Thank you! I came here specifically looking for a reason why the Charlotte household was shot in 1980-vintage over-saturated video (complete with light streaks and occasional double images). That it was a 60's soap makes sense- although wouldn't they still have shot in B&W video in 64- the kind that inverts light so…

My wife firmly believes to this day that in the Nicaragua reunion Fabio alludes to finding wild coco leaves and using them as an advantage for hunger management and energy. I thought he meant like "woo spiritual jungle chi", but I'm too poor to pay Amazon to rewatch. Did anyone else catch this? So though you were…

I agree, and I think that's what gimmicks like Redemption Island were meant to remedy- they just haven't worked out a successful one yet. I'm not sure every guy was okay with stealing the women's gear last season (which, on day one, not only created serious animosity but also provided an EXCUSE for the women to not…

Fire metaphor! I bet the vagrant is real and the kid did not
start the (what I’ll assume is just the first) fire. I can see how an innocent
cook-fire that got out of control can take on weird meanings and mythology in
both the paranoid minds of the adults, and the obviously dented brain of the
kid. Some “the panic is…

Me too. I'm also ashamed to admit I did not understand that "totes" was abridged-slang for "totally" until that episode.

"It's like a noodle" was the correct answer, though. Gyp's test: ask a question (sincere or not) and see if the person belittles him for asking. The gas station attendant was on the edge for a second, with the scale of the map, but ultimately passed by finding the right balance of informative yet humble- and got…

Monopolies are always "successful" though, right? Popular product + only realistic way for most to consume = lots of people consuming via that source. I'm sure the sausage company in The Jungle was wonderfully successful, too.  But… the only ways to stop the spiral are A) NBC coverage making the Olympics less popular…
