  1. We saw Bhanu feverishly rubbing back and forth with a carved out piece of bamboo in the first episode. It's not as if they didn't try at all. I still remember some contestant breaking their glasses in half to increase the likelihood of getting a flame, and getting one!
  2. I don't think he's a very good actor. I think he is an emotional, expressive, somewhat eccentric man, who in his life has tried to make the most of his talents. I saw a little clip of him doing traditional dancing... When he said, he is not an actor, I think he meant he couldn't act and easily lie in this situation. He is not a smoothy. I think it is also worth bearing in mind that Yanu tribe, being Yanu tribe, have the most inept shelter of all three tribes, and have not had flint or fire - so no rice, no warmth - for seven days at this point. Jess was losing her mind from lack of sleep on their shitty bamboo shelter floor, days prior, and the episode opened with Bhanu saying they had relocated to the wet-looking sand below a rock curve to escape the rain the previous night and he hadn't slept at all. That alone will send some of us quite mad, and cetainly increase emotional lability.
  3. I think in the very first episode Bhanu said he was an immigrant and he grew up in a dirt hut and he wanted to inspire other immigrants/Indians... something like that. I think that's behind his "win a million hearts" aspirations. Some of his many proclamations hit and others don't, but I appreciate his heartfelt sincerity and raw emotions, even if we get a bit too much of him. It makes a change from polished assholes.
  4. Well, that was a mess. But Bhanu saying mournfully, "I'm a wackadoodle!" was the sweetest thing ever said on Survivor.
  5. Michelle Visage will be hosting Drag Race Down Under, without Ru Paul. I think this will be an improvement, he never seemed to really get the cultural references, and having a rotating judging panel of local drag queens along with Rhys Nicholson will help. https://tvtonight.com.au/2024/03/michelle-visage-to-host-drag-race-down-under.html
  6. That was Soda, who rudely and roughly grabbed it from Venus and made a point of passing it around to the whole tribe, as if to chastise Venus. The next time they won immunity, Venus began to uncertainly hand it about and her new friend Randen pushed it back to her.
  7. She also referred to herself, when announcing who was sitting out to Probst, as "The one and only Liz". So...
  8. My short list of favorites sure got whittled down this episode. With Jess gone, there's only Hunter I really like. Ben seems okay. Venus? Maybe? Then again no. The little hints here and there of an actual human to get invested in are thin on the ground. It seems to be Survivor: Obnoxious vs Delusional this season.
  9. To be fair, she was literally standing around waiting for the others to take care of crucial parts of the cart getting to the final resting place, on multiple occasions. Towards the end, she just stood in front of it while the others pushed. I really liked Jess, but if they'd kept that tall whatsisname and voted her out last episode they would have had a fighting chance of getting that puzzle up in the air (may not have been able to spell it, but it would have been airborne).
  10. Jelinsky looked great covered in mud. I thought, oh, he's my favorite! Ha. That did not last long. Outrageous to smash that hourglass - pointless desecration, aside from unilateral decision making when Q was ready to carry on - and so stupid to scatter broken glass all over the sand. So glad they got him and his third person confessionals out. I really like Jess and Hunter. Also Bhanu. The green tribe seem cool.
  11. Different source. I just checked my recordings. I was wrong that there was a warning on the ep where Julia walks into the ocean - there was no warning, bar a tiny "strong themes" up top left on the HBO logo screen before the show began. No other episode had a warning, and however anyone reads the ending, there was a clear suicide by Raymond Clark in that episode.
  12. I thought Plane won that fair and square. Disappointed Plasma didn't do a different diva; I think she should have saved Barbra for this. I am enjoying Mhi'ya's small wins, especially after that runway discussion a few eps back when she said no, she wasn't shy, in the voice of a small mouse.
  13. This week, on La Grande Dame is definitely winning this season... So disappointing to see Jonbers out so soon. For all that talk of preparation being key, it doesn't seem as if they divided up the recording time beforehand and just allowed LGD to run way over. Good to see Scarlet Envy get some attention from Ru at last. I knew as soon as Tia started moving with all the oomph of an overcooked strand of spaghetti that Jonbers was a goner.
  14. You'd be mad too if someone turned your silk purse into a pig's ear. Now, she's claiming credit for "ask the right questions". It's insulting.
