Asuelu is a genius. He learned to ride a bike in 90 seconds. (It couldn't have been longer than that, because those 2 would've been drenched in sweat moving for 2 minutes straight.) When a 300 lb. dude with a headband and unicorn shirt is your only option for a Man To Man Talk, you're just fucked. How many cobwebs did they need to wipe off that bicycle since its last use?

Someone with more eyebrow knowledge than me... don't they typically match in length/width?

Can't. Process. And he's hanging onto this chair like it's about to launch off the ground.

Ashley isn't getting enough attention. Her inbox, something something, dudes, something, needs respect. This conversation made me so much dumber more stupider.

Episode thread available here (without sauce, without salt):

Blink and you miss it, from the Season 2 trailer... something for the shippers.

Yes. They mindfucked us into thinking the teacher had abused him after everyone left class that day, but it was actually that the teacher teleported and not being able to make sense of it or talk about it with anyone made Jim's life miserable and lonely. Now that he's confirmed the veracity of his memory, he can move on and live life.

They needed to agree on a grenade recipient or it was a "dead grenade." Now if Paulie were smart (spoiler alert: he ain't) he would've used his/Natalie's grenade on Ashley and Hunter (thereby not condemning his family to eternal damnation) and would've realized Cara wouldn't agree to using her/Marie's grenade on them and possibly hit Joss/Sylvia anyway. Though I'm not sure at that point if Marie would've agreed with anything but a Natalie/Paulie grenade because stubborn. Shenanigans... You mean to tell me Hunter didn't take the individual lead from Ashley based on the eating challenge alone? He ate basically everything there, even Stone Cold Teej was impressed.

Can't believe I'm going to echo Bananas right now, but seriously... who put a nickel in Joss? If you believe anyone who promises you anything in the final challenge for $1M, you deserve what you get. The tears were... cringey. Additionally, I don't believe that any one of those final 8 would have shared the million with their partner. A million dollars has a habit of bringing up a lot of painful repressed memories.

Well damn.

I... well. How about that.

I thought I couldn't stand James Van Der Beek, but it turns out I just couldn't stand Dawson Leery. JVDB shone brightly in this one.

Karen is all of us when we find out there's a family party we weren't invited to. Okay maybe not all of us.

So did they tell Michael Shannon the Russian accent was optional, and feel free to stop using it anytime?

I'm... not hungry.

Talk. About. The. Show. If off-topic discussion continues, this thread will get locked.

Matt and Sweat run for their lives as the tension between them is pushed to the extreme. Tilly gets out of the hospital and does her best to evade the authorities. But as the law closes in, all three are confronted with hard truths about who they really are.

A deep dive into the minds of these individuals, we finally see what Matt and Sweat are capable of outside the prison walls. Tilly's natural instincts aren't much better.

On the day of the escape, Matt and Sweat know the smallest mistake can derail their whole plan, but when a stern corrections officer takes over the post in the tailor shop and fellow inmate Murder gets out of the Special Housing Unit, Matt seems attracted to the danger. Tilly and Lyle have a fateful dinner at an all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant.

Excited by the possibility of a new life, Tilly tries her best to avoid Lyle, who is planning something special for their anniversary. Sweat makes progress on the escape route, but feels like he's doing all the work. Matt likes the arrangement just fine.

Matt and Sweat run into walls and other obstacles as they search for a way out, but the power of positive thinking helps to keep them on track. Tilly begins to feel guilty about her mounting indiscretions, but she has a funny way of showing it.

Matt has an idea to get out of Dannemora, but Sweat is not interested; Matt begins to help Tilly with an inmate she doesn't get along with in the shop; Sweat comes to miss the freedoms that come with Matt's protection.

Honestly, if someone edited footage of me on “reality” TV talking about such a sensitive issue for “on-screen drama” like race, I’d sue their arse. (That stuff can seriously mess up your future employment opportunities.) Also- Jay did say what he said. They didn't put words in his mouth, but they may have edited out a prefacing remark that would've made the accusation seem a little less "Why do [all] white people hate [all] black people?" which is probably not what he meant anyway. (He obviously knows all white people don't hate all black people.) The dudes at the barbershop, though... One had a lot of opinions and no eyebrows, and the other had a wife who was torturing him with... "I love you" text messages? "Don't get married, bro, someone might tell you they love you a lot! It's a fucking nightmare." Jay... go to Supercuts, cuz. Better life advice there.

Served with several American Samoans and it's not that they necessarily prefer fast food there- it's that it's actually cheaper than local food; so many farmers have had to abandon their farms to get by so non-imported food is limited. It's been that way for some time. FWIW, the guys I knew slimmed down pretty easily, though they were always big in frame.

The "What is racism?" conversation has run its course. Discussion not related to the episode should move to the Small Talk thread.
