Jasmine's baby talk to the alligator is bizarre, even for her. Now she wants to be in a pageant to help with her low self-esteem issues? She has too much self-esteem, not too little.
There is a name for this phenomenon, it's called "running out of storylines!"
Sorry, posted before I saw Pepper's comment!!

This. She should've been jumping out of line and running to Jeff to get that precious rice. Instead, she seemed to hem and haw a bit until her tribemates told her to go for it. Why would she even hesitate? If she's so weak and depleted, she knows there's no way she's winning that challenge, so grab the rice, say thank you, and take a seat on the sit-out bench. You're right, something weird is afoot.
Maybe because she knew she wouldn't be able to make a fire too cook it?

I want to know where the real Dr Now was! She loses like 10 pounds in a year or two and THIS dr. is like, "Well you need to step it up." Obviously this was a doppelganger. He didn't even raise his voice or call her out. I've seen him be tougher on someone who just suffered a loss of spouse, mom, house in a flood, you name it!

I agree with the comments concerning "Mommy". Not only did she cripple him physically, she crippled him emotionally. He's telling her to stop talking and she continues blabbering. She is in dire need of therapy. And then dad left him without a buffer of any kind (can't really blame him). This is a case of child abuse, pure and simple.

I enjoyed this episode probably because the megaleg works well with 90 minutes. Amber doing the puzzle for Angie was ridiculous. The problem wy. ith alliances on The Amazing Race it's great for the racer, but as a viewer it is not as fun to watch. Great strategy though.
I totally agree. Cheating or not cheating, ethical or not ethical, I simply don't enjoy the seasons/episodes where several teams work together to get an advantage as much as the ones where teams use their own abilities and shortcomings to succeed or not.
Perhaps the meat challenge would have been more fair if (a) there were enough stations for every team to compete or (b) the team had to revisit the demonstration if they didn't complete it correctly (like so many of the other detours/roadblocks.)

Hi, folks. I've been reading from the wings for a season or so now.
I wanted to chime in regarding his height. I am a mere 4'10". Even if Charles is 5 feet, 100 pounds is a ridiculously low weight to be at. At my leanest I got to 95 pounds in high school and I looked way too thin. Yes, I have to lose weight (currently 180 and size 14) but my goal is not to be under 125. One of the reasons I have been quiet is although I watch this like a train-wreck, Dr. Now's recommendations (jumping to a 1200 calorie diet immediately, no immediate psychotherapy, etc.) really concern me.
I so totally agree with you concerning the 1200 calorie diet cold turkey and no therapy.
I guess to me, it doesn't matter what Dr. Now says his goal weight should be, (100 or 200 or 300lbs) he isn't going to reach any of them anyway. I think he wanted to impress on him how dire his situation is. And yes, therapy right away!

I seriously doubt Jasmine would give anything up to get her boys here either. I hope she doesn’t have another kid with Gino. She’s way too self involved. Sorry, Gino.
I’m so sick of them. I doubt she would be with him once the cameras are turned off.I hope they don't have a child, too! And, WHO announces at their wedding that they are now going to try for a baby??

I couldn't help but think that since Justin/Igor comes from the same country as Andreeeei, they could open a Moldavian (sp??) restaurant together and Elizabeth and Nikki could sing songs together as the entertainment! (Also, CD's could be made available for purchase at the restaurant or online.)

My 2 year old grandson recently starting throwing himself on the floor and crying everytime ANYONE told him he couldn't do something or have something. And it was quite the spectacle. (I think it is because verbally, he can't express himself to deal with the situation any other way.) But anyway, once we ALL started not responding, walking away, or whatever to not interact, guess what??!! He stopped. Maybe Amy's family needs to start doing the same thing when she puts on the toddler act. Personally, I think this was one of the new plot threads for this season. I also wonder how much love and attention the boys get from the aunts when the cameras aren't around.

One thing I wish they'd get away from is the saying something funny and then laughing at their own witty selves. Amy is really annoying the F out of me. Chris does it too but not as bad as Amy
Yes, Chris definitely annoys me as much as Amy when he laughs at himself.

I have not been buying it, either with regard to Amy. I cannot seem to find any sympathy for her. She wanted kids. She was told after her surgery to wait. She didn’t. She was told after the first one to wait and she didn’t. She’s a lazy person and kids are a lot of work.
And, if her husband did nothing, what is all this boo-hooing about having to do it alone? When he was there, according to her, she not only had to take care of the kids she was taking care of him. I’m not buying it.She criticizes about how long it took Tammy yet who was going out and buying all the candy for her? Who was the major enabler? In my opinion, Amy is trying to sabotage Tammy just as Tammy‘s husband is trying to sabotage her. She needs to get a better support system around her.
I agree with everything you said. But, look around her, who does she have to pick as a support system? The whole family is now in the show and are doing everything they can to keep this gravy train (and I do mean gravy) going.

Jasmine's lips remind me of when I was a kid and we would buy those fake lips for a penny that were bright red. She could have saved herself some money!

Cirie has done plenty of personal talk. She used to make fun of Bowie's teeth and do a lot of Bowie bashing actually. I turned on the feeds for like a minute earlier and she was saying how she just hates America's voice, and the way she said it was dripping in hatred.
I agree and I find it hard to take when she refers to the other contestants as being dumb. It's one thing if you tell me something I did was dumb, it's another thing entirely when you say that I'm dumb.

Nowadays there is apparently a whole Survivor closet out in the jungle somewhere.

You are absolutely correct. Have you never watched Gilligan's Island? And they were only going on a THREE HOUR tour!!
I meant to say three hour cruise, but my fingers typed tour!

It's like the game with the music chairs. They have to find the answer to a question and get it to otev fast and the last one gets eliminated until there is only one spot that the last person who takes it wins.
Thank you! It's referred to here and I never knew what it meant.

Love it. Let’s see what kind of chaos this will cause. This week seems to have minutely piqued my interest in this season again after the stupid zombie apocalypse.
Re: Bowie, seeing as she’s from Aussie land, I would like to see her pull a Kristie Bennett. FTC on survivor AU 3 was some legendary tv. Ymmv.
Btw, has it been confirmed that this veto is otev?
Could someone tell me what OTEV is (besides veto spelled backwards! Thank you in advance.

I can't say that I like any of them. I don't feel like even with 90 minutes, that we got any more insight on the players. Did they let us see the whole strength/savvy challenge down to the timer running out or just cut to them in the boats on the way back talking about losing?
That could be because of the 90 minutes, 24 of those new minutes were commercials and promos for other shows. Yes, I actually went back through the tape and timed commercials! How pathetic is MY life??!!

Pure speculation here, but I do wonder if this isn't why Cirie looks so blue so much of the time and has talked about getting out -- she's bored. On Survivor and even The Traitor, the contestants always had stuff to do, especially on Survivor, where you always have chores to do between challenges -- repair the shelter, gather wood & water, cook, tend the fire, etc.
90% of Big Brother, on the other hand, is literally just sitting around. Cirie isn't the couch potato she proclaimed herself to be on her first Survivor appearance anymore. I imagine Big Brother is driving her crazy.
You are probably right about Cirie's boredom, but doesn't she spend most of her time in bed, holding meetings and doing nothing? I don't watch the feeds but that is what I gather from reading here. If she is talking about self evicting, I am thinking that she would like everyone to think she is leaving because she WANTS to and not that she was voted out because the game plan is falling apart.

HA! My husband is in his 50's and is a gamer. I dig it. Only way I can watch my bad reality shows undisturbed. He is a big time heckler and it drives me nuts.
Same here except my husband watches Gunsmoke!!

Did anyone else find it ironic that Danielle told the attorney she thought they should go with a tourist visa instead of a permanent one because she thinks their relationship still has a lot of issues to work out, but at the same time, they are trying to have BABY!!??

Agree. But, this IS Riley we are talking about, lol. Still, I think for a price, anything can be faked in Vietnam. I think it is telling that she won't go to the doc he found at the international hospital. She was married, she had children before and she should understand that he rightfully wants some proof. She may have a friend who will doctor up a DNA/paternity test result, a friend who had a mixed race baby that they can use the photos of....what are the chances he will actually travel back and say hey Violet I want to be there the entirety of your actual pregnancy?
And how happy Violet would be for him to return! That might be poetic justice!

I feel most for the kid that Violet is supposedly carrying (I don't buy it, but assuming). Riley was an obnoxious, self-righteous twit and then did the deed without protection. Violet was there, too and didn't insist on it! That makes them both dumb as rocks.
I enjoyed your whole post (very insightful) but didn't want to repost the whole thing. Hence, the editing!
I am thinking that Violet really doesn't want Reilly, she only wants the child support that she thinks he may provide. This may not be the first time she has used this to make money. Interesting that after showing no affection for the entire trip, she shows up RIGHT before he leaves and after everything is packed up. (I know he said he didn't bring condoms, which would be stupid for an 18 year old, much less someone of his age!)
And just 4 weeks after he left, she knows she is pregnant seems quick.

Izzy's poor sportsmanship didn't have anything to do with physical contact. She doesn't have to hug anyone she doesn't want to hug. Her words were the problem.
I just want to say that of all the fakiness of this show, the fakiest of all to me is when, after they have been evicted (by a vote of 8-0 or whatever) they hug and sob and say how much they love everyone. Then everyone says how much they love them. If I were evicted, I would hug no one! After all, they just voted me out.

Ariella is a very strange ilttle girl, and I don't diss kids lightly but she's really odd. She seems to be ADDDDDDDDDDD in a bad way and they just humor her a lot. She has this weird 'entitled little miss' attitude to her also. The pacifier kills me.
Well, after all, it's tough being the "social lubricant" of such a (formerly) large family!
Also, it might just be me, but when I watched the new intro to the show all I could hear in my mind as each wife was shown with the mountain behind her was Meri's voice saying over and over "Look at the mountain..."!

I LOVED it when she "corrected" Gordon's pronunciation of shallots and he shot right back at her! Set her back on her heals a little bit I think! Seems she isn't often put in her place by an adult.
