So what are the odds on whether or not Laszlo decides to pleasure himself with Nadja's new doll. And if so, what are the odds of Little Nadja staying quiet during it? You know, actually Little Nadja is in an interesting position to learn lots of things. I don't think Gigi is going to hold back on his assassin-slaying in front of a supposedly inanimate object, for example. I could even see a situation where he catches her walking around or something and they both sort of blackmail each other into staying quiet. You know, it's funny, but long, long ago, I was channel-surfing around and came to something that had a ventriloquist dummy in it. Which of course meant that people were going to start getting murdered soon, so I kept watching. Not only had I guessed correctly and it was indeed something in the horror genre that I was watching, but it was also funny as hell. And that is the story of how I discovered "The Puppet Show," the first-season episode that originally got me hooked on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." So, to this day, I have a soft spot for evil dummies, evil Krusty the Klowns, anything of that nature. So, this song is dedicated to Little Nadja:

I agree, both about the second ep being stronger and about Gigi becoming the star. Loved the argument about arbitrary anti-ghost skepticism. And Laszlo's "science." Welcome back, Jesk. Bye, Jesk. Two Nadjas now? I like when they give Colin Robinson reasons to be around. It's hard to make a character so unfunny that he's funny while still keeping him unfunny, but mission accomplished,. I wonder if his PTSD from eating John is part of the reason Nandor won't bite Gigi. Not that familiars tend to have a good rate of promotion anyway... or.. any rate... I'm curious about where Jen is. Did she enslave all the LARPER nerds and make herself their queen or something?

Thank you, sweet baby Jesus.

That's not what "literally" means.

Next year: Show the family right before council. And whoever can go longest without whispering gets to see their loved ones.

I would totally watch a "Cops R Us" buddy comedy, though.

I am just as amused as Tony by the fact that Tony is just as amused as I am. Did that make any sense?

I wish they'd throw in a bunch of extra letters, so we could see Ben or Tony trying "IMYOONATY.

Brainwashing. Jeff only lets them hear one song.

Well, if we had to sit through this with the crappy cast, I'm at least glad that the Island of Mostly People I Like didn't get screwed.

"... and nobody had to compete for their loved ones..." "Daddy, I'm bored. Isn't there anybody cool here, like Boston Rob?"

Everybody with kids, send them out looking for immunity idols.

Oh, for fuck's sake!

I think the producers drug everyone's water to make them cry more.

At this rate, the family members will still be there when it's time for tribal council.

Just once, can't we see a normal person on this show? I want to see a player muttering "god damn it, I came here to get a vacation away from my family..."

Okey dokey... Is everyone ready to pretend they still care who wins?

Neither the best grooming, nor the best bat signal, but close enough that I accept your hypothesis.

That was distracting. And I say this as a person who has no problem at all with, like, a giant talking sharkman.

I can hand-wave the groceries, etc thing with some kind of "loophole for international corporations" schtick. Possibly with Legion of Doom Europe involved. Hell, probably with Lex himself involved. We never saw a body. And banks are as powerful as supervillains, and often associate with them, so they've managed to loophole their way in too. What I can't figure out is how the hell Arkham is still running.

I think if Jeff wants any song to play during challenges, he should stop playing sports announcer and just sing. I want to see him pick up a microphone and go into full-on Bill Murray SNL lounge act mode.

Seeing how I'm almost at the end of season 1 in my billionth rewatch of "Community," it should be pretty much impossible to forget that Jim Rash is playing The Riddler. I mean, he looks like him, he sounds like him... come on, he's even in charge of a college now! Or at least he was. Yet, I was into this show enough that it didn't even cross my mind until the end. This show is good enough that I'm enjoying these characters as themselves, not as the actors playing them. The writers didn't forget, though. That final line about awakening something in Babs? That was a pure Dean Pelton shoutout.

I love how in that peanut butter and yoga video, right after Rob says that the food situation has never been this bad before, the scene changes immediately to include a profile of his beer belly.

Well, yeah, but it's a lot easier on production than making up new challenges.

Adam's gamble was a gift from the heavens bestowed upon the bored host of a terrible season. And I can't even really blame Jeff for making a bigger deal out of it. Even after Jeff established that, yes, it was just part of the podium, Adam was still saying "I want to play it! Can I play it?" By that point, if Jeff hadn't leaned in and had a bit of fun he would have lost his Smarmy Game Show Host license. And rightfully so. I did think it was awkward for a few seconds at the very beginning, when Jeff had to decide if he was going to let Adam invading his personal space get in the way of a good WTF TV moment. But, now that the ice is broken, I suspect he will announce that it is time for an all-women season. And the idols will be hidden in Jeff's hat, Jeff's shirt, Jeff's pockets, Jeff's trailer, and Jeff's banana hammock... which I assume has a picture of Jeff on it.
