  1. Matt and Frannie.  Adorable. 

    Carolyn is really growing on me.  I didn't see that coming.

    My early fav is the firefighter because he's hustling and he gives good confessionals.

    I know it's early, but I'm REALLY enjoying Survivor this season and I haven't been able to say that for awhile.

    Carolyn is on my last nerve.  Conversely, I am charmed by Yam Yam.  We'll see how long that lasts.  

    I am too!  I mean, I seriously LOL'd when he's trying to reach through the birdcage bars saying, "Maybe it's candy!"  Why would it be candy??!!  😂

    Kudos to Brandon for reading the room and correctly playing an idol.   I worried when he and the other guy chose the coconut drag.  That looked TOUGH.  If I had been there, I would've chosen the physical task too.  I don't trust myself with puzzles like "Count the Spheres" especially if you only get one guess.  I used to dream of playing Survivor but the heavy reliance on puzzles would be the death of my game.  A slide puzzle is bad enough without making each piece weigh a ton.

    These people are in no way broke. David Siegel, the only source of Jackie's money, has a net worth of $940 million

    Yeah, I'm skeptical of that figure.  Not saying they're average American "broke" but I don't believe a 940M worth for one second.  Forbes always inflates a scammers' worth.

    I hope the folks Jackie Siegel hired demanded cash up front. 

    Right!  I get the feeling that their estimated worth is all smoke and mirrors.  I'll bet none of those contractors is getting paid what they're owed.

  4. I started watching out of morbid curiosity and couldn't look away.  I truly want to understand how she can spend so much when I believe they're more or less broke.  Her clothes look cheap, her jewelry has to be fake and the "scholarship" she gave that kid in her daughter's name?  A whopping 500 dollars.  I just want to know the scam that allows them to live so extravagantly.

    The kids seem pretty grounded though.

     

  5. So I'm steering clear of the emotional TC and I'm choosing to focus on my favorite Moment of Pettiness:

    Rocks joining Chanelle on The Jury and whispering, "Hai and Romeo joined together against me.  I hope they freeze."

    HA!  Made me like his annoying ass just a little.

  6. I was already kinda crushing on Jonathan from the first challenge when they had to count the triangles.  He knew that wasn't his thing so he just got out of the way.  Plus he seems to be really kind.  But after last night?  I am ALL IN on the Jonathan Love Train.  I can't even laugh at Probst for being such a fan-boy.  That was some seriously impressive challenge dominance.  That even surpassed Winners at War when BRob and Jeremy were throwing their tribe over that obstacle.  

    I didn't know what to think about Chanel until that final tribal but now, don't like her.  Way too cocky and stupid at the same time.  And y'all see Albert Brooks with Daniel?  I see Isaac Mizrahi.  Either way, he can go at any time.

    Oh Evan, you can't swing big dick after showing us your vagina last season. Bill never did anything to you, or your lettuce muncher.

    I'm kinda ashamed of how hard this made me laugh.  Ok, who am I kidding?  Not really.

    I will never not be tickled by Frank and his green apple martinis.  

    I've always thought Tiki Barber was an ass and his appearance on this show has done nothing to change my opinion.  Ronde must've gotten all the good genes.

    On another note, I saw that MaryAnne waas trending on Twitter (pretty much all positive that I saw).  I actually can't wait to see her go to her first TC and have to vote someone off, because I want to see if she can keep her emotions in check.

    If we're lucky, it'll be her torch that gets snuffed.  She was...a lot.

  9. I'm soooo in agreement with those who didn't care for Hilfiger as a judge.  He was all about stressing commercial appeal and what might sell but don't the judges sometimes slam the designers for not taking chances and being more grand?!  Kentaro was one of my fav designers ever and I can't recall anything about his show being commercial.   Even Christian's critiques were geared toward helping the designers amplify their garments from just beautifully made pretty dresses to something more spectacular.  Which brings me to something else I really like about this season:

    I loved how all of the designers seemed to honestly support, help and appreciate one another.  We've come a loooong way from Wendy Pepper v. Everyone.  LOL.   I mean, how sweet was it that Chasity gave Coral some of that black tulle that she needed to enhance her showpiece?   Just a beautiful display of sportsmanship.  I hope all the ladies find tremendous success in their own rights.

    Disagree.  The girls kept talking about "all girl" team winning all the time.  It's annoying.  It'd be one thing if they just mentioned it once.  But there have been multiple comments from them about only women winning.

    I just had a chance to watch and catch up.  Sigh.  This obsession with having girl winners on these shows wears. on. my. last. nerve.  It's bad enough that I just endured that narrative with Survivor (and I still suspect some of the Jury voted for gender and NOT the best game) but now I have to hear it again with TAR.  I've never really felt that Survivor or TAR were weighted towards men winning over women.  Now I thought Tough as Nails was biased towards brute strength in a lot of tasks until the women cast this past season kicked ASS.  If the "Girl Power" chatter keeps up, I'm going to find myself actively cheering against them.

    I was happy to see the two eliminated teams get a chance to return and its helpful to hear that they had extra tasks that we didn't see.  I thought both teams were just hapless.

    I know I'm in the tiniest of minorities with my opinion of Akbar and Sheri but I kind of feel that Akbar is a kindred spirit to me.  There are those of us who have a competitive drive that borders on insane.  It's not something that we're proud of and it's uncontrollable.  It's what makes us smash tennis racquets (been there, done that) harangue a teammate who doesn't appear to be giving it their all (done that too) and usually, we feel quite contrite and ashamed of our behavior when we're no longer in the heat of the competition.  The people that know and love us just deal with our insanity.  I suspect that's what's happening with Sheri and Akbar.  I really don't think he means to be abusive or demeaning but it comes off that way especially with a camera capturing all his bad behavior.  I think Sheri has been with him long enough to tune out his craziness.  And so proud of her for completing that task.  Both tasks, in fact.  I was kind of cringing when she kept dragging the Swiss flag on the floor with that leg pass. LOL.

    Precious’s made her boobs look like balloons about to bust. It made mine hurt to look at her.

    Everytime the camera focused on her, I had an irrational, burning desire to use one of those old super long hat pins to pop them.

    Hmm.  It occurs to me, cynical me, that Project Runway couldn't allow their BBB model to be the kiss of death yet again.

    Totally agree.  I hate that they keep using her and the other big girl damn near every single week.  Those bigger models put their designers at an immediate disadvantage over the designers who have the skinny minnies.  I don't know why the judges don't see that.

    I was sorry to see Aaron go. Coral would've been my bottom.  That neoprene was awful but I keep thinking if he had stuck to a solid color, he may have been ok.  He really went into overkill with that chevron pattern theme.  But I had a genuine LOL moment when Aaron declared, "A mess can be cleaned with a mop.  This needed FEMA."  I love self-awareness on reality tv.

    I spent many years working at a University.  Post graduate courses have older students changing careers, young students, professional students.  All kinds of people.  Miranda wouldn't be the only middle aged student in the class.  

    Great point.  I'm in a graduate program now and I think there were more of us "seasoned" students in each course than fresh-from undergrad youngsters.

    The purse wine was amusing, but it made me realize how lucky I am that I don't need alcohol to endure my family and friends.

     

    So my mom gave me an actual purse for wine last Christmas.  It's an oblong, insulated, adorable little bag that will hold one bottle.  What was she trying to tell me? 🤔

    I just got a chance to watch both episodes.  I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either.  Everyone seemed....rusty.  I hope they ease back into the characters better in the upcoming eps.

    I think I like Lily and Rose the best from the new characters.  And my Anthony calling Rose, little Edie Beale?!  More Anthony, please.

  14. I don't think I've ever done as big a 180 as I did with Lia this season.  I am really happy for her and love the way she repped for us ladies.  

    On another note, Jerome backing his skidsteer over that obstacle was seriously impressive.  I liked every single one of the competitors this season.  Take notes, Survivor!

  15. Alfie, Alfie, Alfie.  How did you not see that the "Get" and "To" were too close together?!  Kadooz to Quincey for remaining calm and focused on his task and not his competition..  That's two weeks in a row that his methodical nature paid off.  

    Early in the season, I really thought I would root against Lia because her "Jill-of-All-Trades" thing kind of annoyed me but she has grown on me.  She does everything well, she's always right up there near first place and she's a woman of a certain age.  They'd better not sleep on her for the Final.

    The team challenges are shaking out evenly, and tonight's final competition between the two women with roughly equivalent strength was very exciting, but that individual challenge is going to pick off the women one-by-one.

    #####

    Seeing her father's copter blow into the electric wire and crash--made me cry.

    .

    This is probably my new favorite show since Survivor has gone off the rails with unlikeable castaways and too many random advantages.  Every season, TAN just seems to have really good people performing some crazy-hard tasks.

    I love the way the women really are kicking ass.  The Iron-Worker?  She made ALL the difference in the team challenge.  And the men respect these women too.  Nice.

    I thought Lia was going to annoy me with her constant "Jill-of-All-Trades" chatter but then she won me over when she talked about how it didn't feel good to win at the expense of Sarah losing.  Sniff, sniff.

    And Sarah put me through it tonight!  Overcoming her fear of water, finishing just SECONDS behind Lia.  i was a wreck after this episode.

    Doc Rivers kicked Ben Simmons out of practice for not participating enough and then the org suspended him one game.

    I swear Doc Rivers is no better than Brett Brown.  KIck him out of practice?  Shiiiiiiiitttttt.  I would've sent his ass to the other side of the gym and told him to shoot free throws for the entire practice session since his bitchass refuses to shoot them in the offseason.

    I didn't feel bad for her either and I am amazed the show wasted five minutes of time on her and her "moment".  

    Right there with you both.  Especially since it appeared that her eyes and face were bone dry the entire time she was "crying."   Probst is determined to have a "Cirie Finishes the Challenge!" moment as often as he can.  Probst, we know Cirie.  Heather is no Cirie.

    Somewhere Erik is laughing his ass off, grateful that he's no longer the only dupe to give away an advantage to a beguiling woman, only to be voted out.

    Yup.  I said that to Mr. HangSuite.  At least Erik had 4 dazzling women manipulating him.  Simp JD had one with her stupid humming who's way too impressed with herself.  Praying for Survivor karma to smack her silly.  

    That attempted challenge-throw was some seriously funny shit.  Deshawn walking in the water and re-tying knots.  The yellow girl flopping around 3 feet from shore swimming in the wrong direction!  W.T.F.?!  Blue would've won that challenge by 15 minutes if they really competed. 

    And my MVP comment of the night came from Genie talking about the Awesome Nathan:. "He was like Cirque du' Soleil and the best stripper you've ever seen!!!"  When I tell you how I fell out....🤣

  20. I just watched.  Didn't even realize that a new season had started until I saw the DVR picked it up.

    Oy, just the phrase "Jill of all trades" sets my teeth on edge.  But it looks like a decent crop of competitors.  No raging assholes immediately apparent.

     

    You too?  And she said it a few times.  We get it.  And no raging assholes but I did roll my eyes when the firefighter referred to herself as a superhero.  Uhhhh...how about you leave that to someone else--it sounds kinda douchey to call yourself a superhero.  Especially when you finish last.

    I'm torn between Alfie and Quincy being my picks.  Both of their stories touched me.  Sarah's too and I'd love for a woman to win but I think they'll keep skewing the final challenges toward brute strength.  We'll see.

    I'm not embarrassed to say I couldn't understand what was going on at that midnight meeting.   Steal a vote?  Tarp?  Everybody gets tarp?  Two people steal a vote?  Or not?  Only Brad gets it?   What?   Who cares.   I was too tired after working all day to try to figure it out.  

    This.  This how I feel about this whole season so far.  I used to eagerly anticipate Survivor each week and now I just don't care.  

    I feel like maybe Probst is trying to New Coke us by changing a formula that didn't need tampering.  He's going to come out at the Reunion talking about the hatred he got from viewers about this new, weird season and then he'll announce that they're going to return to the original Borneo format for next season:  Vintage Survivor.

    Or, there is a pretty good possibility that Ben Simmons flat out sucks. I knew that Ben Simmons will find a way to mess it up for the Sixers in Game 7 & he most certainly didn't disappoint in that part. He did absolutely nothing in the 4th Quarter in that entire series. I can't stand James Harden & I still haven't forgiven him for his former team (Rockets) choking against those Warriors on a few occasions in the Playoffs. But, he tried to his damnest to help Brooklyn come very close to winning that series against the Bucks with basically one leg. James Harden showed more heart & energy in that series with one leg than Ben Simmons did in the entire Playoffs. I'm hope that Markelle Fultz is smiling & laughing somewhere right now. He may have bad luck & injuries during his time with the Sixers. But, I'm certain he would of been more of a help to the Sixers right now than Ben Simmons. 

    Yeah.  This right here.  Simmons is an entitled asshole who'd rather be famous for who he's dating rather than being a game-changing player.  He's content with thinking that defense is enough.  It's not.

    Markelle Fultz was another headcase and I'm honestly not sorry that he's gone either.  But I'd love to hear what Jimmy Butler thinks about this latest turn of events.  We have Jimmy and Philly is in the Finals.  (And why did I just see a Fultz Sixers jersey on the Clearance rack in Burlington just the other day?  Who wants that shit even for a mere 5.99?  LOL)
