Gay Mormon on this season of “Survivor” calls the Spice Girls reunion tour “the most significant historical event of the past 100 years.”
A gay mormon who loves coffee, how wacky!
The cast of the new “Survivor: China” includes Todd Herzog, a self-described openly gay Mormon from Pleasant Grove who, according to his profile on CBS’s Web site, believes he will succeed on the show because “he’s willing to gather wood and sh-t.” The 22-year-old former UVSC student also lists “drinking coffee” as a hobby, which, along with the “openly gay” thing, makes me wonder how Mormon he really is.
…Herzog isn’t the first openly gay LDS castaway on “Survivor.” In 2005, Salt Lake City-born Rafe Judkins made it to the final three of that season’s “Survivor: Guatemala.” Judkins approached the show with sincerity and a positive attitude, traits he attributed in part to his Mormon faith. Herzog claims to have a similarly enthusiastic outlook, although it’s not clear whether that stems from his religion or his excitement over the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour, which he calls “the most significant historical event of the past 100 years.”
Crazily enough, I can remember when reality shows actually had fairly real people on them. They’ve always been pretty narcissistic people, but still. Now it’s all former pro wrestlers and gay mormons. And bartenders. I think Survivor has a yearly quota to meet when it comes to bartenders.
I’d like to see Todd Herzog start using YouTube once he’s done in China, I think we could have some Chris Crockerishness when it comes to his devotion to the Spice Girls. Leave Victoria Beckham alone!
