I agree, which is why I don't like Josh anymore for calling all Southerners "hicks." No one has called him any names. Keith also threw the whole South under the bus by saying there were no gays in Louisiana and that everyone "whupped" their kids, not to mention all his uncomfortable "jokes," about sleeping on opposite sides of the fire. I was really hoping the two of them would get a thunder storm. I don't like John Rocker but Natalie was screaming trash and hatred in such an over the top way, I was shocked. I can't believe they let someone from the winning team tell them who to vote off. I would have kept Rocker for one more week just to spite her. Jeremy must have never watched the show if he thinks one person can control all other votes -- particularly when they've been given wrong information. This is the worst season ever for me, too. Far too much time spent on challenges and not enough getting to know the players. This is supposed to be a social experiment about a group of strangers getting along in tough circumstances. Now,the survival aspects have gotten easier and easier and we have people who already know each other crying and clinging. What is this mess?

Dudley/Dooley played Fisher in "Lark Rise to Candleford," where he was so dreamy he had his own romantic music whenever he came on screen. Consequently I expected him to play a much bigger part here! I also want to see something happen with the sexy kitchen wench and more shenanigans from Katherine. Come on writers! Step up what you have, I don't really want new characters at this point.

I wondered about Katherine's husband, too. I thought the whip marks looked too red to be old scars and wondered if Katherine had done it herself, although that would be awfully dark for a masterpiece selection.

Looking on the bright side, I did enjoy the modern house, the good looking actors, the over the top scary gypsy woman and Miss Marple's hilarious snoopiness. She says, pertaining to the missing gypsy, "I'm not sure she went away willingly, she left her purse on her tea table with a great deal of money in it, and her door unlocked." Hee! Miss Marple do you hear yourself?

Seth really killed three people, his wife, her baby and the poor man next door. Imagine having schizophrenia and living your life in fear that "they," are going to come for you -- and then one day five armed deputies come up the driveway for you. Seth had nice parents, loving in-laws, friends and a pretty good job, and yet he was ready to commit murder, just for the sake of getting his hands on the office hottie. These criminals are so incredibly dumb, Seth's 911 call was some of the worst acting I've heard and this series has had some doozies.

Now I feel free to say that I think Frankie is as fake and shallow as Big Brother, "village," tarp. I know it won't hurt his feelings because it's just words and only actions count.

I really like Val and I really like Jeremy except for all the "protect my woman," mess, but that's Blood vs Water's theme and the reason I hate it. Last time we had to listen to Rupert's slobbery speeches about his wifie and the newlyweds who couldn't stand to hear a word against their beloveds. The concept also leads to things like a spoiled girl making her mother sacrifice her game for her -- something Mom had clearly already been doing for years -- and Jeff getting all turned on over it like it was Survivor's greatest moment. Yes, my memory is both long and bitter. At least we have Exile Island instead of Redemption and don't have to sit through a long talk and a challenge there at the beginning of every episode. My early dislikes are the couple from Michigan who are out to show the world they aren't as perfect as they look -- which led my eyes straight to their noses, because nothing makes flaws jump out at me faster than people bragging about themselves. Similar dislike for John Rocker's Alpha-loving Beta-Female who was out to show the world she was more than boobs, minutes before showing the world all the boobage that is legally allowed on TV. My favorite show is back!

That part was so sad, where the daughter said she had changed her name over the fact that her father had included her picture in the hit package. If a man who earns that much money was ready to kill his ex-wife over the relatively small amount of alimony she was asking, I guess he wouldn't have minded eliminating his daughter before college tuition came up. Sometimes it seems like the more money they have the more every penny means to them. These shows often have me quoting Marge Gunderson at the end of Fargo. "And all for a little bit of money."

Oh I enjoyed that one, too. I watch for the opportunity to visit other towns and snoop around in other's lives a bit -- I really don't want to see children hurt or gruesome torture -- so this tale where no one was murdered but bad people got punished was perfect for me. I loved the way Morrison was slyly ridiculing the secretary/mistress. Criminals who attempt to use the name of Jesus as a, literal, get out of jail free card, irritate me. What better revenge for the wife than a stand-up career making fun of the cheating, murdering, buffoon of an ex-husband?

All this time I thought something was wrong with my dag-gum computer.

I felt a little tearful through the whole episode. I guess that's the problem with a season where I kind of like almost everyone. I loved seeing Caleb's parents, what a cute little boy he was and still is. I just realized Derrick's baby's name, "Tenley," is from reality TV. Tenley was a favorite on The Bachelor a few years ago. Now, I'm hoping reality TV will furnish the little family a half million along with the baby name.

"Just cleaned this place last week and now it's completely trashed!" All across America women are saying, "Story of my dag-gum life." That was fun to watch, particularly Caleb who was heart broken over things like his mouse trap (for the imaginary mouse) being set off. I've tried to hate Caleb for Amber's sake, but I just love him these days. I may stalk him.

He's an interrupter. If I made the rules that would be a hanging offence.

I'm guessing Mountain Dew in his sippy cup from six months on.

That's why I can't watch Scarlett Johansson in anything. Gweneth Paltrow's nasal, whiney voice is why I can't watch her. I used to be able to tolerate Diane Keaton, although she smiles too much in all her roles, but now that she's older her giggly little girl thing really grates. A sixty-something woman shouldn't need her girl friends to egg her on to go out with a man. That's a rom-com cliché I'm heartily sick of in any case. Amy Adamsalways seems smug and smirky to me.

Come on now, Lacy, you can't blame the other women. You entered the show in a five ounce bikini and four pounds of make-up. I understood why the first morning when she was shown bare faced and looked like the raccoon might be her father. Marcus probably hasn't noticed and doesn't care. From his height he looks down at long eyelashes, modestly lowered over triple D implants, and just thinks about how kind she is. I'm happy for them though, they truly seem to be on the same page, reading at about fifth grade level. Poor Robert was in a tough position from the minute Sarah zeroed in on him. Unless he wanted to be more reviled than Kalon and Jesse combined, he couldn't break up with her. Neither could he sleep with her unless he planned to propose the next day. I couldn't help but notice the double standard with Michelle doing the very things she had attacked Jesse for last week. Talking about someone's physical attributes, bragging about positions and crudely talking about what was done in "every corner of the room," while they were alone. I think Cody seems sincere but I expect Michelle will be back next year licking her lips and pontificating for the camera. Loved the "where are they now," ending. I'll be back next year.

Buh-un sounds like baby talk to me, too, but I think it's far more common in the north than the south or mid-west, so it's weirder to some of us. Yep. I was amazed that it took him so long to guess why they might be booing Christine. His first thought was that she might have been talking bad about him behind his back. Poor dumb Cody thinks everybody loves him as much as his daddy does. Caleb is growing on me. His awe over the country singer and Jeff and Jordan was kind of adorable. While Frankie pretends to be excited over everything, Caleb sincerely is. I also think he's put up with Frankie's excessive hugging and touching quite well. You can tell it makes him a little uncomfortable but he tries hard to hide it. I think underneath all the bragging and delusions he's a pretty nice guy.

He has embarrassed me all season but that was the worst. I'm beginning to think he, and maybe his sister, secretly dream of being porn stars. Derrick, I know you're playing brilliantly but when it comes to voting day Caleb may not understand or appreciate a Brainmode game. This has become so boring. Eighteen minutes of people saying, "I really have to win this veto." Followed by a bunch of scripted stuff. Whatever happened to the premise of Big Brother sitting back and just watching people? I would seriously rather watch 18 minutes of Victoria putting on her make-up or someone cooking slop than anymore of these samey diary room speeches.

I think women like Jackie are the reason plastic surgeons don't sign their work. Those bags of saline were designed to be covered in flesh thick enough to hide the sudden change in altitude and any little wrinkles of the bag itself. With a girl like Jackie who has zero body fat, it's probably going to result in a look that's rarely seen in nature no matter how skilled the doctor. I noticed on Sean's season that Jackie had really bright eyes and a very pretty face. I just think she'll improve when she gains a few pounds. Maybe she and Zack will get married and have muscular babies who don't talk until first grade. He seemed a little better now that he's with the woman of his dreams, but that long hesitation before he speaks always makes me want to put a crab down his pants.

I agree Christy let Michelle talk her into making a fool of herself. The best thing to do if you find out a loser you dated is trash talking you is to hold one of those memory-eraser fountain pens in front of your face and blank him out. Then if someone says, "Jessie is talking about you," say "Jeffie? JessIe? Who?" and change the subject. Jesse's invitations are probably all to the sort of event where you come home with steak knives and a time-share by a lake in Chicago. I guess Marcus is there to prove the other extreme. A few months ago Andi was his ideal woman, a brunette, non-traditional woman who loved shooting and sports and had a law degree. Now his perfect woman seems like she probably had to have boyfriend help to get her GED and is terrified of ladders and bats. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Still in high-school determined to take the captain of the football team away from the head cheerleader just to prove she can. Run away Robert, she only dumped Dylan for you because all the women wanted you that day. Odd isn't it? I think maybe Lacy is what happens when a sallow, olive skinned, dark brunette decides to become a blonde.

I'm guessing the dreamy doctor was drunk and somehow let the detective's son die. Now he wants the doctor's wife and son as replacements -- or something? The preponderance of peignoir negligee sets is starting to seem like a running joke. It would be fun to see them topped off with nurse Matron's chiffon cap.

You nailed it, Beadgirl. My mother was an extremely happy, well-read, busy, creative homemaker, back in the day, and my father was not a patronizing jerk. He actually painted watercolors while she landscaped the yard and the neighbors didn't ostracize them! I'll be watching part two tonight, though. It's Sunday, it must be Masterpiece. I can't help myself.

I thought Christine's Tim looked like Roy Orbison. Maybe he can sing. Maybe he can find someone who respects his feelings enough not to make him look like a sucker on national TV. Then again, if Christine was my daughter I would have been all, "She's just affectionate with everyone, people are taking it the wrong way, it doesn't mean anything, yada yada." They can yell at her after she gets home. I think Donny's biggest "mistake," was not being in the HOH room when Devin declared everyone there an alliance. I think BB Advice #1 should be: Be everywhere during the first few weeks. If Donny has watched BB all these years he must have noticed that the winners are not usually the nicest people. I'm always surprised when people get this far in the game and then expect to get to stay based on "I didn't do nuthin' to them." Donny has cast quite a few votes to evict by now and most of those people didn't do nothin' to him.

Victoria seems to have an unreasonable fear of hurting herself and it's ruining her competitions. This is why girls should play sports! Of course, she should have gone straight for the $5000, but her brain is afraid of hurting itself, too, and I don't know what might have helped with that. I've developed a soft spot for her, she's just that pathetic. Donny's best skills are wasted cleaning kid's toilets. With his slow talking, sincerity he could sell sun-lamps in the Sahara. I hope his parents will watch him on, "Bold and Beautiful," even though it's not, "Gunsmoke." At least they sounded like Jeff had talked them into watching a few episodes of, "Big Brother." It looked like Derrick's wife has lost her baby weight while he's been gone. Cute! The baby girl, too! I have to hand it the Detonators for pretty much keeping their alliance together this far. Now it will be fun to watch them blow themselves up.

Well alright then, Bugs. I probably dreamed it like I did Chris Bukowski's long legs.
