🧐 I don’t think you understand what “cheating” actually means. If something is allowed, it is by definition not cheating. Not really. Boring tasks, every episode in a location that seems the same, bunching start-times. One of the worst seasons overall so far. (Nothing will touch the awfulness of the Family season)

No… the answer is to never again have a season only set in counties that speak Spanish. If the reason this happened was because of Covid restrictions then hopefully such a season will never happen again. But it sure makes this one boring.

I’m getting so sick of this entire season being in Latin America. It’s no wonder the boyfriends have been leading the whole time since they can speak the language. This season can hardly be called “a race around the world.”

Ah, I predict they will choose Amy.

Andrew didn’t win. The finalists were James, Matt and Mattea with James winning.

One person on TAR doesn’t know Elizabeth Taylor and now “an entire generation doesn’t know older culture!!” Why are young people supposed to know everything from when Boomers were young, but you not knowing current pop culture doesn’t also mean “omg the country is dooooooomed!” Funny how you ignored that some of the younger people did the best on the rebus and map while the one who went home was one of the older teams.

I really don’t know why Tevin has such a hate-on towards Venus. And Kenzie was acting so much like the Cool Girl wanting to stick with all the men while making fun of the “girly girl.” Both those two seem like such toxic people.

I’ve started just fast-forwarding through all of Trixie and Matthew’s scenes. Makes the episode so much better!

What was Brandon doing to that poor buzzer!? 😆 I’ve never seen anyone else hold it in such an awkward way before. I also got the meso=middle part of the clue but got stuck on noxia-noxious? Bad? Dangerous? Totally didn’t think of “night” but was obvious once revealed.

“At least I made them dig for three days, so serves them right for voting me off.” uhhhhh, that’s not how that works. It’s “serves you right” for making them dig. I don’t think she was as great a liar as she thought. Every time someone would mention the idol she’d start smiling and looking like she was trying to stop laughing. Totally looked like she knew something and was pretending she didn’t. I thought Ben was pretty clever at Tribal, “you want to make sure the people you choose will stick with you after the merge. Btw I’m getting a Siga tattoo!”

How in the world did all three of these champs not know FJ!? It was so easy! I immediately thought wound+nickname-> Scarface->Al Capone and spent the rest of the 30 seconds trying to figure out what the trick was because surely it couldn’t be that obvious.

I had no idea Yuri Gagarin died in a plane crash! I also said Dag Hammarskjöld, after being totally stumped by what “Sochi 6” meant. All I could think of was the Chicago 7 but knew that couldn’t be right since the trial was after 1968, and finally just said a name of an international person who died in a plane crash. Mercury 7 of course! That makes so much more sense.

Well that was the first time I fast forwarded through Tribal and didn’t even watch the vote. I could not stand to hear another whiny pity party for Bhanu. You did not win my heart Bhanu, you took a spot from someone who actually wanted to play the game. He’s got to be up there as of one of the worst players in Survivor history. Seeing him flopping around on the ground like a dead fish was just embarrassing! Oh and I noticed Soda yet again grabbing the idol out of Venus’s hands.

Booooo.

I guess I am resigned to the now very likely outcome that Yogesh is going to win the whole thing. 😔 What a disappointing ending that will be.

That housekeeper was a real psycho bitch. Like literally insane behavior. I’m nervous they keep on bringing up the storyline of dogs being eaten by coyotes like something will happen in a future episode.

Well the mechanic was a man. Just imagine Liv saying that same exact line to a female tech who looks young. She’d probably congratulate her for being so far along in her career at a young age. Fin: “It’s not about the victims, it’s all about you, Liv!” Most accurate line of the season. I laughed. Finally an interesting case with a killer unlike others we’ve seen, and the show still manages to ruin it with St Olivia worship.

Yeah I hate the chartered flights. It made sense during Covid but it really saps so much of the drama from the race. Seeing teams have to figure out on their own how to best get from place to place and choosing between various flights and airlines was always one of my favorite parts. Without the airport drama the show can be quite boring. Don’t they normally start with 11 teams? I guess they have 13 this time because there aren’t any non-elimination legs.

Anthony Hopkins winning over 30 years ago has no relevance to who won this year. The voting body is different, there are more international members, and the movies and performances are different.

Not in theaters. I’ve never seen anyone drape a coat over the back in a theater like that. It would be in the way of the persons legroom. You either sit on it, put it on your lap, or under the seat.

Did Norman Lear do movies? I think of him as a TV person. Treat Williams and Lance Reddick were some of the names I saw in the big list at the end. I also caught Ron Cephas Jones, Sinead O’Connor and Suzanne Sommers. It went off the screen too fast before I could read the others. (I had no problems reading the names during the montage though.) eta: just watched it again and Norman Lear was also in the big list at the end. I don’t know what Pacino was doing. I really wish they would stop bringing out the octogenarians to announce the Best Picture. It is always awkward. He made it so anti-climactic, you could tell the audience wasn’t sure how to respond after he said “My eyes see Oppenheimer.” There were several beats before anyone clapped or the theme music started.

So how did Frank actually die? Did I miss what they said his cause of death was? Blood loss from the stab wounds? Didn’t they say he only died 24 hours after Joey Bishop? So he wouldn’t have starve to death that quickly, and if he died that fast why did he resort to eating maggots from a dead body? Did the wife know he was still alive when she walled him up and how did she do such a professional job of installing the walls? Everything happened over a weekend right? Not a whole week? Really this whole case made no sense.

Oh Emily! Dammit you had it! You just needed to pay attention to the clue! Prussian Blue was so obvious with the mention of “Germany.” 😔 Though since Yogesh was the only one to get FJ he probably would have won anyway but it would at least have been a competition.

I knew Flower didn’t really get sucked off! It’s the same as every show, unless you see the death/body of a main character, it’s never real. That well in the creepy woods looked straight out of The Ring. This was one of the funniest episodes, I was laughing so much! I doubt Carol will stick around that long, a little of that character goes a long way, but it’s fun to have some new blood in the cast for a bit.

He did, when reading Deb’s FJ answer he said “And their response was-“ I knew FJ was referring to the end of slavery but I couldn’t remember the year. I said 1965. At least I was on the right track.
