I'm a savant in some categories but they'd be too specific for this show, like X-Files, or Game of Thrones, or ABC soaps, lol. I would choose mythology if they'd allow it, or classic rock. I loved the Idioms category last night and knew them all, although I'm side-eyeing some of them being idioms (objects in mirror may be closer than they appear??). The few text clues they've had are easier for my brain to comprehend quickly than the picture clues. Some of those are hard to get without context, like a life-sized golf tee, lol, and some are hard to see, period. I could barely make out the white air pods. Anyway, I'm loving everything about this show and hoping Fox renews it. Go Steve!

Cory voted for himself. Kyland didn't get a vote. Cory's on the bubble with Jay, he basically said in this episode that he's only sticking with him for now because Michele has been advocating for him. Now that Jay is pissed at Michele and Cory helped secure Asaf's fate with his burned vote, I expect to see Cory be the next of Jay's alliance to go if they're in a similar position as this episode. Ed and Emanuel will be pushing hard for it of course I just hope, now that teams are done so presumably only one daily winner will have safety, that the other side will be able to finally send Jay's smug mug home. I'm at the point where I can't stand looking at him.

Yes, it seems Emily succeeded in convincing him that Julie would be the target for the four non-Rebas, and that the Reba 4 would be splitting their votes between Bruce and Jake, in which case, numbers-wise, Bruce wouldn't need to play his idol. Emily said in her interview that was her strategy. When they showed the votes at the end, 3 Rebas voted for Jake, with Julie voting for Bruce, so if Emily had been sincere and not simply gaslighting Bruce, Julie would have indeed gone home. It will be interesting to see if Emily takes credit in the immediate aftermath for her part in Bruce not playing his idol, possibly risking Julie's ire, or keeps that nugget in her pocket for a potential F3 speech.

Uh, no. The only person who would claim that is Monte himself, lol. Not to get too off topic but that couldn't be further from the truth, Taylor 100% earned her victory and the jury was genuinely thrilled for her, not "bitter" towards Monte, who was pretty meh and kind of forgettable on BB just like he was on the Challenge. Josh, yeah I'll give you that one, lol. Paul lost more than Josh won.

I was embarrassed for the show, embarrassed for the houseguests, but most of all embarrassed for myself for watching it. No one looked amused.

This article someone else linked here previously explains that the contestants must be "directly" related to their celebrity relatives. It implies they made an exception for Carly. They probably couldn't resist the Tom Hanks connection, to the point where they basically sabotaged her with the obvious clues, lol. https://people.com/claim-to-fame-rules-contestants-have-to-follow-7642217

You might think so, but no, Styx isn't yacht rock. Awhile back, without knowing the precise definition but having a vague sense of it, I told my co-workers that yacht rock was "schlocky music from the late 70s and early 80s". They were kind of offended, lol. When I think of the epitome of a yacht rock artist Christopher Cross comes to mind. Oh, here you go, this is pretty interesting: https://www.houstoniamag.com/arts-and-culture/2019/07/this-is-the-definitive-definition-of-yacht-rock

I hear you, On Demand is a last resort for me. If you don't want to wait till tomorrow, you can try ABC's site. It was commercial free for me. You have to sign in with your provider, but they accept streaming providers also, not just cable.

That was Reilly and Jag.

Not gonna lie, I was pretty excited Pluto is streaming live feeds since I haven't watched them since SEASON 2. So far all I'm getting on like 3 different cameras is Red and Cameron having a very earnest conversation about burping. Red can burp at will. Cameron knows people who can't burp. Or something. I turned the TV off. Live feed recappers are the unsung heroes of civilization.

Right? Lol. Almost unfair when you have A-listers likeTom Hanks and Alicia Keys where one clue gives them away, then you have Olivia, whose relative could have had the whole wall filled with clues about her and she still would have flown under the radar! If she'd won, Carly would have been so mad, lol.

We came so close to getting two wrong guesses in a row! Dang. Although I'm glad Cole went for the sure thing. It was his only smart option. Everyone else's faux outrage and exaggerated shock is ridiculous, they all would have done the same. It's fascinating watching them interpret clues incorrectly and then see everyone's confirmation bias kick in. Gabriel even chimed in with his story of how Jeff Gordon was so popular with his mom's friends in North Carolina because he was from there. Only Jeff Gordon is from California, lol. He moved to Indiana in high school but he never lived in the south. So, sheep: Dolly, shrimp: Tom Hanks, tire: Dale jr, planet: Neil diGrasse Tyson, cheese: Cole, burger, Gabriel (who gave away his relative in his interview by saying it was Good Burger), and for the rest I have no clue. Which of those remaining is Eddie Murphy or Chris and Hugo's relative? Speaking of Hugo, did anyone figure out his clue? It looks like "commander in chief who farms ??" I can't tell what those last two circle things are supposed to be. They don't look like peanuts, lol.

Oh yeah, good catch. Cup driver is more accurate than champion. Dale Earnhardt jr was wildly popular and a great driver but he never won the cup championship.

"Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO barely charted in the US. The 70s are my decade and I feel like I know ELO's catalog pretty well, but I didn't recognize it at all. Boo to the show for that one. As for "Layla", it's one of my favorite songs of all time, but I was barely able to get it with that weird clip they chose. I felt for Heidi when she was all, "Layla?? I know that song!" I was super happy she pulled it off at the end so they could win some decent cash. They impressed me with their breadth of knowledge and their quickness.

You are right! I corrected my post above. He said he lied about his brother winning a championship, not that he lied about his relative being his brother.
