  1. The Nicole to Rita trade was pretty seamless. I don't feel like the show is missing something as a result. I was impressed with all three that were safe. There's some real talent there. I was not impressed with LeeAnn's interpretation of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Didn't work for me. Mrs. GenX is now a spoiler-free 2 for 2. I'll be lucky to guess 2 the entire season!
  2. The producers struck gold a couple of seasons ago when they cast Carolyn. Her brand of crazy made for a uniquely entertaining character all season. Bhanu is no Carolyn. And after 90 minutes with no Tribal, some Rando goes home? Zzzzzz.
  3. I've watched all three episodes, and the show is a kooky mashup of Survivor and Deal or No Deal. The premise sort of works. It's entertaining enough, thanks largely to Boston Rob. I did have to laugh when they discussed Claudia's experience with Deal or No Deal. As though experience in a game of chance gives you any advantage.
  4. It looked like Kenzie was holding up the ENCE. How were the other four tribe members unable to get the remaining six letters placed? It's pretty clear that the blood sugar levels of many people have dipped, as we got a whole bunch of random crying. I always roll my eyes at the senseless gasping when the previous bootee is announced ("X voted out at the last tribal council"). At least this time, the overreactions were more than made up for with the trash talking. That was the best two minutes of the two hours.
  5. My theory on this is that Q made it sound like a mutual decision at TC to not raise any flags for Jelinsky that he was on the way out. Same. I've been a GAMES subscriber for 40+ years.
  6. Gotta figure the "Marketing Strategist" with 3 or 4 companies who discussed email is just a spammer. I'm good with Parvati 2.0. The Andy Griffith Show Alliance, heh.
  7. Jake's exhibitionism made for one of the most bizarre idol finds in show history.
  8. Why not stare at the rope puzzle for as long as you can get away with before flipping the hourglass? With no idol, a tenuous small alliance, and having just made a big move, the safer play was to risk your vote.
  9. My wife and I spent the last month binge watching the entire series. There was certainly pathos throughout, but the first couple of seasons had quite a bit of humor to them, as well, and were more enjoyable. For us, the show went downhill at the point Taystee turned down the offer during the riot. The writing got lazier and the characters more cliched. I didn't care about any of the new characters in seasons 6 and 7. I applaud the show for Taystee's ultimate fate. She became the series protagonist, and her ending worked. Unfair and bittersweet, but rang true. The fates of all the original cast were done well, actually. Finally, I have to give major kudos to the actors who played Aleida, Cindy, and Tiffany. I don't know if any of them won any Emmy awards for their portrayals, but they were simply outstanding throughout the series.
  10. The deluge of tears detracted from what was an otherwise entertaining show featuring a (new?) interesting endurance challenge and a sneaky bit of Bruce gaslighting by Emily.
  11. I'm tired of the Survivors that get so overwrought due to someone getting sent home. They're not dead. Or even critically wounded. They're not going home; they're going to a lavish resort. Their getting vote off should not prompt you to rethink your actual life.
  12. And just like that Austin's amulet is an idol.
  13. I can get behind Kellie or maybe Austin to win this thing, but with far, far less enthusiasm than I had for Kaleb.
  14. How should we pad the show 30 minutes this week...relationships? scheming? Well, the revote will get us 10 minutes. Let's just scrape another 20 minutes of immunity challenge footage off the floor for the rest.
  15. After Austin read the Amulet Rules, I figured they would all want the sandwich either because a) they were hungry and/or b) the Amulet Rules were an incomprehensible mess. Kudos to Austin for figuring out right away you want to vote out your fellow Amulet holders.
