  1. Venus was 100 percent right about voting Charlie off, by the way.  If Tim and Ben hem and haw about giving a Siga name before begrudgingly saying Moriah, then the absolute right play is to target Charlie or Maria since they're the ones Siga REALLY doesn't want to lose. 

    Maria would've been safe due to the "Journey Six" alliance, but Charlie would've been the much more logical boot.  Q and Tevan seemed upset at the idea that Venus would try to vote a man out to keep the women's numbers, but a women's alliance isn't likely to work since Venus/Soda/Liz all hate each other.

    Good start, though I'd probably have a different opinion if Jelinsky was still in the game. He was just a perfect mix of dumb, insufferable and lazy.

    Agreed. If he'd lasted more than an episode, Jelinsky would've really gotten on my nerves.  But as the first one out, he is immediately up there in the Trainwreck First Boot hall of fame.

  3. Remember Austin's confession about how he wished he and Dee could be the next Rob & Amber?  Well, that might be a bit truer than Austin realized, complete with the guy losing a jury vote.

    Did i miss something, or didn't Drew have a "safety without power" advantage?  Did it have an expiration date, or did he play it and I forgot about it?

  4. I was really hoping for a 3-2-1 vote to eliminate Drew, since all of Original Belo (Kellie, Kendra, Bruce) should've been able to realize that Drew is a bigger part of that Reba alliance than Sifu was.  And, because I can't stand Drew.

  5. Beyond casting, the show itself has to take some blame in this.  They go out of their way to make it harder (fewer clothes, limited flint, limited rice) on the players because CBS is too cheap to pay for a 36-day season anymore.  Then they arrange the original Lulu to be very obviously the weakest of the three tribes, to the point that an 0-3 streak seemed almost likely.  So by just nine days in, no wonder it has to at least a couple of people being broken already.

  6. Bowen placing the last sketch in Seattle made me think it was going to be a rare case of an SNL running gag, where suddenly the guy with the long nails would be attacked by a giant dog (i.e. the puppy "destroying Seattle" from the previous sketch)

    I enjoy how 70% of Weekend Update is now everyone dunking on Colin Jost

    I'm not sure I see a way to play this game as a faithful and win, as there seems nothing in the gameplay to reveal the traitors. It sort of comes down to trying to read everyone's mind and that's what seemed to happen here. X is acting different that I would so they must be a traitor.  That seems like a weak thing to make the banishment decisions on.

    In theory this should've been the easiest season to figure out a traitor due to the presence of celebrity contestants. If it's me as part of a 20-person cast, my assumption would've been four traitors --- two "celebs" and two new people.  Plus I absolutely would've suspected that at least one of the Big Brother and Survivor people would be traitor, so Cirie and Cody would've been on my radar from the first minute.

    Of course, sharing these theories with fellow players or at the round table would've also gotten me murdered very quickly. 😁

    This advantage was yet another bust.  It was stupid and just producer manipulation.

    I rolled my eye at Brandon's "you're never really screwed in the game, you can always do something to work your way out" comment.  Tell that to the many players put into no-win situations over the years.

  9. I would love a list of all the advantages and idols still in the game going into the merge. I forget the wording of Jamie and Carson's idols, but they're either already invalid or only valid through next week's episode.

    As someone who has seen my share of State Farm ads, I was dying at the Jake from State Farm commercial. I only wish the husband took Jake's annoying ass down. Also too bad there wasn't a Mahomes cameo.

    I think Mahomes was a little busy last week. :)

    I thought the impression was fine, but as a parody it fell flat because it just seemed like a less good presentation of Jennifer Coolidge's shtick.

    It's hard to parody something that's already comedic.  Coolidge's whole schtick is tongue-in-cheek.

  12. It's happened pretty often. 
    * Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger when they were married
    * Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in the 70's
    * Joe Montana and Walter Payton
    * Hulk Hogan and Mr. T
    * Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito
    * the Olsen Twins
    * Roseanne and Tom Arnold

    and....Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase hosted as a trio when Three Amigos came out!

    A question crossed my mind after the (unanimous against Sami) vote was revealed: what would’ve happened if Sami’s SITD had worked? A revote, with Sami joining the burgeoning list of non-options?

    That's right. Revote, with only Cassidy, Jesse, and Gabler eligible to get votes.

    Is F6 the last time the hidden immunity idols can be used? Because with three active idols and the regular immunity idol, there's a good chance only two people will be eligible for votes next week.

    I'll be very happy if I never have to hear Gabler talk for the rest of the season.  I don't know if he was trying to psych Cody out in that challenge, earn good will with the jury, or paint himself as Ben 2.0, but I was disappointed his minute by minute shout outs seem to help him.

    It might've been all three of your reasons, plus the fourth of Gabler continually talking in order to take his mind off the physical strain.

    That list of who was holding what advantage was certainly handy.

    They should've introduced that graphic 10 seasons ago, when the advantages and idols really got silly

    The younger versions were well cast, although poor Brad/Rob's "Canadian" accent came and went a bit.

    Did anyone else think the younger versions were going to be played by the five main actors?  Maybe this was the original plan before Nicola Coughlan's schedule got in the way?

    Yeah, it must have been pretty bad for them to keep controlling, condescending Geo over her. Because if they had come through on the vote, it would have proved their loyalty and she would have calmed down. Whereas Geo is not going to magically become any less controlling or condescending.

    That's the other downside of the blue tribe getting so little airtime.  Geo's only content was talking about his background and his struggles about being accepted.....but this week, he's suddenly been "controlling and condescending" this whole time.

    Now we know why Sharik hasn’t done any roadblocks so far.  I think her father is going to be doing them from here on out.

    This isn't allowed in the rules.  Each teammate has to do an even number of roadblocks, or at least mostly even (I think they can be 7-5 or something).

    I couldn't really tell what was going on this episode. It's not that I was confused, more that the editors seemed to be getting tricky. The early tasks seemed to take so much time (Anatomy/Cheese Wheel) but then everyone bunched up at Ducati in a way that made it seem like the leads were not that substantial. And then I couldn't really tell if the motorcycle task ate up a lot of time. Obviously some people struggled more than others but the Military Brothers kept their lead, the Twins were able to catch up, and most people still left around roughly the same time.

    I'm not sure if it's tricky editing, or that these challenges are challenging enough that they're leading to a lot of extremely varied finish times.  The cheese wheel task has seemed like the only one that has been pretty straight forward over the last two episodes.

  20. With seven departures since last year, the SNL cast is down to a measly......um, 14 people.  And it's basically 17 if you count the "Please Don't Destroy" trio.

    It's probably safe to guess that at least a couple of new cast members will be added.  But, SNL is already so loaded that I'd prefer to see the show make better use of the actors already on board.
