Scatterbrained

Time will tell with Shauhin.

I agree that the part of the episode with Eva and Joe felt like a bit too much. I also feel like Star has not been given the credit she deserves as she has been trying to play the game and everyone has seemed to be working against her, not WITH her. In this episode, in this scene, in spite of her feeling targeted by Eva in the past, she put all that aside and hugged and comforted Eva first. Because of the camera close-ups cutting her out of the scene visually, it’s something that might be missed, but you can see her arms around Eva and you can hear her crooning words up support while holding her. And then, of course, there was the moment later when she gave away her idol out of sincere kindness. I thought the moment between Joe, Shauhin, Kamala , and Kyle was much more profound and organic. I’m interested to see where this goes. if only Bianca and Thomas stayed together at the switch, they would probably still be around. Thomas could have used his steal a vote to essentially make up for Bianca’s lack of vote. It looks like Cedric s wise to the fact that Sai might not be a dependable ally. His choice of whom to trust is interesting and smart. The option to not share this info with Sai and Mitch was probably rather stupid. We shall see how T foes going forward.

A bit late to the House Party (that’s already over) episode, but here are my random thoughts. I agree with those who think David’s glowing self-descriptions are a bit weird. Could be narcissism. Time will tell. Charity: in the intro episode, she compared being an airline stewardess to “playing survivor everyday”. In a previous episode I thought she was condescending to Mitch when she was congratulating him on a win (not that he seemed to mind or care). In this episode, she told another player that David could be led buthad to be told plans at the last minute or he would spill the info to everyone. How would she know? What plans have they had. She and David have never been to tribal. How very delusional she is. its becoming more and more clear that Mitch is only interested in hanging with the younger females. Ew. Kevin and Kamala: wow. I thought that it was smart of her to give him her extra vote as a sign of trust, but you guys have shown me that there’s a lot more to it. Thanks guys! Shauhin and Thomas: it’s interesting that in previous episodes Shauhin felt Thomas was playing to hard and willing to be too dirty in a way that Shauhin said he didn’t any to play. Yet in this episode, he is the one who actually went through the bag. Thomas expressed remorse about killing someone’s dream at tribal and took his loss well. Shauhin looked shocked in a way that seemed like he might be very vengeful when the shock wears off. Time will tell.

DH calls David “Derek Zoolander”. LOL. Jeff’s rapt face at tribal was highly entertaining. Sai and Mary. Survivor Odd Couple. They are going to be fun!

I think they fit the bedroom between two existing windows.

The building previously housed a different organization (IIRC the beginning of the episode correctly). The previous organization may have had some of that done.

I wonder how many people who turned down the house due to the bump in the floor are now feeling regret since it was such an easily solvable problem that didn’t cost a lot of money? It makes sense to move only a few doors down. It doesn’t really change the students’ or parents’ commutes.

Oh! Another speculative thought:

Saw the first season and LOVED it! It’s a really great show! Random thought:

Borderline Personality Disorder

Although Jon, Sol, and Keith seem to possess some sense. So, maybe it was 1 intelligent and 2 grandiosely delusional men per original tribe.

Andy and the ball. I thought he looked like a snake trying to eat a porcupine, but he couldn’t get his jaws around it; which might be a visual metaphor for his game. He thinks he’s a snake, but he lacks true capability. Sam’s another silly one. It’s like they set out to cast a bunch of stupid men this season. The women truly seem smarter.

Remember the old car curse? It has transformed!

I wonder if Sol clued Rachel in that t was going to be Sam or Sierra. Instead of voting, she used her shot in the dark to abstain, and she used it to judge reactions of others when she used it in order to make sure Sol wasn’t lying to her to gain her trust while they voted her out. i think Andy hates women, especially when they don’t give him the supply of adulation and pandering he thinks he deserves. Teeny always seems to know what’s going on.

The interesting thing about half the people being safe and outside the vote, was that they got to watch to proceedings head on. This allows them to relax and really notice interpersonal dynamics. Who looks confident, who looks nervous, who whispers to who, who uses body language signals with whom. There is a lot of information there that most contestants don’t get to observe and digest when they are “in it”.
