I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate the junkyard gang. Why the motherflip do they talk like Yoda?

My favorite parts of this episode were Tara running away. Say, if she and Heath had been driving for two weeks, just how long did it take her to walk back? Also, was there significance to the sort-of roman numerals tattooed on her wrist that I'm forgetting?

How has Aaron, the great tracker, who had been following our gang for a spell before recruiting them, not ever come across The Kingdom, The Hilltop, any of The Saviors, etc?

My favorite remaining team is Sherri's boobs. Sorry.

I am still holding onto hope that we'll get an old-school season sometime soon, with NO hidden idols. Immunity is won in challenges. Period. Sigh.

I wept just a little when what's her nose said (paraphrased) "My dad went to both medical school and law school, and I'm glad he's not disappointed that I decided to do social media instead of going to college."

Neat! Just read that the Hair Pull Walker that Carol killed was played by The Harp Twins. "We were a Walker in last night%u2019s The Walking Dead season finale!! Both of us played the %u201COuch That%u2019s My Hair%u201D walker that Carol killed near the dumpster! Kennerly played the %u201Cclean%u201D Walker that is first seen, and was then replaced by Camille who had the apparatus on her face that allowed the skin to be pulled back by Carol. We%u2019re massive The Walking Dead fans, so having the full %u201CHero Walker%u201D experience, spending hours being made-over as a Walker designed by Greg Nicotero and his amazing team, and being on set ultimately killed by %u201CCarol%u201D was an unbeatable experience. Huge thank you to Greg Nicotero for personally asking us to be the Walker for this gag that he designed for the season finale."

Pretty clear example of something I've always disliked about the show. I really don't think the show is cooked as far as challenge performance or vote rigging or anything, but certain aspects of production are so very clearly faked, it takes me right out of the show. When the show returned from commercial after the reward challenge, it was a smash open on the tribe carrying the food and stuff into camp, setting stuff down, and talking about "Oh, what a challenge! We rocked it, you guys! Let's eat this food now!" How long was the hike back from the challenge venue? Half a mile maybe? Wouldn't all of this conversation have realistically happened during that walk? Production clearly tells the Survivors to button their lips while the cameras are off, and probably literally say "Action!" just as they're approaching the camp. It just feels so phoney baloney to me. But anyway, suck it, Peter.

When Denise was approaching that crib, I thought the show was doing me a solid by not having a dead baby or baby walker in there. I have a tough time with kids in peril on TV shows, both the character and the child actor. (See Little Dexter covered in blood in the shipping container...) But then we got the bloody baby shoe in the sink. Thanks show, you dick!

I have to say, I have never in all my seasons of Survivor watching, flipped opinion on one player so rapidly and solidly as I did last night. I was 100% in Jennifer's corner, all last week and this week right up until tribal. She seemed like a bit of a bad ass, not-a-jerk, even keeled, etc. Then she slipped up at tribal, and turned into such a heel in her recovery. She floundered for a bit, and then played my favorite song, the one that starts with a wounded "Wow." and then moves into the "It's the lack of trust that hurts the most." Ugh I HATE that ploy. It's something pathetic cheaters that are caught red-handed trot out to try to turn it back and shame the other person. It's gross. Sorry Jennifer. I used to think you were the most, but now you're all wet.

Hmmm?

Little Mule. But still.

Packing a hairdryer AND curling iron, but no swimsuit. Holy shit. I basically hate this season 2 episodes in. Darius and Cameron aren't bad guys but they're not racing very well. So therefore I don't like anyone. Should I... should I tap out?

Campbell, you're a jerk!

When Rick was talking to Morgan about how he was pinned down in the RV by the Wolves, I was all "Ooooh, they're going to flash back and show how he got out! Better late than never. What closure I'll get! Or, they're at least going to have Rick explain it. That'll do. I mean, they're going to give a hint, right? Right?" I'm like Karen in Love, Actually, where she's all "You've made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, as well!" I did like, nay, LOVE Eugene's open toed shoe concern. I actually laughed. I laughed into my laptop screen, so much that my wife looked over from her laptop screen and asked "Aren't you watching the Walking Dead? There's laughing on the Walking Dead?"
