You really, really have to fight to even find the eagle's head. It's completely unreadable, and it's dead fucking center.

I was confused by the body in the wall. It seemed like it was right there just behind the hole. But then Todd opened it up and there was a giant walkway and light streaming in... Where was the body?

I know that no one, least of all ABC, has the sheer balls to do it, but, this show would be amazing if they killed off the lead character seven episodes into the first season and replaced him with Jonathan.
Tell the D.O.C. that the criminal brother died, have everyone start calling Jonathan "Cameron", and move right along with the plot. It would be stunningly crazy.

Yeah, Josh got the win more for his work over the course of the season rather than the muddy and hard to follow battle royale

Is it LIVE again? That's always a well-coordinated, slickly produced, and entertaining hour of television with lots of interesting anecdotes and plenty of great content. I especially enjoy being able to hear everyone, never dealing with interruptions, never having to have Dave repeat himself because the person he's talking to just three feet away can't hear him, and Dave never having to ask the audience to shut the hell up already because no one else can hear anything that's going on and they're wasting time.
Top notch broadcasting all around. Huzzah!

Just saw the episode from a couple of weeks ago. Was there ever any more awkward a transition than "Let's hear stories of infants dying in their mothers arms... and let's open the doors and let everybody in and HELLO MEMPHIS ARE YOU READY TO SEE SOME GREAT TATTOOS?!!!!!!"

I wouldn't worry, it was pulled last Sunday for that James Comey thing, then it gets the Tuesday follow up slot after Roseanne, the biggest hit ABC has had since Lost. If they don't blow it, they should be safe.

I spent the entire reward challenge trying to figure out how the schoolyard pick went. Seemed like all the strong players were on the same team! Then Wendell's team of non-jocks won it, it shocked me!

Rigged.
If that's your pinup, you don't belong in the final. Period. The thigh. The arm, the shoulder. The head, the face.
All of it was puke.
Fuck this

Per his EW interview, Chris's strategy with the idols wasn't completely stupid: If Dom and Wendell both played idols, he would have played his. If neither Dom or Wendell played idols, he also would have played his, because that would mean something was up. If only one did, he was going to gamble that the other was going home.

Seriously, someone had to say it - Chris you can’t rap and please stop trying.
It's not just me, right? "Cheaper" and "Breather" do not rhyme!

4 hours ago, Wandering Snark said:I just don't understand, you've set up tonight as the final act of the war between you and your 'enemy'. Before votes are read your enemy uses a power that makes him safe, you have an idol in your pocket and yet you DON'T use it?? Wait... what?? The hell was that? How can you NOT play your idol? I mean even if he thought his mass-audience at the well worked and everyone was voting for Dom he just made himself safe so... what are you waiting for? Was he just THAT slow?? *shakes head in disbelief*
I'm sure Chris thought that it was going to be 6 votes for Dom, 4 votes for Wendell, and 2 votes for him (plus his no-vote).
Hearing Dom vote for him shouldn't have changed his strategy. But, his strategy was epically stupid.
First, when you bring 11 people to the well, you're not going to get any of them to speak out in disagreement about voting out Dom or Wendell, because, then they'd be naming someone standing next to them. You're not going to get Mike to say "Nah, let's vote out Libby here!" or Desiree to say "But what about Chelsea?" That's idiotic. So of course they're all going to agree with him. Of course they're going to say they're fine voting out the people who are out of earshot at that moment.
(Not to even mention that you know that there's probably someone there with some loyalty to Dom! If not a full on partner, then maybe a semi-alliance-mate or someone at least a little in with him! You just can't bring that many people there you don't know the background on.)
Second, Chris is a completely oblivious fool. He has no social empathy, and can't picture anyone having any agenda other than the one he has. So, once he left the Meeting At The Well, he thought it was all sewn up. "All 10 of them agreed with me. This is a done deal. I no longer need to think." He had no concept that anyone else would do anything different. Even though he made it impossible for anyone to make any other suggestion in the first place, so he assured he was only going to hear what he wanted to hear. He walked back to camp completely positive that there was just no way that any person could disagree with how awesome and logical and perfect I am. I made my case, it was bulletproof. There's no logical way anyone could do anything different. They all said yes. It is done. Chris's literal words in the confessional talking about the meeting were: "How is this not a great deal for everybody?" He's absolutely blind to any other person's perspective.
Viewed through that POV, what Chris did makes perfect sense (to him). He's in his own fantasyland where he's the hero of everyone's story.

Yawn, whatever.
I know they're rigging it so each coach gets 1 guy, but, to be honest, there aren't three guys worthy of going to the finals, so fuck it. This show sucks.

Yeah, first thing I noticed was one HII you could carry out in the open and not even bother to hide, and no one would care. Then the other one is the size of a steering wheel and can't be concealed at all.
Did anyone else notice Wendell posing after every shot on the sixth ring? Then he kept missing. Then he pranced around like a hotshot when he finally made it. Just a funny sequence. Almost as funny as Donathan not being able to uncap the pen.

I just wish she'd find a better gimmick for "Stop Tattooing!"

It was a variation on a do-it-yourself online trick that made the rounds on the internet a few years ago. It was in a cave or something like that.
It's an old trick, I think even David Copperfield used it in an old special--it's basically the only card trick you ever see on TV because it's the only "pick a card" variant that works on television

On the other hand, "Johnathan Creek" lasted more than one season.
Big fan of Johnathan Creek, at least, while he lived in the windmill. The later seasons, not so much :)
I thought it was pretty decent, though as a magic fan, once he name-dropped that the big illusion at the end would need a "Pepper's Ghost", I waited and waited for it, but, I don't think I saw it. Disappointing... Pepper's Ghost is one of my favorite illusions (don't Google it unless you want to be spoiled on how Disney's Haunted Mansion works!)

The roll-out mirror that ended up being perfectly straight was a little funny, but, overall a decent episode.

So, like, three times in explaining the challenge, they say the tattoo must be on the sternum.
They were not allowed to talk the canvas out of moving it.
Nunez even said "the bulk of the tattoo" must be over the bone in the chest.
And yet several people went with "upper belly" tattoos and not "sternum" tattoos. The sternum does not extend more than an inch below the nipple line. Everyone who put the bulk of their tattoo below the chest level should have been called out for it. Or, if not, why waste so much show time on rules you're going to ignore?

They had one good episode in season 1, one good one in season 2, season 3 wasn't terrible, and that's about all you can say about the "high quality" comment. This show was never as good as it seemed to be made out to be.

LMAO at Klaus flipping off the censors after getting bleeped.
As someone who works in the TV business, and knows how the network censors work, this cracked me up. I get countless memos from Standards & Practices about what they will and won't bleep, and often there is a numerical limit. On the family-friendly ABC, for example, a show is only allowed 3 'hell' or 'damn's per episode. On the cable networks, we're allowed the stronger words, but also within limits. So seeing the bleeps happen after "shit" gets dropped a fourth time got me laughing good.

According to this, there's a new episode airing on April 2: "Penn & Teller: April Fool Us Day" special. I assume the rest of season 6 will air in the summer.

Make a fake immunity idol and a bullshit excuse for not having the note to go with it.
...
Just holy hell some awful game play.
Yeah, I didn't get this play at all. It would have been much smarter for Jacob to claim he got nothing at Ghost Island, that he came back empty handed, then "accidentally" flash his fake idol to the tribe's most talkative over-thinker. Let the word spread through the rumor mill that he really did get an idol there, and he'd at least have the threat of believability. Not that the votes wouldn't have gone down the exact same way, probably, with 2 on James as a backup. But it at least would have showed the smallest amount of thought.

S04.E17: Barbara Ann
in The Last Man On Earth [V]
It was pretty dumb for Mike, the scientist/astronaut, to travel all the way to the Hot Blob, and then not even bother to try and figure out why it was there. Not even some curiosity, at all, to even check to see if there was a column of air 98.6 degrees there for some reason.
Pretty unbelievable, and it wasn't possible to stretch my suspension of disbelief close to that far.
