The fact that Justin being a dick to a cabbie screwed his chances, is glorious. If he just gave a bit, talked a bit nicer, he would have won. And not just that, he screwed Chris and Logan too by chasing off their taxi by being a dick. They're the ones who should be pissed. And really, rhyming off all the things you won, the money, the trips, and still being a bitter bitch by stating 'but it's not a million' when other teams won absolutely nothing? Get over yourself.

Natalie's fake scar was the only thing I really got - she faked an injury to get away and get custody from her emotionally abusive boyfriend. But somehow her going to quantico erased that and he got custody anyway. So the half sister was a catfish? Simons elaborate bomb plan was just a fake bomb plan in order to get people to talk to each other? Yeah like that happens so easily in this day and age.

What is this Feeling? My fav wins? That never happens. They did seem to turn up the bitchy on Mame this week. She just kept ragging on Lacey and Nyle in her talking heads. And girl, no one carI s about your relationship with Justin. I also feel real bad for her aunt and uncle. I get it, not being loved by your parents is hard. But we're her aunt and uncle also terrible? I mean, they got her into pageants and she seems successful enough in that circuit. Her mom does seem standoffish but I'm sure she's just not comfortable in this environment...and also maybe she just isn't loving.

Justin shows just how ugly he is when the second he's not in first, he turns on his girlfriend and becomes a dick to cab drivers. Diana deserves so much more than that guy. All she says is, don't be a dick to the guy who essentially holds your game life in his hands, and he tells her she's not being productive? and if he's not careful, he's going to get those fingers snapped off that he keeps wagging around on all his wins. I never really cared for the cheerleaders, but they were very sweet to each other in the end (which is more I can say for some)

I didn't expect to like Jason but he is bringing truth bombs tonight I loved him pointing out the non-reactions to Sam but a,so understood it from a director point of view- everything got quiet so it seemed focused on him only. So you'd imagine they'd all be like that, all focused inward. But I'd be like Jason and probably kill the kid too. Okay Major is such a smartass I love bim

While I didn't like joes comment about the rain not bothering him, I hated Tasha's "shows who is selfish and who is not". Like its not selfish to play for immunity when you know it's almost guaranteed (well clearly not after this tribal) that you'll go home. Also didn't care for Jeremy's comment after the first reward about Keith having to hold back (whoever) while Joe had to push two girls, like it was Joes fault he had two girls hanging off him. Blame the challenge for putting men against women, not Joe for not standing by becaus he didn't want to put his hands on the girls. But yay the return of the story challenge. I do like how they're reusing challenges from old seasons, and not just repeats of the season before.

Greg posted about having done the last shot so they've finished filming last week. I do wonder how much of the audience had no idea glen was alive. With all this talk about it being top secret, it was immediately spoiled to me that he was still alive so clearly they didn't hide it too well. But I don't know if that's just because I follow the show online, though try to avoid spoilers, or what. I wish I didn't know because the surprise would have been great. Though the rage would have been greater...

Pretty sure gale, Scott, Steven and Ken will all be on. Four? How unnecessary

Looks like Ken Jeong will be on tonight, which could be interesting. I find him hilarious and he is smart but I don't want him and Hardwick riffing all episode. There will also be two mystery guests and I hate that that may interest me enough to stay up late. Though since I've been spoiled because the internet has no chill, I have a feeling of who it will be.

To me, I saw that Lacey picked up the dog and the photographer turned to her and started shooting. The whole thing was voice overed so you couldn't hear if the photographer asked her to do it or not, but they were always standing right out of the frame when one contestant was shooting. So I'm not quick to fully blame Lacey for that one. Blame sleezy Cobrasnake for that (you would like his shirt, Mikey) And I'm not sure guys, is it Lacey vs Mame, Nyle vs Mikey? That wasn't very clear. They really are setting Mikey up for the win - sad story mentioned every ten min an episode, he struggles at the last photo shoot against classically handsome model, he becomes a non factor in the Mame drama because he's the single one. Also, the lady at the photo shoot with her "butterflies" for Nyle and flirty eyes with Mikey to make him better - quite possibly the grossest thing this season.

I mean, they zoomed in/focussed on the license plate when Daryl uncovered it, which indicated that it was the name they kept saying. It clicked for me right away, but I also didn't care enough about those woods people to remember what they even said about her/the truck. There are some things like that I agree with you all, that weren't overly clear on the show - like I don't think I realized the girl who Jessie put down last week was actually Betsy (of Betsy and bitten guy with Michonne) until I watched Talking Dead.

You'd be surprised at what some fans think - Chris has to remind us every week that he has no idea what's happening and that's not because he enjoys saying it. I'm sure that's all he gets asked. People probably think that Rooker has friends on the inside that tell him. I was happy that Rooker said he still watches and is allowed to be a fan now. It kind of throws me when some people are like "not watching that anymore" once they get killed.

Daryl is not interesting enough to me to carry an episode (which was proven to me with Still in season 4) so I'm not overly excited about this episode. He's been a fine right hand man, his presence in an episode is fine, but to me he's no leading man. I do enjoy Sasha and Abe but I fear it'll focus more on precious Daryl then the two of them.

I knew she wouldn't get rid of anyone. Particularly with Mikey in the bottom. Mame cried all episode, Mikey cried through her talking head, nothing from me. Nyle gets a slight tear in his eye and I burst out crying. I can't remember the last time they had someone this likeable and actually does well, on this show. I feared for Lacey because all she had was divorced parents - Mikey's jailed/drugged/non college family, Mame's transatlantic parents. She had no chance in the sob story category. Nyle's photos were by far the best, his mom is amazing, and given he had the 10 on the challenge, I call complete bullshit that Mame was called first. Her mom was rocking the 2nd photo but I always feel nothing from her. Mikey is still gross, the pope is catholic.

Aired In Canada last night so hope this is okay As much as the whole Riddle thing is a plot device, he has a completely valid claim of the fact that Gabby should not be working under Casey. In any way. It has continually been a problem so why she hasn't moved houses, I don't know. Well I do, she's Gabby. She can do anything. And really, did I miss the issue with the fact that he brought up the baby? It is a traumatizing thing. She was in the hospital, lost a baby, that all factors in to her mental and physical state. Why the outrage? Other than the fact that the doctor cleared her already. But I'd be questioning the crap out of that house too with all the shit that goes on. And Gabby, you won a bar. Have the wedding there if it's so damn important. Don't guilt trip your boss. I normally like their community involvement but they've become so self important about it.

Zach Levi has been on the show before, back in the first season. He's a fan of the show runs the 'nerd machine' or whatever the hell so he has more knowledge of the show than most of the guests they've had. Alex seemed well aware that Jessie isn't liked, and her overcompensating for that made the episode real awkward. I feel like they talked about nothing the entire episode. Aaron finally gets more than a line and they barely addressed his stepping up, the guilt. I know they're avoiding the Glenn issue but they just blazed right over the whole Maggie Aaron storyline. They seemed more interested in riffing then addressing the actual episode.

I could not get passed the fact that the fellow actor was played by the guy who voices Bob from Bob's Burgers. So hilariously distracting

Unfortunately it seems this half season is following suit of the last few where there is only focus on a small portion of the cast per episode. Which I thought they had learned from that, but apparently not. It seems like we'll only stay with Alexandria next episode, probably Daryl/Sasha/Abe the one after. I'd assume (spoilered out because I can't recall if previews are spoilers?) . Which leads us into the mid season finale in which THE SLOWEST HERD ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET may finally reach Alexandria despite all the noise and passage of time. If the entire half season only takes place over a day, dear lord.

I can't imagine Mikey winning this after all he does every episode his talk about sex. Just. He's so disgusting. And I can't believe his bro-presentation won. I wouldn't give him a cent if he came and presented that way. Mamie's photo was terrible. After all the talk of her flinging and moving and being amazing, they use a test shot of her looking shell shocked? Really? But Nyle's was bad because he wasn't doing enough? And yes, also disgusted that they seem to be trying to make him fail. I don't know if it's more this season than others, that they have so many speaking/darkness shoots or it's just noticeable now because of how he struggles and how they gave zero thought for him.

I've always loved Morgan/Lennie James so I was excited to see his journey from Clear to now. But with 90min, I hope they show some of the fallout at Alexandria. I can't see how they can fill 90 min with Morgan finally coming to his senses, meeting someone who teaches his pole skills, and then him following our group to Washington. This show just needs to stop giving episodes to one/two characters. It rarely works and only makes me want to see the other characters, no matter how much I like the people in it. Or in some cases, makes me dislike them(aka Beth/Daryl of s4)

Mikey with his hair pulled back in the photoshoot was the first time I got him being attractive, Then of course he opened his mouth and ruined it immediately. I was swearing for the last half that if they kicked Lacey out and Hadassah stayed.... I can't believe she thought it would be a good idea to come at Kelly, of all judges, and not ask how she can approve but why they're so mean and why they think Lacey is perfect. Speaking of perfect, Nyle.

People only get the episodes in advance in order to talk about the show. Yvette watches normally like the rest of us, but the powers that be would rather them have a legitimate thing to say and not just gut reactions, so they send the episodes a few days in advance.

He gets it in the same amount of time. Never weeks,before. He has also said that he only watches it the day before too since he's afraid to slip up and say something

Just finished watching and I'm a bit torn. I remember being gutted by Into Thin Air but I also haven't read it for some time. Some of the few things I do remember weren't really included or explained very well. I understand time constraints and all, but I do highly suggest reading the book for more detail. I may re-read it myself given there are some things I don't remember happening and seemed a bit too Hollywood to be true, but I don't know if they would completely make something up in a story like this. Overall they did the best they could. I had zero connection with Beck so the focus on him annoyed me. I did lose track myself at who certain people were. However, it seems like Kraukaur isn't all that pleased with it which also isn't great - http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-jon-krakauer-everest-into-thin-air-20150925-story.html

I have a hard time judging Hardwick because I don't know if I'm annoyed by him because he's become overexposed to me (since I watch his other show) or he has gone off the rails with TWD. I do rewatch older episodes and I don't mind him then. I feel like it was a combination of the new hour long format + quizzes and polls, along with him doing @midnight(which is a comedy based show that he ramps up his excitement to 11,000) so he has gotten less serious and more jokey and internet-y on TD.
