    She orchestrated the reversal of a unanimous decision using an idol and a flipped vote, and got away clean.  The only people that know about it are Noura and Dean.  And if she can outlast them and make F3, then she's got a big plus on her side.

    Actually, Noura only knows that Kellie suggested a Jack "safety" vote. She doesn't know where Dean got his idol. Kellie can say that Dean told her he would be playing an idol (true) and would vote for Jack (also true), and that she still voted for Dean (also true). There's no real reason for Dean to rat out Kellie, but if he does, she can deny it and no one else would know the real truth.

    Arianna was ahead of Will & Sonny, who both then caught up to her with John & Marlena.  Yes, still not a good idea to let a younger child get out of view.

    To be fair, John and Marlena live in the penthouse, so theirs is the only apartment on that floor, with a private elevator. So letting Ari run ahead isn't that big of a deal.

  3. If they actually WANTED to win immunity challenges, they should have gotten rid of Karishma. But, they don't. They WANT to lose the next three immunity challenges to get rid of the 3 former other tribe members while protecting the 4 members of their previous tribe on the evenly divided other tribe. Once they've gotten rid of the 3, then they can start winning. I predict that Karishma will be the last to go of the 3.

    Another irony is that Vince may have inadvertently gotten Karishma to speak up (or whisper up) and get him voted out.  Earlier she was whining that "The only name they want to write down is Karishma." and Vince said something to the effect of "You need to say what you want to happen and it will happen."    If the women really did change their votes after Karishma whispered to them, Vince might have done himself in by trying to encourage Karishma.  

    Karishma is really lucky to still be there. Her whispering at TC should have tipped off Vince that something was up. If he'd been spooked and played his idol, she'd be gone. Since she knew the men were targeting her in the "split" vote, and suspected that Vince might have an idol, the smarter play was to go after Tom. Plus Vince was kinda allied with her while Tom was going to write down her name.

    I can maybe understand the other women preferring to keep Tom so as not to upset the two younger men (who they think they need for challenges, although this may not be true), but getting rid of a potential ally over a member of the "opposition" doesn't make a lot of sense.

    I will agree here. But I also agree that Ron gave Julie lines that even Julie of yesteryear would likely not have said. She has hated people, but I don't recall her being such a blatant, obvious bigot with the racial epithets. But then Ron never writers nuance, so if he needs a black hat/white hat, he makes the roles more than obvious.

    Julie has always been a bigot. She broke up Valerie and David because she didn't want her son dating a black woman.

    I have been wondering about the block.  What would happen if the person being blocked didn't turn around?  When Kelly pushed her block on Blake, he almost didn't.  Would Kelly no longer have a block, or would she be able to use it again?

    I think once they've used their block, even if it had no effect, they no longer have it.

    Technically, if Piper let the marble roll down the sink it would get stuck in the U-bend and remain in the house. Whoever is looking for her could still find the house. She should have plopped it in the toilet.

    Excellent point. I'd just assumed that it would enter the wastewater flow into Peconic Bay, but you're probably right about the U-bend. I'm sure that in the show, this will not be the case and the tracker will be gone.

    Of course, the not-NTSB folks would be watching the police chief's house and would know that Piper is back there anyway.

    I can't believe that not a SINGLE damned person figured out in the IC that you could UNWIND the ropes to make them stretch further/make climbing easier. IT seemed so obvious to me.

    Yeah, it certainly looked like the obvious play.

    Elizabeth was an idiot to agree to Rob's "contest," and a bigger idiot to lie about what was on IoI. A much better play would have been to tell most of the truth, including that Rob and Sandra were there and taught her to make fire, but say that she'd refused Rob's offer.

    The lie she did tell would have made her tribemates suspicious that she'd actually picked the correct urn and won an advantage of some sort.

    Of course, there's no way they'd vote out the Olympic swimmer at the first tribal council, so it probably didn't matter what she did (for now), but this will all come back to bite her later on when they find out she was lying.

    My favorite player right now is Janet, the lifeguard. She's a real badass, which probably means they'll keep her until the merge and then cut her loose as soon as she loses individual immunity.

    Did anyone else think Jennifer was going to bring up Laura and her childhood as a way to " bond" with Henry? 

    Definitely. But that would require the writers to know about Days history.

    Did Nicole work at the Center?  I thought she just worked at the church.

    She worked at the Center just before her "death." The church was a lot earlier.

  10. So Piper remembers a lot more than she's letting on. She knew there was a tracking device in her neck (which is now on it's way to Peconic Bay), and that she's responsible for the plane crash.

    They're trying to imply that "Homeland Security" was experimenting on her on Plum Island.

    Unfortunately, the real Plum Island is an agriculture research station, working on animal pathogens (foot and mouth disease, probably anthrax, etc.), so it doesn't really track. But points to them for even knowing where Plum Island is.

     I get that Sophie's trying to gain power through taking over her father's supporters, but I don't get how Sophie intends to pump fake them to actually supporting her own aims. Which presumably do not include hostile anti-fae legislature.

    I'm not sure she has any of her own aims, other than to gain power (and keep it).

  12. You'd think that Salem University Hospital would have instituted SOME sort of security by now. Most real life hospitals require you to have a staff badge or sign in as a visitor if you don't work there.

    But at SUH, people just waltz in and trash "secure" laboratories willy nilly. And there are still CCTV cameras, right? That's how Eve was discovered to have taken the diary in the first place. So the perpetrator (almost certainly Eve) will be on camera yet again.

    Edited to add: Also, writers, mayors don't make decisions about criminal prosecutions and immunity.

    In the real world, it would be the Governor (if the crime was entirely within the state that Salem is in) or the President (if they crossed state lines or committed a Federal offense) who would have the final say, not the Mayor.

    I really wish they hadn't closed the old Deadwood forum.  I am just finishing up season 3 and have some questions for some of the last episodes.  I can't afford to get involved in an open discussion because most people have already seen the 3 seasons and the movie.

    If you pm me, perhaps I can answer your questions without referencing the movie.
