Dressing up is a sign of respect. You dress up for job interviews and ultimately that's what this show is about. They don't know what to look for, so they don't notice what should be there but isn't.

The producers might cut it to one nominee each with the winning HoH getting to pick a replacement nominee, but allowed to keep the losing HoH's nominee. I'm surprised they aren't making an adjustment already; two thirds of the house being either HoH or a nominee is a bit much.

IMU nudists carry a towel to sit on furniture in public areas.

The ads are based on ones in Japan using a talking dog. To quote Sprint's director of advertising, "the animal became a hamster in a plastic ball as the creative team here thought of “mobile” animals".

And maybe check out the maintenance area and shop classes for any tools that could be useful.

I don;t recall anyone on Naked Vegas ever getting naked. The show was always blaming clients and venues for having people cover up what the producers would have had to pay to be blurred,

Planes are only statistically safer as a group because there are rules setting a minimum standard for the condition of the plane and pilot. It's safer to be with a good driver in a well-maintained car than on a flight picked at random. Self-driving cars promise to take over for the folks who don't belong behind the wheel and flip the statistics.

Somebody who works for a supplier commented in another forum a couple of years ago that the industry is a small community where everyone knows everyone else and everybody is too busy with work to compete on a show like this. That makes it tough to come up with more than a dozen fresh contestants season after season. Half the cast of S5 had already competed in a prior season.

That's not at all an unreasonable idea, although it's probably more a matter of her past showings in things involving memory and details than her application. Producers of other reality shows have sometimes been blatant about keeping "the gay guy" as long as possible, presumably for some sort of viewership reason. However, Nicole has shown the same kind of skills, and actually didn't lose by much, so was this the best choice of comp if that's what the producers wanted? I wasn't paying attention during this conversation, but I think any name that refers to the number of people, like Quad Squad does, is a bad idea, especially in a double elimination week.

All of the picks were made from real people who had real backstories (in this case, giving out peanuts to neighborhood children), so I don't know if they were allowed to come up with something different. They were free to make up anything they wanted about the looks they created. In fairness to the contestant who chose to go with a rat, the challenge did say they had the option of going with a characteristic of the mobster rather than his nickname. The complaint that nothing about ratman saying "TickTock" was fair because the reference to Dick Tracy implied that they shouldn't completely disregard the nickname, even if they weren't basing the character on it.

As hostess, Amy needs to be wearing something to distinguish her at a glance from a contestant, but it could be some sort of neckwear or headdress because I agree that she shouldn't be so covered up when everyone else is naked. Have they mentioned where this island is? The show's casual attitude about safety makes me think they're not on U.S. soil. I've seen the same thing on prior VH1 shows shot in Mexico.

Why does "the most interesting man in the world" tell you to "stay thirsty"? Most beverage companies would want you to guzzle their product (although they're not allowed to go beyond something like "drink up" about anything alcoholic).

Does the title of this episode refer to the writers? If you toss something into a pit, you're not going to hear anything if the bottom is soft (maybe sand and vegetation). Why was it so difficult to grasp the idea that a pair of tunnels could curve back and meet each other again down the line? Rhetorical question. Everyone on this show is profoundly stupid.

Mr. Silly Putty looked like an unfinished G'Kar. I preferred Sasha's alien, but have no problem with the judges giving Stella extra points for the difficulty of accomplishing what she did.

She sometimes takes on the kind of exaggerated style of speech reminiscent of what some movies have done with African-American characters for comedic effect.

Raj has never had any trouble getting one night stands. Perhaps they could follow the lead of Howard's comment to Bernadette when they were dating and have one turn into a relationship. Maybe Raj doesn't even realize what happened, like Leonard didn't realize Stephanie had moved in, I'd like to see the writers pick a last name for Penny and start dropping hints. They could save revealing it until some time when it could slip casually into a scene (worst case, when she and Leonard are getting married).

I'll take politically-incorrect comments without antipathy over carefully chosen words layered with negativity any day. Jocasta acts like she's trying to get someone to forget themselves and say something unfortunate.

I find it even worse when the guys go into WWE mode and start posturing too; they tend to do this for "they better not come after me" speeches.

I totally loved that one of the first things Rose asked Ten was whether he could change back. CE was able to muster the kind of gravitas that made you believe that even a Dalek would consider him a threat. A strong Doctor means that the writers don't have to water down his companion(s) and associates to keep him the hero of the show. One aspect of Nine's season I liked was that it addressed issues that were glossed over in prior seasons, like does anyone ever have second thoughts about running off with this "Doctor" guy they hardly know? Are there any consequences to them disappearing? Seeing Nine get slapped by Rose's mother was fantastic.

How can you have a tunnel extending into anything there? Nobody builds a building right up against a cliff or mound of earth, so a hole would just take you outside. And that's assuming the locker isn't on an interior wall (as practically all are), in which case you should be seeing a classroom or office instead of a tunnel.

Probably nothing adequate for this purpose, but they should have been able to rig up something on deck sufficient to at least roast the bodies to a high enough temperature to be safe to dump.

Aaryn lost her job last season because of some fairly innocent comments that sounded a lot worse collected together in print, so you have to expect contestants this season to be extra careful. It was clarified (somewhat belatedly, IMO) while the contestants were setting up their dominoes.

I think you're underestimating the difficulty of the non-verbal part of the job - moving and reacting appropriately and being able to repeat exactly what you did for a re-shoot. IMHO, Kaley and Jim really stand out in this respect. Written properly, Sheldon dealing with change, including trying his hand at unfamiliar things, can be funny. Unfortunately, it has been hit and miss, mostly miss lately. I am amazed that there has yet to be any mention of branes on this show. Even Eureka managed to work in a p-brane joke.

Is that the one where there's two of him? Although the ad focuses on the dryer, I think he's also there as the washer. These ads are a waste of Colin's talent. The writers need to go grab some Eureka DVD's and see what he can do.

Are you suggesting the writers don't have a long term plan and they're just making it up as they go along? That would mean they never expected to get a second season.
