W W W .JUSTOUT COM SEPTEMBER 17 2010 NIGHT LIFE WWHKmPIMH Keep on Surviving Go/ Survivor 2 brings bock thrills, loughs and hideous smoothies Schadenfreude is the German word for the pleasure derived from the misfortunes of oth­ ers. It’s the feeling that leads people to like blooper videos on YouTube, the emotion that causes you to laugh when you see someone trip on the street and is the major draw for many reality shows. Portland’s schadenfreude- seeking queers found their ideal outlet with a local competition that pitted 12 contes­ tants in 30 challenges over 10 weeks to see who would walk away with a $1,000 prize, and their pride intact. Reenact the fun this year—watch a new cast outsmart, outstyle and outbitch each other to be crowned the queen of Discoball Island when Gay Survi­ vor Portland returns to CC Slaughters. Last year’s inaugural season of Gay Survi­ vor was a mashup of reality TV tropes—the trivia and puzzles of a classic game show, the physical challenges of Survivor and the ghastly gastronomic feats of Fear Factor. Clubgoers witnessed a rush to chug down seafood smoothies, a race to separate clear marbles from a tub of ice using only feet and a mad dash to capture dildos encased in Jell- 0 , among other ridiculous competitions. Season 2 will undoubtedly serve up 10 more weeks of stomach-turning food and gut-busting laughs. Under the expert hosting of Kevin Cook (whom you may know as the transcendently glamorous Poison Waters), at least one contestant a week will provide a show of losing powerful enough to satisfy even those with a highly developed taste for the embarrassment and misfortune of others. More importantly, though, audiences will get to track the rise of Portland’s toughest gay to game show fame and fortune.
