Can we induct Special Agent Philip Sheppard into the Survivor Old Man Strength Hall of Fame?  There's a now spot for his plaque right next to Tom Westman's and Andrew Savage's.

Strategy? Two challenges?

He made Shane Powers look normal.  Brandon is far beyond the line of the type of personality which should be allowed on the show, and the producers should have known this.

Whoops. It's NBC: does anyone really pay attention?

It's a spot presently occupied by Chicago Hope reruns, in-between "American Ninja Warrior" and 1h cuts of SNL episodes.

There is no better long-term plot than Peter's blindness to his favoritism to hiring pretty white people over more experienced African Americans.

I don't think most law firms have in-house investigators; you contract for one when you need it.

Because she and Alicia aren't besties anymore.

My favorite moment of the episode may have been when they mentioned the firm's former "second investigator," Blake.

Because they'll change the jokes on him between dress rehearsal and live. That's why he breaks so much.

The Terry Sweeney stories from the Shales/Miller book leave him eternally condemned even before you get to Community.

(Also not to be ignored in the math: Candice Bergen's inheritance from one of the most successful performers of his era.)

A few of us were debating this on Twitter last night: among all the folks in the building last night — Michaels, Simon, Aykroyd, Martin, Hanks, and Jay-Z — is Jay-Z actually the wealthiest right now?

I am rewatching Amazon now with my daughters, having done seasons 1-2 and skipped the three in-between. I really trying to throw them off the scent by talking up Butch.

@avclub-a9f5102dde8ca6e2ef0b18e777e918ed:disqus 1. Not everyone literally shook his dick and whacked female competitors with it without their consent.

"And we can make a costume for him to wear …"

After.

@avclub-a1967e6de4ca99fb2635d94b99453928:disqus , sending both tribes is something which happens early in a season, not "well, no one's being medevac'd, so let's shorten this up."  Agreed that Cook Islands had the surprise double in one tribe's TC.
