Beach Party

I watched a couple of Ariana's music videos expecting to see Frankie appearing as a dancer, but didn't. However, the one she released this summer for "Break Free" has an introduction that Frankie would seemingly write: "What you are about to witness is scientifically authentic. It is just one step ahead of present day reality and two steps ahead of present day sexiness. Prepare yourself to attempt to conceive an inconceivable outer space adventure. Brace yourself for something so fantastically fantastical you'll soil yourself from intergalactic excitement..." Or maybe Ariana has the same personality/style as Frankie. I, however, cannot see any glaring physical resemblance between these two half-siblings.

Was Penny's engagement to Leonard the sign that she gave up on her acting dream to settle down?

If Ariana did get votes for Zack, Frankie will now delude himself that those votes which put Zach in the Top 3 were really for him. By the time Frankie was evicted, Frankie's/Ariana's followers probably still stuck around to watch who would win on finale. Frankie was also shown in many episodes (if not all of them) after his eviction. Plus Frankie's eviction was satisfying to the large contingent of viewers who disliked Frankie. Win-win for the show's ratings. Didn't Julie say at the end of "The Talk" yesterday that Big Brother will return for Summer 2015 and Summer 2016?

Derrick told the HGs he worked in Parks and Recreation. In Derrick's June pre-game interview with Rachel Reilly the name "Leslie Knope" was brought up. Derrick didn't know who Leslie's character was. That was kind of funny to me!

I respect Cody for remaining loyal to his alliance with Derrick. In the short run, Cody misses out some prize money and fame (bah! the small stuff in the grand scheme). I foresee Cody going on to an amazing life filled with strong friendships. Cody is a winner in my book.

There was tension between Penny and Leonard over her quitting The Cheesecake Factory. She got that big role along with Wil Wheaton. I kind of recall something went bad, but Penny was making progress a least. Then Leonard and Penny got engaged, and TPTB drop Penny's dream?! At least they mentioned that Raj and Emily were still together, so we know the writers didn't change their minds about that plot line.

I think Victoria has a slight chance of winning the $500,000 if she ends up in the Final 2 (especially sitting next to Cody). Most of the members of the jury were part of a system of "voting with the house." They could now feel like sheep that were herded all summer, but now they have one last voice. That's the only way I could see the jury throwing votes to Victoria: to spite the whole system.

Penny's pharmaceutical sales job interest confuses me. What happened to Penny pursuing acting full time? Was that resolved last season?

I asked a question above. So I'll try to answer someone else's question: I believe the math genius said that he hadn't spoken to his parents in ten years. The waitress lady had a quiet introspective moment of realization, which to me implied that she didn't want the same outcome in her relationship with her boy. ETA: that math genius looks like a big lovable teddy bear who will grow on the audience's hearts.

Question: While in the airport tower, they were not able to transfer data from the plane because of the speed. They ended up using the ethernet cable to transfer the data. But the sports car was right under the flying plane for many seconds. Could they have transferred the data wirelessly while in extended close proximity to each other (instead of using the cable)?
