I died at the opening car chase.

I'm just confused because Phi Mu celebrated their 162nd anniversary this year so the celebration in the episode has me scratching my head. Unless it was shot before March 2013 and they could claim it was a celebration at the end of the 160th year ... ??

I'd love it if they cast people who could cook and we could see some actual decent stuff from them. I think it's why I enjoy Masterchef more - it's a lot more fun watching people be competent than it is watching people suck and being expected to believe they're in the running for a chef position. Really?? I just don't buy it anymore.

Dave and Connor are acting like Brendon and Rachel cheated somehow. They used a tool available in the game! What the hell is wrong with that?! It pains me to say that Rachel was right - if they can't handle that, they better stop racing. So juvenile. I am so sick of Leo and Jamal's shtick with their "magic carpets" and bullshit.

Susan, who left last episode when she was feeling ill - she was pregnant. It doesn't seem fair to fault Nicole for that - I'd like to see them bring back the last eliminated model (regardless of which team she was on) to join the team if someone leaves for health reasons.

Clyde the Shark was awesome lol. I've missed his tortoisey goodness. I like that they brought in the hackers again for a great callback. Died laughing at the thought of him singing Let It Go in that outfit lol. And I double love how Joan is all "whatever" and doesn't even bother to view the performance lol.

I thought rolling pennies looked relaxing lol.

It took me forever to realize the female cop was Jean Benoit on NCIS. I couldn't place her and it took ages for me to hunt down who she was.

I think the idol power will be that you can present it after the vote is read. I think that would lend itself to some great tribals IF the person who had it kept quiet about having it. The blindside expressions would be awesome lol.

This is only the second episode I can remember where the unsub got away at the end (the other being the child killer/molester on the Appalachian trail). Am I forgetting any others? Also, all the horror movie feel in it was great considering Tobin Bell's run in the Saw franchise lol.

I don't really like Nell-as-Hetty either. I think it's because the actress is so young looking, and the character has come off as having limited field experience (whereas Hetty is ... well, Hetty lol). It seems like a job that would require a lot more life experience and understanding/bonding of the team. Nell's reaction at wanting the Kensi pic off the screen was totally something I'd expect from her ... but not from the operations manager. Hetty had to keep it under wraps until the mission was done, even if it meant looking at upsetting stuff, and I just don't see Nell being there yet.

The scene when their helicopter first landed in Afghanistan looked exactly like the opening to MASH that I wondered if they filmed in the same place. Some great stuff with Deeks - I love it when he saves the day lol. I'm disappointed in the Jack situation - I was hoping it'd come out that he was with the Taliban and not that he was a good guy. Daniela Ruah was great at the end.
