Katie Holmes is underrepresented in this promo

Yeah, those five seconds we saw of him are enough to make that call.

Ian's basically a quitter, right? Isn't that a good reason not to bring him back?

I'm not knocking Brenda's gameplay. I completely agree with the decision to bring her back. But when it comes to personalities and entertaining confessionals, I think Corinne has her beat.

Wow, Corinne's getting a lot of hate. I guess the gay thing is a tad offensive (though she's clearly referring to her very close alliance with another gay guy in her last season—and Michael doesn't seem to have a problem with it), but I can't say she's wrong about Julia being boring. Much like Tyson, she exists solely…

Looks like whoever pointed out that he used "cautiously optimistic" in one of his confessionals was on to something.

DRRREEEAAAMMMZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Usually they toss every contestant one secret scene each week, and judging from her confessionals, they are most definitely not giving her a screwjob. She's just one of those casting duds with personalities that don't make good television.

She cried after Probst called their tribe pathetic. And I laughed.

@avclub-858b67085072a6f2403cf500871f4068:disqus  At the beginning of the game Phillip was the one who wanted to play leader, and the rest of the players wisely stepped out of the spotlight. Everyone is using him as a shield. He hasn't made one decision strategy-wise. Dawn and Cochran booted Francesca, and Brandon's…

"Phillip, you're a bitch!"

They've got an anti-blonde alliance over there! Gasp!

I for one am glad there have been no puzzles this season. The whole go-fetch-this-and-then-form-a-puzzle challenge has been done to death. A bean bag toss is far more compelling to me than a puzzle when it's coming down to the wire.

"I mean…MY ASS!"

"Nice shot there, squirrely boy."

He's supposed to say "All the Fixin's!"

Well, Francesca said in an exit interview that everyone was looking for the idol from the beginning, and that's why she thought Phillip might have had it. But Malcolm didn't find it until what, day 5? So maybe they are kind of hard to find, but the editing doesn't portray it.
