Well, I was trying to watch the comp with a cup of coffee. Instead, just swirling colonoscopies. Did someone else drop? Pluto is so behind.

I just slept 7 hours and I'm still tired. I'm impressed with how long they're battling this out. I was not expecting to still be able to watch this with a cup of coffee this morning. Who will have the most interesting HOH of the three still standing? Sounds like Cam...but ugh.

Kinda mesmerized by Izzy. I need to go to bed, but I'm instead watching a group of silent people in the dark who have to pee. ETA, Izzy's out? I'm just getting a Pluto commercial:(

This will be riveting TV. Tremendous. Hope they include the random zoom on the chicken eye. Red looks pretty comfortable so far.

Well, this is slightly less fascinating than I was expecting. Is there a reason we have a Trying to Sleep cam going? If Felicia is alone, she still can't get the lights off? I'd be so thrilled to be alone for a bit if I were her. Actually, I an finding the Felicia cam more interesting lol.

I randomly tuned in for the eviction, and Hisam's quiet interview voice is completely reminding me of Stuart from MadTV. So randomly weird. He's furious lol. Plays the honest card, then gets called a liar in the goodbyes. Hi Kaysar!

He is extremely direct and knows how to throw people of their rhythm(tm Mulaney). It's amusing how nervous Jag is, and trying (and failing) to keep control of the convo. I would not want to get into a debate with Hisam, lol. He's good.

Oh, Hisam. Snitches get stitches, dude. I really liked him, but he's gotten old fast. He's being so condescending. Just play the game, and stop getting all high and mighty about everything. I am not at all opposed to Cameron having to sweat a bit though. Hisam saying "character" twice in his convo with Cam. Ding! Hisam is intense in these conversations. lol.

I'm glad that BB actually (probably) did something for once. But seriously, people how hard is not be a complete and total asshole? See ya, Luke.

Did something happen to make Reilly start crying? Oh, I finally get to see the Cam / Reilly thing, maybe. But oh the feeds test my short attention span, as much as I want to watch them. ETA, ok, I've listened to Cameron for 5 minutes, and all I'm hearing is Ricken from Severance. Except creepy.

Ugh, this internetting is hard. Trying to edit my post, not quote myself like a weirdo.

I can finally watch the feeds for 5 minutes before work, and Cirie and Felicia are talking about the couches outside being impossible to keep clean. And my neatnik heart relates so much. I love my sleep, but I'd also be getting up early for coffee and 15 minutes of peace and relative quiet. Luke is joining Cirie outside.

All I remembered from last year was delightful Taylor, but thankfully now, the ass kissing and ass wiping memories have rushed back. Thanks all lol.

Officially split, like a twist? They've made this a very busy season already.

That was such a hilariously entertaining trainwreck. I really can't stand Julie Chen-Moonves, but watching her .exe glitch out on live TV truly is a summer staple. Acting like his hand was cramping up, lol. That "pulling" competition and the puzzle comp were interesting choices for the live show. I was half expecting no one to solve the puzzle, even as simple as they tried to make it. I'm already confused by the theme of the show so far. Too many verses. I liked much of the cast on initial viewing, but if BB has taught me anything, it's that I have terrible reads on people. Izzy and Cory were a lot, but overall the cast seems kind of interesting. Cameron's (non)reaction to the inane laser sketch had me rolling. He seemed to be questioning most of his life choices to be there at that moment.

He's still exercising...I appreciate the dedication but play the game, dude. Glad Bowie and Jag are in there too at least.

I've watched for 10 minutes and I'm already annoyed by the constant running faucets in the bathroom. So wasteful. And get off my lawn, kids!

Oof. I was kind of liking Reilly in the first episode. But what a downer take from her. Is Hisam bonding with anyone? He's another I liked and will inevitably be disappointed in lol. I have to root for my fellow senior citizens in the house.

Dotun seems really cute. And John, Xavier, Warwick. It's nice seeing a lot of the guys have jobs other than personal trainer or medical rep. So many of the guys are just bland though,so far. Charity is stunning, but maybe not crazy enough for reality tv. Her vibe is very calming, and I can totally see how she is a therapist. I hope she ends up with a good guy though. I hate the stupid competition dates though. I visibly shudder when Brayden is shown or speaks. Gah, what a predictable shit stirring tool.

Everything I like getting the axe! Back to Apple and Hulu, I guess.

So disappointed but glad we had a reasonable ending, all in all. It has nice to have something interesting on TV apart from yet another FBI or CSI show.

I think Kaity is great, but I don't know if the Bachelor was the show for her. She seems like she really needs to address these issues. I tend to think she's more in love with love and stability than Zach, especially given how little time they've really had together. And it is interesting how much leeway the show gave her, with the more intimate stop by her house, and playing house with Zach. Yeah, she's so obviously the F1 unless something happens. I'm so curious about next week, but yeah, I have to assume they get intimate, and Zach tells the other 2 what happens. I laughed so hard at that. And also when he was asked why one of the women (Ariel?) should pick him, and he couldn't come up with an answer, lol. Bobby may have been intense, but as far as I remember, the questions weren't unreasonable. I think Charity is awesome, and while I am not a crier, I can empathize with those who are. Especially in the circumstances they're under filming the show. Her mom and dad were adorable, and HELLO to Charity's brother! I adore Ariel. I'm torn with wanting to see her stick around on TV, but also wanting her to flee from this trash franchise. She doesn't need it.

Well, this was a short, intense and brutal episode. I agree with so many of thoughts already posted here. The highlights were the beautiful scenes of nature reclaiming the land, and the giraffes. Joel literally getting to lay down his arms and breathe, even for just a few minutes. His face when Ellie told him she'd follow him anywhere. Her joy at seeing the view and the animals. The line about it wasn't time that healed his wounds. And then the rest of the episode happened. Not being one who played the game, I was just pointing at the TV going "Chrissy from Growing Pains!" Obviously I missed the bigger connection lol. I still agree with some that the season was so well done, but could have had an extra episode or two. I almost feel like we didn't get a ton of time with just Ellie and Joel. But what they did have, worked. Marlene....I also think Marlene's fatal (literally) error was not allowing Joel and Ellie to talk, and not giving Ellie a choice. She herself said Ellie would want to try to help with a cure, so why not let her make that choice? And has she MET Joel? Marlene may have not expected the bond between Ellie and Joel to form, but it didn't even cross her mind that having lost a child, he might have had some sort of issue with them killing a child, let alone one he spent weeks / months escorting across the country? And count me in on viewing the potential for a cure as tenuous at best. Perhaps a bit more backstory might have helped, as to why they believed killing Ellie was the only option, especially if it sounded like she's been the only immune ever. And yes, how were they going to mass produce and distribute a cure? Was it actually possible, or were the chaotic fireflies deluding themselves because they couldn't accept the alternative? Have they tested others? Tried other cures? Joel...the scene in the hospital was all the more effective and sad with the gunfire muted. It was like he completely left himself while he killed. One goal, one mindset. Killing those who were trying to surrender was unconscionable, but like Marlene, they likely would kept coming after them. Still horrible to watch, even it was a decision that many could understand. I don't think he would have survived leaving / losing Ellie, but who knows how much he emotionally survives what he did. I love this cast, but I think S2 may be a hard watch.

I thought this was a lovely episode. It seemed pretty clear to me that Ellie likely had to kill Riley, as others have mentioned, due to comments from Ellie in previous episodes. I didn't need to see it happen though, so I'm actually glad they didn't show it. It still seems like (if they wanted to include more in the season) that there is a lot more story that could have been included. I would have loved 12 or 14 episodes this season. Everything still feels very rushed. I didn't quite feel the connection between Riley and Ellie, though they were very sweet together, and I would have loved to seen more of their friendship and relationship, and life in the school together. Seeing Riley get drawn into the Fireflies, while Ellie starts getting a future at Fedra could have been an interesting episode. The lead Fedra soldier was interesting. But overall, the episode was sad and beautifully filmed. Bella is really an amazing actress. Seeing her actually happy (her expression when the mall lights up!) before her life falls apart, again, was so sad. She really seemed like the kid she is in that moment. It was heartbreaking too when Joel was telling her to go, and his expression when he initially thought she was leaving. And then the hand squeeze at the end. And I couldn't even watch the stitching up scene. So much dirt. So much bacteria. I'll just pretend there's a magically still functional bag o' antibiotics lying around. Such a great point. Carrying a constant reminder of such a horrible night, and likely having to deal with a lot of survivor's guilt and "what ifs."

So confused by the timing with COVID. How do they not all have it, between him and Gabi? I didn't mind Zach as Bachelor and think he's been pretty mature, but tonight...no. Maybe he's sick and crabby, or we missed more convo with Greer, but I (how do you do, fellow kids) kind of got the ick. She's incredibly annoying but that was a huge overreaction on his part. How dare she bring up her career when he's trying to find a WIFE on a crappy reality dating show? Maybe the producers did give him a sneak peek at some of her other moments during the week. He comes off a little unforgiving at perceived slights. And at people he doesn't want to bone. He looked visibly pissed giving the rose to Greer; maybe the producers made him keep her. Hopefully Greer just brings an excel of all her sales numbers to their next date. I tip my cap to Kaity, who has to be the F1 or the next bachelorette lol. London was lovely.
