(sings) Got miiiiiiine!

Desecrating human remains?

Mr. World is making me take a long hard look at my salsa-buying habits.

Auditions begin for AGT's twelfth season, with new host Tyra Banks.

I liked the choice of The Weight for Laura's last living song. It's a song full of religious names/words, but really Moses/Nazareth/etc. are earthly people and places. The Band has said the song is about the impossibility of sainthood, and how good people do bad things.

Yeah his bulletpoints for Outplay included building shelters, challenges, twists, and tribe swaps. Which makes winning challenges maybe 25% of a third of your "value" as a player? Seems like the show is co-signing the idea that challenges aren't that important after all.

"50 Shades of Tan." -Khaleesi

Probst defined Outplay (of the Survivor creed) as "how you responded to the conditions put on you by the game"-- but when did Outplay stop meaning how well you performed in the challenges to keep yourself (post-merge) and your tribe (pre-merge) safe? Doesn't Outwit kind of cover how well you responded to tribe switches and twists?

Wasn't Michaela the one publicly eye-rolling Brad when he was trying to connect emotionally with the tribe right after the merge?

What Tai says: "I have two idols, Brad." What Brad hears: "You have two idols, Brad." What Brad does with this information:

The very beautiful went to UPenn.

Khaleesi was very happy with Sarah's win and believes that Brad handed it to her. Tai proposes splitting 2/2 and going to fire: Tai's crazy if he thinks they're going to vote him out and take Sarah to Final Tribal. Tai's done nothing in this game and Sarah did everything- he should just write her name down and save himself the splinters. Brad tells Troyzan they have to get rid of Tai: You know what's more important to Brad than winning a million dollars? His pride. Monica is going to be maaaaa-aaad.

Brad tells Tai he needs to earn trust by giving a HII to Brad and pay for the right the be there by promising his vote to Brad: Khaleesi: We KNEW you were in there somewhere, Real Brad Culpepper.

@caprice is in charge of recruitment. She finds the best people. (*cough me! cough)

Shadow: "Why are you talking to me about marshmallows? Like I'm worried about marshmallows! Yeah, I like marshmallows." (takes the hot chocolate) Mr. Ibis: “Yet many is the man who would take any version of his lost love rather than leave his love lost. He will say, ‘thank you’ to whatever god sent you back to him.”

Bringing this here - re: Laura having Woody Woodpecker on TV every night in her empty house.

Waxing poetic - In fairness to Laura, it doesn't seem she ever intended to leave Shadow for Robbie. Their affair was purely sexual and filling a void for her while he was gone. That's not to say I excuse her for it, or that it wasn't wrong (it was) but I think she loved Shadow as much as she could have but without his actual presence to distract her, then the loss of her other connection (the cat) the darkness was taking over rapidly. It seems only in death (with a clock ticking) can she actually see her faith/love for Shadow and believe that she might actually deserve his light/love. “Yet many is the man who would take any version of his lost love rather than leave his love lost. He will say, ‘thank you’ to whatever god sent you back to him.” Include me in that "many," Mr. Ibis.

For some, woodpeckers are believed to be symbolic spirit animals.

Nan takes Martin to work to keep Kevin at bay after she gets frustrated with him due to his interference in her ad campaign development, however Martin takes a liking to Kevin.

Two young men find out that their one-night stands have become lifelong commitments… to the children they never knew they had.

A one-of-a-kind LIVE series, foodie families from across the U.S. battle it out in an intense, high-stakes cook-off. In addition to impressing Ramsay, each team must win over the hearts and taste buds of the diners, celebrities and VIP guests whom they’re serving.

Nan installs an automatic dog door so she can take away Jason's key while still keeping him as Martin's dog walker, but it causes Martin to think he can open doors with his mind. Elsewhere: Nan's boss is uncertain about a new ad campaign that Nan pitched to the corporate bosses.

I don't like Laura... but I'm glad she's on the show and I'm glad we got this episode about her. Though I spent the whole episode looking for flies that weren't in my house.
