Are one giant pink curler and a raccoon tail dye job on point for 2023?

"I'm 100% behind...because I'm going to push you ass under a bus going off a cliff if you don't do as I command."

True. But 1) Hisam is such a touchy drama queen who knows what perceived slight would make him not vote for someone. 2) If he does make it to the jury phase, I would expect him to DOR unless he gets booted at final 3. I don't see his ego allowing him to spend any time in the jury house.

Who was older? Did Jerry win HOH in his season?

Taking out Hisam is not getting blood on your hands. Everyone needs to stop saying that. He has no friends, no allies and no no one is going to come after you for revenge if you get him out. On the contrary the other HGs will request booze to throw you a party. I mean, they'll ask for booze regardless but you know what I mean.

How did Bowie get thrown in as a potential?

I liked those too. And they gotta do something to fill out the schedule. They already relied heavily on TPIR at Night last year to fill in between Survivor seasons.

Nevermind. Not worth it.

She was the cashier whenever the game required the contestants to check out.

So did Wendy lose her job to makes way for Hunter? Thanks a lot, nepotism!

I hope it happens. I just can't myself up for (more) disappointment.

Yes, stop trying to take food out his kid's mouth.

Do you seriously believe there will be a blindside? While they have become stock in trade on Survivor, this show seems to actively avoid them. There have been several times the past few years where the vote has flipped b(a minor miracle itself lately) and all systems are are go, only for it to be decided to tell the person once the feeds go down so they can prepared. Because they don't care about our entertainment. Or the person's feelings. Or victim noises. We go in to the Live show expecting fireworks and get all end up with a dead Bic lighter.

Although we don't know when, we do know the Xindi join the Federation. Even if they aren't part of the Federation yet they should be getting the Xindi-Reptelian's insight on dealing with a reptilian race. And if they are part of the Federation, it should be the Xindi fronting at least the negotiations of not the war with the Gorn.

They seemed more into this than they did on premiere night, where the exhibited less enthusiasm than Frankie Grande without glitter or camera on him. My guess is they're slipping something in the food to make them more malleable.

Hisam told him he didn't care who Jared sent, as long as it wasn't Reilly, Matt or Cameron. Jared didn't want to cross Hisam and make himself a target. He still needed to send someone from his side to not look like he was with the older group. So much second hand embarrassment (which is apparently the real theme of the season). I could just imagine the production intern off to the side "now look really, really cared. I said scared not constipated, houseguests." Hisam is such a drama queen. He talks more like a corporate HR drone than a doctor.

How are Fessy, Josh and Paulie not "Vets" when they have been doing The Challenge for years? I stopped watching The Challenge before it stopped being just RW/RR people. Where did the 3 non-RW vets come from? Tyler and Angela broke up? What happened? He couldn't stand to be away from during All Stars. Do they have a hard time getting Amazing Racers to sign up for this or do they just not ask them? I prefer to think it's the former because AR cast real people more often than not who aren't interested in switching careers to Professional Reality Famewhore. I still don't remember Desi from her Survivor season but I'm glad she got to come back this year because going out thanks to Enzo was a pretty big slap in the face. Paulie Califorie: From Pie Baking Boy to Grown Ass Man. A man that dresses like Fred Flintstone on a Cabaret Crawl.

So Production must have watched a bunch of episodes of Storage Wars and thought "Hey, let's go try to buy a locker a see what we can find to use on the show. As a bonus, we can try to recruit that douchy guy that dresses like a reject from auditions for extras in Fast and Furious to be a houseguest!". And apparently they found a Video Toaster circa 1995 used for season one of the syndicated hit Time Trax (and one episode of Babylon 5). And by God they're going to get their money's worth on the $7.95 they spent on that locker and use the hell out of those SFX in every episode this season. But I exaggerate. They're really using an old Commodore 64 Disney used to proof of concept Tron. For the love of the multiverse I am so sick of unanimous votes. For all the complaints about Survivor's constant changes to its bells and whistles, when gets to expected and stale at least they try to throw a wrench in the works to keep things from being boring,. "They're forced to play the game like never before!" If only, Julie. Different season, same shit. jhange the way nominations are picked, rework the veto, give the ants a vote. Just do something.

Me too. Clearly this means she's some sort of plant.

Kirk absolutely knew about David. He says to Carol "I stayed away like you asked.'". Carol makes it clear she didn't want David following in his father's footsteps, running around the galaxy and had Kirk agree not to have a relationship with him. David is aware of Kirk, that he dated his mother and of his space cowboy reputation but has no idea Kirk is his father. As David holds a phaser on the Away Team, thinking they killed the Regula I crew and tried to steal Genesis, Carol tells him of course Kirk didn't, that he's his father.

I get why TV and movie actors would do a commercial for the most part but some are just WTF. I had previously mentioned Ben Affleck doing one for Dunkin Donuts (apparently he really like Dunkin and did it as a lark). The one currently running I don't get is Jordana Brewster doing a commercial....The General insurance of all things. She's filming a car chase and is worried her car insurance is late. But don't fear, Shaq tells her The General lets her change her due date, which is great because she's climbing on a rope ladder being hauled off by a helicopter so it'll be a while before she can pay it. Like, really? You have Fast and Furious money so do you really need to do a commercial. And if you're are going to do commercials you pick the low rent insurance company that mainly advertises during afternoon court shows. And agree to do a lame riff on the franchise that made you famous? I can't believe doing a The General commercial makes you more attractive when someone is casting a major film.

Commercials are running for the new season set to...Gimme Shelter. Really? CBS shelled out for the Stones for a Survivor commercial?

Are you saying there are bitches conspiring against you?

So Brittney, Danielle and Frankie are totally joining the game and making it an even 20, right? I don't like most of these people already but Corey is near the top. How did he fit through that hole when his head is so big? I didn't get the last comp. At all. Was there any pull being applied? Julie was trying to channel Jeff Probst about how awesomely tough they were and they're all lying there like a dog commanded to play dead. Also Julie, "nether regions" has a completely different connotation than "nether world". For Food Network fans, Red is like some bastard child of baler and Food Network Star winner Jason Smith and pumpkin carver Tater. This is not a good thing. I call foul on the Humil--no, I'm not typing that. The kicking comp. Those boots were hitting the seats. Not asses (or buttocks) were hit. Were there HGs given downers before the live show? It was so weird watching their packages where they play along about being "surprised" by their house key and going on about what huge fans they are and then in person it's like the cast 16 Darias. The time laser skit required some kind of reaction (I opted a double helping of second hand embarrassment) but from them? Nada. You can get a degree in flute? Not music but specifically in flute? More surprising, apparently "a lot" people play flute and it's a cutthroat world. I wouldn't put those things together but then again I was surprised years ago when I watched a show about the Pillsbury Bake Off and the pie bakers are catty AF and granny will cut a bit h if you mess with her crust.

Ken Howard was in Death in Hawaii where he plays Jessica's friend who's the head of sla vaguely Kennedy -esque family.
