Ha.  Schizopherenic might be closer to the mark than hypocritical.

Confusion?  I liked the way, after the vote, he immediately announced that it was him and he'd "explain later."  It was so charmingly ineffectual.  He just wants to be liked.

I think he did, too.  He obviously has no standing with his tribe, and no real way of changing it.  By flipping he's currently 7th of 7 (instead of 6th of 6) yes, but he's also got something of a fresh slate.  There's more opportunity for moving up the pecking order in the new group than the old one; certainly there…

@Jesus Fucking Christ (and aptly named too):

We need a button for that.

Sure.  It's a minor mystery that so transparently stupid a theory has appealed, at various times, to otherwise smart or talented people.  It's also mildly surprising when you find that, say, Edgar Allen Poe defended slavery on the basis that blacks are sub-human.  The answer, as always, is that even the best and the…

Which simply proves that actors are remarkably stupid.

You mean Christopher Marlowe, who had to fake his death because of… oh, fuck it.

You're right.  Probst or the producers should have intervened and prevented the deal, but they didn't.  And Dreamz did get the car (actually truck), according to wikipedia.

Ozzy is obviously not only inept at the social side, it makes him uncomfortable.  I think he really likes the idea of Redemption Island, of just doing a series of one on one challenges with no strategizing aspects at all, that it appeals to a heroic self-image he has, and that the supposed strategy of asking to go…

Whoa, whoa.  It would be douchey and a bad move, I absolutey agree.  But it wouldn't be on a Dreamz level.  Dreamz didn't just go back on his word, he took payment in the form of a new car and then reneged.  Without returning the car, of course.  That isn't just douchey gameplay, that's fraud if not theft.

I suspect Fincher deserves most of the credit for switching things up in that regard.

Yes indeed.  I had a bit of a crush on her back when she was a MuchMusic VJ.  Still cute as a bug's ear.

The King in Yellow is a great (or half-great) book.  Especially the first story, the Repairer of Reputations, which is just batshit crazy.

Closing Time is actually my favourite early Waits album, but Small Change is a close second.

I have no problem imagining Waits deciding to do a concert tour of Siberia and Sakhalin Island.  In fact I'm mildly surprised he hasn't already.

Shirley Jackson's a good one — We Have Always Lived in the Castle is my favourite, but Haunting of Hill House is scarier (Castle's more just creepy, not frightening).

What's yer taste?  Spooky and atmospheric, or more grotesque and bizarre?
