What a marvelous idea.
Whoa! I hate that sort of religious bigotry. Now, I wonder if he wants all our American Muslims deported.
If find this stance (intolerance) on Christians/Christianity from people who identify as being 'liberals'/left odd considering how they invariably and vehemently stick up for Islam. Whilst is true that some people who claim to be Christians hold views that would be offensive to members of the LGBT community however it pales in comparison to how gays are viewed and treated in the vast majority of Muslim countries (i.e in some Muslim countries homosexuals are still executed) and/or Muslim communities in general. Yet left leaning individuals come to defense of the 'Religion of Peace' at the drop of a hat and have no problems rubbing shoulders with followers of that faith. *shrugs*

Chuck couldn't tell his wife a simple joke.
There are different dialects, accents and terms in all 'espanol'. There is the proper Castillian Spanish and then there is the Mexican Spanish.
Castilian is just another word for Spanish, it's tautology in other words. 'Pensinsular' Spanish would be a more apt description for dialects from Spain. People from Argentina for example frequently say they speak 'castellano' (castilian) instead of Spanish as both terms are interchangeable and mean the same thing.
And referring to as any dialect as proper is a bit like claiming that only British English is the only 'proper' English when an English speaker from a country such as Australia, South Africa and yes even the US is more than capable of speaking 'proper' English. :)
I've know plenty of Brits who butcher the English language so just because someone is from the country where the language originates from doesn't mean they are immune from making mistakes.

Did Debbie tell them her age? I know she told us and my jaw hit the floor, because I am 48 and more or less look my age/mid-40s, and I would have guessed that she was at least 10 years older! So they could all be thinking she's around 60 :)
Not that I can recall from the footage that we've seen thus far. Although they may still have shared their ages in conversations that didn't make the edit I suppose.
I also presumed that Debbie was around late 50s/early 60s. Only the producers know for sure whether those 2, Peter and Debbie, are embellishing the truth in that regard.

Guys, I know I should not have liked it, but I am enthralled. I can't wait for next week!! Don't know what it says of my intelligence and my critical thinking but I love it.
This last few episodes of this season are IMO somewhat reminiscent of the frenetic fast pace of the first season so from that perspective I have to admit that I'm enjoying it as well.
It's a shame though that it's based more around typical tv heightened drama usually found in soap operas than the often ridiculous and improbable but never-the-less enjoyable legal cases the writers came up with in Season 1.

Okay, so you got me to watch again with Monroe-centric and only a small amount of Dead-eyes Wooden Face. I am glad they finally got a way to play to Bitsie's acting style.
Monroe being torn up made me torn up. He's so damn good. I'm glad they remembered the man can act. He was so the MVP of this episode.
I also wanted Meisner, but not douchey Meisner I don't like what they're doing with his character. And him holding Teresa back like that...yeah. I don't think she was too happy right there. She wanted to help her friends. It's like she's not human but an asset. Nick is the only family she knows.
I almost fast-forwarded through Wood and Teresa's talk, but I like T, so I didn't. The "I'm glad we had this talk" was worth it.
I loved when Monroe's uncle was all "DON'T TOUCH THE BOOK WITH YOUR BARE HANDS" and meanwhile, Wu had been eating Burger King over the old set.
Getting the books back was also a big draw. When Nick said they got the trailer back, I smiled.
Oh, I also cheered that Monroe is still all pissed off at Juliette and tried to call her out for burning down the trailer. I waited for Rosalee to defend her and was glad she didn't.
Someone called Claire out on Twitter as to Adalind's birthday!
Claire's response:
I guess...lost powers move bday by 6 mos 2 days?
Regarding Adalind's birthday they actually went by Claire Coffee's real birthday which is the 14th of April 1980. I guess the writers forgot they had already provided this information via a police database in a previous episode. haha :)

Lest you think, I am calling 34 old, rest assured I am not...I am a year older that Not-Obama and while I would not call myself old, I also would not call myself young.
I was surprised to find out that Peter was 34, assuming he's not telling fibs that is. Maybe it's the grey hair but I was sure that he was already in his 40s so it did strike me as odd and slightly amusing that he was labeling someone who is still in their 40s (49) as old.
I thought it was priceless that Obama lumped himself in with "young". 34 to me is pretty much middle-aged. It's not old, but it's not young. Young is 19 or 20s. But mostly, he looks 45. I wonder if he called himself young because he looks more the same age as the "old lady" than the others.
Middle age is usually considered to be around the mid 40s to early 60s. If Peter's claim that he was born in 1980 is to be believed, he is just 4 or 5 years older than Liz, who is almost 30, who was the other castaway involved in dismissing Debbie and Joe as the old timers who are bound to hold the tribe back in challenges. He isn't a spring chicken but middle age would more aptly describe someone like Debbie.

S34: Sarah Lacina
in Survivor
She certainly won't be doing any undercover work from now on given she's a tv celebrity of sorts and criminals wouldn't have a hard time finding out who she really is.
