The multiple-choice option does remove the possibility of Rudy’s glorious “I dunno” responses from OG Survivor, though. 🤣

So many double-entendres in the immunity challenge. I don't particularly like Yam Yam, but I appreciated his giggling at Jeff's remark at his "inability to properly handle his ball" or whatever it was. As soon as I saw the gyroscope reward challenge, I thanked Jebus that I wasn't strapped into that thing because I would have immediately puked, and the aftermath of that would be horrific. Loved Carolyn losing the ball (heh) and almost wandering off into the woods, though. Is this the most unathletic final five ever? They'd all kick my ass, but there's no obvious challenge beast remaining.

Seriously. Because it can't be said enough, shut UP, Jeff! On the plus side, I don't believe he said "let's git it ooooooon" like he normally does, so I'll take that temporary win.

Well, today I learned that there’s a Lauren. And she’s short.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Loved that Martin Angelic’ super-secret file room with the stealthy wine rack entryway HAD A WINDOW.

I assumed Kesi was the Mole when she was the first player introduced. The producers love to pull stunts like that. 🤷‍♀️

Claudia & Floss: the spin-off we all need and deserve, with nary a troubled twin in sight. Make it happen, Netflix. Is every building in Echo Falls made of newspaper and dry twigs?

I require a character with a eyepatch and some classic demonic possession. Immediately. Soooo… are we assuming that Mattie was bottle-fed? And that Jack is FUCKING STUPID?

I’m mainly here for the goddamn delight that is Karen Robinson. Oh, and for moments like these: Dad: “We always want you to feel welcome here. Isn’t that right, Claudia?” Claudia: <glares angrily>

I thought it was hilarious that this self-aggrandizing "bad-ass" apparently still lived at Mommy and Daddy's house. And what the hell did they think he did all day???

They gave the angry, drunk teenagers fire. FIRE. I was 23, and yes, this was an excellent reminder of how much I hated most of that music. Except perhaps Sheryl Crow. (Jewel seemed like a "one of these things is not like the other" inclusion).

But no guns. 😉

Elissa's dad: "I was most upset when they took my guns" (probably paraphrased because I may or may not have been shouting at the television). Yes -- that is ABSOLUTELY the greatest injustice that was perpetuated within the community. Who do you believe will portray you in the movie, sir?

Seriously. Consider sunscreen, dude. You look like Hans Moleman.

My ten-year-old wandered in during the immunity challenge and asked me why none of the competitors were telling the loud guy in the blue shirt to SHUT UP.
