The good news is, after 30 years of doing this, he no longer has to hope that he gets old before he dies.

I presume Karen will not only be harnessed, but they will use her as the speaking Ambassador of Shame, where she will scold the 2nd Mass for poisoning the planet, killing each other, and consuming too much high fructose corn syrup.

It seems silly to compare Six Feet Under to The Walking Dead until we get an episode with the theme "It sure is tough, yet totally awesome, to be a zombie homosexual."

The Else was an instant classic, great album all the way through, but The Spine has grown on me over the years. Can't wait to give the new one a listen.

I have been saying "burn this mother down" for years, but it never occurred to me to take out a lighter and put my words into action. That's why this episode was awesome.

Where liquor in a mug
Can warm you like a hug
And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away

Interesting thread from a bizarro world where they haven't yet developed ad blocking technology.

Something better than AdBlock? Try closing your eyes. Nothing is better than AdBlock. It turns the Internet into a wonderland.

At this point I don't give a shit what happens to the Redemption Island people as long as they never have Redemption Island again.

Exactly. He didn't even have to punch Big Easy, I would just have liked to see him and his gigantic balls say something negative to Big Easy. For all his talk about kicking ass, when it came down to it his idea of kicking ass was making funny faces behind Big Easy's back and spouting off with some borderline racist…

Ugh. Should the game change back when you see her doing her "baboon in heat" face on the mat with Phil encouraging her? So cringe-inducing.

I'm not sure the girls are dumb so much as they have different goals. Rob and Phillip are thinking about how to win a million dollars. The girls are thinking about how to look pretty on television and the boost to their social status they will get when they return home.

How could he run a cohesive team if he doesn't know what that word means?

Volcano clue
I just want to reiterate the awesomeness of Rob throwing the idol clue, unopened, into the volcano. That was fucking awesome. Rob has done this enough (and has enough natural charisma) that not only can he manipulate his tribe, he can manipulate the editors. He knows how to make them feel good, which is…

Exactly. This is all a big joke to him. He came on determined to play the dumbass, and while he has a natural facility for the part, he is still acting. People should look out, Fabio won a million bucks by pretending he was a complete dumbass when in fact he was only a halfway dumbass.

I loved how the people grabbed him, lifted him, and then shook him. The guy drank 10 gallons of tea, so let's squeeze and shake him. What could go wrong? Why are my waiter clothes so wet?

Do baboons watch CBS?
Mallory's baboon-in-heat routine was off the charts when Phil gave her the special Snapple tea. Seeing her open her mouth so wide, bare her teeth, and screech would definitely give me a boner, if I was a baboon. As a human, it kind of makes me want to barf.

I thought exactly the same thing. It makes no sense to let them use the U-Turn when they are not yet allowed to get their clue. I wonder if the producers let it slide because it didn't have an impact on the outcome, or if they seriously hadn't thought of that before. In any case, I hope they change that rule before…

Russell is a fucking genius. You really need to call your sponsor before you post here.

Wow, when the producers call an audible, they do it up. They switched their plan, invented a new challenge, built the challenge with the materials they had on hand, and gave Rob an 80% chance of winning. I wish they were running the war in Afghanistan.
