Cultural oogies is a good way to put it.  I don't like the way the show uses surrounding culture as a prop at times.  Plus, if you're out on an island eating rice every day, don't you just cross your fingers for a pizza buffet or something?  At least I would.  Pre-challenge me would say, "Please let it be an easily…

Why is a tribe swap imminent?  Last season, the producers waited until there were two people left in a tribe.  I, too, think a swap is probably going to happen soon, just because the Fans tribe isn't particularly exciting, but for all we know, it could be a while.

I think Phillip is playing a smart game.  He's still weird, but you can't really say he's not using some kind of strategy.  Who orchestrated Franny being gone?  Nobody else had any reason to vote for her, but it happened anyway.  Then again,  when you win everything, that keeps camp morale high.  Nobody has any reason…

This brings up an important question:  Why would anybody let Brandon near the food?  Philip needs to work on this.  He has all of his catchy nicknames, but where is Brandon's Shadow—whose sole purpose is to make sure Brandon doesn't destroy anything?

Words cannot express how happy I am to have Cochran, Philip and Brandon back in my life. Cochran because he's likable in his dorkiness, Philip and Brandon because they are psychos.

We already did this.  Let's not do this again.

If you view this show as comedy, it's great.  It's the equivalent of B-movie horror.  I happen to love overstuffed cornball horror movies with wooden acting.  Sure, if you look at it seriously to any degree whatsoever, it's an awful show, but why WOULD you watch a show like this in that way?

What kills about that line is that Lisa seems so happy while she is saying it.

I live in Chongqing and it's playing in an IMAX theater relatively close, but relatively close is, unfortunately, about an hour away.

Whenever I hear people bitch about Bob Dylan's voice, I roll my eyes and then punch everyone.  Dude has a sublime voice.  I suppose on the plus side for you, it's not like Dylan is playing out every window.  If you're not actively listening to him and you're not actively listening to classic rock stations, then you're…

As I'm never going to know any of the musicians I listen to personally, I have no reason to judge them for being assholes.  They create great music.  I listen to said music and enjoy it.  If they happen to tell their roadies to go walk barefoot through a mile of snow to get them some Beajoulis, so be it.  I just sort…

I live in China and I'm going to go see Bond tonight.  If I knew more than a scattering of Chinese words and phrases, I would inform the rest of the audience that they are being deceived.

Jumping in belatedly, but I can't think of a director who would have made me think, "Wow, what an awesome choice."  If our end result is like Abrams' 'Star Trek' reboot, then this is going to be an enjoyable, if forgettable, summer movie.  So I guess that's the path this thing is on.  I suppose Enjoyable, If…

Finally saw movie film 'Lincoln' and liked it very much.  Probably my favorite Spielberg movie since 'Saving Private Ryan.'  Unlike some Spielberg movies, it earns its emotions.  I don't know if it will win Best Picture, because the other potential nominees are also crazy strong (and much much different—lots of…

I just remember that Risk took approximately eight years to finish.
