I would have inhaled that sammie without a moment's hesitation. If they'd been sitting out there for any length of time, there would have been a swarm of flies or gnats.
I also thought there was at least a marginal argument to be made that fueling up would be a huge and immediate advantage for those three. Lots of players are suffering from the weakies. (Is it the Seals motto to "Eat when you can, sleep when you can"? Or just Jack Reacher?)
P.S>whoever decided to offer FRUIT as the food reward--brutal!)

Lol, I'm not talking about salvaging Cirie's integrity. Pfft.
I'm saying the show went too far when they were doling out the goodies-- which will be written off as gimmicks, unless Cirie continues to bob effortlessly down the stream into the money.
In that case, I think there would be a lot of talk about producers putting their thumbs on the scale and "pre-designated winners."
Is Julie (But First, God) fine with that kind of footnote?

But surely Cirie can't be allowed to win. Someone who was set up with the advantage of swanning in late as "reality contestant royalty" and who then played for quite a while as part of a mother-son team while everyone else was sinking or swimming solo??
There would be one hell of a giant asterisk on a Cirie win.

Wow, Christine is really just the scum of the earth, according to Kody. He reveals that she forced her way into their marriage, then she was a lousy sister wife to the others, then she prevented him from being able to fully love Robyn--prevented them "from finding solace in each other"--and now she's poisoning his children against him.
POOR FUCKING KODY. 😭
The cherry on the top of all this victimization is when he claims he doesn't care about Christine one way or the other. Oh, hohohohoho. She bruised his ridiculously inflated ego and now he's obsessed with making everyone believe Christine is the most conniving, horrible pos woman who ever lived.
I don't know, Permboy. I've been following you folks for a number of years and mainly the only thing I know about Christine for sure is that she raised a passel of kids, hers and not hers, into thoughtful, intelligent, self-actualized, responsible adults.
That's a pretty good yardstick.

A year into keto, I'm able to confirm that catfish can be very tasty--satisfyingly crispy, meaty and rich--when broiled with spices and butter. Still not as good as fried, though! <sigh>
I wondered what Kelsey was thinking, piling all that green papaya salad on top of her fried catfish fillet. No way in the world that wasn't going to get a little soggy. Maybe she was counting on her dish being presented first?

That was me. Very dark brown until the white ones started showing up. So I put a blonde dye on my hair and the white one turned to blonde streaks and didn't change the dark hair. This went on over the years as more and more gray came in and now I'm a platinum blonde. Hubs loves it.
Gerry lost a lot of points with me this episode and I wasn't crazy about him to begin with. He's so self-centered! Almost every time he's raved about a woman it's been because "she looks at me like I'm the only man in the world." That's nice, but I'd rather he liked them for their own unique qualities. Joan's poem was cute and clever and she looked great on stage, it wasn't just about looking straight at Jerry.
Then the sobbing when Joan left. A woman he had one date with in the midst of a dozen others waiting in the wings. Come on Ger. I think it's fine when men cry -- when their wife or mother dies -- but male or female someone who cries as much as he does is simply a cry baby to me.
Another thing I don't like about him is that he only seems to like the women who have had a lot of work done and only carry 90 pounds of gristle on their frail frames. Edith was gorgeous but she had a natural face with a tiny bit of jowls and beautiful natural hair. Not Gerry's type. He cut all the women with a few extra pounds the first night. So basically he wants a woman his age but not if she looks it.
I'll be here till the bitter end though.
"Gristle"--LMAO
If my father, at Gerry's age, had been tapped for The Golden Bachelor, he would have expected them all to be 24-year olds.
In my experience, that's more the rule than the exception.

Good riddance to Josh.
Here's my question: HOW do they do that balance beam walk between two big inflated balloons bobbling around four stories up in the air?? I can barely stay on a balance beam 18 inches off the ground. Weren't there gusts of wind buffeting them? Maybe there's some tension on the harness, kind of lifting them up, helping them cross the beam?
Michaela is one of the bravest women I've ever seen. Never mind the harness--falling off that thing and dangling 40 feet in the air would make my heart quit.

Alaska Daily hit the ground running and was still cancelled.
Alaska Daily was CANCELLED?? I'm still saving the last two episodes to get me back into the swing of things for the new season. I'm disgusted.
Jesse L. Martin is just so charming and affable. I'm not necessarily glued to the plotlines, but I like the quirky "behavioral science" he's putting out there. Wasn't that the secret sauce for Bull every week?
I agree that the show drags to a halt every time they interrupt the action so someone can point out how much he still has the hots for his ex. Who cares?

Same here, but I actually gave up that thought with this episode - more specifically, when I saw them going through the running-through-the-ropes part of the RC. I messed up my knees back in April, and one look at them high-stepping it through those rope obstacles had me going “NOPE nope nope nope nope…!!!”
...
Well, if anyone from here does ever make it to the show, please PLEASE let us know. I would love to root for someone as part of Team Primetimer.
Nashville, pal, perish the thought. You wouldn't even have knees after a month of slamming through the sand, straining to pull a trunk of bricks up to a puzzle location, G.I. Joe-ing it through the mud, twisting your way out of that fishing net...

I thought it was very classy when the Derbies were talking about all going home together. Especially compared to the Pageants, who continued to gloat about having kicked out their "friend" Devi through the entire next episode, right up until karma kicked their collective ass.
But I was glad that Josh persuaded the Derby Girls team to stay. Still my favorites. 😍
Sidenote: That one Derby, Rachel, reminds me of Megan Rapinoe.

A four-minute BB. Love those. [/s]
I enjoyed Cam, too. He was a shrewd judge of circumstances, a good player, and knew how to keep his mouth shut. I can't even think which of those remaining stumblebums will be a more qualified winner than Cam. Jag, I guess. At least Jag didn't bro-bro all the way to his own demise, as so many have.

I have interrupted my viewing of Episode 1 to say that my eyes aren't all that great these days, but I do have a 65" high def tv and I don't see anything wrong with Jesse L. Martin's lovely face.
Maybe every now and then I get a little flash of the light reflecting oddly off his right cheek.
But I'm still completely available if he'd like me to sit in a subway car and watch him twirl around the pole, deep sexy-crooning about us opening up a rest-o-rant in Santa Fe.

I had to pause the recording so I could come here and release the hysterical laugh bubble that formed in my chest when Kody said "[Robyn and I] have never been allowed, essentially, to be in love with each other. or . . . to find solace in each other."
THE VICTIMIZATION OF POOR KODY CONTINUES.
[I have to add that he looks very ugly as he describes, again, all the unfair things that have been perpetrated against him by these terrible conniving women. His lip curls up in a sneer on one side and his little squinty piggy eyes dart back and forth. Careful, Kody, your insides are becoming outsides.]

I knew they'd all be striving to be at the top of their game, so I recorded all the monologues from the four late night men for a few days.
I think it's obvious that Stephen Colbert has the best writers (plus he is, of course, very talented and skillful with his delivery.)
I am surprised to notice how much time Seth Meyers spends on self-deprecating snorts, or long pause + winking at the audience, or some other version of big raspberry admission that a joke fell flat. His long-form Closer Look is brilliant, but the stand-alone jokes don't have a very high success rate. (Weird, because I can identify five or six of his writers by name. "Scollins!")
The Jimmies... They seem nice.

The closest Trader Joe's is about three hours.
Leaving now.

It's back!
Also, this is Fred Armisen's David Byrne impression. Honestly, I Iove it. It's the first thing Fred's ever done that I enjoyed.
Well, by all means, let's take a gander at that, because the alternative name for my FF button is "F. Armisen."

I feel like Cirie wouldn't mind being evicted. She seems so checked out of everything--like she just does not care.
Oh, I kind of like seeing Cirie shuffling around in a bathrobe, all morose and bitter about the eviction of her son. She was smug and giggly about their big secret conspiracy and now it's like she thinks it's unfair that she has to maneuver through this game "all by myself!"
Sorry, I know those are harsh words, but Cirie is a strong, seasoned competitor; Jared was an immature man and an inexperienced reality challenge player. I was somewhat shocked to hear Cirie reprimand MeMe in her goodbye clip. "I told you not to evict Jared."
Who else harks back to the 'mistake' made wrt another player? What is she, his mother or something?

Hmm, I'd go the other way. It looks to me like Emily is dunzo as far as Sabiyah is concerned and there's nothing Emily can do about it, no matter how much she might like to repair things.
Tough spot to be in for Day 3 in a five-person tribe.

I'd say 9 out of 10 times, it's easy to figure out who made what. 10 out of 10 by the last round. I think any judge with half a brain should be able to skew either the guest or "The Titans!" into the win, if so desired.
All this blind judging they're so proud of is ridiculous, with the two competitors standing just over the shoulder of the judge, muttering "oh, come on" under their breath.

I like Cam, in general, because he's in the hamster upper 1% who can keep his mouth shut. I think it's clever how he elicits information without giving away anything himself. (If he were on Survivor and found an Idol, he would be able to keep it to himself--a rare talent.)
But I was very sour about his superior attitude when he was lecturing __________ about Emily Dickinson, (a reclusive 19th C. poet,) since he clearly didn't know the first thing about her except that she was somehow affiliated with writing. If you're going to condescend to someone, you should at least know your shit.

Sorry about the photo, it looked like it came through when I posted it but not when I came back. I've (hopefully) corrected it in my post above.
When I used to make Beef Wellington most recipes called for both the mushroom duxelle and chicken liver pate. Gordon doesn't use the pate but does put a layer of thinly sliced prosciutto and dijon mustard. I kind of liked the flavor the mustard gave it. If I make it again (which now that I've had his version I probably will), I'll use the mustard, but I don't think I would forego the pate in favor of the prosciutto. I used to use the Truffle Mousse pate from Trader Joe's. They still make it.
That looks FANTASTIC.
Thanks for the welly talk. More going on under that flaky crust than I realized. : )

I'm just going on record to say that I think he should pick the pickleball woman. He's nuts about pickleball, she's extremely involved in pickleball--captain of her league and so forth.
They could do worse for common ground, once this wingnut show is finished and they're looking around for something they like about each other.
