  1. Tragically, I also sensed a setup for some C/M pitfall in this one. Injury boots one? Cant believe Alex has any defense after this ep. How dare Cody not fall for the things I admit with a smile to the camera are manipulations and think I'm against him when he catches me sticking to a stupid and obvious lie?! Alex has a very poor character. It's been ingrained in his head to be and that he is a "good" person, but he's merely a polite person, which is not at all a direct line to a good person. A little personal integrity would go a long way with him. They still have camps 8 - 10? A/G must hang on a bit, as two eps with just C/M would be boring, unless the setup is that C/M go at one another to get all the money in the end.
  2. Jeez, another "Let me endanger the nation to save my histrionic spouse" plot, again done right under Mullens' nose. It's one thing to not have any new ideas from the old 24, but this one doesn't have any new ideas from this one season of 24. Monster Terror Daddy in hiding for however many years. Come on! With Nicole now in CTU, I predict this season will end like Jack/Teri in S1. The mole (Rebecca) will kill her, leaving Carter free to grieve, dedicate fully to CTU, and endure a string of improbably sexy result-minded partners.
  3. I don't consider staying silent while your friends in power abuse those who aren't to be a virtue (or "a strategy" please!) in which one should take pride. It actually reads to me as more cowardly to outsource your abuse through a surrogate, especially if the argument is "at least Alex knew it was wrong." That makes it worse! I do think Alex is perhaps the only one of the dim Four who saw how this could potentially escalate if they didn't make some concessions to C/M. But again, he did nothing to stop his group. IMO you're not missing anything with the Alex articles. It's exactly the same hypocritical, oblivious, and thin excuses he delivers to us on the show, with the same shocking lack of awareness in evaluating his own behavior.
  4. Wait, so how is this final going to go down? The 2 Champs vs. 4 Challengers in the final worth a large lump sum to add to and ultimately split their team bank account? Then how do we get a CT/Nelson/Cory - Ashley/Camila/Nicole ranking? Who gets the team money?
  5. I actively dislike that pair. Alex is the only one I like and have since day one. I think the campers lost me that night Chris quit, after the Four denied them a tarp/tent and made them sleep in the rain, then when Chris told them that's why he was quitting, they told him bye from inside their tent and cackled as he left. At that point, the Four are actively trying to get people to quit by forcing them into the elements and controlling the buys, and no amount of whiny Alex talking heads about knives cutting both ways makes me sympathetic to his plight now. It certainly didn't help that the campers' single night in the rain nearly broke them in the next round. You reap what you sow. Hope C/M turn the screws now.
  6. On Naked and Afraid they do 21 days with virtually nothing and do far more work than these chumps do, so nobody is dying from this or from scurvy, with their cheeseburgers, subs, pizza, and rotating feasts. If C/M get that tent away from them/destroy it I give it a matter of hours before G/A go out. Both have already be shown to us to have a shaky resolve. But if it doesn't happen in the next few days, they'll be closer to the end and it will be harder to get them out, so C/M really do need to strike now. Agree the last couple camp switches will just be carrying the money. It might be worth it to splurge on a pizza that round just to not have to carry the cooking stuff. And I'm also sure one if not more of these switches will be flat out impossible to make, to up the blame game.
  7. Yea! After this week's delightful turn of events I have hope C/M can force A/G out and split a decent prize at the end. As it should be. Say goodbye to your every four day pizza and burger binge, bitches! I don't believe Eyelash's appendix diagnosis. She's already proven herself to be lying garbage, and you could see on her face she knew calling in medical was the way for her to quit/claim later she didn't want to flare. Bullshit. That's a quit, after days of poor decisions such as leaving clothes for the tide to take and drinking dicey water. I look forward to next week's barrage of Alex's awareness-free, weak-chinned interviews whining about how rude C/M are being. I'm sure MTV will give the temptation to A/G though to try and keep them in.
  8. Yeah, all these kids have severe issues that makes signing any of them seem like a babysitter taking home one of their charges at the end of the night. And that's taking the total lack of actual talent here as an absolute given, of course. Ian: Total douche. He reminds of one of those kids from O-Town (I'm old!) who was constantly bitching about being an artist and being too good for this cheesy pop shit. I saw a 'where are they now' on him and he's exactly nowhere, still strumming his guitar in his living room and saying nobody recognizes his brilliance. Having your kid live on his own in LA at fifteen is not the way for anything good to happen. Trust. And even artists of that type who do make it have short shelf-lives. Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Ryan Cabrera, all those AI winners...you don't hear much from them anymore. Cravetay and Deneen: Trash. Look forward to a future of endless baby-mama drama with third-tier rappers and being pimped out for tracks to alleged producers by mom. Grant: Maybe they should go country with him? He doesn't seem pretty/marketable enough to sell the pop thing. Dull. The blonde highlights are ghastly on him. Madisyn Or however she spells it: On the Rebecca Black/Dance Mom-spawn level. Nothing special; nothing to see here. Been made so insecure by Mom she's personality-free. Ashlund: Girl, please. Sounds like pure dogshit even with auto tune, a feat I wasn't sure possible before now. Maybe try acting with her? And please. These lifetime showbiz kids like Timberlake and Beyoncé have the education of North Koreans and aren't writing shit for themselves. Pharrell said point blank in the Blurred Lines lawsuit the artist gets a writing credit for doing nothing if you want them to perform it.
  9. Playing cards?! Three pizzas when it's been four days since the last one and they could be buying rice AND get temptations?! For C/M, it seemed to me Alonzo clearly only handed them the tablet to fuck with them since he knew his group would only let them get the PB (and now vows to get them nothing! Which, is kind of where all this started! Idiots!) I agree they do have to weigh spending the prize on supplies vs. keeping themselves strong enough to make the camp switches and carry the money, but the Four certainly are not being thrifty. And Alonzo was laughing in their faces during the buy, which led to the Cody reminder that they're the broke ones so he can do this tit for tat spending battle all the way through. Cody was a douche from jump/is now but has proven tough. Makani didn't start this way; she's beating the Four at the petty game they are consisfently stupid enough to perpetuate.
  10. Team Makani. Love how she's turning the screws to The Four Losers. If they weren't so goddamn pathetic, her power plays wouldn't break them the way theirs don't remotely affect her. They scant miss a chance to run some bullshit on her and she cuts them back 10x. If we're still voting one of these dopes into the Challenge, please be her. I also think all will maintain to the end at this point, sadly. If they do a next season, don't let them buy tents! That will keep garbage like Gina/Eilish from staying.
  11. This season is terrible, so I guess it really is a legacy with 24. How many eps have been spent now fiddling with this flash drive? And another Carter endangers the world to bait a bad guy out of hiding gambit we're supposed to view as heroic and not insanely stupid? At least Jacks insanely stupid plans usually only ended in him being tortured, not the nation at large. Are we sure Carter isn't the mole? I mean, I guess the main mole has to be Mullens/Rebecca, since we got that setup, but he has betrayed his country for his wife who doesn't even seem to like him several times now. None of these stories land. CarterWife-Bro are in cougar country, the family dynamics on the Smits side are too undercooked to play as anything but filler, and far away and easily the worst CTU characters of any season, certainly starting with but not ending at everything Andy. I'm surprised his character name isn't Gay McJewerson, since his only traits are broad stereotypes. Also, the Carter busts out of the chair to go for grenades was some of the worst staging there's been on this show. It took a laughably long time for that play out. And did we even get a token reason they didn't just kill him right away? And dont these sleeper cells know that they are sleeper cells? So can't they just make a Youtube vid saying "Flash drive gone. Activate!"? Ugg.
  12. Oh Jenna. As much as this is a pattern for Zach, we also heard she had this same dynamic with Jay (he cheated left, right and sideways, then decided she was awesome and wanted her back - because who doesn't need a doormat who will believe any lie you tell her?). She is a sweetheart, and I did feel bad for her when the Gossip Girls were turning into the evil whore like they did Kailah, but that was also hilarious and I love Amanda and Ashley so Im not too heartbroken. Zach is fake as fuck. That hidden footage of him saying women were created to serve man and his home affect in the self footage are the real him, id bet heavily. No quote love for "You came in, pissing all over the place, working out - that never helped you in the game, dude"? I don't watch any RW anymore so I don't know any of these people's awfulness from there, but I like Sylvia and not kailah from this so I was happy with it. I do remember Shane not fondly and this is confirms that. Love Darrell. Ashley K is a waste of a champ. They don't even bother to give her TH. Goddamn, Tony is dumb. He won't age well, either. And I also wondered what this "from day one" daddy awesome bullshit is when he had the kid last season and was a horrible mess. Because he's still with this baby mama, it's different? He's hopeless. I like Camila, though. She did have a rough go last time and I actually believe she's not a psycho in reality. CT is making the Timmy transition to maudlin coach. Make him the host (doesn't TJ want to be a fireman or some shit?) and move on. Cory lives in my neighborhood (so does Jordan, eh) and i wouldn't want to fuck with him. He is jacked and pretty tall in real life, so I'm pretty sure his only strategy is to beat people if he goes in.
  13. No quote love for "Nelson's stroke game is weak!" ?
  14. Kelly Osborne calling something brilliant is like The Elephant Man telling us of physical beauty. English or not, have the education of a spare tire. Simma dow, nah! Was happy Tyler made something not shaped like a potato sack. Izzy is awful. The whining is relentless. And instincts tell me there's likely a reason why most clothes have the brand on the front, not the back. "I'm not interesting, but this plant on my head once was, sort of." Take away the lights and her outfit was something Michael Meyers would slaughter babysitters in.
  15. Uh...this might mean something were I not actually able to, you know, see and hear them with my own two eyes and ears. Others found them to be that way -- allegedly, second-hand-- I do not. But if true they must be hella stupid to let the show make them look crazy, as "niceness" may well be the only asset either has going at this point.
