I didn't mind the body parts bit, but I felt a little bad for Kyle getting laughed at by everybody for saying his rough patch on his hand was a callus when they all pegged it as a wart. He got rather worked up. Thing is, I thought I had a wart on one of my toes and it didn't respond to treatment and I finally figured out (I think it was from a Dr. Pimple Popper video!) that it was a myxoid cyst (joint fluid leaks out from a joint and forms a "bubble" but that bubble can have kind of a rough surface). His seemed to be next to a joint so I wonder if it might be that. With Thomas almost losing an eye from that pole (his wound in the previews looks nasty) and David diving straight into a net (could have really hurt his neck i his form had been a little different) that challenge was a lot more risky than I would have expected one like that to be. I reaaalllly wanted to root for the Philly gal, but she's making it hard. I did like Cedrek's face when he asked her if she could hide her emotions and she said yes.

When I paused my recording, I noticed that Corey and Big T have the best smiles. That's it. That's all I got. (other than internally screaming at Amber for being so gullible).

I wish I could see a screen grab of the scars chart...I would like to do a count of the locations and see if it encompasses the three-four bit-part ghosts who were the other regulars at Mr. Martin's sessions, and/or the non-Quinn band members. If there's a pattern that they have to follow, what happens when Dawn's scar becomes a heaven-like portal instead? Can they not get through it to the next scar? It's all too much for me, heh. LOL at ghost-Anderson and his golf balls.

Even if that description is like 30% true (and I have no reason to doubt that it is way more accurate than that), this is gross on Shep's part.

Molly has an orange cat! Molly, stick with your orange boi and don't drool over Shep. He's not worth your effort. I wonder if Sienna, after the dog birthday party, had had enough of the cameras and then when Shep tried to encourage her to stay while he changed, I wonder if she realized (or it capped off her realization) that there was a lot she didn't want to show on camera, and one was hanging around while Shep was in his underwear. SC fan or not, would Grandma approve?

Not for the poor spider!

I liked Paige's hat, the goats, and Molly's photoshoot. And Venita brushing Charles was okay. The end.

The producers, probably: "Hey, Salley, wear your tan knit dress to the tuba concert!" Taylor: arrives in tan knit dress Salley: arrives in tan knit dress Regardless of how Molly arrived on the show, I still find her more interesting than anyone else, and sharing her connection to the old band director and her love of music (and last week's rescue-dog-walking) were lovely odes to her character. Otherwise: go, bait fish that leapt to freedom from JT's nerveless grasp! Also, poor long-dark-haired pal tagging along with Whitney, who just seemed to be in the way of all the people who wanted to dramatize at each other. And LOL at Whitney busting JT's minifridge door.

Yes, yes, and yes. I loved the dog being named Turtle. My impression (not going to rewatch) is that the "this season on..." etc. teases an upcoming Venita/JT relationship, but that other than her stopping by and checking out his place, it has not begun in episode time.

Definitely tons better than his usual look. Unfortunately we got one of his other "usual looks" when he turned around and showed his (fortunately suit-covered) butt to the camera. What is it with him and butts and toenails...Poor Maria Menounos did nothing to deserve him blowing toenails everywhere. What a brat (J, not Maria). Poor Nehemiah.

I don't mind emory for a girl, but...Elle, Emma, Emory? I guess the 3rd needs to have the nickname Maury ;-) will the 4th be Ellery?

I know Kyland isn't everyone's favorite, but in addition to having a gorgeous (and frequent, even in last place) smile, he seems to be one of the kinder challengers, helping Michelle out of the water, etc. (and as I commented last week, thanking all of the checkpoint accuracy checkers). He could be cranky and bitter (coughBananascough) about the swimming never giving him a chance, but he wasn't. Jordan's talking head on the coconut water was funny. Poor Tori doing all that coin counting, singing by herself, and still getting last. ETA the two "swim through here to a beach/cave" locations were absolutely gorgeous.

One person did have them stacked, which is what I would do, but laying them out in tidy rows of individual coins seemed too time-consuming.

I'm a little confused about the coins--they kept saying they had to count the coins, not total their value up, but then why did at least some of the challengers have coins laid out on top of their chests? I don't dislike Kyland, and I liked how he thanked the puzzle checkers frequently, but I didn't need him to pee on the sign and then helpfully explain that he peed on the sign. Yes, I kind of figure that's what you were doing. But still better than seeing John's pasty butt. He is so fond of mooning everyone. I think I heard Derek thank the station checker too, and maybe one of the women. I did laugh at Derek at the end, counting down the ways Jenny seemed to be losing it, and ending with "and why is your hair like that?"

Yeah, this is where I'm landing too. I think his "I'd never say the B word because" and tells the mom story was actually genuine. He seems to have a ton of respect for his mom and her opinions. That gives him a little leeway in my book, even though he's such a doofus. Better a doofus than a mean girl. Craig looks so young in those earliest flashbacks. And the editors were just thrilled to get a chance to replay the "Austen covers his junk while yelling Madison! Madison!" scene, again, some more. From last season I thought I wouldn't want to see JT inject insulin through his sweaty workout shorts...but seeing a stretch of his hairy haunch was not really better. At least dealing with diabetes is something other than dra----ma. It's really tedious to watch Taylor stare at other women etc. etc. Almost rather see the hairy haunch. Or watch a whole hour of the also-tedious pool skimming by Craig. (and I see enough animals sniffing each other's butts IRL with the # of cats I have--don't need to see the dogs doing so too. Good for Rodrigo and Tyler adopting senior dogs but I'm tired of dog-centered parties.)
