I'm not a Sai fan, but I'm happy now she has a chance to be the first jury boot, and just sitting there and seething in Loser's Lounge for the second half of the season.

Sai is going to be LIVID

It seems the network which airs SNW in Europe said on Twitter that they would start season 3 on August 1. Apparently those guys normally get episodes a day or so after they're shown in the US. That puts it on Paramount+ on or around July 31. Obviously no official word from Paramount yet, so we'll see.

Donathan or bust! I want another visit from Aunt Patty. If Patty is unavailable, maybe his brother Jimothy,

Finally caught up. Are we just ignoring Clayton's hairdo?

I get that. I guess we'll know if they are still together at ATFR. But something about this just rubs me the wrong way. Like he said something 2-3 episodes ago and production went WHOA NELLY WE CAN WORK WITH THIS.

I've struggled to find a rooting interest this season since Rose left, but I think I have one now: I want Grant to pick someone other than Juliana. Only because she would be the most fun out these people on BiP. (My inner adolescent wouldn't object to having her in a bikini for a few weeks either.) But I think he actually IS going to pick her. I'm not fully buying into this indecisiveness narrative, and I think he's not ready to become a Mormon for someone he met two months ago. Justice for Rose!

Looks like Gabby got her happily ever after https://ew.com/bachelorette-traitors-gabby-windey-marries-robby-hoffman-11691088

Typical... ummm... Scorpio.

Bah. Cut it to 13 days. Reward in the morning, Immunity for lunch, TC at dinnertime, then back to camp for vitamins and IV fluids. Survivor 51: Speed Run

Capitalism can get inconvenient. I'm sure S3 will come out when the people in charge decide it's most profitable to do so.

It would have been renewed if instead of country singers and power balladeers, they gave us a Tibetan throat singer, an Armenian folk singer, a yodeler, a fadista, a Benedictine monk and his Gregorian chants, a Pakistani Sufi singer, and one intimidated hip-hop artist trying to blend it together. An opportunity missed.

New Rule for the show: No more singers or songwriters. If you want a musician, there are plenty of tuba players and accordion enthusiasts who are looking for love. I'm looking forward to The Banjorette.

Also, it took me a minute but I figured out who Rose reminds me of: Lyndisty from that one episode of Babylon 5 where Vir almost got lucky. Though she doesn't look much like Carmen Thomas, the actress who played her.

If Alli Jo snaps and throws a punch, this becomes the best season ever.
