  1. Saw this tonight. The emotion, strength and self-sacrifice to become these warriors was amazing in real life and the training and choreography needed to act it on screen was impressive. It is a powerful story, well told and very well acted.
  2. Almost forgot about Cody and how excited he was to find out that Justine was a salesperson since he could point out how untrustworthy they are, he explained untrustworthily from his point of view as a salesperson. LOL Proving your own point there I guess, buddy. Hope all your elevator customers are aware. That's just his way of livin'
  3. My favorite character of the episode was the beautiful octopus they showed coming back from the commercial. The crew continues to give us stunning nature footage. As far as the people; I like Ryan a lot. He's smart and focused. No one on his tribe named him when they were talking alliances, but it's early so hope he can get something going. Sammy really did blow my mind with the savvy number solve- I just did not see that at all. And it's funny to watch him try to play down his skills, like after he got the fire going he kept trying to deflect that it was a team effort. He seemed annoying at his first confessional, but he grew on me.
  4. This was the best episode of the season in my opinion. The humor was still absurd, as it is intended but also funny. I liked Orly's storyline. And the other interns learning the ways of bureaucracy was good. We all feel your pain, kids.
  5. I want to like this show- I like the premise, but it is SO DUMB. You have Ted Danson and Holly Hunter and this is what you do with them?!
  6. The Amazon Medusa commercial is back in rotation- ugh. Guess they paid so much for all the special effects that they want to get their money's worth.
  7. That whole game was painful. I was hopeful in the first round when they'd banked $9000. and seemed competent. But it went downhill quickly. The final round was embarrassing, with the former wrestler and the nervous guy in the suit trying to out-fail each other.
  8. Not sure if Maryann will be able to make it through another tribal council if they go back soon- they all know she doesn't have a vote until all 3 advantages are played and that once that happens she has an extra vote. If I had been her I might have only pretended to look for the idol just to keep less spotlight on me. But don't think that's her style. But if anyone could pull off a bunny eating lunch in a mailbox story she's the one. (But really, what the heck with that- Mike gets to talk about soccer in a somewhat ridiculous way, but bunnies and mailboxes are definitely way more off the wall)
  9. Jonathan is Aquaman! He looks and certainly acted the part in this challenge. Other than him, watching the rest of the challenge was stressful. It was like waiting to see who drowned or got a head injury from being thrown into the wooden pole by the waves. All while Jeff narrates how impossible it is. That tribal council was explosive in the way the overage of twists works against the players as well as blowing up the entire tribe's games. Any semblance of loyalty, except between Hai and Lydia is pretty much gone.
  10. Well, you certainly did call it. I found the opening scene the most jarring. The overreacting of Russ' 911 call and the zooming in on Betsy's body laying on the floor. The dulcet tones of Keith Morrison help but it's still so campy.
  11. A good start with lots of interesting players. And since the players I'm not wild about are on the blue team maybe they'll manage to go to tribal a few more times. Really thought I'd like Rocksroy, but that bossy, lecturing dad is going to get him voted out sooner rather than later. Was Jeff posing while the one guy gushed about his excitement during the opening beach scene? So odd. During the second challenge it looked like Daniel may have hurt that shoulder again. He grabbed it a couple of times in the boat and then didn't even lift a puzzle piece with that hand while he and Jenny were working on it. Hope he's able to overcome it.
  12. What, Akbar? You're finding it difficult? You need to move!!
  13. Dusty said he'd made cheese before so thought they'd fly through it
  14. I'd make cheese over working with a mule, but apparently that wasn't the way to go.
  15. We came very close to losing a racer on this leg when one of the twins ran out in front of a bus. Looked like a pretty close call. Of course, if Akbar was my husband might have lost him this episode, too. When Sheri was done with the jump and he said that he couldn't say anything to her now that she had done that, my first thought was "Can be even make it to the car before he's griping at her." Certainly couldn't make it through the next challenge! I believe the gnome may have rolled his eyes at Cayla's sausage reaction.
  16. Noticed they had switched out the boys at for kilt song as it went on. And the two that were there for the last try for Natalia and Arun looked they were over it. Poor kids. I still have "Donald, where's your trooosers" stuck in my head! Looking forward to next week and seeing how the time away impacts everyone's race techniques. And any noticeable changes to the structure of the race itself.
  17. Just hearing the theme song made me happy. And a 2 hour episode! The mail rail was interesting and apparently more challenging for some. What's really odd is that they had just watched the flight attendant dig to the bottom, grab her clue and leave. Then they spent another half hour stacking envelopes and opening boxes? Even if they couldn't see what she grabbed they knew she wasn't doing all that. Anbar needs to stop. His story of the school that he runs was so inspiring- you cannot tell me that is how he is motivating the students and staff. He needs to bring some of those skills to this race and be encouraging for Sheri. Sniping is not a team building skill.
  18. They did a segment on robot pets this morning that was downright creepy. I can actually see some therapeutic value of a slightly animatronic version for ill kids, elderly dementia patients, etc. But most of these are pet replacements that are actively tracking your behavior! And encouraging children and adults to become emotionally attached and compassionate to these electronics. But the creepiest of all were the round, gray fur pillows with the moving tails. There wasn't even an attempt at a face. Just a furry circle with a mechanical tail. So strange to think of cuddling up with that and considering it with the same regard I do my cat!
  19. Dr Ike was a cult leader of a small, segmented cult. Often a cult leader does truly believe their own spiel because their ego won't allow them to think less of themselves. Most of us can justify our actions, especially once we've gotten away from having accountability for some time. The longer we get away with bad behavior the easier it is for us. And Marty's need for help and his desire for acceptance made it even easier to take advantage. Ike called him "Easy Mark Markowitz" as a way to convince him to stand up for himself, but then he ended up being the one to exploit him most. So glad that Marty was finally able to find his way out.
  20. The grains of sand on DeShawn's eyelids are making me anxious. They're going to go in his eye!
  21. Our local camel escape made Talk of the Table!
  22. Yesterday's show was good, as usual. Liked the Maggie Gyllenhaal interview. She is a unique actor (and they showed a clip from one of my all time favorite movies, "Stranger Than Fiction"!) and now I'm interested in seeing the movie she's directed. Her thoughts on how she became a director were inspiring. Good story on the people from Santa Claus, IN. We need more like them. And next week they showed a clip from one of my favorite bands, For King and Country. Looking forward to that.
