I liked Tarzan, but he was an idiot to tell AK. And there was no need. If he had just blind-sided Locky, he'd be gone and then Tarzan/doctor chick could have teamed up with AK/Jarrod/Ziggy the next day. They only have to last until a tribe shuffle, which I'm sure they will do to avoid the boredom of a Pagonging. They are reporting not good ratings. Looks like it has been dropped down to 2 night a week versus 3! :( I hope it doesn't get canceled.

I'm sure Ken recognized that those parents did NOT have the wherewithal whatsoever to deal with that situation. And certainly not in a way a week at the Betty Ford family program is going to fix. But what can he do?

Yay! Just got caught up. Love AU, NZ and SA Survivor. Not as many "models" casted and more old school. Plus 3 nights a week gives you a lot more time to get to know people and see more strategy talk and camp life. I was surprised Jarred went to bat for AK, but he deserves another chance since the poker dude could not even find the idol WITH the clue. ...but he'll probably prove too much of a "player" to stick around.

Just got around to watching this one, cuz I knew it would be disappointing. But holy crap, I way underestimated just how disappointing it would be. And now they are going to subject us to a "green mile" episode next week?! Like we are capable of caring about anybody?! I don't know any of these dancers, don't feel like I've seen anyone really dance enough to where I am rooting for them, and have only grown to dislike many of the all-stars and their participation in this "fake" academy round. I feel bad for all of these dancers. I know they have to play polite and thankful, but it is downright insulting the way are being treated.

I am bummed to hear Dave was offered info on how many were left during his medical visits. If they did that again last season, that makes it especially heartbreaking for ones medically pulled when it was down to 3 or that poor girl at 2. Maybe they think it will encourage some to tap early and end stagers to hang on. But Brooke made a big deal this epi to say how much it bothered her not knowing how many were left. So... (?!) Do these shows follow the same people year after year, or is it a competition format? Can one jump into the current season or do you have to start at Season 1? Which show is better?

Jesus God. This show is a regular fucking Public Service Announcement for burn victims and people with scoliosis --letting you know that your life is ruined, you are a monster, an ogre, "the stuff of children's nightmares", and will pretty much have to stay in hiding because people will barely be able to stand the sight of you. ... ... Not exactly as positive as the Shriners Hospitals or Anna's blood disease PSA's, but hey, at least they didn't advise to just go kill yourself.

I wish they all would've fattened up more beforehand. Heck, even on Survivor the returning players know to come with 20 extra pounds, and they get fed all the time. (Maybe the producers could throw in a "Reward Challenge" since they've already ruined this season.) :) Call me a softie, but I was hoping the boys were gonna save their ill-fated crab trap. Sneaky was looking mighty suspicious by the boat. Maybe he was sick of hearing them bicker too and tampered with it. I do hope they come to some sort of realization/redemption, although they are probably too starved to do that now until either near-death or after the show. I don't think they are bad guys really, just doofus squabblers.

... ... I kinda gave Jessie the stink eye too during the hug. I mean, it was a whole set about Rayna, and seemed like a family moment. Can Deacon's back up singer with the black fringe jacket be a character. He looked fun. Maybe he and Will could have some fun. Glad Avery remains comitted to his marriage. I do believe he would attract a ton of attention. I mean, he certainly does around here! PS. I really don't need to hear Rachel Bilson sing again.

This is fucking torture. How long will they torture us with Sonny not dying. When they started that demolition countdown at 30, I was like, wait, what the fuck happend to 10! They always start countdowns at 10!!!! Nooooo!!!! My God, the humanity!

Had to laugh at Derek's extremely insightful words of advice to Fikshun: "So, you're using this bench ... you could be on it, or over it, or under it." Thanks, I'm sure he never thought of that. Hated to see the sad look on his face when he got shafted by those insulting scores.

Well dang. But the minute they picked the surfing thing, I knew that was going to be too much for dad. That last fall looked nasty. Glad it didn't seriously injure his neck.

Is Piph gone, cuz if not, why not give her those couple lines about the ring? Oh wait, no, I forgot, they are trying to fill the screen with the most people possible that we do know or give a shit about. So, Finn and Griffin are bros now. Sorry show, 2 x 0 is still 0. Just like Dante and Nathan, their entire friendship consists of solemnly telling each other they need to go home and get some rest.

Jesus God, how many weeks has Sonny been in the hole grimmacing, and he just now figured out he could maybe stack some barrels and climb out. Dude is fucking brilliant. The mobster prayer circle, just

I don't think Zoe liked Marcus much. She barely looked him in the eye when talking to him and had to laugh and/or cry during several of their interactions. At the store opening, he just HAD to drag her over to the two ladies who were instructed to tell her how much they LOVED THE CHOCOLATE PRETZELS!! Zoe was practically wincing as Marcus pulled her in for a "see how right I was/let's celebrate my rightness" hug. She sucked it up as best she could for the sake of her family and company, but I'm guessing she was glad when he hit the bricks. I would have had to stifle laughter at the new branding presentation, too. Marcus going on about how the Flex guys put so much time and hard work into it and what a great job they did was absurd. It was truly like they spent two seconds googling "Greece." And if Marcus was not going to let Zoe stick with their niche menu of flavors, why push the Greek angle anyway. Most people do not associate chocolate with Greece. ...Mmm, these pretzels are covered in Greek chocolate!

OMG, I don't know whether to impeach the President or thank him for interrupting this show almost every other Goddamn day! I missed the last 10 minutes, did Sonny explain how he sees so much of himself in Avery? Good Lord, y'all, could anyone BE more narcissistic?! Good to know he was ready to make Mikey the new mob boss, if'n he weren't all sweet on Mikey's momma. Dad of the Year!! Did anything happen at the end? Please tell me Garvy died before disclosing Sonny's location.

Having grown up with brothers, the brothers don't seem that bad to me. Sure, they can be assholes, but when the one got injured the other one cut the bullshit and shifted into concern right away. If they travel that much together, they must actually like each other. Brooke, I can't believe I am saying this but... "Listen to your husband!" I will give her the benefit of the doubt though, with her background, and trust she knows her limits. Also, what were their rations? Wheaties? Cuz they are still powering through some major hard labor and were not shown eating much. They totally must be going through their rations. They never show contestants eating rations. Pete and Sam, too cute. I'm jealous. I never once giggled with my dad.

I will pay whatever ransom they want to get Will back! Kind of a sleepy episode. Poor Gunnar has not had it easy when it comes to the womens in his life. As least he looked stylish rolling out of town. Hope we don't have to listen to too much Jessie and the evil ex bickering. If he was so crap, why all the super sappy break-up songs about him?

So, the police chief sends an officer to warn a mob boss that a rival mob boss might be in the area. Wow, that's super thoughtful. You never saw that kind of concern on the Sopranos.

That whole convo with Diane/Carly/Sonny was bizarre and hilarious: "He's over the moon!" "It's his passion!" "It's the thing he's been waiting his whole life to do!" "He's ready!" ... ... Jesus God people, he did not get accepted to be on Masterchef, he is becoming a fucking mob boss.

Are people complaining on FB or Twitter or wherever it matters these days? I just wondered, cuz I'm not on social media. Maybe it will have some impact if the masses revolt. It really has become So You Think You Can All-Star. I didn't mind when they brought them in at the top 10 cuz that seemed fair enough and no one had to be teamed up with a perhaps inferior partner anymore. Plus it gave us all kinds of variety and great male/male and female/female routines. To have the same dancer with the same all-star all season will be way less exciting and could be very lop-sided. Not to mention, people will just vote for their favorite all-star. And, oh my god, the journeys ...we will have to hear every week about their fucking journeys as partners. Ugh.

Jesus God, this show. I don't think we got to see more than 2-3 seconds of continuous dancing at any point without a cut away so we can watch the all-stars sit in chairs and say extremely important things like "wow!" "yeah!" and "woah!" It's so very entertaining to see them sitting in their chairs, saying the same things over and over and occassionally glancing at either. Who doesn't love a good glance.

Psst Sam ...SAM!!! He's wearing a vest! Make it a head shot! Don't hesitate or get all fucking chatty, just take the shot! TAKE THE SHOT!!! Also, kudos to Mac for being the first one who seems to be able to pronounce the 'k' in Ask Man Landers.

I have more respect for the kid who just said, "Fuck it! This sucks! I can't do it!!" and started crying. If you are going to puss out, then puss out. Pulling the "family first noble tap" bullshit after two weeks is not fooling anyone.

Can we go on the road with Avery and Gunnar and have Will and Deacon drop in? And then never come back. Jessie did overstep. I can't imagine hearing from a friend that their relative (whom I'd never met) had a misscariage and then taking it upon myself to bring vitamins and iron pills and shit over, in a gift bag, with pink tissue paper! Even if I'd been through it, I would certainly check with my friend FIRST to see if it would be appropriate to reach out. Scarlett sounded downright Irish in that last song.

Dave was wearing too much foundation this episode.
