Publisher's Synopsis

"Mario Lanza is one of the most astute students of the show." -Survivor: Fiji contestant Yau-Man Chan
"I've read Mario's works for many years and consider him one of the foremost Survivor experts in the world." -Survivor: Amazon contestant Rob Cesternino
"I think Mario needs to get a life." -Survivor: Micronesia contestant/crazy person Kathy Sleckman
Mario Lanza has been one of the most popular Survivor columnists on the internet for more than fifteen years. His website that counts down the funniest moments in Survivor history, The Funny 115, to this day still has more than half a million readers. He is also the creator and one of the hosts of the popular long running podcast, The Survivor Historians.
In this unique (and often irreverent) set of memoirs, Mario talks about how he got roped into the world of writing about Survivor, and what it is like to live your life as a popular internet writer. He also delves into more than seventy different essays about the history of the show, with an emphasis on the players and the events that made up the first three seasons of the historic Survivor franchise. He also makes his case for who he thinks should be inducted into the "real" Survivor Hall of Fame.
No matter how much you think you know about the show, reading this book will make you into a smarter Survivor fan.
Including a foreword by Rob Cesternino.
