  1. Ha! Yes, that was the visual for sure.
  2. My problem with her is her voice and mannerisms seem more 2016 than 1968. Even her outfits, oddly enough, would fit in fine today (except for the egregious high waisters - may they never make a return). Plus I don't think she looks like Sam/Jamie at all. The actress really needs blue slanted eyes, a generally more angular appearance to her face, and a much more imposing physique. The character bugged in the book. I expect to continue to be bugged by her for the duration. This was the best episode of the season for me. Yeah, the ending was a big bowl of Velveeta, but I liked the visuals. Now the looooong wait for next season.
  3. This may be another reason (in addition to being a talking head dud) that we didn't hear much from Michele until the last episode. Mr. calico and I were trying to figure out what the accent was. I know Jersey and it's not Jersey. "Unfortunate" sounds about right. Blacks are 13% of the American population. This season started out with 18 players, 3 of whom were black which is almost 16% of the Survivor population. So not only are blacks not "tokens" they are generally slightly overrepresented (mainly because 13% of 18 is 2.34 and they round up instead of down). In addition, there have been 10 blacks to make it to Final Tribal Council over the years out of 80 contestants which is 12.5% of the total - almost on par with the percentage of blacks playing.
  4. Aubrey should have won for a season's worth of great metaphors if nothing else. Besides Joe, who else voted for her? Debbie? Who sounded exactly like Ann Coulter in her FT speech BTW. So numbnuts Julia, bitter horndogs Lurch and Bounty, late in the game BFF Cydney, and inconsequential Nick all voted for the coattail rider. I thought for sure Mark would show up at the reunion instead we get the creepy weirdness that is Sia. Fitting end I suppose. The best part of this mess was the "ruhroh" noises the sound editors dubbed in for Mark.
  5. They should have a gross food challenge and let Mark participate. Jason thinks the time to make a big move is after all his alliance has been voted off. Genius. Someone needs to steal Tai's underwear, burn them and then bury the ashes.
  6. I'd really like to see her, Aubrey, and Cydney in the final 3. It'd be the first time in forever that the decision would be very difficult.
  7. That was awesome. As was the shot of Mark being all "WTF!" after Jason and Julie launched their evil plot to eat him if Tai got the boot. I hope he outlasts his fellow tribemates and gets a seat at the reunion. Being charming enough to avoid becoming dinner around half-crazed and ravenous humans has to count for something! I was really hoping Jason would be voted out so we would be spared more camera shots up his nostrils. Not that there's really any good angle for Jason viewing, but still.
  8. While the Lurch blindside was undeniably Favorite Survivor Moment worthy, the thing that elicited a double-take from me this episode was this exchange from Aubrey to Bounty: "I'm smelling what you're stepping in." Is . . . is that a thing? I really, really didn't think Tai would deny the smug twins in the end, and I'm still smiling that he did.
  9. The only thing that saves this season is if Lurch and Bounty are convinced Tai will save one of them with the super idol and instead he keeps both of them for himself as we get to watch their smug faces dissolve into disbelief at the precise moment they realize they were played.
  10. One the more satisfying blindsides. Douchey to the last word. 'If I had made my move first I wouldn't be here.' Uh, yes you would because as soon as you started executing your genius move you would have been undone by your complete lack of a clue. Now, how do we get out Lurch and Lil Debbietats? Interesting. So he really wanted to get rid of one of the jocksintheirownminds but didn't want the blowback? Incredibly devious if true. I bet it somehow ties into that chicken.
  11. I hope the next time he's bent over using his mad doctor skilz to "pander to" and "exploit" the mere mortals on his team one of those cute little monkeys vomits up some half-masticated mango on his enlarged head. If there were an ounce of humanity between him and the small head guy it would die of loneliness. I love how Tai was all "I don't like that guy" after less than 24 hours in his presence. Straightforward and to the point.
  12. There was a moment when I saw genuine panic and fear in Probst's eyes. I hope he remembers that feeling and never, EVER, allows a situation like this to develop again. They dodged a huge bullet. By all accounts Caleb could have gone either way. Among a long list of name calling I'm so completely sick of people using incorrectly "bully" is right up there. Calling out douchebaggery is not "bullying". If they don't like what's being rightfully said about their behavior then they can chose to stay away from twitter for a while. They don't have to subject themselves to other people's opinions unlike Alecia who was actually trapped with those heinous clods. Lost among all the near death drama was more cluelessness from Peter. After realizing that him being supreme shitlord on turd island was only in his imagination what was his response? Instead of perhaps adjusting his social game so he maybe has some allies going into a merge he's all 'Those people will get theirs! Why I'll vote then off one by one!!!' You and who else brainiac?
  13. There's something really off about that guy. He can't be gone fast enough. The clueless award tonight goes to Peter! And that was with some tough competition. Sorry if there are any ER docs posting here, but, yeah, not the most sensitive folks I've come across. I'm sure there's good reason for that, but for him to actually present his profession as evidence of great emotional intelligence? I bet he's a hit with the nurses. Debbie continues to amuse, and to nobody's surprise reveals a well-developed sense of the devious.
  14. It's called high time preference - since they had hens and not roosters there was the possibility that, if cared for properly, in a couple days eggs could be forthcoming. Eggs that would then provide some much needed fat and protein for several days. But instead the thought process was basically Me Hungry/Got Fire/Eat Chicken. Unless there's is a reshuffling soon I expect to see these chowderheads remove themselves from the game through a a series of bad decisions and complete lack of strategic thinking. ETA: And speaking of the pitfalls of high time preference - Kyle Jason is going to live to regret the (I'm sure impulsive) decision to get those horrific looking ear things in about 30 years when when the dreaded old man earlobe syndrome manifests itself and those suckers start grazing his shoulders. *shudders*
  15. I'll probably regret this in about 1.5 episodes but as of now I'd like Debbie to stick around as I was quite amused by her "Go large frontal lobes!" cheer. When Jenny stood to make her point I thought she had worked herself into such a state that she was going to get her torch for Probst snuffing. That was some epic level self destruction.
