A Textbook Survivor Sighting!

Survivor

Nothing’s more inspirational to the youth of America than opening up a Spanish textbook and finding a castaway from Survivor smiling happily. Luckily, for a select group of students across the country, that’s exactly what they get to experience each and every day. So which survivor is lurking in the Spanish educational materials of our nation’s children (and no, Jerry Manthey in Playboy does not count. Zing!)? Find out after the jump…

Hint: It’s probably not Cao Boi.

It’s Cristina from Cook Islands! Que bueno! Isn’t your life richer now that you know this nugget of trivia? YOU CAN THANK ME LATER.

In the meantime, I’ll thank TVgasm reader Andy for sending this in.

    I agree. These postings are taking away from tvgasm’s original appeal

    Yeah, I gotta agree. One of my favorite things about this site is posting and reading others comments. With all the extra postings (which are fabulous, btw) I don’t have time to search through all the pages of tvgasm stuff to find them.

    That’s a good idea IrideBlimp – Although Tabloid Baby has interesting articles, I come to this site mostly for the recaps. Of the 15 articles on page 1 at the moment, eight are from Tabloid Baby

    I fifth that motion. I don’t mind the news articles, but I have missed a few recaps because they get relegated to page 2 or 3 before I can get to them…and I check a lot. Can we either do separate page for tabloid baby or bundle the newsgasms like we did in the past?

    I too have to jump on this bandwagon. Either give tabloid baby their own section or make the posts shorter. I come here for the recaps and live blogs. Half of the articles that TB post I just skip over.

    The people in the picture may be smiling, but deep down, they’re all ANNOYED by Cristina and her bossy attitude. At least that’s what Adam would say.

    I have a question for B-Side, JUnit, et al…

    (Let me preface this question by saying this could have been addressed elsewhere and I have missed it)

    I know that many times you guys respond to the comments left here. But I have yet to see a response to the complaints regarding tabloid baby. (which I echo times infinity) What is up with that? Is TB blackmailing you? Held you hostage? Please say the safe word so someone can send help.

    (I know its not our place to tell you what to do w/ your site, but seriously. I’d rather read Dan Renzi recaps of “Roseanne”.)

    “Please say the safe word so someone can send help.”

    Hilarious post. Now I’m slightly concerned as well…

    well here you go. I’ve been known to recap shows for TVgasm until I went and had a kid and all that stuff.

    And I no longer recognize the site I came to love and write for a year or so ago.

    so I’m with y’all. (But I have it on good authority TB will be relegated to sidebar status at some point soon.)

    but what’s funny is that this is a B-Side post.

    I saved my TB comments for this post as I figured that, like the rest of us, B-Side would be having a hard time wading through all the TB items and wouldn’t read it there. I figured he would check in here to see if somebody thought he was funny or said he was good looking or something like that. I know I would :)

    Just to be clear, I don’t have a problem with what TB posts but rather with the volume…way too loud. I read a lot of these articles on my Windows Mobile(tm) phone so wading through this stuff has really harshed my mellow.

    hmmm, I italicized the quote from B-side and they previewed fine but didn’t post right. I think this is tabloid baby’s fault.

    Wait, what textbook is this in? “How to Infiltrate White TV?” “Latinas in Entertainment?” and why that picture? Isn’t that her personal family?

    See, I’m showing b-side some love.

    Aww, B-side, you know we love your posts. Like trickydick said, we’re directing our comments to you about Tabloid Baby.
