Kyle has beautiful eyes, and so does Teeny--but I am most impressed with Teeny's flawless skin! I actually sometimes have to rewind because I am always observing out loud how beautiful their skin is.

Cargarita! I said ewwww when Jeff, in the bumper "wanna be on Survivor?," stuck his finger in the PB that the three players had been digging into with their grubby paws.

Toenails disgusting; Kyland and Tori impressive; Bananas and Laurel whiny; elimination interesting concept but mismatched and I didn't like the chance part. My favorite part was the goodbye between Cory and Nehemiah. I hadn't realized they had gotten so close but they did seem to have a great deal of mutual respect and a true growing friendship. I also enjoyed Cory's talking heads where he didn't want to hear Bananas go on and on about himself and where he didn't want to hear Josh and Michele sniping at each other either.

I thought it was interesting that it paralleled (Gabe?) saying that Sue and Caroline were like wounded birds a few episodes ago.

And oh yeah, on the topic of Kaycee's skills(?) with numbers--she was supposed to karma-point people from 1-5, and I forget who it was that she said she was putting zero for. Perhaps joking, but? A silly personal reason besides her boringness that I don't really like watching Kaycee--her hair pulled that tightly back gives me a vicarious headache! I mean, I know it's because of her athletic background and part of her personal aesthetic, and the look doesn't bother me except it looks so tight! I hope she doesn't get traction alopecia! Maybe she gels it down and it's not as tight as it looks. Or maybe my scalp and head are extra sensitive. Heh. Lantern7, Just FYI, I also watch both Survivor and this, but I save Survivor for when my kid is available, and they generally are at their partner's until Saturday...so I'd appreciate no spoilers (not that the above really is except that it hints that Andy and Rome are still in. Ugh?)

Especially when she asked if Kyland was "really the human calculator???" when I didn't notice her getting more solutions than he did....

Speaking of blood, often when I see Rome's lightning shirt from the back (how is it still so clean?), especially after a physical elim (last ep, not so much this one, heh), I think he's all scraped up and his entire back is flayed.

Christopher said (paraphrasing) that the best strategy was to "survive and advance." uh...yeah? Andy pretending he was embarrassed because he tore his Achilles tendon on the dance floor on Mystique when Mick Jagger was there was a little much. They did so well in the challenge though, and good for Nina. I hope one of those three (the winning team for the challenge) wins.

Yeah, I've said this before--talk about the opposite of having a "type." She also had a relationship with Wendell from Survivor after they both won their seasons but they had broken up before Winners at War, which made their games awkward. And wasn't she kind of into Emanuel just during one of their seasons? Indeed, range! (I'd say that with the exception of Calum--sorry Calum--the other three are pretty smart guys, so at least they have that in common). Oh, and Jay. Ugh, Jay. I guess their dating period was brief and ended before ride or dies. (had to look it up, heh).

Not to me at all, because he has a long face and JJ had a round face, which is the very first thing my brain notices about people, though their extra broad grins are similar. He has the same long face and red outfit (heh) as the current iteration of Jake from State Farm, though. So because Rome suggested to Sol that Sol draw the continent, and then did it himself, Rome has shown Sol that he voted for Asia. (I assume he only did one vote--don't remember how long his steal a vote was good for?) Elsbeth is checking whether Jeff has dropped his balls, I guess.

What I saw, on only one watch through, was Laurel saying to John, "you know how the pesky younger sister is poking at you in the car, then you smack her, then you get in trouble?" which I don't know whether Cara could overhear or not, and then soon after, she commented to someone else who has kids (didn't quite catch whom) something about "you know what annoying redheaded toddlers are like." That, the cameras implied Cara heard, as she was around the corner, and it showed her rolling her eyes or some such reaction. Of course, they could have shoehorned in footage from beforehand; but technically Laurel was "away" from Cara, just saying mean things within her hearing.

Re Derrick, we saw medics and they let him keep hopping, so I assume it wasn't broken and wasn't something that would get him pulled from the Challenge, but it would have been nice to hear "It's a sprain" or something...we at least heard what happened to CT after the water crunch! Nice of Laurel to keep snipping and snipping at Cara every chance she gets, about redheaded toddlers or whatever. The M/D/J drama--Johnny lied to Devin's face, which is not surprising, but I don't get why Olivia, who talking-headed that it was a lie, didn't back up her purported BFF. And then the John talking head near the end about how everyone's a backstabber blah blah. Yeah, you are. Josh is going to be so betrayed later on, I just know it. John going on and on about heaping on the guilt. Uggghhhh This time they at least made clear that you can't put people in back-to-back--I don't remember that being said before.

Definitely, and/or that they had more than one session. They need it to be long enough for people who are all "hey don't call me out!" but can't immediately respond because then everyone will know it' them, so they need a buffer of another comment in between.

Oh yeah! I didn't catch it either (sorry!) and wanted to know but couldn't bear to rewind to see more of the fight than I needed to.

Yes, still watching, yes, still dislike the cliffhangers but am enjoying the people, especially that Andy and Dillian think they are running things when they are not. Also enjoying Jack's hair getting wilder and wilder. Wondering if they will switch "handles" again next ep.
