Cobb Salad

Especially when they’ve shown the episodes ad nauseam. As a result I just don’t care about this iteration anymore.

Yes. I watched about 10 minutes of it then figured the whole thing was stuff I saw before. I looked ahead to next week and it looks like that’s the finale.

I’ve lost count how many episodes have aired so far and I’m too lazy to look it up … anyway I’ve been wondering the same thing. Since they’re 2 hour episodes, maybe a challenge every hour? Or whittle down to the last 3 or 4 then there’s this nail biting finale where the winner is decided?

I was tempted to skip the episode entirely due to the previews showing Jeff talking about sabotaging the other group. Question is if they allow it and someone (actually Jeff, I can’t imagine anyone else here doing it) does it will they reward it during the recap when they adjust that bogus PSR for each participant.

About building a raft to go down those rapids, I don’t get how one team can build something that can withstand pounding against the rocks and make it through relatively unscathed while the other team builds something that is pretty much the complete opposite and is destroyed by the end of the trip. Somehow Jeff still has all his stuff? It looked like it was all lost at one point. He talked about sabotaging the other team’s raft, maybe he should have been spending his energy into thinking about how to build something more durable. The funniest part about that was per the rules stated later he would have had to wait around for the others to rebuild their raft. He’s not thinking ahead to what the next set of instructions will say.

H&I is showing the Twilight Zone marathon during Independence Day weekend https://www.handitv.com/stories/h-i-celebrates-the-twilight-zone-with-a-special-rod-white-blue-marathon

Decades used to run a Twilight Zone marathon during the Independence Day weekend so since they’ve changed to a comedy show format it looks like H&I is the new home for the marathons. I doubt it’s being added to their regular schedule.

I’ll wager that this scenario will come up again and whoever’s left will probably face the same situation as Sarah. Maybe that time it’ll be Jeff 🤣🤣🤣.

Maybe Gary will scare up some rancid meat for him 😆😆😆.

There’s only one reason I’d like to see Jeff win and that’s the hope if they do this type of competition again he is not invited to participate.

During Jeff’s talking head segments tonight I’ve wanted to punch him through the TV so I’ve been wondering if the cameraman was wanting to do the same. They did it again tonight. About that challenge, too bad about Sarah. From the way the challenge was designed someone was going to be crowded out. I guess Steven wasn’t keeping track of how many trails were being followed already since he couldn’t find one that someone else wasn’t already on, but it looks like survival kicked in when he saw Sarah instead of looking for the last untouched trail. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happens further through the competition.

@TattleTeeny I’m pretty sure the thinking was she’d just disappear as in run into the wrong person or situation. Moving her to the “white trash” part of Lafayette to me implies this was the plan.

I don’t understand why Michael was filming his interrogation of Natalia when he found the donuts. It doesn’t make him look good. All I saw was a little girl just laying on the sofa trying to answer him. Of course he wanted to know who she’s been talking to who would know she’s around and of course on her own. I wouldn’t doubt there’s more footage like this that wasn’t aired. A couple of links to stories from ETOnline, at the end of the first one there’s a mention of an eight part Hulu miniseries about this and the second has a preview with Natalia’s response: https://www.etonline.com/where-natalia-grace-is-now-and-what-she-has-to-say-about-the-orphan-adoption-scandal-205833 https://www.etonline.com/natalia-grace-speaks-out-in-new-special-about-adopted-orphan-scandal-watch-a-preview-exclusive

No, we only saw the woman who took her in through pictures. She’ll probably be a part of the follow up.

Steven’s reaction was heartbreaking. What Jeff said at the end of last night’s episode plus the incident with the pot Jeff that wanted to throw in the river I think pretty much sealed the deal for Steven. They were a team for 60 days in LA and by all appearances got along very well. After this display it seems like that is gone.

I don’t understand how Sarah could give Jeff the fish, even after they all agreed no feeding Jeff. I had been “meh” on her from her first challenge but was starting to like her then this. I don’t get it. I sort of get why Gary gave him some impala, he wanted to keep that pelt to stay warm at night. Cheeny’s line about Jeff - “he’s the one who graduated but you could never figure out how” was classic. 😆 Loved how when Jeff after he’s told the other team got the impala he said “we’re all eating tonight?” and Matt flat out said “no” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes, this is a competition and they all want to win. The 7 of them seem to realize you don’t need to pi$$ people off to do it.

I laughed out loud so hard when that happened. He is getting karma back in spades especially when everyone else is off eating the impala. He’s hungry and they’re eating … when the situation was reversed in the Philippines XL he just didn’t care.

10k seems pretty steep for a van rental, even one that is wheelchair accessible. Did the crowdfund say anything about how long they’re going? (my guess would be no) That’s nice they want to take her on a vacation like this but I’m always suspicious when people do a crowd fund for something like this. If anyone is motivated to help out that’s their business I guess 🤷‍♀️ Do the other kids get to go along as well, or have they not been through so much 🤔?

Besides Pluto TV there’s Tubi TV which I believe has some old TV shows. That may be worth checking out.

Then they show Matt casually walking along like he’s taking a stroll through the park. It would be interesting if after the lukewarm welcome Sarah and Cheeny gave Gary Jeff shows up … then their spirits would be further dampened.

About that scene at the end of the series and that laptop - that’s real good judgement by the producers. Hey, this guy who’s been over the top emotional, let’s let him look at a video on one of our laptops to trigger him more! Yes he is a piece of work.

Yes, they should have been calling in counselors who could ask her questions to determine if she had been sexually abused instead of the Barnetts to tell them “take her back, she’s acting inappropriately toward the men here”. Then the story about the adoption, if what Michael said is accurate (which I’m not sure about at this point given his histrionics later) - if it was the rush job he described they should have walked away. A rule I have is if someone is forcing me into a decision that I must make right away, tomorrow is “too late” I will walk away. I’ll assume they’re hiding something that I will be forced to deal with later without their help.

Same here. Jeff seems impressed with himself. Sure, he can catch fish but I’ve never seen much other talent from him that would put him head and shoulders above others. His behavior of wanting to grab everything else first/hog all the fishing spots like during the Philippines XL reeks of insecurity.

Another stupid cliffhanger. Ugh. Who will Jeff end up with? Who will Matt end up with? So they won’t be on the same team. When Jeff was running down the path it looked like it was going downhill. I was hoping with all of stuff he was carrying that would give him enough momentum to fall. I know it’s mean to think that but he’s such a jerk. He’s complaining about how he’s being treated and it’s only because of the way he’s treated others in past XLs.
