I think so; she had enough social game that Mike was willing to stick his neck out a bit to get her to the finals - that's something.

He's like a fugazi Rodney.

Yeah, that was great. I'm digging Varner's vibe - I feel like he is really going into this with the right attitude.

Seriously. A lot of people must have been thinking: "why the fuck did I agree to put myself through this?" Max and Jim especially looked traumatized - like they were addicts that just hit rock bottom.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Caroline by any means played some sort of impeccable social game. I just think she played a markedly better social game than Mike.

Weren't his own actions the driving force behind that though?

Carolyn played a much better social game - Mike played an anti-social game.

What I didn't like about the whole Dan situation was just how far the show went to highlight his assholery. I feel it would have been far more effective at a lesser degree - they went so far that I kind of felt bad for him tonight. Because he doesn't deserve to be painted as a total un-conciliatory ass - just as an…

Tinfoil hat theory - I don't believe Probst ever said that the person taking Mike's spot had the 11th most votes. I think Probst had a pick, and it is how Savage got on - and I am totally cool with it.

Yes, I was all in on Rodney - he was really one of the few redeeming things about this season in my opinion. There is something about him that is endearing - I'm really not sure what it is about him exactly - but I find him entirely genuine and fascinating to watch.

I really feel like I was deprived something by not getting to see Rodney in the finals - this season needed that, I needed that.

At least there will be no Troyzan.

I'm glad we are finally seeing dense Cersei on the show. Yeah, no way arming the militant faith could possibly backfire on you when you are the most notorious brother fucker in Westeros.

That scene fell kind of flat for me. They want war! And you better watch out, because one of them is really good at throwing spears at stationary targets!

I think they are just going to have Arya straight up murder Trant.

I'm not sure how some of those guys became unsullied.

"Jon Snow showed good sword technique; however, the prisoner did not scream nor suffer enough for this reviewer to give the execution more than a simple head nod."

If Jon burned him alive, Stannis would have given him two thumbs up.

Somehow Tyrion's abridged journey still seems to be taking far too long.

Stannis always appreciates a good execution.
