  1. Pete is really an aware dude, checking himself on his irritability and the miscommunication right as it's happening. Under these conditions, that's pretty impressive.

    I think Brooke did self tap. The way the crew ran up on them with cameras to get the scoop did not seem like they had pre-told them a medical tap was imminent. She is a hella tough lady and reached her limits. I do think the new shelter created a deficit she could not come back from. 

    As I watched this episode I kept thinking, wow, the brothers are being respectful, supportive, thoughtful even! --the forum will be crushed.  giggle.gif

  2. I'm okay with it. Yes, I  had to hear Maddie's song AGAIN, and Zach/Summer became yet even more totally inexplicable, but Avery didn't crash in that stormy drive back home, and Gunnar told Scarlett off (in hushed tones), and Will spoke more than a couple words, and Daphne didn't go all emo about Deacon & the new chick.  I hope next season they will focus on music and simple life drama.

  3. Thanks guys! I don't live in Oz, so I will have to figure out the episode #'s for the reveal days through an episode guide or something. Is it 3 episodes a week? If I find one I can just do math (oh no!)   

  4. Dear Show: I think you have officially recouped your investment in that super thrilling location shoot. Please stop.

    I think Sam LITERALLY kissed Sonny's ring. 

    When is SB supposed to come back? OMG, if that is what I am clinging onto in the hopes of anything remotely interesting happening, these are seriously desperate times.

  5. Hi Retro! I tried, but holy crap, it moves so slowly! When I watched the first whole hour+ episode and no reveal! Ack! So, I don't think I can hang with this one. I like design shows, but with more the pacing of say BBC's Great Interior Design Challenge. I might enjoy just the reveal/judging episodes, if those are on a certain day each week. 

  6. 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.

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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... (?!)

    I'll continue to catch The Last Alaskans and Life Below Zero and that's about it.

    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?

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. ... ... 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! giggle.gif

    PS. I really don't need to hear Rachel Bilson sing again.

  14. 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!

  15. 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. 

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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!

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
