim spent the day surviving the sand and sun...

Don't worry she looked good doing it!

She also had the best little "ball girl" San Antonio has to offer...

It was a good day and Team Kim kicked a little butt (with some help from Rebecca whose not afraid to hit it hard)...

Happy Saturday (only 4 more days until SURVIVOR)!  TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!

A $40 Shower

Last night we headed North for another fun filled Wednesday night...

Team Kim was out in full force...

Can you say, "SURVIVOR"?!!

My parents had packed their house with some of Temple's finest educators/coaches and their families...

We all gathered round and got to watch Kim take a $40 shower on National Television (now that's something you don't see everyday)...

Afterwards Kim treated us to some fresh coconut machete style...

It was a great night made even better by the fact that Kim managed to foil Troy's best laid plans to vote her out.  Hooray for another week of TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!  

Wednesday! (Episode 10)

I'm really looking forward to tonight!  Lately I feel like I'm beginning to watch my sister starve on national television.  By the looks of things we have the "Survivor Auction" coming up tonight and that can only mean one thing...FOOD!!!  

I know I'll be thinking one thing all day..."PLEASE LET KIM GET TO EAT TONIGHT!!"  

Followed closely by this prayer:


Dear God,
Please don't let Troyzan vote my sister out.
Amen.


TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!  (Tune in tonight and cheer her on at 7:00 Central 8:00 Eastern)

NASCAR

Fear of God

Man.  When Jay put the fear of God in Kim last night I think he put it in all of us too.  Whew!!  That was a close one!  Mad props to Kim for some exquisite game play and exceptional last minute scrambling.  For a second there I was a little worried my best friend was going home (Kim and I on our quick trip this past weekend to DC)...

I'll have more when life slows down just a tad (I'm coordinating and styling my first wedding this weekend, wish me luck!)  TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!

Just Annihilate Them

It's official.  Each Wednesday is better than the one before!  Last night's episode had us all sitting there with our mouths wide open.  It's one thing to know someone is pretty good a spinning a story...it's another to watch them do it on National Television!  

Kim has a talent otherwise know as "making s*@% up!"  She's been perfecting it for as long as I can remember.  She loves to mess with people and the game of Survivor takes that to a totally different level.  I think it was made for someone just like her and it is beyond fun to watch her play!  Needless to say we weren't at all surprised when she popped up as one of the potential "Player's of the Week"...

We couldn't cast our votes fast enough...

Hmmmm....it's a tough decision...

But I think I'll go with KIM!  If you haven't voted yet text the number "2" to 55455.  When you do you'll be entered in a $10,000 give-a-way so it's a win win situation!  Just in case you need a little extra convincing check out this secret scene from last night (just click on the pic)...

We also had a chance to watch with some die hard Survivor fans last night which always makes things that much more fun (Kim and Robin)...

Lately I feel like I'm hanging out with my very own Boston Rob Jr.  I couldn't be prouder of this chick...  

TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!

Wednesday! (Episode 8)

If the preview is any indication tonight's episode is gonna' be a good one.  Looks like there's gonna' be some annihilating going on around the island!

I know a couple of her littlest fans are hoping for some girl power tonight!  When they grow up they want to have muscles just like Aunt Kim...

TEAM KIM FOR THE WIN!!
