    I know this has been a theory floating around on Reddit for awhile.  Watching the show, Kody is obviously puppy panting enamoured by Robyn, but in the honeymoon episode he looks at her with lust. I have always thought that they did keep the sexual relationship until after the spiritual marriage.

    Do you really hate us all that much?!?

    And if I recall correctly Kodouche's name is on all the lots so she would have to share any profits with him.  Sad...

    I'm sure she must have some dirt on him that he'd get in trouble with the law for, and if she got a savvy lawyer, could put the screws to him to sign over his share to her.

    They also put a bar set up on the back table, replete with hard liquor.*  Just so we know what a bad guy he is.

    *Meanwhile in Phylth's room we have the liquor replaced with sparkling water in a green bottle (but not Perrier) and lo, and behold, different lamps!  I think this qualifies as a reason to open that fine cabernet I have and have two drinks.  Cheers!

    Amen to this. I don't even think putting him in a suit would help.  Doesn't the hotel have a barber shop?

    This actor skeeves me out! He doesn't have a gut but he looks like he does, like he's a bloated alkie with a side meth habit. He's disgusting and I don't need to see his body, like, ever.

    My prediction is that Borgnine will spend the summer on a play date with Oliver.

    Who's Oliver...

  4. I agree, the Gouda couple was annoying and the wife seemed like she hated the idea of moving back to her home country. So weird. And the turkey obsession, get over it and order a chicken FFS. OR learn how to cook a turkey outside in a cauldron of oil once a year.

    I saw an episode late last night about a young lady who was close friends with a Cambodian guy at home, and fell in love with Cambodian culture and moved to Phnom Penh. She was lovely and for once, she wasn't obsessed with having everything as it would be in the States. I appreciated that she chose the more traditional - but nice by local standards - option and she seemed very happy there, though the hipster purple polyester velvet couch and chair sitch was odd. Stuff gets mildewy very quickly in SE Asia and that would not have been my first choice on furnishings! That said, if I were her I would have taken the first plush place, for an extra $150/month it was fabulous!

    Guest judge Jeremy had the sultriest voice….how does one speak in that hush tone with such authority?  I was riveted by his elegance.

    This was my biggest takeaway from this epi!

    Why am I not surprised that another spouse of a current character, is back in GC. 
     

    Linden Ashby (Cameron) is Susan Walters’ (Diane) real life husband married 37 years. Kudos to them and they make a good looking couple to boot. 

    A HA! I knew there was something fishy about this shite bucket. My best guess is that the Diane character has been so successful for this shit show, that Susan finally renegotiated her contract to include her husband. Et voila, now we have this stupid ass plot shoved up our collective asses. I fucking hate these show runners. And CBS.

    Bad Kitty, bad bad bad Kitty!

    Hey, hey, hey, I take umbrage with this shittery on culottes! My parents were pretty swinging in the 70's and they took a trip to San Fran back then and brought me back lime green SATIN culottes with a big brass zipper right up the front of my hooch with a giant round pull on it. I mean, come ON! I was the coolest little kid in my 'hood. I felt empowered and sassy and cool AF in those culottes, which I wore with a red,white, & blue bandeau top and matching sheer blouse. I know, I know, but it was the 70's and shit like that just worked, YKWIM? So remember that before you shit upon culottes again dear people!

    Expand  

    Somewhere in the 70’s (it’s all a blur,right?) I had off white culottes with a southwestern patterned trim and matching vest.  I thought I was very stylish at the time. I wore them with my brown mules that had daisys stitched on them. 

    Fuck yeah, you did! And lemme guess, you also had one of those hand tooled leather bags with the stiched sides and painted flowers, #amiright?! I bet you looked fabulous! When I think of this era of fashion, and then I watch this shit show, I honestly don't even know what era they're dressing these people in anymore.

    I kind of remembered this story so I refreshed my memory and looked it up on Wikipedia. There is a lot of the story line there. It's a doozy. I check there if I can't totally remember a story or character.

    I see your commitment to Show History and honor that shit. However, I'm afraid on your deathbed you might want that time back...just a thought...xo

    I LOVE YOU GINGERELLA!!!! Looks like you and I are the only 2 fashionistas here.  I had quite a few pair that I can still picture in my mind. This was around 1969 to 1973 or so.

    Thank you!

    This is so damn funny! Though TBH originally I imagined culottes (which my mother wore in the early 80s, to my embarrassment) instead of skorts, and realized that not even Taylor Swift could make culottes trend.

    Very well said. No one may agree with me on this, but I think you can take all the things you said about players in this game and transport that into what happens in real life. There are people who do everything right, do their jobs properly, are excellent parents and family people  and hopefully do well in life and get very little recognition. But we all know people who give maybe 50% to the above and somehow end up surpassing us all to the top and winning those best of the best rewards. 

    And there is also the adage that 'shit floats to the top', which is also true. I think it all comes down to being in the right place at the right time, period.

    Oooooof, Heidi.....  She built up a fantastic end-game resume there, but I have never seen anyone totally strike out at Final Tribal Council like that.  She went into that FTC on the highest high, with momentum on her side, and totally tanked it.  She was so stiff, so corporate.  She looked like the head of HR at a mediation session.  No warmth, slightly combative with the interrupting, all starchy and austere.  I don't know if that was a choice, to seem more controlled because she knew Carolyn would be flailing all over, and she wanted to provide a measured contrast, or if she just had some sort of stage fright or performance anxiety.  I wonder if she'd been more exuberant "Hey!  Look what I did, y'all!" if she'd have received more votes?

    Carolyn also totally whiffed FTC.  Maybe Carson losing at fire and leaving the game left her grieving.  Maybe with her history, she got too much into her head and thought "I'm not good enough" and kind of gave up.  The Carolyn at FTC looked kind of defeated.  She had no game.  She was never all that great at expressing herself with finessed articulation, but somehow with all the spasmodic movements and dramatic facial expressions and vocal explosions, she managed to get her point across and actually be quite insightful.  The problem was, nobody really saw past the flailing.  I warmed up to Carolyn in the mid-to-late game, I saw that she was hiding in plain sight.  Carolyn had quite the Survivor FTC resume, all it took was an inspired FTC performance to tick off everything she did under their noses, and she might have taken it.  Or at least been a little competitive with Yam Yam. 

    I really have no issues with Yam Yam winning.  He never lost sight of the game.  Sure, he could be petty, but he's human.  In the past, we've all seen the huge alpha males absolutely raging back at camp for people daring--daring!--to write their name down and then go on witch hunts to find the traitors.  Getting votes certainly needled Yam Yam, and there was certainly a time during the early game and just after the merge when I thought he'd be voted out, but he always managed to turn the tide.  Yam Yam was managing his end game from the start.  He took the time to make relationships with everyone.  He was kind and a little goofy and I really do think his behind the scenes machinations and manipulations steered a lot of the game.  And where he couldn't steer, he surfed.  He and Carolyn made a great duo, and out of everyone there, I think he recognized that Carolyn had a great strategic mind under all the big personality.  That was his strength, his insight into people, which gave him a huge advantage.  His social game gave him the win. 

    That said, this season was not Survivor for me.  This was "The Yam Yam and Carolyn Show" with weekly guest stars.  I did not like this at all.  I think the editors got lazy, took a break, and just let the big personalities dominate.  Good editors can make stories out of small moments from B-roll footage.  Sure, they had their moments when they showed their cleverness--that reward trip with Carolyn, Brandon, and Danny was well cut together, and gave us one of the first clues that Carolyn was not the ditz she appears, and was really quite emotionally intelligent and getting more and more frustrated by the minute.  But overall, while the editors may have shown us the path to the win, that was essentially all they showed us.  Oh, and the showmance, which.....blech.  This ain't Big Brother

    Sigh.  I miss a bitter jury.  I need a good, heartfelt, teeth clenched, stony eyed "rat and snake" speech.

    Yes to this entire post! At first I was so put off by Carolyn, and honestly? As much as I appreciate her ability to take what is perceived as a weakness on Survivor - having a huge, weird personality that has the ability to annoy the fuck out of fellow tribe members - she made her true self work for her as best she could. But I just never warmed up to her 100% like most viewers seemed to. Yam Yam I loathed at first, but I saw how his game grew and TBH, he was more or less one of the kindest players I've ever seen get to FTC, yet alone win it all. He made real connections with people out there, even if he was pissed that they wrote his name down. As he often said, every single person who wrote his name down, he got them voted out. That says a lot about his game play, IMO. I liked Carson for much of the season but he started getting a bit cocky towards the end, though overall, the Tika 3 were entertaining to watch as they bumbled their way through challenge after challenge almost against the odds. Nobody took their little threesome seriously until it was way too late, and I enjoyed seeing three atypical players go to the near end together. The way Yam Yam consoled and helped Carson improve his fire making skills was just a really beautiful moment and speaks volumes about the type of person Yam Yam is in real life. I also was really happy for him winning in that he said he comes from a family of athletes and he is the odd one out, and yet he outlasted, outwitted, and outplayed everyone else to win this game that I'd bet his father and brother couldn't handle.

    That said, these shortened seasons suck, and as someone else said, the extra days are where people start breaking down and that's integral to the game IMO. This new version seems more like sleepaway camp, and I'm honestly tired of Peachy. They need to do something new and different OR go back to the extended OG season time frame, along with going to new locations each season. I mean, if they just re used the locations they've been to in the past and circulated through those, it would be different enough. Also, and this really annoys the fuck out of me, stop with the GoTs iconography at Tribal. You're in Fiji Jeff, they have brilliant Pacific Islander iconography you could be using but no, instead we get European gargoyles and such at Tribal. That's just stupid.

    Also, I'm not keen on showing the only black deck hand as 'the angry black dude'. WTF is going on with this show?

  14. Welp folks, I'm officially out! This was a travesty of a season and Iam, while being a nice guy, shouldn't have even gotten to Hollywood week, IMO. It's just a tongue bath of the chosen one all season long and I don't have time for this nonsense anymore. Bye AI, you should never have come back again.
