Craphole Island

Damn I love Sharon and Emily VanCamp but I realllly don’t think it makes sense for her to be the Power Broker? I feel like there’s gotta be more going on. Like maybe she’s a Skrull or something? Lol I’m grasping at straws but I just don’t want her to be fully evil. On the other hand I loved the Sam/Isaiah scenes and I’m excited to see more of John Walker. Wyatt Russell was great. And I need more JLD!!

Lol I did notice Kendal’s skin but I assumed she just had some sort of skin condition. I still think she looks amazing. Also Katie and Beth look the EXACT same. It’s crazy. Ace is still so hot to me. Was sad to see him leave but it almost felt appropriate based on his prior seasons lol. Could never stand LT. Ge was always way too intense and nowhere near as good as he thought (or as good as he looks like he would be). This was 10000x more fun than the most recent seasons! I’m pumped for the rest!

Oh man I actually like Gabby but that was soooo dumb to not go down. Also agree with the others: Free Nam!! His “I’m rooting for...Amber” followed by his little smirk was the moment of the night for me. And I kind of have to laugh at Kam saying that if she were in power, she would try to make peace with her enemies. The last 3 weeks of complaining and targeting Theresa tell a different story lol.

Theresa really lives rent free in Kam and Nany’s mind. They could not stop talking about her and she literally doesn’t seem to even think about them lol. I kind of feel like everybody was so dramatic about Theresa throwing Kam in. I was kinda loving Theresa’s villain role though so I was bummed she lost. Kaycee seems cool but she is incredibly boring.

I think that Theresa made a good move, personally. It may be short-sighted and it probably wasn’t good for Jay but she made sure there was one less strong girl there. I appreciated that she actually made a move as I feel like everybody plays a scared game these days. There’s also a 0% chance that Ashley would NOT have voted in Theresa if she won IMO. I kind of think everybody’s a hypocrite. They’re just upset when these things happen to them. As far as I can tell, Theresa had no real ties to Kam and Ashley so I feel fine about this move.

I’m so pumped for this season. Iceland is a beautiful location and I’m excited to see Darrell and Theresa return! Never thought they’d be back. Plus no Bananas?? Love it.

Yeah and you can feel that bond even within the comments of these Instagram posts. Jenna, Chris, Dianna, Kevin, Amber, Becca, Jacob, and Chord have been sharing the other cast tributes and commenting on each other’s posts. Specifically on Chord’s post I saw Jenna, Kevin, and Dianna call him Chordy and Chordoroy and well that’s just cute as hell. But genuinely Naya has left behind such an impact. What a loss.

Chord’s post: https://www.instagram.com/p/CCou_8spLP0/?igshid=19drfabe7ph75 (Sorry I have no idea how to post it as the actual image?) Heather also posted that she’s taking some time. I know none of these people owe us any kind of post but it’s comforting to see how much they genuinely loved her and all of their tributes have been so thoughtful.

These tributes from the cast are really getting to me. :(

Damn Brad can still get it.

Love Tom Hanks and loved his speech. Not gonna lie I squeed a bit when he called out Meg Ryan in that list of actors bc I love their work together!

I didn’t really see Georgia’s comments that way. I took it as SHE wouldn’t vote for Nicole bc it’s her BFF. I don’t think that was a numbers thing. Also at the time Big T and Esther were looked at as the weakest. I’m wondering where the logic is for Kayleigh and Joss to vote Georgia in?? Their team finally wins and they look pretty solid and they STILL choose to follow along with their alliance on the opposite team?? That team isn’t going to help win you money at the end of the day so it makes zero sense to continue doing that. Plus Georgia called it out perfectly: Kayleigh’s a shit competitor so she has to rely on others to keep her safe. This was a crazy ep and everybody got on my nerves at one point but holy shit do I hate the Cara/Paulie alliance so much. I like Kam but otherwise yikes. I feel like Ashley is 90% the reason why Turbo got sent home. Also, I love Leroy but I’m disappointed he’s siding with them. The fact is he says he’s gotta go with the numbers but he would’ve had the numbers no matter which side he chose. I felt bad for Nany bc I love their friendship. Although, and I do love her, but Nany is probably the weakest girl on their team. Lastly I know Zach’s an asshole but I’m loving him this season *shrugs*

Bye bye Bananas! Happy to see him go. Even though I honestly believe he just comes to collect his checks nowadays. With that said, I genuinely cannot stand Cara and Paulie. Cara desperately needs a break.

I love Georgia, Turbo, and Da’Vonne so much. Just had to say that.

While I definitely think Bear probably actually is a gross asshole, I really do get the vibe that was trolling the entire season. Like he knew what the producers wanted from him and he just had fun with it. Whereas Paulie I think genuinely has no self-awareness about all his issues (of which there are MANY)

Ughhhh I want Cara and Paulie gone so bad. Also I did NOT need to see Kam puking like that. Lastly, good to know Hunter is still an idiot. And I can’t help it, I still love Georgia despite her Bear stuff and was so happy she voted in Paulie.

I appear to be in the minority but I’m still looking forward to this. I think the international trailer is better though: https://vimeo.com/320599488

Few thoughts: - Later Johnny!! First Ashley then Johnny?? This is shaping up to be a great challenge - I loved the challenge. It reminded me of an updated version of “Mudbath” from the Gauntlet - As someone who has recently been binging “Love Island” on Hulu and enjoyed Theo and Georgia there, I’m happy that they have been really impressing me so far! - Lastly I’m sorry but I really fucking hate Cara Maria now. It’s been brewing but it’s official now. Also to be shallow: she looks extra dirty this season.

Is it wrong to be VERY attracted to Caleb Foote, the actor who plays Eddie? Asking for a friend... Also, I love this show!

So while I have a lot of thoughts I just want to say, was anybody else missing Sheri in the last few episodes?? I was disappointed we didn’t see her rallying around Jessica and Clay with the others. Seems like she definitely would’ve been involved considering she played a role in helping Justin and trying to take down Bryce. Not to mention she was friends (or at least teammates) with Jessica! Marcus was also missing but was not missed.

I loved it! And I gotta say it was one of the most engaged audiences I’ve ever seen at a theater. They cheered at the kiss at the end and when the drama teacher took down the bullies. Lots of laughter and stone silence and sniffles during the scenes with Simon’s parents at the end. I thought the cast was great from top to bottom. I might go see it again! I have MoviePass so it’s basically free haha

I’m looking forward to Love, Simon and I’m hoping it does well and Nick Robinson becomes a star. I really liked him in the movie Kings of Summer and I actually liked him in Jurassic World. He’s charming and I’m hoping the new movie is good!

I believe the box office gross for The Greatest Showman’s second weekend actually IMPROVED by like 140% so that’s definitely pretty crazy and unheard of. l personally just saw it and loved it! It’s a crowd-pleaser, for sure.

I think Cara is incredibly entitled. Now that she's won a challenge she acts completely different IMO. Can't stand her or (especially) Camila. Im happy to have Veronica back and was happy she won but Kailah wasn't wrong. Girls like Jemmye and Veronica have skated by this whole season while Kailah has had to go into eliminations several times. Also either Kailah is getting a FANTASTIC edit or these girls really just hate her for no reason. I find myself siding with her in most situations this season. Jemmye is still good for a one-liner but she is bugging the shit out of me this season. Also that Britni girl is the WORST.

I kind of love this Robyn cover by Lea and Ashley Tisdale. Also it's kinda funny having a Glee/High School Musical crossover.
