Best ending to a reality show ever! I 100% knew that Sam would vote to steal, but I waffled about Blake. Camille is my new hero.

With one exception, it sounds like their "alliances" were where other teams were helping them.

Well, it felt like the fact that she was a helicopter maintenance technician was going to be important later on in the episode, and so it proved.

It was originally edited for a 60 minute timeslot, then due to the writer's strike they had a 90 minute slot to fill.

"Drive to Peru"?

Wherever he finishes, I bet Hunter adds standing on one foot while floating to his Survivor practice regimen when he gets home.

Don't they have a nanny?

Oops! I will go back and edit that.

Don't forget about the current Survivor season where Jelinski insisted - insisted! - that everyone knows that "several hours" meant "seven hours". But I have had a slight change of heart about the Twins' Elizabeth Taylor remark when it occurred to me, as a comparable example, that although I have heard of Taylor Swift, I could not name you a single Taylor Swift song. (Billy Joel lyrics are a different story entirely....)

Her immunity in this challenge protects her if she's at the bottom, but it doesn't prevent her from winning again.

Can we go back in time and pretend Seasons 3 & 4 do not exist?

They should have brought Production in to clean that spill during the prep time. That was a safety issue, full stop. One chef almost fell, a second one did fall. There's no excuse for that.

"That'll make the cut!"

Because they don't seem to understand it's a REBUS.

Damn, that was a lot closer than I thought it would be.

Unless Hunter gets the gray rock. ETA: Just wanted to say that if I picked the gray rock, I'd choose whatever team Hunter was on for the win. ETA2: : "Just do your thing, Jeff."

I always wonder if years down the line people will regret getting that many tattoos.

This was without a doubt the best episode of the series. This is what I expected from the entire show: a behind-the-scenes look at fashion. But it left so many threads hanging (pun not intended, but it's a good one). From the beginning, the show was set up as a duel between Dior and Chanel in 1955, but we never go back to 1955. Chanel is arrested in Switzerland for being a Nazi, but obviously nothing serious comes of that because in 1955 the students at the Sorbonne aren't even aware of that. A couple of facts about Chanel I got from Wiki: 1) the deal she re-negotiated with the Wertheimers did make her the richest woman in the world, and 2) when she closed her couture house during the Nazi occupation she put about 4,000 people, mostly women, out of work.

Hah! I thought you meant it had started filming, not that it was airing! Thank God they're someplace where they can bow hunt. ETA: Thanks for the link.

I couldn't even listen to it. Once she said "She died in front of me and she died horribly" I fast-forwarded to the next scene.

That was Charlie Berens, you should check out his YouTube stuff, he's really very funny. He plays into the Wisconsin/upper Midwest tropes, like being super polite, hating people from Illinois (like me) and shopping for every occasion at Farm and Fleet. However, he disappointed me here, he seemed really out of his element. Maybe he was just there for the beer, although based on his videos I'd say he was more of a Leinenkugel's guy.

From the Milwaukee Journal:

And...... still no fashion.

My sympathies to Sunny on the death of her grandmother. I really thought she was going to complete this leg and then leave. Colombia is beautiful.

Who the heck did the casting for this season? I would prefer some more teams that are actually capable of competing in this race.
