It was a fine episode for me because I'm always here for the interpersonal stuff.
Venus lecturing Maria to the point of making the mature, unflappable Maria flap? Interesting. I couldn't tell what Venus was saying, her fast choppy talk is usually indecipherable to me, but I also hate it when much younger people give me unasked for advice.
Kenzie and Tiffany are such a good team. I really liked them mocking Q the way two sisters might express frustration about a brother. I feel the same way about Q, I want to tell him to shut up and he's not the boss of me, but I find him loveable some how.
Charlie is my darling. He had me with the salsa dance. I love his sense of humor. His teasing of Q by pretending to not understand the alphabet game was hilarious.
Tevan is so much more than than the flamboyant actor I first thought he was. He surprised me in the challenge and by his willingness to let Soda go.
Tim seemed sullen and grouchy to me this whole game and then, one minute after he's voted out, we see his beautiful smile and meet his good natured side. Where were you Tim?
Hunter's mustache deserves special mention.; so even, thick and tough. I have a scrub brush that looks exactly like it.
I really like everyone now except Liz who can take her fabulously wealthy awesome self on home anytime.

Here's a "wiki" type of article that provides a lot of info about Trixie's childhood.
That's a very interesting site!
I'm still confused about Trixie though. Yes, it does say her father was a bank manager and she has titled relatives.
Then it says, during Season 4, Trixie "finds herself dealing with a case involving four children who live in appalling conditions whilst their mother is out trying to make a living as a prostitute. For Trixie, this proves to be a painful reminder of her own childhood."
That must have been where I got the wrong idea.

I thought she was lower-middle or working class. Didn’t her father work in a bank?
Well now I don't know anymore. My memory is of an episode where the nuns were going to shave the heads of some children with lice and Trixie talked them out of it because she remembered the shame she had felt over that situation. Maybe I read too much into that.

I carry a sheet of paper, folded up to the size of my insurance cards. It has a listing of my medical history, current doctors, AND a list of my vaccinations, boosters, etc.
At 77, I can't remember s**t, so if a doctor asks me whether I've had a shot for something, I pull out my paper.
Same. I'm so old I can remember when the doctor kept the records for us and told us when things were due.

Even if Matthew can handle Trixie being gone for three days and nights straight, I think that would be horribly hard for Jonty to get his little head around.
Long long ago there was an episode where Trixie said she didn't plan to do such hard work for her entire life, but felt she was doing her duty now, but later hoped to live a life of comparative ease and luxury.
I thought that was fair and honest of her. She grew up very poor.

The requisite mud puddle was at it's very worst last night. it was in no way earned, as it sometimes is, by those most willing to crawl through something they could get over more slowly some other way. It was just a mandatory, deep puddle they were forced through, and then it covered people so completely that I was having trouble telling who was who so i couldn't root for any one person. I think any added interest they were expecting back fired on them.
The worst thing about crawling through mud is the big chance of swallowing parasites and getting eye infections.

I have to hit instant replay about a dozen times each episode because I can't hear the conversations over the drums and that one horn making an "aaaaooooooh!!!!" sound. Even if they're just talking about papaya or whatever, there's all this dramatic music pounding.
It's the single thing most likely to make me quit watching. I miss half of what people are saying and last night it even drowned out Jeff, their star, at one point. It's not only turned too loud over the dialogue it's an incredibly stupid sound track from the beginning. Most of it sounds like someone hitting metal trash cans with a ball bat.

Q, not everyone is asking for your coaching. Him schooling Mo at Tribal seemed unnecessary and condescending.
Plus he simply repeated back to her the very thing she had just said about herself! My opinion of Q went way down this episode.
Moriah's exit made me sad and that rarely happens when I watch Survivor. I want to see a smug grin fall off someone's face. Next time. let it be one of the many men who thinks he's in charge. Or Kenzie.
What is up with Tim? It was funny how Q and Hunter were all set to take up their secret plan along with their plus ones and Tim was all, 'What plan was that, now?" His "let me think about it for awhile," comes across so shady to me, I wonder if others are going to mistrust him for it.

Having gone that long, they still could have held off another hour or so. Or just shared half of one pastry, while they waited. I wasn't suggesting it for the sake of politeness, but for basic decency and also camaraderie.
It was a huge deal they not only won, but won food - and he comes back to, oh, we saved you some.
Yes! For basic decency and camaraderie!
Without Q's determination at the end they wouldn't have won at all. After 11 days all three should break-fast together.

I'm almost done with my favorite show. There's the choppiness from too many plot threads, the deleted scenes and (sorry) so many accents I can't decipher. I just feel lost.
Trixie's bad driving was tedious and Not Funny. Almost hitting a baby carriage? Hilarious?

Am I the only one here who no longer looks as row upon row of self storage units (that seem to multiply like un-neutered large dogs) without inserting some profane adjectives before saying "storage sheds"?
I think the town closest to us now has one shed per house, and the sheds continue to multiply, faster than houses are built.
Oh yes, my street mainly consists of older retired couples. Yet all our houses have, three car garages. So we should all have plenty of garage space for mowers and rakes. Nope. We're the only house that doesn't have a shed in the back and our yards would look so much prettier with out them. At least they make a nice home for possums and ground hogs.

I've seen that case on Friday on another show but can't remember which one. Pretty brazen of the mother-in-law to just shoot her in the parking lot in full view of so many people, including the baby. In a place like Georgia where so many people have guns, nobody tried to stop her as she walked away?
They would have been very foolish to try and stop someone with a gun who wasn't hesitating to use it. In fact I was surprised at all the good witnesses who weren't afraid to watch carefully from inside their cars. I would have been under my dashboard.

I can't figure out how Bhanu the super-fan has managed to watch every single episode of Survivor when he was "born into poverty" and has only been in America for ten years. Did his hut get international cable?

Interesting AZ! As a person who is divorced and remarried I often wondered if there were still churches in which I wouldn't be welcomed. My present husband and I were married in a Methodist church by a minister who was divorced and remarried. That was forty years ago. These days the UMC is all shook up over the gay issue.
Cyril's church seems fundamentalist to me, plus it's the 1960's. London might be swinging but their churches weren't.

Bhanu will go through life telling people he was just too honest for Survivor, but a million brains saw that his whole game was a lie. So meek and subservient while Q was patiently coaching him, then complaining about people telling him what to do, begging Kenzie for favors then viciously talking about her behind her back, loudly praying to God all day long, then ranting at him for not getting to win Survivor. True believers don't do that, they're afraid to. So glad he's gone.
Will Venus starve to death? Usually it's the skinny young men I worry about, but this time it's her. And what's with the fish rewards? My fitness pal just told me my big 6oz filet of salmon is 140 calories. It's like they're being put on Atkins. Their metabolisms have now gone from idling on rice to fourth gear and they will be twice as hungry.
Then there's poor Moriah whose short Achilles tendons were never meant to jump. I found out in ballet class that your jump comes from being able to make a spring out of bending your knees with your heels on the ground,(demi plie'.) She can't do that.
Maria had the same problem trying to get the ring over the pole. She was starting too high. She needed to bend her knees and start lower to get that spring behind it. Q should have been there for both of them.
I love Hunter, he's great at everything, but so was Xander a few seasons back and we know how that went.

IMO, a HUGE anvil has already dropped on that, when he oiled Joyce’s bike chain.
I saw that, too! If he falls for her and gets a divorce, his little church would be very upset with him and may even "fire" him as pastor. Yet, they've all seen that he has essentially been deserted. It would all be interesting to me.

wonder what caused the salvation of that carport.
Death and re-sale I'm guessing. Long before this show, we would regularly pass a cute little house in WV, perched on top of a hill and completely surrounded by ten foot high piles of colorful clothes. I miss it now that normal people seem to live there.

Of all the irritating things about hoarders, that's the one that aggravates me the most. A few seasons back a woman looked into the camera and lectured us all about WASTE while standing in the middle of her sky scarpers of QVC boxes.
I really, really want someone to tell them that nothing is more wasteful than buying thousands of dollars worth of stuff they don't need and that there is absolutely no difference between a landfill and their living room.
I wanted some one to ask Coral how many illnesses she has cured with her mouse chewed dead herbs and why she has her stuff in her daughters' rooms and ask to see some of the "fabric art," she created.

I just realized that for the first time, when the baby was born, I didn't even tear up. Asking myself what would interest me at this point? I would like to see Cyril and one of the young nurses fall in love. Then we would get some conflict with the racism of the 60's and of course his marriage would have to sink or swim.

It was an interesting story but didn't really make sense how they wrote it.
I feel like they've been struggling for episode ideas these last few years. For me, nothing is ever going to compare to those first few years, set in the fifties, in the midst of Poplar's extreme poverty.

Forgive me for going back to last week's show, but I was really hoping to see the oil leak mess in the basement.
And this week I was hoping to see some rats. Did they get the rats all out before the stuff went back in? I also wanted to see the cat who produced all the hair. We used to always get some cat footage and a good shot of pickles.
They sure did go from piles of filthy junk to a clean house in a short jump.
I think the reason we see so many totally whipped husbands on this show is that the stronger ones would never allow their wives to wreck their homes the way the level five hoarders have done. They would have put a stop to it at about level three for their children's sake.
Many of the women are stay at home moms like Coral and the husband not only has to let her get away with failing to do her part in the division of labor (housework) he's giving her enough money to create the hoard.
I think Jade had a crush on Julio. I noticed the way she looked at him.
Well a few weeks ago I mentioned all the ill fitting bras we see on the Hoarders, Coral and her daughters seemed to have solved that problem.

One or two clicks to turn on the cc. I have to because of Shealah.
My dumb TV puts the close caption inside a tall black box and runs it right across the middle of the screen covering the actors' faces.

I didn't understand anything Doreen said and missed some of the other's lines. I don't have very good sound on my TV and it's really hard when the background music over plays the dialogue, so I'm best off watching it on my computer the next day.
Good story with the young woman having cerebral palsy and her nice boyfriend alongside the abusive husband.

Sounds fun, but when did a new story, written by a screen writer, become a masterpiece?
S46 Ep. 7 "Episode Several"
in Survivor
Yes, it reminded me of when she was showing her sensitive side, crying over something, then paused to ask if her tears had made her eyes look extra blue. Last night, she was telling us how caring and compassionate she always is, then ruining it by saying, "That's how I make my money!" Hee.
