Reichenbach Falls: Starvation boots Erik off Survivor: Caramoan
Well, I guess he wasn’t kidding when he said he was starving. After overcoming a load of self-doubt last week, Erik Reichenbach exited Survivor: Caramoan within the first 10 minutes of the final episode, attached to a bag of intravenous fluids in the back of a medical van. Diagnosis: starvation state and dehydration. The show [...]
Erik’s ‘beautiful prison’ stay continues on ‘Survivor’
Day 35 was Erik Reichenbach’s turn for a meltdown on Survivor: Caramoan. At least he doesn’t have one every day – my God, Dawn should be dehydrated to the max by now. I can’t wait for someone to vote for her in tribal council, and when they do one of those whispered here’s-the-reason scenes, it’s [...]

Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Rhubarb
But I do. It’s beautiful. At least he knows what it is now. Unlike last year, when I…uh…kinda stole rhubarb for strawberry rhubarb custard pie, this year I asked if I could have some. Rather urgently too, as I watched his sister waving a weed-whacker around the yard, clearly in that dangerous phase of a yard [...]

Erik Reichenbach’s Donut-fueled immunity win on Survivor:Caramoan
Someone must be missing that local running mecca, the Pinckney Bakery. In the first immunity challenge of the day, our Erik gave up a quest for immunity in a dubious trade-off for a plate of donuts and a large glass of ice cold milk. “I so want that,” he moaned, as host Jeff Probst took a [...]
Changing of the Guard in U.S. Senate for Michigan — Gary Peters Steps Up to Replace Levin
Michigan’s representation in the U.S. Senate is in for a big change in 2014. That’s when U.S. Sen. Carl Levin steps down after representing our state for six terms. The U.S. Senate is an exclusive club – only 100 members – and Carl Levin year after year has been considered one of the best of [...]
Pinckney’s Erik Reichenbach & Survivor: No more Mr. Nice Guy?
I am not a big TV-watcher, and definitely am not a fan of reality shows. But I am watching Survivor-Caramoan each week for one reason, and one reason only – local boy Erik Reichenbach. We may not all know him personally, but he is “our” guy, and we are all cheering him on. He’s famous [...]
