I'd love to see this in a future season! LMAO at this mental image!

I saw that, too! Close, but no cigar, Baylor. I think he already has. "Glad I decided to play that!" I thought Natalie blamed Missy. Remember her immediate, "WTF, Missy?" after the vote?

Get him out when it drops in your lap. Don't try to micro-manage the game; be flexible and go with the flow. These are an idiotic bunch - it's not going to be hard to whittle down the numbers.

Yes, and Reed waved the wrapper with instructions all around, so what was the point of Keith lying and saying he'd never unwrapped it? Don't lie when it isn't necessary - too hard to remember what you've said to whom.

Jon and Jaclyn because they were splitting the vote as planned between Wes and Keith. Jon wasn't the one tipped off - Natalie was. Had it not been for her, I think he would have sat on it. It's Natalie, not Nadiya. She's been gone quite a while, now. ;)

Looked like a sloth.

THREE frickin' idols? And Natalie is the only one still holding, but Baylor knows, so everyone knows. And Natalie, if you were up for Jon being blind-sided in another TC or two, why try so hard to save him now? Let it happen and let Reed take the blame. Idiot.

But only if it's "moderate to severe"!

My mother took one taste of "Classic" Coke and swore it wasn't the same. It later came out that it wasn't the same sugar and Mom could taste the difference.

Seriously, what a boring world this would be if we were all alike. I've never "gotten" this whole need for everyone to be just alike and talk alike.

I'm glad I taped them all and kept them.

Phooey!

In my teens, I loved this cheap perfume called "Skin". Don't even remember who made it, just that the box was green.

NOOO, don't skip the frankincense and myrrh! Seriously, it's my favorite scent ever. Candles, wax tarts, custom perfume... if it's frankincense and myrrh, I'll squeal with glee. So I'm good with the "original three" Christmas presents. :D

OMG! The "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" guy is Christian Grey?!? *fans herself* And I haven't even made it to books 2 and 3 yet.

FWIW, I'm from the Midwest, and his accent doesn't scream "Midwest" to me. Then again, other Midwesterners haven't always been able to place my accent (Indiana), so maybe I'm not the best judge on that. How long has he lived in Hawaii? Long enough to get a blended accent?

Is it because they're from Hawaii, or because they're surfers? ;) Actually, accents don't bother me much. I'd hate for everyone to sound like news anchors!

I wanted to see the dentists find out they weren't first and see if Jim had a hissy fit over it.

Eh, considering that production probably leaned on her to bring that scout uniform (what a great story!) and then tricked everyone into wearing clothes for a photo-op and then dropping them into the game, I can't blame Lil for the clothes she was stranded in. And since I don't think one's standing IRL has any bearing on how someone plays the game, I thought it was horrible for everyone to pile on and accuse her of being a hypocrite because she was playing the game in a scout uniform. I actually thought everyone else was being hypocritical there. I mean, if they were saying it as part of a strategy to make people dislike her, fine; but if they actually believed the shit they were shoveling, that's pathetic, IMO. Same goes for the ones who get their panties in a bunch over folks swearing on family members. It's stupid to believe someone in that situation, so doubly stupid to be offended that you got played.

That's really funny. Glad to hear the story behind the name. :)

Thanks, paramitch. I laughed like a loon, too. But recently, some networks have started running a "censored" version that attempts to bleep out "balls", but mistime their bleep, so you hear "balls" anyway. I'm not sure whether it's sad they're trying to censor it, or hysterically funny that they completely fail. Also, why is "balls" offensive, but "testicles" is apparently OK? ETA: Love "herding cats". Wasn't it originally a Superbowl commercial?

The way to determine the correct expression is to take the other person out of the sentence. If it still makes sense, you got it right. So me, my or I being correct depends on the sentence constructed. "Jon and I's house" vs "Jon's and my house." "My house" makes sense; "I's house" doesn't, so it should have been "my". "Jon and me went to the store." "Me went to the store." doesn't make sense, so it should have been "Jon and I" Etc., etc. Maybe it's mean of me, but I got a kick out of someone named "Wouldofshouldof" (instead of "Wouldhaveshouldhave") griping about correct word usage.

As long as they also know that they must handle the reactions to their lying and manipulation, I'm good with this. People have a right to get pissed at being played; if someone thinks they can do whatever they want without repercussions, that's not good play at all. If Keith were just a wee bit smarter, I could buy him keeping the paper to wrap around a fake idol. That could be a sweet move, but so far, no one has done that. I think. Yau Man's fake idol didn't come wrapped in official instructions, did it? Me, too. I couldn't stand her constant bleating of how guilty she felt for her actions in her THs, especially when she sure didn't seem to have any problems actually doing them. I felt the THs were to "manage" people not liking her instead of actual feelings of guilt. I would have liked her much better if she'd simply owned up to her game-play. I also didn't buy that she was simply being helpful by doing other people's laundry. I think that was just the excuse she came up with so she could go snooping and blab about anything she found. Which she did, expressions of "guilt" notwithstanding. I think you're making deciding intent needlessly complicated. If someone tripped and made someone else fall, breaking their leg, it would be different from someone deliberately making someone fall and breaking their leg. We don't just say, "Well, because someone might pretend it was an accident when it really wasn't, we should just make breaking someone else's leg fair game to avoid either someone getting away with it or being unjustly accused of intentionally breaking someone's leg." I don't think that's why TPTB have decided that going thru someone's things is allowable.

We wandered a little OT for a bit, but I think it's interesting. But - back to irritating kids!

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was answering whether or not they found out about Caleb during filming, which: yes, they did. That the challenge was a "tribute" to a previous player was a separate issue, and I think, perhaps an off-hand joke by Probst.
