Forgot one part . . . Randy thanking Sharon and Stan in the end, and Shelly with her arms outstretched, all, "Wait, I don't get a mention?!?" I found that funny.

Has anyone kept track on how many Democrats running for the Presidency have appeared on TDS?

Because someone demanded 12 Oz. Mouse?? I get the return of the other two shows. Lazor Wulf grew on me over time.

Maybe she's been busy with the shelter while Rob rehearses his lines.

Oh, right. Other Derrick, yes? I guess he's on the "Do Not Invite To Wedding" list, along with Cara Maria and Turbo. Then I guess I find Natalie sufferable. Unless this is a "flammable/inflammable" grammar thing. Then I'll just say I'm good with Natalie. I never got into Despicable Me. Now I'm hoping for some Josh/Minions mashup art.

Spoiler: the Gang does NOT solve global warming. Basically, Paddy’s becomes a thin metaphor about climate change and how people deal. But since we got hot people with diminishing clothes, and Dennis losing his cool with the situation and with Mac’s insistence that God will provide? It’s funny. Also, Dee quests for ice, with Charlie “filming” her to show she’s eco-conscious. Of course, she more or less renounces that by episode’s end. Sadly, her descent isn’t on her real-life Insta. On the bright side, when is it not fun to see Sweet Dee lose her mind?

Tori Hall is off the list. Ah, well.

You know, I would've been great with Jordan's proposal to Tori if I actually liked either of them. I mean, I bet they're nice people in the "real world," but they've just been grating. And Jordan's taunting led to Turbo's dismissal, so he sucks harder for that. I'm also not judging Cara Maria for her pissy interviews, but I'm betting she's going to have to go some serious spinning on social media. Severe spinning. Like she's trying to turn straw into gold, and she's got a troll looming over her that doesn't want people to know his name. Hey, maybe that's Paulie! Another halfway decent mission undone by player ineptitude, which leads to Teege getting pissy. I mean, at least he didn't try to cram relevance down our throats like Jeff Probst did tonight on Survivor, but it's still disappointing. Theo gets tossed into elimination for the fourth time, which is one more than all three prior Theos combined (Theo Gantt in The Gauntlet, Theo Von in Fresh Meat the Theo from Bad Blood and whom nobody cares about in IOTC). Unfortunately for Theo, the Proving Ground is all about sledge hammers . . . and maybe if Cara and Paulie didn't go over Zach's head, maybe we wouldn't have Jordan doing everything short of legally changing his name to John Henry. Or Peter Gabriel. Theo gets sent off, and Jordan pops the question to Tori before he joins her on the UK team. Once again, I'd like the moment better if I were rooting for either person. The only consolation is that there are a lot of other people there I'd want slapped first. Especially Josh. I see him in the pool, I'm half-hoping somebody drops a hair dryer in there. I'm guessing BMP is full of happy campers because they got interteam and intrateam hatred. At this point, I'd just give weapons to the two power couples (Cara Maria/Paulie, Jordan/Tori) and have them settle shit once and for all. And I'm hoping for a dissolution of teams because there are some people I don't want winning money. Observations I made on Facebook while watching: Nany going from clinging to Turbo to clinging to Josh is basically going from a lifeboat to a wooden plank that can only hold one person. I'm thinking Jordan puts the holes in his shirts, as opposed to those happening naturally. Or maybe he supervises Tori as she does that, on account of his one full hand. Funny to see a mission with Roman numerals, because I know Johnny would have sucked there. Watching Rogan knock Tori off as he fell, I imagine Adam Larson watching at home, immediately voting Sarah into the Gauntlet out of habit. Hearing Ashley make a comparison of the UK team to toddlers drinking wine, I imagine Montana cringing at home. I'm amazed CT is still there. Probably because the actual British guys hate each other at this point. Jenna is still Zach's girlfriend. Damn. Looking at their backwards caps, I'm thinking maybe Josh is a less-evolved Zach. Turbo wouldn't have needed the sledgehammer. He'd just use his pinky to drive the nails into the light bulbs. Cara's comments now make her less welcome at the Wisely/Deal nuptials than Turbo. Gotta go to bed. I'll have to go online tomorrow to see Cara spin. At this point, she'd have to sing "Two Princes" AND "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong."

That was fun. Just the right amount of offensiveness and callbacks. And Rudy Giuliani got clowned, and that was fun. As a New Yorker, I hope you can join me in saying, "Hey, fuck that guy!" I'm amazed the Whites can walk around without their heavy hands dragging them to the ground. Still, they were a bit right about the sympathy going to Sharon and her possible emancipation from Randy and his drama. Why didn't the Whites (capital "W") get a damn lasagna? But then they went and replaced their dead son with a kid they picked up from ICE, which is pretty much par for the course for this show. Detention center as an animal shelter? Hey, it's not THAT far from reality. Garrison comes back. I guess it was inevitable after he took last season off. At least we got Giuliani's creepy ass. I think Matt & Trey deserve a few points for not going for the "Rudy is a vampire" gag. And he was awful enough to make Randy want to repent. Well, at least before poor Alejandro got sunscreen on his face and subsequently went nanners. You think he'll be skulking around for the rest of the season? Of course Randy didn't get what was coming to him. This is South Park. Does anyone get comeuppance? It's part of the town's charm at this point. Cartman didn't even get smacked for getting Jason to go into the street. I'm guessing we're going back to the regular credits. Is it weird that I dance while sitting down as I listen to Randy's Tegridy-tinged remix?

*sigh* Of course Probst would try to jam relevance down our throat. This is Survivor. You're not supposed to draw conclusions that long and that deep. It just felt like too much to take. And when I went to take a breath, I missed the tribute to Rudy. Thank goodness for DVRs. In a situation like that, I wouldn't know if there would be a women's alliance, but it would be in my head. Sure, most alliances go beyond gender . . . but if I'm in a potential minority in numbers, I'd be nervous. And I'd probably be hearing Cirie "Laughing Widow" Fields chuckling in my head. How was Janet selected to go to IOTI? Random pick? Yeah, it raises my eyebrows that an older woman gets forced there after the same thing happened to the other older woman. Janet might have been smart not to play Rob's game (while Sandra does her nails on the side for all we know), but the advantage sounded gnarly. The ability to leave TC before a vote? I hearby dub that the Cartman Idol. As in: "Screw you guys, I'm goin' home!!!" I got nothin' else. I'm thinking Rudy gets a slightly larger tribute at the Reunion.

Awwww . . . I like it when retired veterans emerge from the ether to try their best. And then we get someone like "Shady Shane" who fucks everything up.

No movement on the SPS page. Teege is listed as the host once again. Is there an even number of men and women listed? I'm still expecting a few more names. I'm surprised every time the list ends with Wes, because I keep thinking Zach would be past his name.

Time travel makes everything awkward, doesn't it? Too bad the Legends are in the proverbial cornfield. I do think Team Arrow did try to call Central City. "Hi, you have reached STAR Labs. No one is here to take your call, given that Barry Allen is doomed, and everyone here is trying to deal. Please leave your message after the beep. No guarantee we'll call back, though." Nice to see two generations of vigilantes bond and angst so well. And Curtis is back! I'm guessing not many viewers were overjoyed. At least he has the nice facial hair. And we get Slade's son! Aaaaaaannnnnd he's shipped off to Gotham. I guess he's Batwoman's problem now. Given how Slade called Oliver "brother" often, I kept waiting for Grant to call him "Uncle." Dinah sounded impressed at the thought of a "Canary Network." Only thing missing was her turning to the camera and saying, "That would make for a great backdoor pilot, wouldn't it?" Oliver knew "his" William was gay. I . . . can't see it. Also can't see Rene becoming Mayor . . . but given that Star City has had, like, a dozen Mayors throughout the series, and Oliver had the longest tenure, maybe he does have a shot. Monitor still being a dick. He's probably testing Laurel-2. She did get some choice snark at his outfit. Maybe she isn't beyond redemption.

We got a computer algorithm that thinks like Barry Allen: B.A.R.I. Now I'm hoping Felicity created O.L.L.I. when she raised Mia in the future. Barry and Iris go on vacation for rest, relaxation, and earth-shattering sex that we will never see, and Cisco gets left behind to solve his ex's murder. I'm surprised the Crisis didn't rear it's head, destroying Earth-19. It already claimed one Earth, and I don't think even a character played by Danny Trejo could forestall it. Seriously, can you imagine a wall of anti-matter moving back a few inches due to Breacher's mean look? Anyway, Cisco gets framed for murder by . . . another Cisco. Because while every other Cisco is a "pencil-pusher" (Vibe and Reverb being the exceptions), it never occurs to the E19PD to see if there was a Cisco from their Earth, especially after Cisco and Breacher "see" Cisco killing Gypsy/Cynthia. (Gypthia?) Well, anything to get a Danny Trejo character to a murder frenzy. Meanwhile, Joe and Nash bond during a cave-in, and we're reminded that Joe is basically the heart of this series. I didn't expect his story to end with his neighborhood cooking for him. I would've guessed that would have been the night Nora Allen got killed and her husband went away for that. CaitFrost & Rosso? Whatever. I will say that Sendhil Ramamurthy (thanks, copy-and-paste!) still has the ability to monologue and say stuff that doesn't sound that stupid coming from his lips. It's a gift. It was D'ohinder I couldn't stand back in the day, not him.

Damn, Monitor. You cold.

“I’m Wild Dog. Did I mention I’m Wild Dog? I put on an old-timey hockey mask and shoot people!”

“Canary Network . . . sounds like an excellent backdoor pilot!”

“Well, he’s Batwoman’s problem now.”

Would Grant refer to Oliver as “Uncle”?

“Where did you learn to disarm bombs?” “From you, all right?!? I learned it from watching you!”

Warehouse . . . dead bodies . . . welcome to Arrow! MSCGA. Booooooooooooooo.

Well, he is the tech support for Team Arrow’s tech support. 🤷‍♂️

Or stop by Uncle John’s and turn JJ into Swiss cheese.

Oliver is taking this well.

It’s a credit to these actors that they’re selling Future Murder so well.
