The Right Reasons took some interesting turns this week. Perhaps most notably, David Jacoby thoroughly enjoyed this week’s Survivor! All you need is some matricide to get him interested. We talked about Laura M. and Ciera’s relationship, Caleb’s apparently stable weight, and Aras’s tribal council attire. From there we moved on to our Weird Watches, including Juliet’s trip to X Factor to meet One Direction, followed by some hard-hitting news items. Topics include a potential NBA player on Survivor, the Situation’s legal troubles, Brittany Murphy’s suspicious death, and Taylor Swift’s real estate holdings. This may be the only space on the Internet where government whistle-blowers and Love & Hip Hop New York commingle.
